Advice: None of my EAs are miracle products capable of predicting the market. Instead, they are honest, well-coded expert advisors designed to win more than they lose. They do not employ martingale or grid strategies, which means their results won't consistently show an upward profit curve; there may be ups and downs. Success with them requires patience and discipline. My general recommendation is to test all the provided set files in your strategy tester. If you discover any interesting results, consider making a purchase. I regularly optimize all my EAs and release new set files twice a year. Additionally, at the end of each month, I assess the performance of all the provided set files and offer new suggestions based on the symbols that have performed the best over the last 2-3 months. I advise you to trade only with the best-performing set files, limiting your risk to 0.5% or 1% per symbol, rather than using all of them.

How to Download the Matrix Arrow EA MT5 Demo Version and Test it in the MT5 Strategy Tester

Please don't forget that you will need to download the Matrix Arrow Indicator MT5 demo version too, in order to test the Matrix Arrow EA. Below is the video guide for the testing of the Matrix Arrow EA and further down the step by step instructions for that procedure.

1. Open the Market tab of your MT4/5 terminal (1). Type in the search area: matrix arrow (2) and the Matrix Arrow Indicator MT4/5 & Matrix Arrow EA MT4/5 will come up in the results. Click on the Matrix Arrow Indicator (3) to open the product's page.

2. Click the Download Demo button (4) of the Matrix Arrow Indicator, to download the demo version in your Market Indicator's folder.

3. Go back by clicking the little grey arrow in the upper left corner of the Market tab window and click on the Matrix Arrow EA MT4/5 this time (5).

4. Click the Download Demo button (6) of the Matrix Arrow EA MT4/5 to download the demo version of the EA in your Market Expert's folder.

5. Open the MT4/5 >> View >> Strategy Tester of your MT4/5 terminal and select the Matrix Arrow EA MT4/5 from your Market folder to test it (7).

6. Select the desired instrument that you will test (8), the timeframe (9), the time period for your test (10) and the test account balance and leverage (11).

7. Right click the Load option on the Inputs tab of the Strategy Tester and load the appropriate set file (12), located in the product's description page and at the bottom of this page too.

8. Adjust the trading hours to fit your broker's server time (13), because the provided set files are optimized in ICMarkets Raw Spread GMT+3 (in the summer and GMT+2 in the winter) accounts. If your broker is GMT+3 (in the summer) you do not need to change anything. Then click the Start button on the bottom right corner of the Strategy Tester and your test will begin (14).

You can check the server time of your broker in the MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch window and if your broker is not GMT+3 (in the summer and GMT+2 in the winter) you need to adjust the trading hours of all provided set files to fit your broker. If for example your broker's server time is GMT+0 (in the summer), you need to adjust all the trading hours 3 hours back, as below:

Start Hour: 12

Start Minutes: 00

End Hour: 22

End Minutes: 50

you need to change it to:

Start Hour: 9

Start Minutes: 00

End Hour: 19

End Minutes: 50

Good morning.

I tried your EA and report some doubts, which I hope you can solve in order to be able, if it works well, to buy the signal and the Robot.

I performed the demo test (EURUSD, H1), setting all the parameters as reported in the guide.

1) Period of simulation

2) Other settings, load from your file (I entered the start and end time in agreement with my XM broker)

I started the robot simulation, but after many minutes (about 10) I stopped it as the time needed was really excessive.

I report the last operations of the simulation, stopped because it was really too long in time.

The behavior of the robot was this below.

Having said that, after three months of working the robot in simulation on already known data, I would like to know if it is normal or if I have set some parameter wrong.

Many thanks!

Hello Massimo, your trading hours are wrong. Tell me please the GMT server time of your broker to give you the correct trading hours. You can check the server time in the Marketwatch window.

Hello,

XAUUSD set file gives losses in the last 2-3 months test.

For the Matrix Arrow EA MT4/5 my current recommendation is to test/trade only these set files EURJPY, GBPUSD, JP225, NZDJPY, USDCAD, USTEC/NASDAQ with a low 0.5% to 1% risk per trade.
