Hello!

https://fxdreema.com/shared/LHfpMaIbb

In this system. I am trying to backtest a multi TF system. I have created a constant that acts as an on and off switch to disable other currencies/TF while back testing. In this example that I have provided, if you look in each condition, you'll notice the constant for the candle period. "1 = on". "-1 = off". Having "-1" helps because when I would use a "0" as the candle ID I knew MT5 would not make any trades on that currency, but for some reason it did. So using a "-1" shuts that portion of the system down or prevents that specific currency/TF from trading in backtest.

So now that I am able to backtest without random trades from other currencies, I am now running into TF issues. If I optimize M15 EURUSD to get the optimal parameters and write it down. I would then use "-1" to disable M15 EURUSD and now type "1" to enable H1 CADCHF and run an optimization and write down those optimal parameters. I now would type "1" to enable BOTH currencies and just run a backtest using optimal parameters and would ONLY get results from the M15 EURUSD.

I tried to change the TF in the "more settings" in the condition block but to no avail. My actual system has 3 pairs on 3 different timeframes but only makes trades on the M15 TF. When I disable all other currency/TF and backtest individually, I have no issues. It's when I have to enable all currencies/TF and run backtest is where my problem is.

Please advise!

EDIT: Changed price modeling from "open prices only" to "1-minute OHLC" and seems to now trade all currencies/TF like I wanted. O_o

Hello

I would like to check for profit on bar close and if it is in profit, I would like to close the position.

This is what I have: shared/gYaZqETO

This works when it wants to. On some pairs it works great in backtesting than some other pairs, my laptop fans kick up and I can see the estimated complete optimization completion time start to build up. I left it on earlier today and saw that time above 1000 hours and counting to optimize 2 parameters with less than 1000 passes. This only happens when I introduce the close in profit to the code. I am positive and correct me if I am wrong, that it is how I built the logic in this EA.

Any way to make this simple idea easier to streamline when optimizing?

Thanks.
