I have been trying to figure out the best spot to use as a "Base Point." I think figuring this out is crucial to the proper use of this indicator because the results are drastically different depending on that variable. Now, clearly there is no ...

Thanks for your reply, PipMasterMik. Large step sizes are indeed a good idea. I have not yet tried auto-optimization but I had a feeling that it would have results similar to what you described. Here is an idea that I've had for a while... ...

Optimization, statistics, and avoidance of curve fitting

Here is a crude script I hastily made to check if closing your real historic orders at levels produced by handover's SR indy would have been profitable. (You need actual trades on an account; it won't work in backtesting because it is a script.) I ...

Recent SR indicator

Yup exactly. I'm trying to get around referencing an index buffer through iCustom, but I can't figure out how else to get it to generate objects (rectangle SRs) in back testing. Its not a problem if there is a live chart; then I can just attach it ...

Recent SR indicator

I could be misunderstanding some fundamental aspect of index buffers, but wouldn't the following example work? : init() { SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_NONE); SetIndexBuffer(0,ExtBuffer1); SetIndexEmptyValue(0,EMPTY_VALUE); ... } start() { ... ExtBuffer1[0] ...

Well, regarding what you said about there being only 8 index buffers... I don't see why you would need more than that, even if you have more resistance levels. Your indicator already has the ability to shift backward in time via the HistoricalShift ...

Is there an easy way to access the levels with an EA? Are the positions stored in an index buffer or would I have to use ObjectGet()? P.S This is definitely one of my favorite SR indicators! It is very dynamic/adaptable. I can't wait for the next ...

Recent SR indicator

Have you tested your theory by optimizing for one range of time (ex, June-July) and testing on the next range (July-August)? I have seen this type of process fail repeatedly and have never seen it succeed; although technically for some EAs it might. ...

Optimization, statistics, and avoidance of curve fitting

This may be a nonsensical question but I'll ask anyway... Is it possible to adjust the weight of each currency based on the cost of a pip?

How powerful is it? According to RackCloud's website, 1 server with 4GB of RAM is $233.60 per month! Is this absurdly expensive or am I missing something? I can probably BUY a 4GB computer for that price.

Bulk optimization: Need cloud computing or powerful server

Well, fx13, I am having great success with my broker right now. My broker lets me use microlots (0.01), so I have enough money to cover my trades. I would love to put some more money into my live account though, because then I could safely increase ...
