@biztet said in Profit Math:
@roar , but mine do have 50pips SL and doesn't close that fast.
Also close based on your formula, not candle close.
But your TP is still small, no matter if its reached by a fancy formula.
Look at your backtest report - I'm willing to bet that your average win is many times smaller than average loss.
@alphaomega I noticed a bug in my algo. Weird thing is, I remember fixing that bug before - maybe I shared you the wrong version...
This should work:

@biztet My theory:
Control points = OHLC points.
First the tester reads the open price, and then your EA makes a buy trade with a super small TP. Next the tester reads high price -> your TP is probably activated here. However long the candle lower wick would have been, it doesnt matter because the trade is already closed. However small your SL was, it never activates, because the tester reads the high price first. 100% guaranteed profit.
I'm probably wrong with this theory, but the real issue is something very similar. You get the idea. Crude data testing just doesnt work with delicate EAs (EAs with small stops or otherwise quick closing times).
@alphaomega first thing I note is these trade counter blocks of yours, they add +2 each time... It would be more secure if you just used a loop to sum up all open trades at once, not bit by bit as time goes.
@biztet logic error in block 34. When current profit is higher than earlier record -> update the record. When its not (= yellow output!) -> check how much profit has fallen.
Here's a simplified version of the same thing, no need for formula and ratio variable anymore.

@alphaomega @biztet I have scribbled up these formulas in 5 minutes, can't remember what they are for, but very probably full of bugs and logical errors lol
Please remind me of what you need and I'll think of something
Shift parameter is just regular mql4 thing. Every indicator has it.
@biztet its some error between you and the server, try f5
@tonyramirez that can probably be done with a user script, if you have Tampermonkey add-on. Not my expertise, though
@tonyramirez yes, usually integers do just fine.
You can also set datatype as some enum type, then you'll get the drop-down menu in mt4/mt5.
For example, timeframes datatype is ENUM_TIMEFRAMES

@seb-0 yes, very true, especially in stock markets.
@cdwilder1 yeah, sometimes the names break. I dont know about "BaseRisk", but there are certain reserved variable names in the general structure of fxdreema code - if you accidentally pick some of those reserved names, you going to have bad time
@waynehan hit f2 to open history center and download some data for the tester
@len-1 yes there seems to be a way, no experience of it though
Now, set your next trade lots as
current balance / inibal * lot0
