I see, you just want to suppress Buy or Sell orders if needed. Not force a Buy order where otherwise a Sell would have been made. I have added the TradeDirection input parameter to version 1.20. See post #1 for download link.

You got it. Added a MaxSpreadPips input parameter to version 1.15. See post #1 for download link.

If the backtest stops, then the EA must have logged an error message. What does it say in the "Journal" tab?

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

The TakeProfitPips parameter is from the original strategy. It sets the TP level of the first order opened. The BasketTakeProfitPips parameter was added on request of cescof to not close the basket at breakeven, but wait a bit longer before closing ...

Can you elaborate? How should we react to varying spread?

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

Yes, that is very powerful feature. Looking forward to see how a larger set of EAs running in parallel makes the equity curve more smooth (hopefully). Is it not possible to just select only the desired pairs when starting the Strategy Tester? Or ...

Posted version 1.05 (see post #1) EntryDelayMinutes: Entries can be delayed until few minutes after daily open for brokers that temporary stop trading at the session start, default is 15 minutes (cescof, post #2) BasketTakeProfitPips: Option to ...

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

Haven't used it myself, but I read good things about Tickstory that can download tick data from Dukascopy. Unfortunately that is hard to avoid with this strategy which doesn't have a real "edge". I tried inverting the logic, or using random buy/sell ...

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

I am not sure that is worth the effort at this point. I think we need to do a lot of experimentation to try out all sorts of settings and improvements. It does not make sense to do that in forward testing, as this would take years. Instead, we need ...

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

Yes, absolutely. You have real tick data, simulated delays/slippage, see the actual drawdown during each trade (as opposed to after closing the trade like in MT4). And very interesting: you can test multi-currency strategies. We might want to try ...

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

What do you mean? Instead of 0:00 you want to enter at a different configurable time like 0:30? Or should we look at the spread and wait with entering until the spread is low? What do you propose? A configurable TP in Pips? A configurable profit for ...

DOSI: Daily Open Strategy Improved

This forum tries to connect traders and encourages cooperation, so lets share the MT5 EA with all. I strictly followed the strategy from post #1, as per request of OP. For convenience, my EA can correct for broker GMT offset, and can be dropped on a ...

DOS. Daily Open Strategy. Easy To Trade, Simple To Win (EA..soon)

You seem to be confusing "comments" with line/column information. The build-in C++ compiler (some variant of MSVC) can include this information for debugging purposes. A comment is something between /* .... */ or following the // characters. Why ...

Your EA is being HACKED! Time to migrate!

@dispersion: where have you read that it is now paid? I must have missed that.

Gain Capital historical data feed discontinued?

Alright, then ;-) Made 47 + 39 pips on USDJPY,M5. Got a bit scared halfway, but decided to continue the trend. This turned out to be good decision. image

Yes indeed, your strategy is so simple and clean that using an EA is not necessary, especially on the Daily time frame. I am trying to understand how to draw the trendline immediately after having switched between long/short direction. Typically ...

I am trying to capture this stategy in an Expert Advisor: url The program tries to avoid too steep trendlines, and tries to limit them to about "45 degree" lines (taking average screen size and auto-scaling of MT4 into account). The trendline is ...
