Hello
Which timeframe do you use?
Hello Tigersoft
Standard preset of AIS2 Trading Robot's main timeframe is M15.
In next modification AIS2 Trading Robot will have direct timeframe control.

Hi AIS, I'm trying to do a back-test but seems like it is not placing any orders at all. I'm sure I'm following the correct procedure mentioned in the list of instructions. Don't know what else needs to be done. Is back-testing possible ? Please suggest.
Thank you for your prompt response. I have tried depositing 10,000 USD but it still does not place any orders. Tried to do a back-testing since Jan-2006 till date, no orders placed. Please help.
If you have any back-testing results that you can share with us that will be good.
Another probable reason is tester caches corruption.
Just delete "../tester" folder and rerun terminal.

Ultimate Certainty: Automatic Trading Concept of AIS Series Software
Content:
1. Introduction
2. Fundamentals and core principles
3. Implementation samples
4. Conclusion
1. Introduction
1.1. Automatic trading is a rapidly growing field of financial industry.
1.2. Today there is wide spectrum of approaches to creating automatic trading systems.
1.3. Main purpose of this article is to clarify underlying concept of following MQL4 software products:
1.3.1. AIS Trading Robots;
1.3.2. AIS Indicators.
1.4. This article is addressed to the automatic trading system developers.
1.5. Notion "trading systems" means marginal trading systems for MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal.
2. Fundamentals and core principles
2.1. Concept of AIS series software is Ultimate Certainty.
2.2. Ultimate Certainty means highest quality of preparation for decision making and execution.
2.3. Fundamentals of Ultimate Certainty Concept are:
2.3.1. automatic trading system functional model:
2.3.1.1. data feeding,
2.3.1.2. data processing,
2.3.1.3. decision making,
2.3.1.4. execution;
2.3.2. marginal trading model:
2.3.2.1. target of the activity is capital gain by price fluctuations exploiting;
2.3.2.2. market risk is extremely high due to following conditions:
2.3.2.2.1. directions of fluctuations are equiprobable,
2.3.2.2.2. rate of fluctuations is very high,
2.3.2.2.3. amplitude of fluctuations has high speed of growth;
2.3.2.3. return = sum of trade profits - sum of trade losses;
2.3.2.4. trade losses are strictly controlled values;
2.3.3. market risk model:
2.3.3.1. market risk, that thereafter is denoted "risk", is threat of loss due to price fluctuations;
2.3.3.2. main risk evaluation unit is monetary unit;
2.3.3.3. risk evaluation formula:
2.3.3.3.1. risk of single trade = estimate of loss probabilty x estimate of loss value,
2.3.3.3.2. estimate of loss probabilty = loss trades / total trades,
2.3.3.3.3. estimate of loss value = distance between open price and stop-level x order size;
2.3.4. risk management model:
2.3.4.1. deposit, that is account equity, is sum of two parts:
2.3.4.1.1. capital,
2.3.4.1.2. reserve for eventual losses, or simply "deposit reserve";
2.3.4.2. capital size and deposit reserve size are fixed shares of deposit;
2.3.4.3. capital is margin facility;
2.3.4.4. deposit reserve is trade losses compensation facility;
2.3.4.5. deposit reserve size must be set by investor;
2.3.4.6. trade losses decrease deposit reserve size;
2.3.4.7. in case of deposit reserve exhausting system activity is stopped;
2.3.4.8. trade profits increase deposit reserve size;
2.3.4.9. in case of deposit reserve filling, capital and deposit values are enlarging;
2.3.4.10. for each trade fixed share of deposit reserve, that is order reserve, is assigning,
2.3.4.11. single trade risk is limited by order reserve value according to following algorithm:
2.3.4.11.1. create fixed size order reserve,
2.3.4.11.2. define price drawdown limit for the single trade,
2.3.4.11.3. compute order size limit for given order reserve and price drawdown limit,
2.3.4.11.4. compute maximal allowed order size for the obtained order size limit;
2.3.4.12. hence, the risk management methods defend investor's capital from possible losses.
2.4. Core principles of Ultimate Certainty Concept are:
2.4.1. maximum information principle;
2.4.2. total control principle.
2.5. Maximum information principle:
2.5.1. means that decision making must be based on maximum available information;
2.5.2. is aimed to increasing "profit trades / loss trades" ratio;
2.5.3. is contained in set of data feeding and data processing algorithms.
2.6. Total control principle:
2.6.1. means that accepted decisions must have highest level of execution reliability;
2.6.2. is aimed to improve and enhance methods of control;
2.6.3. is contained in set of following algorithms:
2.6.3.1. trading system and human interaction;
2.6.3.1. trading system and external control software interaction;
2.6.3.2. trading system modules interaction.
3. Implementation samples

3.1.4. clarification of Sample 1 "External control":
3.1.4.1. this techinque is total control principle implementation;
3.1.4.2. essence of this one is to give external control via global variables of terminal;
3.1.4.2.1. "avi.TradingFlag" variable controls trading module activity permission;
3.1.4.2.2. "avs.SetupTrading" variable is the name of global variable;
3.1.4.2.3. in lines 316 and 320 "avi.TradingFlag" value depends on the global variable value;
3.1.4.2.4. the global variable is accessible for human trader or external MQL4 program;
3.1.4.2.5. hence, "avs.SetupTrading" variable is a system control interface;
3.1.5. demonstration of Sample 1 "External control":
3.1.5.1. create "ACONTROL.MQ4" file with below stated content;
3.1.5.1. copy "ACONTROL.MQ4" file to ".../experts/indicators" folder;
3.1.5.2. compile "ACONTROL.MQ4" file;
3.1.5.3. find "ACONTROL" item in "Custom Indicator" list;
3.1.5.4. drag-and-drop it on the chart with AIS2 Trading Robot: Modification AIS20004;
3.1.5.5. change of following trading robot's parameters will start:
3.1.5.5.1. order limit size "Order Limit",
