Added topic I thought Pending Orders could only have Positive Slippage ?
i'm testing something right now, on MT5 and I got some pretty high slippage but it is negative slippage (I set a Sell Stop @ 1.30710 and it opens @ 1.30675) I thought only positive slippage was possible when using a Pending Order thanks Jeff

Early Trends finds trends early, when price is still squeezed inside price action, which is the best time to spot a trend. When the price action makes higher highs or lower lows within the first bars back, while no HH or LL has been triggered on higher period bars back, then a trend is potentially beginning You can also take signals only in the direction of the trend, with the trend filter. Many parameters : Number of Bars Displayed Number of Bars Back HHLL Number of Bars Back Multiplier Period

Added topic what's up with these prices errors ?
It's not the first time it happens. Wrong price is used instead of the right one, resulting in an enormous loss in the backtest I don't think my code is wrong, because error comes and goes. BTW it's an OPEN PRICE backtest I restart MT5 and error is

Added topic New "Open Prices Only" way to handle price ?
Hi I noticed that in MT5, the way backtest are conducted in " Open Price " backtests is now different : all the processing will be handled at the CLOSE of the bar rather than at the open as before. I find this unsettleling as there is no way to

Hi AFAIK it's not possible to open a trade withing the candle duration on Open Prices . other systems allow that. it's just a matter of checking if the price asked for entry is within high and low of the bar, then computing the Drawdown as if price

9 out of 10 copies left at $100 after that price will double ($200) ! so hurry This indicator is a mean-reversal type of indicator. Meaning it will not follow a trend but rather make profit from a change in price direction, when the price extends from it mean, but to come back to it later on. This indicator is 100% NON REPAINT and will not redraw its arrows once they appear. Each arrow is drawn at the close of the candle, not during the life of the candle. No parameters, only alert parameters

Added topic Right way to close orders ?

Added topic CustomSymbols : slower that base symbols ?
Hi I tried to create a custom symbol with only the necessary ticks for my strategy. of course I cannot modifiy the parameters of the input signals, but I wanted to see if putting the minimum amount of ticks in the custom symbol would speed backtest
