{quote} Redfan, I could not see any errors and it could be that a signal has not occurred yet on the H1. Just to confirm, you must use the exact name of the pair as identified in market watch in mt4 (Ctrl +m). If you just want to see if it trades, try a lower TF like M15.

will give it a try

USD/JPY 15M + GBP/USD 15M = GBP/JPY 5M

So it should look like this.



Thank you.

Yes indeed. I saw it reach 75% return yesterday ( in 2 days). A better profit protecting method should be used. Anyway, TE is in its 3rd day which is a too short period to judge, and thodie is using a high leverage, but as he said, this is what testing is for, testing the borders. So lets see how bad it can get.

A very nice H&S though on the TE "return by trade graph"

This is the strategy tester chart on the left side and the forward testing chart on the right side - you can see it's the same.

Conclusion the forward testing result is a little bit better than the strategy tester result.

Today i tried a new approach, ditching EUCHF, EURAUD, EURGBP from the forward test and focusing only on the yen pairs. I also used a fix lot sizeof 0.01.
Concept which i will try to enforce is to close all trades at the end of us session max. Also i would like to add GBP pairs when i find right combinations. Please note that DD is 20% because i used script to close all orders first orders in loss then orders in profit so that created this relative DD. So far these are the results for today:

Great work, James T. When a forward test is a direct match to a backtest, there is still hope.

Sharing the system's source code:

There were many requests directly on this thread or through private messages for sharing the mq4 source of the system.
The 2 main reasons that stop me from doing that are:

  1. Bad experience on previously shared source of my other systems
  2. I usually loose interest in further development after I share the system's source

The system idea is simple, and continuous enhancements are being discussed openly in this thread. I don't think replicating the code will be an issue for any coder.
And who knows, maybe at the end I will share the mq4 file in the thread as I did with other systems.

No issue at all. You are already doing a great work in providing us with a free of charge EA.
I prefer that all developments are done by one person rather than having several EAs coded differently.
I fully support your argument Khalil.
But no matter what you do please don't put a time restriction on the EA.

I've been running an H1/M5 demo for nine days and thought it would be interesting to compare forward performance
with backtested performance over the same time period. Although there are differences in trade stats in specific areas,
the overall results are very close.

Total profit and profit factor are virtually identical, but DD is better going forward.

Hi Abokwaik,

I have some queries which need to be clarified:
1. If I set true for ATR including TP/SL, which one will the EA take, TP/SL in general (i.e.5000 and 1000) or TP/SL as set in ATR?
2. Is it OK if both signal and chart lower than H1, but SL is 1000 ? Is it considered reversal than correction?
3. What is your view if I run this EA in demo next week with the same pair and the same TF but with difference magic number, one for buy only and other for sell only. Can be profitable or may lead to the double loss?

ATR levels, See post # 274.

2. Is it OK if both signal and chart lower than H1, but SL is 1000 ?
The EA wont say no.

The EA doesn't care.

You can achieve the same by setting "close on reversal" to false, and "hedging| to true.

You don't have to justify yourself for non sharing it. You are the sole owner of your code and the decision is yours and should be respected.

Keep up the great work you are doing here
