So I am testing my EA with the EXACT same parameters on the d1 timeframe and comparing 90% modelling quality using data from metquotes (history center) with 99% modelling quality using tick data from Dukascopy. I would have thought that the tick

I have read through the threads in the forum which seem to be outdated and not have an ideal solution. Is there a way to auto detect the difference between broker time and GMT without the user needing to input a GMT offset? Currently I use code that

Hi, When testing EA's, are you more concerned about the max or relative drawdown, perhaps both? I think max drawdown is more important as this determines the drop from the "balance" whereas relative determines the drop from the "equity". This way I

I want my EA to only enter on the first signal, e.g. when the 3 MA crosses the 8 MA when both are above the 200 MA. At the moment the EA will do this on every cross above the 200 MA, but I would like to set it to ONLY enter on the first 3/8 cross

I have been heavily optimizing my EA with genetic algorithm checked for faster speed. I found some excellent setting combinations but when I try to combine these with other settings those particular sets seem to be avoided by the optimization

I was wondering if it is possible to round up the stop loss or take profit to the nearest number that can be divided by 5

Hi, I am trying to make the distance of the take profit the same as the stop loss distance. The stop loss is based on an indicator and I need to get the distance of the open price and the indicator to duplicate this distance for the take profit? Can

Hi Guys, I am trying to code an EA based on the triangle formation (breakout) but struggling to find an indicator to work with. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one? Cheers

Hi all, I am looking for someone to help me add a simple trailing stop and stop loss to this EA

Hi All, I have been trying to get my EA to place an order with the same previous stop loss size (it is based on a candle low/high) for hours now with no luck. Basically, I would have to store and use the last stop loss value and call it for the order

I need to make this order function use a % of the AccountEquity rather than a % of the AccountFreeMargin. This code allows the risk to be adjusted depending on a win/loss, but calculates risk depending on free margin when I need it to calculate based

I need help counting consecutive profit orders and then resetting count after (x) amount of trades.. So far I have: int ProfitHistoryOrdersCount() {      int PosCnt = 0 ;      int cnt = HistoryTotal();
