Thanks for putting this together.

Trader1,

Its working just fine in Forward Test, it's been a long time since i backtest, i haven't done any backtest with this EA.

It doesn't even open Sell trades within the 80-20 levels? Remember it wont open a trade above or below these levels.

Also, in order to open a trade, the trend determined by the MA indicator has to be a Down trend in the case of SELL and the RED line has to be above the BLUE line in the Stochastic indicator. You may have a RED line above the BLUE line but if the trend is UP, the trade will not open...

All that said, it is strange that you dont have SELL orders taken into account that you cover a long period ot time on Backtest and it is normal to expect SELL orders as well as BUY orders.

The computer where i Backtest is sending an error when i tried to Backtest this EA so i have to check that.

Have you tried Forward Test? You can open various pairs with Default settings, only Portion = (number of pairs you open) TF = H1

One of them will be on SELL levels very soon, just so you can check if it works.

Thanks for the report!
