I tried to do backtests. Switched to reverse to use limit orders. Used default settings in M15 and M30 TFs. It really looks promising. I don't know why but EA tests very slow. It takes about 15 mins for 1 month.
But anyway, thanks for it and waiting for updates that you mention in the begining.

hi! I wish backtest this Ea from 2014 to now, but I can't because back test starts from November 2016. Why?

Thanks,for sharing EA. i am testing this EA, results are 50-50 so far.This EA executes sideways trades which are most of time are not profitable.If you like you may add functionality that includes executing only those trades in which incoming volume is high.i will test it more for couple of weeks and let you know.

Just remember that using limit orders you will aim at price reversion and retracements (selling highs and buying lows).
In order to test faster, deactivate the GUI and test without the visual mode.

May I suggest something? In order to avoid opening of wrongly placed limit orders, one can trade these as stop orders, while originally being limit ones.

Here is an example. Price is 1.1000. A limit sell is placed at 1.1050. The rate moves up, eventually it does not return to the desired sell direction. At 1.1050, at the level touch, a sell stop is placed 30 pips below, at 1.1020. This way, you will protect, as much as you can, from opening wrong direction trades. The price still can fall down to 1.1020 and pick up your sell stop, but in at least 50% of the occasions, you will have one bad trade less. My personal experience is, we speak about 80% of the occasions...

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the EA. I am testing it and found that it is triggering a duplicate order. setfile attached. I am running it on M1.

I'm also testing it on many cross. I'm using lot size 0.01. It recognizes well the entry points but often closes too late and lost profit. Maybe I should use TP ?

I haven't observed any duplicates in my fwd tests so far, I'll wait and see to correct, stay tuned.

Here is a setfile I'm forward testing, it's not much but I haven't had much time to mess around with the baby.
I use it on USDCAD, AUDUSD, USDJPY and reversed on AUDCAD (ranging pair).

The enclosed backtests are based on these settings, from 1 year long Dukascopy tick data using a pessimistic spreads, from the 12/5/2015 to last week. Hence reliable

Cheers

@Edorenta, what do you think about this indicator? I found it on this forum and looks work good. I'm using it on your EA.

First of all I'm not much interested in third-part indicators or EA, I read a lot of other people's code to learn but that's it.
The file you sent me is a compiled ex4 which means I cannot implement it in anyway
