EA's need to be tested for optimization and to see if it is error proofed. Would you either post the EA or send it to me at: ddiebold@sbcglobal.net for additional forward testing. I would be happy to help beta test the EA.

well if you move your TP all the the time price near it... i guess is the same logic if you have open TP (no TP set to order) and use trailing stop instead .. correct ?

If you don't have real account statement or forward test, please don't show the backtest only to show up cuz backtest still have many miss calculations to what that could happen in realtime. I had create an EA that have 90% quality with 200% profit balance gain in just 1 month and maximum drawdown 5-10%. At forwadtest the EA just total losser when ranging market coz the EA is the trend follower and many signal that don't executed cuz they don't have enough time to confirm when fast market. If you rely on 90% quality i'll tell you what it's mean 90% is.

Backtest will calculate every data on you time range testing. If all data is complete (no corrupt or missing data) no matter how long (tick or second) each price data hold up, the tester will claim it as a success execution. All good data will presented as quality calculations. Backtest is how to calculate our stategy but with no any interupt conditions matter. 90% is you data quality for calculate your strategy but not how good is your strategy.

In realtime, actually we need more than tick or even sometime we need more than 1 second to execute an order. Sometime we have a requote or ping failed so that its not a success execute signal. As we know we all have different internet conections speed and conditions.

So if you want to see your real EA peformance you must do forward test !

Regard.

yes, both of us are correct in our own way.

the reason i leave the TP is becuz if a large price burst happens in 1 minute or two, then My TP would miss out on all that joy...so i leave it..

look at the EURUSD's Giant last leap this week...happend in less than 2 minute...and is over 60 pips...so my TP would enjoy that.

i agree with you 100%.....that's why my backtests data back from 2004.

but the forward test is needed still....but who has the time to do this for me?

you are funny....
To develope such a tight EA, you had the time, but to install it on a demo machine and let it run for a week or two you don't have the time? I think a lot of people will be happy to help you with that, including me

Good luck
Eli

i suggest a way u could fix your EA, becuz of the extreme and turbulent volatility your EA experienced, try to fix it using help from bollinger bands

SMA = iMA(NULL,PERIOD_M15,55,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_WEIGHTED,0 );
double StdDev=iStdDev(NULL,0,20,MODE_EMA,0,PRICE_CLOSE,0) ;


BBUp = (SMA + Deviation*StdDev)/Point;
BBDn = (SMA - Deviation*StdDev)/Point;


int BBdif = MathAbs(BBUp-BBDn);

buyable=(RSI>58&&RSI<75 && BBdif <80 );
sellable=(RSI<42&&RSI>25&& BBdif <80);

this code is an Extract from My EA. the <80 serves as a too great volatility warning....it worked....just my 2cents

Now, back to our thread...

Thank's any way, but i'm already solve my problem by changing to longer timeframe so the indicator can hold up a little longer when signal zone although i have to adjust some minor setting. I'll tell you if i find a problem for the next.

yea me too

what led you to use those time periods?
