I must have been unclear, I don't want to develop a system, I just wanted to see if indicator setups where giving signals that price action could not. Obvously I have made my position clear, but I thought it would be a useful excercise in comparing ...

Does your expert trade on interpolated data, or just off the bar opens?

Big Mt4 Bug

I'm saying let's evaluate some situations, try and get a feel for the different approaches.

Perhaps a better way of exploring this situation rather than splitting semantics, would be to post charts where there was some trade decision made on the basis of indicator TA, then we can discuss the price action on the chart and see we are ...

I think that the people who are making money with MA's are probably using good money mangement. Maybe I should clarify my point a bit... There is no doubt that sometimes a MA system will catch a big trend and everybody is happy, but in my experence ...

Why exactly do EMA crossover systems not work?

They don't work because past averages have nothing to do with future averages.

Why exactly do EMA crossover systems not work?

I understand indicators real good, traded and lost with them, wrote variations for metatrader, wrote experts until I was blue in the face. This is why I don't use them. No you can't backtest price action, but I know it works when I do live trading. ...

Finally Naked

Why people think that some arbitrary summation of past price levels indicates exhaustion or resistance is way beyond me, just look at the chart man! All indicators are just derivatives of price, why not just go to the source. I remember the feeling ...

Do errors appear in the experts tab? e.g. 'divide by zero'.

I have an indicator that doesn't appear..why?

already there....

They are all completely useless.

What's the use with RSI, STOCH, CCI?

This sort of system has been done to death, moving average systems just don't seem to work as EA's, sorry dude. If your friend is getting 90% then there is more to what he is doing then is in the description of the system.

Your getting warm...with all the mental energy that gets applied to trading on this forum it's suprising how little gets written about managing and closing trades.

"Exits are where the money is."

Two reasons, first they changed the tick modeling algorithm between 199 & 200, and secondly 201 downloads data from all over the place and tries to mix it all together giving wildly different results for different backtest runs, it's like herding ...

Backtest problems with MT4

Stop loss can't be the same as price.

What's wrong with this OrderSend()?

The trading signal (and it's inverse) is statistically insignificant and/or the money managment code has a far larger impact on the result than the signal.

Lost all faith in back tester

I think you are missing the bigger picture here, trading system results are a cumulation of signals & money management, reversing signals will not produce an inverse backtest result. Adding to this, as we all no doubt are aware, there are many ...

You got it right the first time OrderSend("USDJPY" etc.

Trading multiple pairs in a single EA

Totally agree, I look at the charts once a day. Got reamed on another thread for saying somebody was stupid for going long on the EURUSD last week, well duh!, take a look at the daily.

The Daily charts are KEY

They should rename the poll "most popular", becuase that's what it is, if this had been about a year ago, Vegas would have been the winner, 6 months ago it would have been Mouteki or whatever. Now it's SRDC, later it will be something else.
