Alex It's going to take time to absorb your post but a couple of things I don't understand. By the 4th wager my understanding is that by the bet progression, the wager would be about .2. I don't really understand why your wager stalled at .13. ...

Shawn, I had a look at your set file. It looks as though the inputs originated from an old set file because the captions do not align with the inputs. I have enclosed an updated set file with your inputs. Whenever you embark on a new strategy, it's ...

There is provision to close and reverse trades by setting TradeClosureMode to 1. If all conditions are satisfied for a sell signal with a buy trade on, the trade will be closed and a reversal trade will take place. In your situation if you are using ...

Yes EmaCross and EMAPrice are 2 different strategies.

There is a very simple answer to your problem. You are using EMA cross and MACD cross both within MaxBarsAgo = 1. That is they have to occur simultaneously. You just need to extend the MaxBarsAgo in one of the scenarios out to say 5.

I have now incorporated the suggestion from Post #641 to include an option to progressively decrease the value of the stop loss as a trade moves further into profit. This may alleviate concerns of a good trade going bad and being hit by a trailing ...

The concept of optimization is running through a series of possible values to find the best combination of values for example for EUR running an optimization of SL and TP may produce best result SL=60 and TP=100, AUD may be 40 and 75. Whilst RSI ...

Alex, I looked at both set files and they looked identical. Also I couldn't understand that the ticked items which I presume were the optimizations, had values in Column 1 "Value" which were outside the range of the optimization values. for example ...

Yes provided UseTrailingStopLoss = 1 which is the default anyway. SetStopLossToBreakEven = 0 disables any breakeven setting (default). If that number is 10 for example, Stop Loss will be set to breakeven at +10 pips. As long as the ...

I looked at your inputs and noticed you had MACD set a 12,19,1. That means the signal line is the same as the MACD line. After you complete your optimization you need to double click the set of results that you wish to use, to transfer them into the ...

Unfortunately the major problem is that this is simply a major rewrite and I would not undertake this out of curiousity. I am concerned by the statement "run the simulator with a large enough balance to avoid problems associated with multiple open ...

On looking at the code, I see an error relating with the PrevPrice variable in that I need extra PrevPrice2 & 3 variables. Until I correct this in the next build, could you kindly substitute the following code in the matching place. ...

When the set stop loss to breakeven is set, the trailing stop loss is deactivated until the profit is beyond the value of the trailing stop loss. In other words the worst scenario will be breakeven (I've added a couple of dollars intentionally). The ...

Shawn, I had a look at your set file and there seems to be some strange inputs (Fig.1). I have tidied them up (Fig. 2) and enhanced them (Fig.3). It's an interesting concept using MACD main zero cross with a divergence filter. The performance can ...

That back test was done using the opening price model which provides for fast optimization. All of my optimizations are done using that model, As I have mentioned previously you confirm the results with tick data. In that case the curve has turned ...

Thanks for the input Alex. It would be great if you could attach your .set files. If you drag the blue title bar of the Tester, you can make that window float to give greater definition. (even onto another monitor). The final image is just a capture ...
