@tec-nacks there are several that allow EAs to be used.

@leobm55 said in EA based Prop Firm:

have you heard of jeffBenForex and habbyfx?? he is the boss in fx

must not be, never heard of em.

funny that you say that though, because i will notice that the one version of this likes to trade a lot....it will have 2 losses of what visually appears to be maybe 20 points each, will still make me lose more than a single winning trade that appears to be 3 or 4 times bigger. Ive never stopped and measure the size of them in backtest....interesting.

my stops are based on drawn lines of OHLC, so, yes.

bringing in a Youtube expert since I know ive been over this before...

@l-andorrà said in Backtesting, lets talk about it!:

What happens while a candle is in formation is fundamental. Personally I would only focus on working with real tick only. You'll save a lot of time and pain, trust me.

im rereading what you said, and you are saying 2 different things.

candle formation is fundamental. but ticks are not any part of candle formation. this is where I fail to understand why I must have them, I am trying to avoid using them but it seems to give different results no matter what method I use...leading me to believe an all ticks or real ticks test of my candle reliable EA, is not a good way to test because its forcing false data

but I dont care for ticks...I dont care how many orders flow into the market is the premise for why ticks are irrelevant.

I only care for candle position, and when OHLC is done, then I am reacting...again, not reacting to every single trade flowing in.

I am under the impression that backtesting forces the ticks to my EA when in reality they would not be utilized. Is that a correct assumption to make?

levels, are the possible number of levels that you will allow it. It must be numbered from 0 to 31.

So now lets say I want to plot 0,25,50,100

I would refer to those levels now as 0,1,2,3
and then when you reference them in the object block, you will use the level #, not the fib retracement %.

Also, to achieve 227% it would be 2.27

ah disregard, bucket with color.

@jstap as you prescribed how do you call on a value from bucket of positions / closed / pending?

I have NEVER ever used a bucket of anything block, seems interesting the way some people use it.

...and how can I produce better 1m ohlc results. I dont care to operate on ticks, I have a brain for bars, but it must be an error in my logic that I am overlooking

So, I do this often, and am wondering why and how it happens...I understand things that may cause it, but I just dont understand the fundamental reasoning or difference I reckon.

I do not calculate anything in pips for my projects. I do calculations based on candles OHLC, I draw lines based on OHLC of candles and I enter trades based on those lines.

I take profit in various means, RR, % of balance, and opposite conditions.

I terminate EAs based on consecutive losses and 10% DD.

With that, I am able to achieve with 1m OHLC data a graph that looks like this;

however, when I switch to real ticks. I get a EA that terminates.

and every tick

Now, I was not expecting the every tick EA to even get as far as it did....anyways, what I am left wondering is; how did every tick and real ticks produce different results if my EA is entirely controlled via a bar filter before it can do anything?

this is a tutorial section.

Yes, its possible, but if you should start a thread in the proper location with a project link to your attempt to do this on your own...that would be a good start.

manually typing it in where you expect the condition to be happening.

You are also currently using 2 different frames of time because you have timeframe selected as H1 on one while its not selected on the other. that means it will whatever is set to current on your terminal

Welcome, first you must know that nobody is going to build something for you unless you're throwing money around. If thats the case I would recommend seeking out @roar and @l-andorrà

Many examples of things can be found in the dreema provided documentation before even getting to the forum. The forum itself is FULL of the same questions over and over and most things can be found by searching. As far as what you are trying to build, it is logical and it can be done within the same EA without having to use external scripts and things that you mentioned.

Yes for sure, you could get a list of account numbers that are authorized to use it, and if the account number doesn't match your input list, then it won't allow. truly, its not about the account number, but thats what could make it a per person idea.

yo
you dont have candle ids specified.

not a dreema issue, but definitely weird it happened to 2 people almost at the same time

@l-andorrà said in Not enough money to trade weird error:

@TipsyWisdom And is the issue limited to the same symbols only? Apparently it is some random result I can't explain.

it seems that one of my symbols just doesnt work anymore. Data became corrupted? idk whats happened, but no matter f I do it on historical downloaded bars or get them from server, SPX500 will not run for me.
