@fabiobioware thanks for the invitation, but I'll just stick here on the forum.

@traderea6 ok this is a fairly large subject, so I'll make a tutorial to the tutorial section of this forum, check it out!

@traderea6 optimizer has nothing to do with data accuracy. It just improves your strategy itself.

For example, you might have SL 50, TP 50, and use 13-period moving average.

With optimizer you can also test SL 40, TP 55, and use 14-period moving average.
You can quickly test even billions of different combinations of these input parameters, because the optimizer has a "smart" genetic algorithm for finding the best result.

The different options are the "goals" for the optimizer, how it measures a "good" EA. I recommend only max recovery factor, others give pretty random results.

@fabiobioware yes. You can also put the variables in a comment block and see real-time how they flow through the steps

@traderea6 I think the same.

Its a shame so many new traders are guided towards mt4, as mt5 offers far better environment for developing EAs.

@jzfusion Very close. I see you reset the lost when that condition is true (orange). However, if the condition is not true (yellow), the variable will keep the value and this may cause problems when the loop runs again some time in the future.

This is why I like to reset the variable at the pass-block right before the loop, so there will be no surprises.

@cliff-0 just connect the blocks in a row then

@cliff-0 is there any time difference between the 2 conditions? Or both happen at the same moment?

@traderea6 mt5 tester will automatically download as much data as the broker has available, no need for manual history center things

@fabiobioware Did I understand: you want to compare 2 consequent tick updates?

You are right with the 2 variables.

You must first save the new variable into the old variable.
Now the new is available for changing. The order is very important here.

@ralph The quality depends on your broker. I use FXTM for my mt5 testing, they have 99% quality for at least 10 years back.

Does this work

@biztet hi!

No, I don't think this is possible. A price level take profit will always need a price, oscillator value such as 80 doesn't make much sense. EURUSD rarely reaches 80.0000 lol

@civileng20102000 hi!

I'm not sure how to get zigzag (1) as I never use the indicator, but here's the math part at least:

@zackry never used that block lol

Based on my tiny knowledge of http stuff, you have to use POST method for sending the account number, but yeah I'd guess its possible with that block.

details?

@diddyer no shortcut by fxdreema, but if you are ready to work directly with mql5..

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/marketinformation/symbolname

SymbolName(1, TRUE) will return the first symbol on marketwatch, like EURUSD. Now make a loop that goes through 1... n where n is SymbolsTotal() and add all results to a single string.

I'm not going to do it for you, here's only the clues if you are willing to learn it yourself.

No problem
When we did the similar project years back, that "profitable first" sorting wasn't yet available in fxdreema, I think.
