I don't see the EA trading on the demo.

Why doesn't it trade?

I put on the tester for 2011 with visualisation, the eye is slowly falling out, with such a ratio of profitable and losing trades, you can safely trade with a lot of 0.2, and even better to put a lot that counts in the percentage of risk from the deposit and pick up the percentage ...

My lot is 0.2 and I will see what it will show at the end of the test.

you call 10 years from 10,000 to get 16,000 profit, it's ridiculous.
And if in 10 years with $1,000,000 - $1,600,000.......
 

Test for 2011

Pavel Smirnov I'm shocked, thanks for the idea!

 
Question, 18 hours in the settings, what time is that?

18 hours is CET!

The Expert Advisor was developed and tested on Alpari quotes. They changed the time to EET in 2011, so for Alpari you need to set 17 hours.

Yes, there are years when an Expert Advisor trades for 6 months without a losing trade. If you optimise it, you can get much better results.

The EA's problem is low profit. That is, you need to invest a lot of money to get a significant profit. The larger the deposit, the bigger the lot you can use.

And if you go from $1,000,000 to $1,600,000 in 10 years........

such money is better invested in something tangible, not in the stock market, and so on a side note:

1. You can earn more in 10 years on the swap))))

2. for 10 years you will lose more than you earn + inflation and other nonsense.

3. for 10 years to increase by 1.6 times, it's a horror what an illiterate money manager and from here we go back to the first point or the first line.

4. it is much more competent to distribute the money to different advisors and they will make a total of 1600000 from 1000000 - 1600000, someone will lose, and someone will increase the balance 100 times as at the championship.

this is my opinion

this is my opinion.

Of course, in 10 years even index funds with low portfolio turnover would bring twice as much, but I think the EA was posted not as a "workhorse", but as an example of a simple EA for beginners to understand the mysterious world of MQl (which, by the way, follows from the accompaniment), so the initiator of the topic, in my opinion, in any case, should be thanked.
 
what about for 6 digit prices? what do we need to change?

Try to multiply by 10 the values of TakeProfit, StopLoss and delta input parameters of the 5-digit case.
