Connecting multiple conditions
-
Hi all - what's the correct way to connect the condition block (stochastic buy and sell signals) and the bull/bear block signals (i.e. both blocks must be true before a buy or sell)? See two unsuccessful attempts below. Thanks
-
Move the 'once per bar' block from both positions to immediately above both 'buy/sell now' blocks.
-
Just tried it that way but still not working - first with the "no position" block above each branch and then without the "no position" block at all?
-
Regarding the Strategy Tester, the same day for the same assets (Gold, EUR/USD etc.) works for other EAs - so I don't think it's an issue of missing data/history
-
please, first, check the journal of strategy tester.
-
Journal says "nothing to analyze" - it's the same message it gives if MT5 still has to download the relevant asset's history. But in this case, the history is already downloaded/available, which is why the Strategy Tester works for other EAs (using exactly the same dates as for the above EA)
-
please can you share your project to look inside
-
Ok - https://fxdreema.com/builder . Regarding the bull/bear block settings, I've tried it with both the "once per bar" and "continuous" options, but no success

yours is the link to the builder not to the project

In your inputs you chose a minimum candle size of 200 pips, that's a lot. Change this value and you will see that it works.
-
Thanks - yes I can see that it works with smaller minimums; but with the 1 hour timeframe (plus longer timeframes), particularly for XAUUSD (gold), 200 pips is not a lot - in fact, the average size of the candlesticks for the said timeframes is above 500 pips. Do you know how I can get it to work with the 200 pips minimum (for the appropriate assets)? Here are some pics showing the large candlesticks for gold (all are well over 500 pips):

@Lerumo do not confuse points with pips
-
OK, I see the numerical error - I'll just use 20 instead of 200. Many thanks for your assistance
Side note: It's a bit strange though, because I have tested other EAs (with exactly the same project options/settings) where a TP or SL of 50 pips, 100 pips etc is directly converted into 50/100 points when trading Gold and using the same MT5 account and broker. Is the "pips" definition for the bull/bear blocks different from, e.g., the buy/sell now blocks? If so, how can I get the definitions aligned since the project options are exactly the same for both blocks (which, in this case, form part of the same EA)?

There is no difference between blocks regard the pip size. Some intrument you want to trade, instead can have one or two or three or four digit, so make sure to setup the pip rules size inside evry project. This way i have no problem:
0.1 = 1
0.01 = 0.1
0.001 = 0.01
0.0001 = 0.001
0.00001 = 0.0001
0.000001 = 0.0001

Ok thanks
