Discussion of article "Mini Market Emulator or Manual Strategy Tester"

New comment
 

New article Mini Market Emulator or Manual Strategy Tester has been published:

Mini Market Emulator is an indicator designed for partial emulation of work in the terminal. Presumably, it can be used to test "manual" strategies of market analysis and trading.

Here are the main actions that can be performed by the emulator.

  1. Only two orders in different directions can be placed: buy and sell. It also supports setting of stop loss and take profit before setting the order and its volume. Once the order is placed, it can be modified, and its stop levels can be dragged.
  2. There are only seven modeling speeds, they can be divided into three groups. The first is "jewelry", it involves modeling based on generation of ticks from the data of minute timeframe, almost like in the Strategy Tester. The second one considers the minute data, builds without generation (this mode is faster but less accurate). The third mode is the fastest: one candle per second is built, regardless of the timeframe.
  3. The current trading information is provided: profit, number of points and volume. The data are given for the current and past orders, as well as the general trade from the beginning of emulation.
  4. All standard graphical objects present in the terminal are available.
  5. All standard timeframes are supported (switched by the buttons of the terminal panel).

Sounds like a good idea! The only thing missing is the ability to rewind. For manual trading, rewinding is a super thing.

I have always wondered why the standard tester does not have a special mode with this feature.

 

The best trading emulator at the moment is the quadruple tester. After launching a simple trading panel, you can do whatever your heart desires.

You can add any indicators, including custom indicators and graphical constructions. Plus, at the end you will get a detailed trading report.

Well, it seems that the panels have already worked in MT5 tester - events are not supported yet, but you can monitor the state of objects. And indicators can be added to the template.

 

Rewinding is a difficult thing to do. But saving the situation is easy. Why is there no saving of the trading situation in the tester or in manual panels for the tester?!

Imagine that you have traded something in the tester through the panel. I saved it and exited. Then came back and loaded the situation and continued. Or you continued, but not the way you wanted. Then downloaded again and tried again.

Can you add any indicators from the navigator and set up graphical constructions in the MT5 tester after its launch?

 

Dimitri, I really like your idea. Thanks for the article. :)

 
Igor Volodin:

Can you in the MT5 tester after its launch throw any indicators from the navigator and set up graphical constructions?

For now it seems that you can't do that (I wrote that indicators should be added to the template). But it is still possible to do some things. See the discussion here:
