But if nothing happens on the first tick due to some circumstances, it will lose all the others. Is there an option so that it makes calculations up to a certain point and then goes into wait mode for the next candle?

alexhammer:

I don't think dzhini wanted exactly what you are suggesting. You are proposing to work on opening prices, while he wants to work on ticks, but not more than one trade within one bar.

You have to use the KimIV function to do this, and I suggest you think about how to use it and decide for yourself.

The KimIV function should be used for this, and I suggest you think about how to use it.

hello all

I am new to mts programming

I have a good Expert Advisor that makes 14 000 deposits

after that it starts to lose

I changed the maximum drawdown parameter to 14 000 and it does not lose 22 000

Thanks in advance

without timely optimisation of input parameters everything pours out sooner or later... for there is nothing "eternal" but true values... :-))) the market changes from time to time...
