isnt that how fxdreema works? A partial close sells and then rebuys with a lower volume.

Is anyone else having issues with saving and then getting your EA to trade?

I am currently building a EA based only on price action, when I make a change to it, I resave it as the same name, I go back to my MT5 software, refresh, and then run strategy tester. Many times lately after making small changes such as TP pips or SL, the EA will no longer work after a few small changes. I know there are no problems with what I am changing, such small adjustments to TP or SL shouldn't stop me EA from trading so I am wondering if anyone else is maybe having compiling issues?

I get these errors:
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 2017.01.02 00:01:31 Ticks data collector error: EURUSD cannot be backtested. Only the current symbol can be backtested. The EA will be terminated.
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 2017.01.02 00:01:31 ExpertRemove() function called
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 removed itself within OnTick

I am not changing my date range between refreshes, I am not changing the time frame that I am testing.

If I recreate the EA with a from scratch each time, it will work. Can anyone explain what might be wrong?

block #4 in your 4H tree is very problematic. Doesn't want to allow the 4H tree to agree with the 30m is something else I notice...along with the lack of searching for price action. Unfortunately I dont think that the indicator alone strategy can work.

you're not alone...when everyone convinced me to switch, nobody gave me the disclaimer that the blocks aren't the same. lol! there was something else very important.....if I remember I'll let you know...but double check EVERY block doesn't have a more improved version in MT5.

very nice tool!

@bk7 yes sir, you're exactly right. but it really is deeper than that. it all depends on strategy.
Price action?
Indicators?
News?
Time?
Other markets?

I just slightly optimized from the results above and created an EA based solely on nothing but time of day and its works pretty damn good for 2013 to 2021. Not a single indicator in sight and it feels good to have accomplished...lol. After my last run of the EA I achieved something like 400 trades total with over 70% accuracy in shorts and longs across EUDUSD and USDCHF....something along those lines.

Unfortunately I dont have a computer to connect to the internet to run it in real time on a demo account right now.

sorry for the delay, yes gents...i will see what I come up with. one day...haha

anything TRO modified varies with every tick. Its hard to use his stuff...he already has a few automated button trading options like the "3 level ZZ semafor TRO modification" that you might want to check out. Find the rules on how to trade it.

@bk7 surely someone has done this by now. I'll try to browse around for it. Thank you!

@l-andorrà I am at a point I need to start testing my EA on various currencies, stocks, etf's, etc. Is there a way to set an EA to autodetect the paramaters and change what I need to in order to make the everything converts?

I have recently started using this, "waiting" period by using flags.

Conditions set, if conditions met, set flag numerical value to 1

check flag, if value = 1, then next condition to 1.

if the next condition is met, dont forget to set the flag back to 0.

nice one rahim, I've never used bucket of trades before.

you can not just copy and paste EAs from mt4 to mt5, there are different blocks. Its best to remake it 1 by 1 block when transferring over.

@gtoat777

from a testing a functionality stand point...yes. There are reasons people use MT4. I couldn't tell you why really, you get a lot of statistical data after testing EA's on MT5 and thats worth a ton to me.

I think thats just another way to say statistics.

If statistically Mondays and Fridays are very volatile days, I want to avoid them due to unpredictability. That's an optimization parameter. But either way, that makes no matter to me or this EA example, I think I'm confused when he said that to begin with.

The rules for this EA are based solely on a single 4H time price VS price of day. 0 indicators. If I could get it to close the trades on gold now, it would be profitable there too. Just asking for a place to forward test this EA because I don't have a place with a constant computer to run it

@seb-0 not sure where you heard that before, but its total bs. If someone thinks they can put up a few blocks, allow the computer to change a bunch a variables, pay some $$ for the cloud processing power on MT5...I still think you would not be able to produce a good EA. A better understanding of price VS time would be more worth while.

I am just looking for somewhere to run my EA on a demo account because I don't have a dedicated computer that will be online.

i dont think your logic is right for closing the trade.

I would start; for each trade, check conditions (2 conditions), close trade. no OR block needed. Just put both closing conditions coming from the same "for each trade" or perhaps "if trade" works better for you.

i think you need to change the check profit block.

Profit is the sum of Money (by position is probably the one you want?)

@gtoat777 mine did, much more accuracy on MT5.

i dont know if theres much I can do for history data. being that im going as far back as 2010...it is what it is. with 100% accuracy on a shorter time frame, it is still in the high 60 percentile win rate with a PF of higher than 1.25.

Anyone have a good free, or cheap resource to run this EA on a server that doesn't go down? Or anyone know the ability to load and run EA's from a mobile platform?
