[Aleksey Vyazmikin]

Vladimir Karputov:

I'll make it like this for now:Ivan version "1.003":

• Logic to set Stop Loss level:
• there is a minimum indentation - 50 old mode points.
• Stopp Loss takes the value of iMA(36) MODE_SMMA on zero bar (the averaging period is written in the input parameters).
• if the Stop Loss level is closer to the current price than the minimum slope, the position opening will not take place
• Virtual Stop Loss has been replaced by trailing positions.

The work is boiling - good!

However, I can't view the work yet - I don't have a forex account - only from the exchange, and the EA does not work there.

However, I can't see the work yet - I don't have a forex account - only from the exchange, and the advisor doesn't work there.

And I have the opposite: no connection to the exchange at the moment. And it will be like in that song:

You're a sailor, I'm a sailor.

You're a fisherwoman, I'm a fisherman.

You're on land, I'm at sea.

We'll never meet.

Added:

Trading on the exchange is netting and my advisor is only for hedging (as reported by the error printout when trying to connect to an exchange account:

2017.02.26 14:04:05.291 2016.04.22 00:00:00   Hedging only!

). So the exchange is flying by with a whistle of plywood on Paris.

I have the opposite: there is no connection in the exchange right now. And it will be like in that song:

You're a sailor, I'm a sailor.

You're a fisherman I'm a fisherman

You're on land I'm at sea

We'll never meet.

Yes, I understand, I just have Forex under 4 - maybe later I will open on demo - I will leave ideas if it will be interesting.

Teach me someone with a pro how to use the mt5 tester, I can't take much time in voice mode.

Vladimir Karputov:

No, I don't think that's a good approach: there are a lot of people, everyone likes different pairs and different timeframes. I'd rather prescribe it directly in the input parameters:

Ivan version "1.004":

• entered variables
• "Minimum distance from the price to stop loss (in pips)" - the minimum distance between the price and the Stop Loss level - if this distance is less, no position will be opened
• "Trailing Step(in pips)- the step for trailing
• protection at position opening:
• for BUY - if one of the already opened BUY positions has an opening price lower than the current price - the BUY position will not be opened
• for SELL position - if one of SELL position has an opening price higher than the current price - then SELL position will not be opened

Yes, that's much better. I optimized with your recommendations, I got as much as 50% for 2 weeks optimization, but when I ran the test for a month, I lost the same amount ))

It's just awful. To open a demo on MetaQuotes-Demo server, it takes a minute and a half ))

Ivan version "1.005":

• Fixed "FindPosition" function to find the minimum/maximum position of a certain type (price search):
•                if(mode==MODE_LOW)
                   {
                    if(m_position.PriceOpen()<price)
                       price=m_position.PriceOpen();
                   }
                }
     if(price==DBL_MIN || price==DBL_MAX)
        price=0;
     return(price);
    }
  now if no position of a given type was specified, a price of "0" will be returned - previously it was possible to return a DBL_MIN or DBL_MAX value.
• Fixed the function to open a Buy position. An unfavourable variant was possible earlier - when several consecutive Buy positions were opened and each consecutive one was opened at a worse price than the previous one - in case of hitting the trend reversal it caused appreciable losses:
  
  
  this has now been fixed (yes, yes, yes - the error was in the condition sign - previously it was a "<" sign:
•       return;
       }
  //--- the position of BUY can't be open below the lowest
     double price_open_low=FindPosition(POSITION_TYPE_BUY,MODE_LOW);
     if(price_open_low!=0)
        if(price_open_low> m_symbol.Ask())
           return;
  
     sl=m_symbol.NormalizePrice(sl);
     double tp=0.0;

Ivan version "1.006":

• Profit protection was introduced:
• new input parameter"InpCoefProtectionProfit" - calculated as m_account.Equity()/m_account.Balance() (Funds divided by Balance).
• When Equity exceeds the Balance by a factor of "InpCoefProtectionProfit" we close all positions - thus protecting the profit:
  
  //--- we work only at the time of the birth of new bar
     static datetime dtPrevBars=0;
  //--- protection of profit
     if(m_account.Equity()/m_account.Balance()>InpCoefProtectionProfit)
        bCloseAll=true;
  //--- trailing stop (at every tick)
     if(!RefreshRates())
        return;
     TrailingStop();
