Strategy Testing with a manual System

New comment
 

I have a normal System, which I want to back check. See what the drawdown is etc.

I want to go back in history and make a list of trades.

The biggest condition is time. I want to do a single trade every day, at the about the same time +- 2 Hours.

So, I will have a .csv file, with |Date&Time|Currency pair|Buy/Sell|Lotsize|Take Profit|

I did about a week and it is pretty loborius.

I need an advisor that will execute the trade, as per the time specified. Is there something available?

 

not unless you write one - advisors work according to system it written for, not work on any system.

there is a place that generates advisors by asking you questions. you need search this forum and/or google it.

that is non-coder way to do what you want and also if coder, maybe can dive into generated source and mod as need, yes?

ok, i see here is link for advisor maker tools

.

ahh... found it Expert Advisor Builder for MetaTrader 4

 
What I will do is create 2 files.
#1 With a string of all the times & Take Profits.
#2 With the just date&time to execute next trade. This will be 1 long string with delimiters.

IF tester time>time in File #2.

Get the data from the string (Lotsize & T/P) & execute trade

Write remaining string back to the file & change datetime file to next trade time.

I can then have the strategy tester plot all the trades I have made theoretically.
