What sources do you recommend for market sentiment data? I wonder if it would be possible to combine all these sources and create an indicator showing the overall buy/sell position % on pairs. I haven't came across an indicator that does this yet

Is it a limitation to mt5 that when testing a multi-cuurency EA the results will be different depending on the symbol it is tested on? Even using the same settings and same symbols selected, I am getting very different results depending on the symbol

I spent hours optimizing in mt5 and ran a single test based on one of the results. When I tried to run other results and that same set again, the EA does not place any trades. Does anyone know why this happens

I understand TimeGMT() when running an EA live uses GMT, however when back testing does it use the broker time, local time or GMT? EDIT: Nevermind, I found this: During testing in the Strategy Tester , TimeGMT() is always equal to TimeCurrent()

I ran a long optimization over night and when I try to run through individual results the EA does not trade and there is an "old tick" error, any ideas why and how to get around this? Seems as though the overnight option was pointless as I cannot

I am back testing a multi currency EA. I noticed in my logs there are messages such as: 2015.04.23 19:00:17    Core 8    GBPCAD: history for 2015 year synchronized What exactly does history synchronization do? I see it

I understand that mt5 auto downloads history data when starting a back test but I was wondering if that is the data for all time frames or just the selected time frame? Would I need to run it on all time frames if I need the data from all time

Hello, Is it possible to code and back test an EA in mt5 that has 20+ currency pairs ? I do not want to test the currency pairs individually, I want to be able to optimize my indicator settings over all currency pairs at one time to achieve a

I noticed that when using indicators for back testing (e.g. cci overbought/sold) that results are completely different between brokers. What may seem like a good setup on one, is not on another. E.g. One broker shows the cci overbought but the other

This code works in back testing and most of the time forward testing but every now and then an extra trade will still be placed on the currency pair despite the check in the code below that SHOULD be preventing this. Trades do have different magic

I have downloaded hst data for required pair and imported it via the history center. It shows up there and I can backtest with it fine using every tick mdelling (verify this with visual mode). I know this is working as my broker does not supply the

I am back testing with Renko charts and although some pairs work just fine for some reason other pairs open one trade then immediately close it and does not trade any more after that. The error I get is: "tester cannot calculate prices". I do not

     if ( iCCI ( NULL , PERIOD_D1 , 14 , PRICE_OPEN , 1 ) > 100 ) Does this look correct? I have a feeling that the 100 will be referenced from the timeframe the EA is running on rather than d1

Hi, My EA always needs to check the last close trade but whenever mt4 is closed and restarted it does not read the last trade. Any ideas how I can code my EA to check the last trades result even when the terminal is restarted
