trail type 4 - breakeven after 18pip to BE+1

My piece of code for breakeven works fine.

int i;

double BP=Breakeven*Point;

for(i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)

{

OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber)

{

if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol())

{

if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)

{

if(OrderStopLoss()<OrderOpenPrice())

{

if(Breakeven>0)

{

if((Bid-OrderOpenPrice())>BP)

{

OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()+1*Point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Yellow);

}

}

}

}

}

}

}

I use the same piece for sell (swap conditions and it works fine)

It works every tick.

I'll be grateful if you posted here how you open positions with DIN + indicator confirmation instead of using a buy-stop/sell-stop.

 
frantacech:
yes, this only demo. But why ea open buy when isakas is sell.

Backesting with Strategy Tester is big joke!!! Maybe step to Tradestation.

And next, I have trail type 4 - breakeven after 18pip to BE+1 and locking.

See picture, dont work....

This is exactly, the same thing happened to me

I have an idea, how about if we switch the buy to sell and sell to buy order in EA MQL?

No, I think, this EA is excellent base. But need modify entry end exit rules.

I suggest the solution...

First... repair rules for entry by MiniMe for pure correct open trade at first candle. uncomplicated this.

Sencond... after working ok correct pure isakas, make modify for any features, any indicators etc.

STEP BY STEP!

I dont respect any backtest result, dont belive mq4 strategy tester!!! This working only for OHLC data, if test ticks data, result is scifi. Bad or best...not real.

SIMPLY!!!

HOPELESS, I switch to manual ISAKAS or manual Dolly.

AND COOL BUY in half fallou down candle. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Once again I see the same bs. The trade was opened for buy because the candles before the trade was opened had all indicators say BUY. The Hours to trade may also influence the tiem of trades causing orders to be placed long after a valid signal.

You are also running on 15 minute timeframe. The EA was designed to run on 30 minute timeframe.

Backtest shows possible 30% drawdown from this ea. In my opinion it will not work over the long run.

THIS IS MY LAST POST TO THIS GROUP.

I have better things to do with my time than support a group that does not understand how EAs work.

Maybe you will find another programmer to take over the coding.

I wish you all good luck with this system.

Sorry Robert, I dont displease you.

Please, I am sorry, if my text displease you!!

I am telling you EXCELENT BASE. Thats all.

I don't think that the will find better programmer. Everything what saw, saw only to the helped create still better ea. Yes, I was trying M15, if it won't help force EA open up earlier on signal. Unrevenged.

I would like simply only reach of what to business opened on big dot.

 

Hi, Robert.

In my view you should not leave the thread. If you're not blind you must have observed that frantacech would not like to offend you.

Quite the opposite. He tries to express his ideas in his best way possible in order to help programmers/coders to focus on bottom lines and finally develop the greatest EA to share...

I hope you reconsider your part in being here for everybodys benefit.

Don't you?

If not, thanks very much for what you have done,

god bless you and may pips go with ye.

alan.

I've been testing an expert (breakout expert with different rules) on a demo account and then I used a backtest to compare results.

Since I've skipped quite a few days, results were different.

Then I compared opened orders on demo and backtest.

They were the same except for slippage - 1-3 pips difference on some deals. Deals opened at the same time, same place.

If you test a breakout strategy, you can rely on a backtest to see if it actually makes sense.

If you test a breakout strategy on demo acc, you see if it actually works.

If you put money in it and it doesn't work any more... maybe you spent too much time testing?

In any case I've written a piece of code to make your EA move the stop to breakeven, it works perfectly. If you want, you can use pieces of that code for opening positions. I can write you a piece that makes you not hedge, if you don't want to have buys and sells at the same time. There is a problem with it though. It works only if your buy or sell which you want to keep has already its stop higher than breakeven (but you can remove that condition, so it only checks if you have buys or sells and if you do, you'll not have any more sells or buys).

Anyone interested?

Oh and please - I'd love to know who actually codes EAs here so I won't post code everywhere but will PM its pieces to keep the thread clear. If you code the EA or are interested in those code pieces, feel free to PM me!

Oh and one more thing - there isn't a single system (haven't heard of one) which trades without loss. If you want one, cook yourself a grail if not, get used to having loss. If your EA shows 30% drawdown on a backtest then I'll disappoint you - my best EA gives me 50-60% drawdown on 2,5 years of backtest. But its quite profitable. I am writing a new EA because the most profitable EA I've seen so far gives 98% drawdown, while managing to make 9 millions profit in the end...

Yep, its based on breakouts (but 98% is not good for me, neither is 50-60%). Yep, it works. Yep, it makes good profit in the long run but so far it has almost erased my demo account, leaving me with 3k out of 10k...

Since everyone is silent, please tell me:

Do you have an entry filter?

What is it?

Do you have an exit signal?

What is it?

How do you use indicator's values in the EAs?

Maybe we should write the indicators into the EA? No need to write everything, just calculations of the values for filters, so that the EA would be self-contained.

 

Learning MQL

I still don’t believe in backtests, if they were any good how come a system like 10point3 with good backtests lose money? Anyhow to be fair backtests gives a good idea if the system has a future or not, it’s a matter of opinion and it’s a free thread so everyone can express his own ideas.

Robert is a skilled programmer maybe our questions were kind of silly to someone with his experience. I just hope he take that into his consideration that we lack the programming experience, that’s why I started a flaw chart to translate our ideas to something easy for a programmer to apply instead of having multiplies ideas and confuse the programmer.

Like everybody else I hope Robert stay.

Now since we have only Shinigami working on the EA maybe it’s time for us to help in coding this EA, and start talking the same language.

For that I am putting some links where someone can start learning about MQL language.

I am sorry to say that I will be away for a while to finish my thesis and graduates studies, but I will check on this thread from time to time

And I will try to learn the MQL as well.

Good luck, and try to help each other

Let me thank you MiniMe for your kind comments, completelly agree. Hopefully Shinigami is strong enough to sustain any touchy things over here and will continue with his great work... I humbly consider guys from these threads as mates who want to push all ideas to reality. Am I right? I hope so, then looking for having you MiniMe here soon and wish ye success with your studies as well!!!

Regards,

alan

 

how did you test 10point3? it keeps loosing money on backtest no matter what! how did you get it making profits???
