I'm not a programmer at all, - page 8

By the way, here's a question. Since I don't know the capabilities of MT at all.

Which TFs are prescribed there? And is it possible to choose a non-standard TF? For example, 6 minutes, 18, 96?

If not, can we teach the platform? i.e. add this feature to it?

 

Korey, "It took seven minutes on the ninth trolleybus to get there" - are those the last words of the book?

If you cannot, is it possible to teach the platform?

There are some... It is possible to select non-standard ones, but what are you going to do afterwards?

The computer doesn't care, you take a minute chart as the basis and form any timeframe, if you just want to know the open slope of a non-standard bar. You can feed indicators with date from the array you have built yourself, i.e. it's that simple. But if you want to see these bars, there may be some difficulties. Someone has already done such a thing, there was a code here somewhere.

 

Fixed TF: M1 M5 M15 M30 H1 H4 D W M
Tick charts are missing.
It is one of the disadvantages of MT4 that is corrected with self-made software - ticks collectors. They exchange the accumulated historical data.
There are add-ons posted for TF recalculation, and subsequent display in MT-4, but I don't use them.

Convenience:
Accepted data, those already in the terminal, can be saved as a csv file by (essentially text) and then read into Excell.
I.e. strategy can be checked without programming by calculations in Excell tables.
There are also plug-ins for connecting to Matlab/Matcad. You can also trade from Matlab/Matcad and Excell.

MT has a "strategy tester" which simulates/animates data for only one instrument over history.
Testing on a single instrument is very advanced and is supported by private developments that are published.
Testing in the tester on M1 M5 periods gives incorrect results because the data is simulated,
and they do not reproduce the time characteristics.
All multicurrency in the tester are said not to be tested (I have not tried it myself), and they constantly complain about it.
There are clones of MT-4 made by individuals in Delphi.

 
Korey:

Testing in the tester on M1 M5 periods gives incorrect results because the data is modelled,
and they do not reproduce the time characteristics.

You are overdoing it. Testing on any timeframe gives the same result, the data is modeled everywhere and always based on a one-minute period. Except for the cases when the "fool himself" didn't upload the one-minute history.

The last time I read it was more than 20 years ago.
Can you find the author's version now? I'll try to compare them.

You're overreacting. Testing on any timeframe gives the same result, the data is modelled everywhere and always based on a minute period. Unless you are a "fool yourself" and have not downloaded the 1 minute history.

Here is the script

'Functions ObjectGetValue_ByCurrent .....Delta_ByCurrent .....Delta_ByTimeShift .....Delta_PerBar'

which if you watch the demo/real M1, M5 shows that the bars are not formed
If you observe the demo/real M1 and M5 it shows that the bars are not formed when the alarm clock sounds but only when the tick comes. If there is no tick - the bar does not open,
If you want to know how to check if the tick tick ticks, you need to know how to open the bar and it will not open or will not be displayed. (if the functions themselves are interesting, there are inaccuracies, corrections are waiting for publication)


It is clear that some of the grails will fall on this.


P.S. I forgot to add that the opening time of the bar is attributed to the late bar retroactively!!!

 

So the issue is easy to solve, which is good.

We don't need tick charts, but the fact that such a sparse set of TFs is used just confirms that I'm on the right track, and no one has gone there yet.

 
BTW, MT-4 has its own niche, it's only 3.5m long, compare with yours, you have 60M,
compare with Amnibroker under 200M, compare with tradestation....
The advantage of MT-4 is that it does not require the services of highly professional pogrammers in operation.
 

There was a profession: I don't remember the English word for it, but literally "knowledge fixers",
they're specialists in cybernetics who can communicate with a specialist in another profession,
like a medical doctor, or a broker.
The task of knowledge fixers is to formalise what has been passed down in the profession from age to age.
The subtlety is that the "shoemaker" cannot intelligibly explain how he sews,
A doctor cannot explain how he heals, and a trader cannot explain how he trades.
As soon as a trader tries to explain in public,
you get one book, two, three and so on until you run out.

So the tricky part of the knowledge fixer profession is not to read these books and not to listen to long explanations,
but to be able to ask those questions which will lead to the fixation of professional knowledge in the form of a product.
