Nice work. However please, I don't understand the results. There are no headings to tell what the figures on each column represent.... Secondly please, concerning your "New Strategy" how does one measure the distance between the Ask/Bid price and the Envelope line? MT5 mobile has no measurement tool that measures and returns the value. So, please do you have a particular technique for achieving that? Please kindly share.... Other than that, your strategy seems very practical and highly commendable.... PLEASE KINDLY REPLY. THANK YOU!

Thanks for your feedback. I don't use the mobile version of MT5. I can't tell you anything.

Great Stuff man! Yeahhh, I figured you were a PC guy so I tried to piece the remaining part of the puzzle. But BIG thanks man. You're a genius. I found a way to optimize your genius strategy for MT5 mobile, and dare I say, the results have been 90%-99% for real!... Well this was very important for someone like me who usually has busy days every other day, so carrying my PC around doesn't usually work, as such I rely heavily on the mobile version of MT5.... YOUR STRATEGY IS A HUGE PART TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS HACK! THANK YOU MILLIONS MAN! keep doing big things❤️💯🇳🇬🤝🏾

Meanwhile, how about the columns and the figures on each of them... Please do you mind adding headings to each column so we can follow? I don't know what the data on each column represents: which column represents  balance, profit, loss, etc...? Please. I'm super grateful.

Table headers.

Final deposit, Number of profitable trades, Number of losing trades, Timeframe, Expiration time, Distance

 
>>> What conclusions can be drawn from all the work done? 99% of all indicator strategies practically do not work.

Does it keep one away from binary option ? ;)

Btw. if it is __99%__ not working, would a reversal trade a win guarantee ? Instead of placing CALL on call signal, one bets on PUT.
If this does not work neither, than what is wrong with the __99%__ ?

Reversing the entry to the position will not help. )

Greetings! Where is the success? Well, in the article, except for the sample codes... which I'm not very good at... It looks a bit complicated to me, just a couple of lines for closing, signal for closing after 1:2:3 etc. bars. Discrete, but it will be on fixed time too. If testing in MT, then the results, a screen of the tester would be given on history.... If I understood correctly, there are only two important parameters of the strategy for binary trading. This is the percentage of profitable trades in relation to losing trades and the number of losing trades in a row, the less, the better. That is, if say profitable and losing trades 50x50, but at least say no more than 5 losing trades in a row on a decent number of trades on the history, it is already as if you can "martinit" with the expected risk. I guess you can also consider averaging, but I haven't looked in this direction yet.... I came to the conclusion quite quickly that indicators do not work, some encouraging results are obtained by combining indicators and patterns. I am testing in MT4. I can't put zero spread in testing, so 1 point is about 1% of error in minus.

As it turns out for longs and shorts, the settings are very different....

As it turned out, for longs and shorts the settings are very different, so I had to separate....


 
Very interesting. I've been sitting on binary for about 10 years. What only strategies I have not invented. Any standard indicators do not work IMHO. I think you need to dig into candlestick analysis, candle body, shadows. So far in the minus.
