Automated Trading Championship 2007 - page 7

 

I just re-downloaded EURUSD M1 data in Build 210 History Center. Previous missing 2007.09.04 data is now visible. Although I now have noticed this new data gap where data histiory jumps from 2007.09.07 to 2007.09.13.

2007.09.07,22:58,1.3767,1.3767,1.3765,1.3765,3
2007.09.07,22:59,1.3767,1.3768,1.3767,1.3767,5
2007.09.13,17:32,1.3886,1.3887,1.3886,1.3887,2
2007.09.13,17:33,1.3886,1.3886,1.3886,1.3886,1

confusing !!

Do youi still want me to email EA ?

 
On 2007.09.07 14:30 (MetaQuotes contest demo server time), US Nonfarm Payroll number was dramatic downside surprise, USD tanked, but the spread on GBP/USD in my temporary contest account did not change from 3 pips. During contest, will spread stay constant 3 pips? If not, how much can spread on GBP/USD be expected to change during news release?
 
MQF:
Opps,

The 10 billion system, and its only till May, 2005 , what would it have been if it back tested till 2007. 7.28 ?
The modeling quality says it 90% so I must have a pretty good trading system.

Any one who can beat me in producing this numbers in MT 4?


Very Joking and Kiding :D

Very strange. I cannot reproduce this problem. Try to copy hst files without gap.

No. Before we must provide correct data
 

I deleted all hst and fxt files. Then downloaded data in History Center. It did not correct the gap as reported. I checked Build 209 EURUSD M1 History Center data in another MetaQuotes Demo and no visible gaps. I can copy these good files to Build 210 and I'm quite sure they will work OK.

It is confusing that you can not duplicate this gap phenomenon. Should I re-install Build 210 ? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

1 At the start of the competition what will be the difference in hours between the returned value of TimeLocal() function and time GMT

2 DST ends last Sunday in October?

Thanking you in advance.

 
Hello MQF,

Can you send me a copy of this EA? He would not be for championship dispute.

My email is: edudapaz@bol.com.br

Congratulações,

Stringo, I have ATC 2007 contest demo and another MetaQuotes Demo running both on same server. Both demos have gaps in EURUSD M1 History Center data. The first reported gap in this thread was after my download of History data on 2007.09.07:

2007.08.31,22:58,1.3626,1.3628,1.3626,1.3627,4
2007.08.31,22:59,1.3628,1.3628,1.3627,1.3628,3
2007.09.05,13:37,1.3584,1.3584,1.3584,1.3584,1
2007.09.05,13:38,1.3585,1.3586,1.3585,1.3585,3

On 2007.09.13, I re-downloaded data in the History Center and it corrected the above gap, but produced another gap at:

2007.09.07,22:58,1.3767,1.3767,1.3765,1.3765,3
2007.09.07,22:59,1.3767,1.3768,1.3767,1.3767,5
2007.09.13,17:32,1.3886,1.3887,1.3886,1.3887,2
2007.09.13,17:33,1.3886,1.3886,1.3886,1.3886,1

I was going to copy .hst file from Build 209 Contest Demo to Build 210 standard demo, but I found a gap in this data file.

Would it be possible for MetaQuotes to have a url location that has validated .hst files to download ?

 

What this means :

The minimum trade size is 0.1 lot, the maximum one is 5 lots with the step of 0. 1 lot for each order.

 
Although I have notice this data gap were history is not there at all GBPUSD M1 and the ordermodyfy error 1 appears in the test
