ok looking at that. :)

EMA('EURUSD',M10,31) - An exponential moving average;

Stochastic('EURUSD',M10,8,3,3) - Stochastic oscillator;

EMA('EURUSD',H1,24) - An exponential moving average from another timeframe to confirm the first EMA;

Stochastic('EURJPY',H4,8,3,3) - Stochastic oscillator from another symbol and timeframe to confirm the first one;

IntradayTimeFilter – A time filter, which reveals the efficiency of all other signals during certain hours and days of the week.

why is the stochastic on eur/jpy ?   :/

ok new question please :/ once you have used the wizard to make a programme how do you change the parameters on it ? I can not see any way to do it apart from redo from scratch or go right into the code directly :/ I see it goes to mt5 main and gives you some options in statergy test inputs ..if I can change there does it save to the main programme ?

[plodder]

good morning mtl people :)

[plodder]

I think I just broke the mt test programme tried a 7 year back test and it is stuck / not working :/ oops

[plodder]

2010-2018 slow and painfull death of $3000 to $83.89 ugggg :/

[plodder]

how do I add an indicator into an EA I've already made to retest please ?

also in mt5 inputs what is the difference between putting H12 or daily ? I noticed that if I changed from H12 to daily my profits went up a little but my gross loss went down by a lot :/

[plodder]

how do I reduce my holding period please anyone ?

[plodder]

1. plodder: :/ once you have used the wizard to make a programme how do you change the parameters on it ? I can not see any way to do it apart from redo from scratch or go right into the code directly :

   You start coding.

   EA builder, EATree, fxDreema, FxPro, Quant, Visual Trader Studio MQL5 Wizard, etc. are all the same. You will get something quick, but then you will spend a much longer time trying to get it right, than if you learned the language up front, and then just wrote it.

   • Since you haven't learned MQL4/5, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate.
     If we tell you what you need, you can't code it.
     If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
     We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds of lines of code. You are essentially going to be on your own.

   • EA builder makes bad code counting up while closing multiple orders.
     EA builder makes bad code Bars is unreliable (max bars on chart) volume is unreliable (miss ticks) Always use time. New candle - MQL4 forum
     EA builder makes bad code, not adjusting for 4/5 digit brokers, TP/SL and slippage.
     EA builder makes bad code, not adjusting for ECN brokers. (pre-Build 500)
     EA builder makes bad code, not checking return codes.
     EATree uses objects on chart to save values - not persistent storage (files or GV+Flush.) No recovery (crash/power failure.)

   Do you really expect an answer? We can't see your broken code. There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked.

   Don't try do that. There are no buffers, no IndicatorCounted() or prev_calculated. No way to know if older bars have changed or been added (history update.)
   Just get the value(s) of the indicator(s) into the EA and do what you want with it.
   You should encapsulate your iCustom calls to make your code self-documenting.

   Change your strategy or your settings. Do you really expect an answer?

7. Stop wasting our time with your moronic posts. learn to code or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.
   We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
