There is no special reason. I assume that the internal SMA periods have no meaning at all (at least not for what i'm doing here), other than controlling the smoothness. I have something similar and a few months older here: url It uses the ...

Yes, it is like a coin toss, but some of the coins are biased. Every other trading system is also nothing more than tossing more or less biased coins. The H4 system has made 6 trades since this thread started. It is absolute too early to draw *any* ...

This statement in its absoluteness is wrong. Every strategy that doesn't use Ticks (a strategy that will only trade or place or change orders on bar open) can very well be tested in open-prices-only mode. The only thing that could go wrong here ...

Why does Backtesting differs so much ?

Because doing this with an excel sheet is the most complicated and intransparent and unmaintainable method one could think of. Therefore the need (following your own KISS principle) to have the same formula, the same calculations in a simple MT4 ...

Then maybe price differences instead of prices.

Maybe instead of trying to model price directly as a function of time you could try to model price as a function of past prices, indicator values, indicator values of n bars in the past, prices of other pairs, etc.

This whole topic is somehow related to something i am currently trying. Consider the following code: double getValue(){ return( iAC(NULL, 0, 0) * a + iAC(NULL, 0, 1) * b + iAC(NULL, 0, 2) * c + iAC(NULL, 0, 3) * d + iAC(NULL, 0, 5) * e + iAC(NULL, ...

Wrong. By using a stoploss you eliminate iv but at the same time you increase the chances for iii. Every former iv will now be a iii and even a considerable number of trades that would have been winners will now hit the stop instead. You can easily ...

Odds of winning are constant: Using market bias AND stop loss

After playing around a bit it seems a bit buggy, it immediately finds a solution for the example problem but not for almost anything else i tried, not even for simple things with only 20 points and the curves it plots for individual solutions ...

This piece of software rocks! Finally a tool for perfect curve fitting! This may be of some use for eurusd H1, since this pair is showing extremely strong and stable cycles and autocorrelations since last September.

Wow! This one is... impressive.

can't this thing be completely rewritten as an indicator for mt4 to get rid of all the limiting and cumbersome excel stuff for better usability and compatibility?

The funny thing is, *sometimes* it is profiting just from these crazy and seemingly unpredictable movements. Today it went short for just 2 candles, catching half of the nfp move: image while the H1 version didn't have this luck: image

I heared some rumor that you can place buttons (and maybe also other GUI elements) directly on the chart and hopefully they will allow buttons to fire events that the script can react to. I didn't try it yet. Since end users (traders) don't have any ...

Is there a way to access the chart...

I once have managed to start a wxPython application as a separate thread from within an EA and had it communicate with each other but this was only an experiment i made while developing and debugging my Python bindings. I don't think this is the way ...

Is there a way to access the chart...

I'm not aware of any possibility to create any kind of non-modal UI (or any kind of useful UI at all) in metatrader4 without having to do complicated workarounds and ugly hacks like custom dlls that would directly access the windows API or some GUI ...

You can load it with 20 years if you want. It is not limited to a week. People have been writing software for over 60 years now. Many of them are already dead, many of them have long grey beards already (look at my avatar), but they all accumulated ...

how do I initialize an array in an indicator that is not a buffer?

You dont know what will eventually be needed in the future. Just make it an external parameter and give it your 20 bars as default value. * "640kB should be enough for everybody" * FAT16 * FAT32 (they didn't learn!) * Year 2000 problem * almost ...

how do I initialize an array in an indicator that is not a buffer?

No. Hardcoded limits, no matter how big, no matter for what, are the root of all evil in software design. Don't do it.
