@l-andorrà Hello my friend, I tested the way you said and data was missing, the best way I found was putting the pink block " once per trade/order" connected to "For each closed position" and it worked perfectly.
Thank you for your help, always very present and enlightening.
Hello friends, I have been noticing that more and more brokers are offering bad (tick data) and the result is always:
With that in mind, I want to develop a solution that can protect against these (brokers' scams).
Does anyone already have a project or part of a project ready that can help?
My logic would be that the EA, even before executing it, scans the symbol looking for these imperfections.
The EA would start as follows:
Mark the start of the Market whenever the 1st tick of the market occurs (ie the market makes the first tick movement). This would already solve the problem of starting the trading session, as the first tick of the market would identify the opening price of the 1st candle of the day in the current time frame, therefore the (real time that the market started).
I don't know if it's possible, but as it is a backtest environment, the EA will analyze after the item 1 command if there was a total number of candles on the day (This would detect the (lack of candles) on the market day. If there is no candle, there is no traded price and this can generate serious failures in the backtest, providing profits or losses (which should not happen).
Detect gaps between prices. I understand that these gaps can sometimes even exist, but they must not be continuous cases or very large gaps, this also causes damage to profits and losses, the difference between the closing of the previous bar can never be so great in relation to the opening of the current bar .
I haven't started the project yet, because I would like to have the opinion of those who want to contribute, so the initial idea would be to start the project and keep updating it, this project would have the purpose of being a kind of (market scanner) it would look for malfunctions and then (supposedly mark these breakpoints) so that strategies can skip those trading days that are faulty, or else adapt to these faults so that they can't have their backtest results fooled by the brokers' data.
Hello all,
I just put 3 blocks in the "ontrade" tab directing to close open and pending trades whenever some other trade is closed.
But what happens is totally incorrect.
When opening an order in any direction, the order is closed immediately.
You can put the robot on the graph and you understand what I mean.
Can you please adjust this block?
I achieved "%0a" is a correct Delimiter for this, thanks for you help @sktsec and for ChatGPT heheh

You can share the Settings tab screen to see more information, for example:
All of this makes a huge difference when optimizing because the longer the time and the greater the amount of data to be optimized, the longer the processing time will be for it to find results.
The MT5 optimizer works very well, but there are many steps to be analyzed internally in MT5 and also in your EA in terms of parameters.
I believe that most people develop EA's and want to test in OHLC, but the correct thing is to test in Each tick based on a real tick, but it is also necessary to analyze in your EA where to place the blocks (once per bar), currently I use it in practically every my EA and all my strategies this block and only in the management part I do not allow the use of it, as it is necessary to check (at each tick) trailings and money information, so what I want to say briefly is that all its logic it has to be well thought out so as not to overload optimization through MT5.
Another very important detail is that it is necessary to clean internal data from the Terminal and Tester folders, internally there is data that is saved from previous optimizations or from symbols that were downloaded during previous backtests and this consumes space on your disk. (Optimization takes up disk space).

@Gary-0
I had no progress with the implementation of neural networks, I looked for several professionals and I even offered a good amount in dollars and even so the majority of them were people who just said they were experts, but full of theories and very little or practically no practice , they just wanted to get some money in exchange for no effort.
@Dreamland9
In my opinion, I would consider you to specialize in avoiding what the majority do, as the majority is losing in the market. They say that less than 5% of people lose money.
I'm working in the Forex market and I think that when I talk about specializing I mean delving into all aspects of a parity, for example EURUSD, OR XAUUSD etc... And from there you go for a strategy that you believe is profitable and finally focus on management, it doesn't need to be 3, 4 5, 6 strategies because in the end just 1 strategy being profitable will save you time and be more focused on your plan, a vast majority are developing different strategies and get lost in the objective The ultimate goal is to be profitable.
