Who else wants a Titan? This is next on my shopping list as well as a new CPU.

Adjusted the price of Alpha Seeker. After messing around with the trailing stop EA I found it to be very interesting and possibly profitable under the right conditions. Overall I feel it is priced better at 30 credits and hope all enjoy it that try it. I will work on improving it as time goes on and I learn more about MQ5 and all the possibilities it provides. Right now I am looking into the use of depth of market and scalping.

Added topic NVIDIA CUDA for strategy testing
Any of the programmers here know how to setup CUDA to work with the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester ?  I have a very expensive GPU with liquid cooling just hanging out while my CPU could use the help.  I am surprised actually this is

Had some really interesting results when traded all pairs, sadly I forgot to save my inputs. Working on getting those kind of results again. Will not publish EA until the default settings will work for 90% of pairs. I want anyone to be able to download and be profitable in most market situations.

Doing forward test on 35 pairs with only 1 setting on the EA. The backtest showed a steady cumulative profit and less then 1% drawdown on any pair(the trailing stop is actually set to 1%... no trades came close). If the forward acts like the backtest I will release EA to the marketplace.

Added topic Depth of Market
I am working on a Depth of Market (DOM) scalping system .  I want to add this EA to the market but not sure how traders can back-test it with DEMO. I will look to offering a signal of the EA but this is not the same as doing

Not a response for my DOM question. More and more it seems no one has answers to my questions here.

Switched to Meta Quotes Demo instead of my old broker demo. Now have access to much better historical data and will use it to provide a better starting set for others to begin with. My signal will also be changing as it is based off such a short amount of optimized data.

For everyone's benefit, below is my response to a question I received. "The EA does not close the order, can you give me a guide?"

Thank you for trying my EA! I am sorry you are having trouble with it and I would be glad to help. I think maybe you did not select "true" on one of the types of trailing stops.

Trailing Stop Settings

Trailing_Stop (true/false): Enable trailing stop using a set number of pips. Used on only a single currency and time frame.
Trailing_Stop_Start (70.0): Trailing stop start level in pips.
Trailing_Stop_Distance (20.0): Trailing stop distance to follow in pips.
Dynamic Trailing Stop Settings

Dynamic_Trailing_Stop (true/false): Enable dynamic trailing stop. Best used when trading multiple symbols on the same window. Uses a past number of bars high/low to set the trailing stop level.
Bar_Number (3): Bar number for High/Low tracking.


You can also use just the break even option and get some interesting results.

Break Even Settings

Break_Even (true/false): Enable break even to prevent loss after going into profit.
Break_Even_Level (50.0): Break even level in pips.
Break_Even_Profit (1.0): Break even profit in pips.
MOST importantly is that you optimize the EA, if you watch my video I posted http://youtu.be/wFbZgSo19Zk or look at the photos included in the description I show you what inputs worked for me on my broker. Please read all of the description and optimize the EA, if you have credits I highly recommend using the cloud service to speed up optimization.

If you have any other problems, or suggestions please contact me again. Thank you!

The Fundamentals of Testing in MetaTrader 5

What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.
