Andrey Khatimlianskii:

I think the ideal solution would be to open another account. Let the old one work as it is, and let the new one demonstrate new possibilities.

unfortunately, there will be no perfect solution, as far as the issue of making money is concerned - it does not matter that this signal in addition to the s article

imho, a lot of money is the ideal solution, and all other solutions will be half-hearted.

SZY: well and in addition.... winners are not judged? ----> can you half-win? ----> is it possible to provide half of the proof of your rightness? - let the author make a decision, which will have more profit in the future in the end.

The monitored account acted as a test case in the creation of the interactive trade report - in the trailer.

Hello fxsaber,

I think that 109% in the first month speaks for itself and sounds very interesting.

But somehow I totally lack the approach to understand your publication.

In order to understand the content of your publication, it might help to get to know your motivation as a first step:

So please allow me to ask you the following questions:

Did you go to all this trouble with the article because ... :

1. ... because you want to sell an indicator or EA? Then I would realise why I don't understand anything - because it's secret.

2 ..., or because you are a philanthropist and want to give valuable advice to mankind?

3. ... because you want to be admired?

4. anything else

I look forward to your answer. greetings Harald

On investment accounts I use (I ask someone to run) this script for preliminary assessment of trading conditions.

// Writes the slippage of the take slips to the file.

The file does not contain any identifying data, so you can safely share it. The rightmost column is the values of take slippage in pips.

EURCHF.rann SELL 0.05 +1
EURCHF.rann SELL 0.05 +1
EURCHF.rann SELL 0.05 0
EURCHF.rann SELL 0.05 0

If there are negative values, it is bad.

This is how you can quickly evaluate your trading conditions if you have a trading history.

I do not have enough willpower to make trading tools only for myself. When I share them, I must clearly articulate my results and should bring them into a convenient state. It helps me

I also receive feedback in the form of error messages, new ideas and suggestions. Interested parties contact me and sometimes give useful information.

I have no desire to write a sequel at all. So I decided to take "help from the audience". Is it a good practice to make changes to the TC locked to the article? The situation is somewhat non-standard, so I am interested in an outside opinion.

The question sounds more correctly to me as follows - whether the EA needs to be re-optimised during trading. For me, yes, it is necessary. Optimisation before trading will always be short-lived. The second question is whether the optimisation should be built inside the EA, or it is more correct to do it externally and then change the parameters. Optimisation by symbols is a rare and not a bad idea in itself. The question is to determine the parameters and conditions when profitable symbols will be absent, which would be in time to close). And so, yes, and it would be good to pull out parameters to track when overoptimisation is needed. About the condition of using only involved funds is written above. Kudos to the author.

Where is the EA or source code?

The article has all the answers to your questions.

I hope the translation of the article into English is good enough.

Terminological clarification of the article.

Unlike a trading terminal, trading account monitoring services have to collect data simultaneously from a huge number of brokers (and account types) and platforms, which technically differ quite a lot. On some trading servers the same symbol can be quoted with four decimal places, on others - with five, on others - with six.

Therefore, for uniformity and unambiguous interpretation of the generated reports, these services have to accept clear values of pips and points for each trading symbol.

For example, for EURCHF one pip/point in the report of one service can be equal to 0.0001/0.0001, for another service - 0.00001/0.0001, for the third - 0.00001/0.00001. The main thing is that the reports of one service always show the same units, regardless of the settings of trading servers.

In MT5-Tester, pips/points (terms used by the developers) are always equal to the SYMBOL_POINT value. And this value is not only able to float from server to server, but can even be set by the user in custom symbols.

In the article, the word "Scratch" is the defining word. It means that the most minimal price movements are caught. The research was conducted on custom symbols. In this case a pip for EURCHF is equal to 0.00001.

It is interesting not only "the most minimal price movements", but also the total (including minimal) durations of these movements...
