(the breakout candle must be closed before the trade will be opened) {file}
Damiend, thank you for the EA. Could you put an option to enter the trade at the breakout, without waiting for the candle to close? I would like to test both ways.

@Damien,

I would suggest (only for testing) to setup a Martingale feature whoch can be turned on and off. Perhaps with a Martingale-Factor?

Before everybody screams...I know that Martingale Strategies are very BAD...Nevertheless my backtest showed that maximum 4 trades were unsuccessful. This could be a nice feature...

Thank you in advance

Marc

For better result not only we must consider BOX breakout but also we must consider previews weekly candle closing. it is too important

Hi,

You might want to check on this: the EA shows the proper time 'box', no problem. The problem is that in figuring out the Fib ratios, its taken into consideration a low in price prior to the correct time period.

Am I doing something wrong or is the program looking too far back in data to calculate the 1.618 and .5 ratios?

Thanks for looking into this.

I combine zach's box breakout strategy with last weekly candle closing for diagnosing main resistance and support in week

Hm strange, it's opening trades in my backtests.
Could you check if you have an error message in your strategy tester's "Journal" tab ? Is it with default settings?

Also ensure to have these settings:

  1. TradingEnabled = True
  2. AsianSessionPipsMax = very high value to be sure the max pips is not reached

Good idea Marc, but I would prefer to ensure we have a stable EA that opens 1 order at a time before implementing such a feature. I keep this in mind for a future version though.

Here you go, Damien.

The key is that for some reason the Fib Proj's are not being based on the 'Box', it's pulling in some prior time to figure the 1.618 and .5 calcs. Here is a snapshot of both the chart and my settings. Hope it helps.

@Damiend your EA Fibo Hi-Low is wrong.

Hi-low fibo is take only from candle in the box.
Please look this picture fibo line:
