I don't give a damn about news lol but I know a lot of you do, so I'll back you guys up with my vote

@roar

ok makes sense, especially with the moving avg indicator. Ive noticed in past systems that when I backtest systems have used the MA, it'll backtest slower than my other non-MA systems.

I thought of restructuring also. ill give that a shot.

@TipsyWisdom

That's how I initially created this portfolio. I have all my systems and parameters on a spreadsheet. One by one, I would build the system and backtest to compare trade amount to what I had on my spreadsheet. I doubled checked and had someone else check each system for their constants.

@sktsec that was it! now its trading now. thanks! lets see how it handles all symbols now.

@roar finally! no more error codes! I eliminated the LV variable and made that into different constants instead and created separate block structures for each of those LV. I coded all the symbol and TF into the project and I loaded up the robot on a demo last night to see if I woke up to any codes. I woke up and found no codes and its trading! the portfolio still doesn't match historical results

A - Current version
B - Original version

but it is fine! ill run with this portfolio in the meantime. I will learn mql5 language and dissect this portfolio and get it running at 100%. still! missing over 4k trades is not bad at all. Thanks @roar @sktsec for the help. I really appreciate it.

If youre coding a strategy using fxdreema

please please please remove the idea from your head of trying to "filter" news. At the time of this post, weve all seen this chart:

this is the s&p daily. reflect on the current macro politics...do you REALLY think the markets should be making all time highs? lol youre lying to yourself if you think they should NOT. you see? data doesnt give a fuck. quantify your data. use as much data possible. make sure your cost are covered.

I want to make this post because this is a massive CASE IN POINT.

THE MARKET DOESNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT FUNDAMENTAL NEWS AND NIETHER SHOULD YOU.

I know how much of a pain troubleshooting\debugging code is, If someone could please point me in the right direction, I can figure out the rest.

I would like to replicate the (top) block condition (MA200) to the custom MQL code block (bottom)

both conditions in the MA200 block and custom MQL block use the same logic. using the MA200 block connected to the green bars will execute on each bar below the 200 length moving average

But when i have the custom MQL block connected, it executes on all bars. above and below the 200 moving average. ive added print function to confirm that mt5 is reading this code and it is

im at a loss as to why its executing on all bars instead of the bars below the moving average.

I could use the condition blocks to achieve this but i would prefer to use code as i have many conditions (multipe MA constants)

Its a very simple ma cross over signal using index 1 and 2. yet when i run this in the mt5 backtester, its shorting all candles as if the custom mql code box doesnt exist. am I missing something here?

add a time filter just above your buy\sell block and set it to your broker session time. also place that time filter above any close position blocks. see if that helps.

try going back a couple of steps of history. i didnt have this same exact issue as you, but mine was stuck loading but couldnt open any of the blocks. when i did a search here on the forums on it, some had resolved it by trying another browser (as everyone mentioned here) or by restoring history snapshots. try with the latest and keep going back until you get your stuff back, thats what i did.

Hello

The description should be the other way around, no?

in your constants window, try changing the data type to STRING instead of DOUBLE

@roar ive turned the RSI parameter to a constant instead of a variable. Now each RSI parameter has its own set of blocks.

now that we have the TF and SYMBOL as variables

CADCHF H1 has 142 historical trades
CADCHF H2 has 101 historical trades

I've removed the code and tested it individually and does return the correct amount of trades. but when together

(market == "CADCHF_QDM_FTMO_II" && (TF == PERIOD_H2 || TF == PERIOD_H1))

I get a total result of 190 when it should be 243 total amount of trades. any ideas?

EDIT

Ive tried out the old code as well:

if(market == "CADCHF_QDM_FTMO_II")
{
	TF = PERIOD_H1;
}
if(market == "CADCHF_QDM_FTMO_II")
{
	TF = PERIOD_H2;
}

This results in H1 only being traded. H2 is ignored.
