Highest Open / Lowest Open Trade

Backtesting is a waste of time.
Instead, perform a real test - the 10 trade challenge.

What was the chart period of the highest open for the trade?
Can not determine from the chart.
Advise - Expect to lose some of the time.

yes backtest is just to have a visual representation of how it works and what to avoid!

before really trading with this system however, I need it to at least... automatically print stuff on charts.
will now add the possibility to set order quickly (one button) or 100% automatic (no difference at all imo in this case).

It is now up to you to post charts.

Making mistakes messes with many athletes’ minds. You see it all the time and you probably have experienced it to some degree.

You have trained hard for this one competition... You dedicated yourself to your sport... You pushed yourself to the limit in practice... You refined your technique... You feel confident as the competition moves near...You feel totally prepared.

And then the unexpected happens... You fall, trip, miss, foul, get disqualified or something equivalent that leaves you feeling devastated. You ask yourself, “How in the world could this have happened?”

Now what? You have another event coming up.

You have two choices: (1) You can respond negatively to the last competition and allow this to carry over into your next competition; or (2) You can respond with the toughness of a fighter.

Mental toughness is that positive response to adversity. Mental toughness is the mindset that forges forward instead of choosing to relive negative moments.

In order to achieve your athletic potential you need to buy into the old adage, “It’s not what happens to you that matters; it is what you do with what happens to you that matters.”

With the 2016 Rio Olympics soon approaching, you can find many inspiring stories of athletic success. These inspirational athletes are able to flex their mental toughness muscle because they have made a conscious choice and commitment to develop the mental side of their game.

Olympic athletes only get one shot every four years and understand that, if they are going to be successful, they will need a strong mental game.

These athletes have committed to put in countless hours of mental training knowing that mental obstacles are often bigger than the physical challenges of competition.

Track and Field runner Brenda Martinez had trained for years to compete in the Olympics in the 800m.

Martinez was running a great race with about half a lap from qualifying for her first Olympic team when her feet tangled with another runner causing her to lose her balance.

By the time she recovered four other runners passed her, dashing her Olympic hopes in the 800m.

Martinez could easily have allowed her emotions to ruin her trials and chance to achieve her goal of competing in the Olympics. Instead, Martinez chose to forge forward and mentally started preparations for her next race, the 1500m.

Was Martinez upset? Sure she was. But Martinez had a job to do and a goal to achieve. Martinez understands that wallowing in self-pity has no benefit to her next race.

MARTINEZ: “The track doesn’t care about your feelings. You’ve just got to move forward.”

Martinez’s mental toughness proved to be the difference maker when she ran the 1500m three days later.

Not only did Martinez stumble a couple of times during the Finals, she was fifth with 200m remaining and only the top three finishers make the Olympic team.

Martinez dug deep, drove hard to the finish, finished third by three one-hundredths of a second and made the USTAF Olympic team.

MARTINEZ: “I just kept telling myself not to give up.”

Just think of what you could do athletically with the added benefit of mental toughness.

Mental Toughness Tip:

First, look for inspiring stories of Olympians or professional athlete overcoming adversity. Print out news stories about mental toughness and write their quotes in a notebook.

How can you think more like an Olympian and respond to challenges with resilience and mental toughness?

Here's your formula for success:

Commitment to training + high motivation + mental toughness = success

"However, studying only gets you so far. Eventually you must step outside of your comfort zone and take action.

I learned this the hard way. My lack of experience and unwillingness to step outside of my comfort zone has sometimes held me back from reaching my goals as fast as desired. " - Craig Ballantyne

"Losing is a normal part of trading."

Bleeeppp. Wrong answer.
Hi, it's Jennifer. I'm back in
your in-box with some good
news about losing!
You do not have to enter the
world of trading with the
dreaded notion that "losing
is a normal part of trading."
If you thought losing was
normal, you might think you
need to take a whole lot of
trades to make sure you get
some wins in there, too.
If you thought losing was a
normal part of trading, you
might also think you should
use a tight stop-loss so it's not
too consequential when you
do lose.
When you think losing is a
normal part of trading, you
expect to lose. When you
expect to lose, guess what
happens? You find losers!
Free yourself from all
those wrong answers.
Pretend for a moment that
what I'm about to tell you
true. (Because it is!)
Losing is not a normal
part of trading.
Do not take more trades
to cover the losses. Instead,
identify some repeatable
patterns in the market, and
then you can anticipate
what comes next. That's
when you should trade!
Do not limit your "risk" by
using a smaller stop-loss.
Risk is an existing condition
of the trade setup. If you
attempt to make your stop-loss
tighter, you increase your
chances of ending in loss. If
your trade setup requires too
large of a stop loss, avoid
taking that trade, and wait for
a better entry. That's the only
way you can actually
reduce "risk".
I'm not saying we never lose
a trade. We do! But it's an
entirely different mindset
when I tell you losses serve
a purpose in trading.
When you take a loss, the
market is showing you what
it's not doing. By the
process of elimination, you
can now figure out what
it is doing.
Sometimes market timing
isn't ready. You'll be there
taking the same trade when
the market comes back with
better timing.
Sometimes the market is on
the edge, and we're trying to
figure out if it will go up or go
down. The market can only do
1 of 2 things. If you get it
wrong the first time, now you
know. Use that information!
I love losses, truly, because they
get my attention. If I take a loss
because the market reversed out
of my trade setup, I watch closely.
If it fails to produce the opposite
move I am ready and waiting with
pending orders to get right back
in my original trade, and maybe
even add to it. Because, I know
if it fails to progress in the
opposite direction, chances are
good it will come back to my
original plan with urgency, and
I won't miss it.
Don't accept losses as normal.
Don't try to "control" risk. It
is what it is. Instead, use the
losses to get your attention, and
watch carefully. The market can
only do 1 of 2 things. Showing
you what it's failing to do is
the same thing as showing
you what it is going to do
next. You got this!
Be calm, and turn a loss around
so it works for you!
Have a wonderful rest of you day!
Jennifer

Did you read the EA criteria I posted earlier in the thread BEFORE you tested your automation?
NO?
Then the results are invalid.

Where did everyone go?

I'm here I will post tomorrow again my charts. Today results : 4 winners 1 loser. 5% profit so far so good thank you mate for this strategy.

Ok, thanks, mate.

Today I finally started to simulate the strategy using Forex Tester 2. I set the Ho, Lo, DH and DL manually and move them accordingly.
Maybe because it's my first day I got awful results. The winning % was less than 20%.
Very often when the M5 candle opens between the H1 Open and the daily L/H, it returns to the H1 open, hits the pending order and continue making a new H/L giving you loses.

Post the charts showing the trades.
