Hi Kent, First, try to save whatever Events History database you have, by running a backup. See the "Export (Backup)" section here: url for instructions. If the software continues to crash with errors, then I'm afraid you've lost your prior ...

Temporary fix — Kent (pips4life) is correct. The news event he mentions contains a "funny" character. Here is a temporary fix: Press F9 to display the Event History database. Find FF news event #9896 (date: 7/29/2008, descr: "S&P/CS HPI ...

I apologize for any negativity in my tone — Fxstu, I certainly didn’t intend my comments to sound negative, and I’m truly sorry if they came across that way. Everybody who’s read my other posts knows that I’m an ex-software developer, who ...

Swef System

Zen, I've just looked through your EA source. You must have spent many hours on this. Error checking, output to log files, many customizable options..... wow, it's an amzingly comprehensive piece of code (almost 800 lines). And immaculately laid out ...

@K2KV (post #133): Jeff, sorry if I misunderstood, on my first read I thought the idea in post #65 was to close only the pending orders if MACD < 0. Re-reading that post, it looks like I also missed the fact that "another buy trade is placed every ...

Very interesting method, Fxstu, many thanks for sharing. First I want to make sure that I understand correctly, then I’ll try to offer some meaningful comment, for whatever it’s worth. Please correct me if/where my understanding is wrong. -- We’re ...

Mr Jedi, I'm trying to understand what you want your final output to look like. The Tunnels.MQ4 draws tunnels similar to the Vegas method, and as far as I can tell, is doing that correctly. The Lines.MQ4 is currently drawing a series of lines with ...

Tonirai, try something like this: int start() { datetime TimeArray[]; ArrayCopySeries(TimeArray,MODE_TIME,Symbol(),TimeFrame); int j=0; for(int i=0; i<=Bars; i++) { while(Time[i]<TimeArray[j]) j++; if(j>ArraySize(TimeArray)) break; ...

Fixed bug in Alert_News indicator — I've stopped it from displaying Alerts like "NEWS: 111110000" Not sure why it was doing this, but I've included a check so that it now displays the Alert only if there's meaningful text in the news event's ...

Re-optimization — Tom, what happens if you run your EA over the full data window, and then re-optimize the parameters (MA1, MA2, TP, SL) while reducing the window progressively by one year each time, i.e. removing the most recent year on the ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Rabid, I’ve hijacked Tdion’s thread too far already (sorry, Tom!), so I’ll make this my absolute final post on this topic. Just want to make sure that I understand CLT. The coin flip is a binomial distribution, and the probabilities are shown in ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Another angle (hopefully; it's 2am here in New Zealand and I'm feeling a little sleepy). Rabid, to apply the dice game analogy to trading, price is at 100, I buy 1 lot, and it moves to 106 (corresponds to a dice roll of 6). Now, everything else ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Rabid, in response to post #86: Ok, I (hopefully!) understand where you're coming from, but apparently we see this differently. You say that random data regreeses to a mean. Coin-toss analogy: let a head represent an uptick (+1), a tail a downtick ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Nice post, 007, I couldn't resist replying to a couple of your points. David

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

I'm not trying to attack you, Rabid, I enjoy reading your posts. But I'll eat my gardening shoes if anybody can show me a system that's capable of attaining positive expectancy, indefinitely, when confronted by a randomly generated data set. In ...

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

@Alberto, Good question IMHO. If everything was equal, it would make no difference. -- A high win rate, high risk to low reward (I call that "low RR" or "low R-value", but that’s just my way of thinking ) system, will have fewer losses, but when ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Dito, I believe you see the concept similarly to the way that I do. Using prior S/R to determine potential RR, and hence the quality of a DIBS entry, was one of the points I made back in post #3945, and your charts illustrate that point very ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Juicyt, I've attached the indicator to this post. If the trouble you describe is an error message saying that you need to register (it's free), then I would suggest that it's worth it, as you can then view all attachments, and download indicators ...
