Hi Michel,

I have been lurking and testing this EA which I think is fantastic. I have been comparing my results to the ones you posts and noted that there are some major difference in the floating P/L. I am hoping to replicate your setup and hope you can help me identify where my error is:

Here are the currency pairs I have setup
audjpy
audusd
chfjpy
eurchf
eurgbp
eurusd
gbpchf
gbpjpy
usdcad
usdchf
usdjpy

I am using the following set file
TradeShort=1
TradeLong=1
UseDPO=1
UseCCI=1
CCIPeriod=15
LotSize=0.01000000
LotIncrement=0.01000000
Multiplier=2.00000000
ProfitTarget=1
SL=0.00000000
OpenOnTick=1
Spacing=15
TrendSpacing=1000
CounterTrendMultiplier=1.00000000
CloseDelay=10
CeaseTrading=0
PasueTrading=Pause Trading at Timeinterval
StartTime=0
EndTime=0
QuitTrading=Quit Trading at Time

Ok, my english is very bad but I try to explain :

1:100 is the leverage that I use on my DEMO account but... it's a error of my part when I've created my DEMO account because I would 1:200...

It's a mistake that I see after 3 days.

1:100 --> Not on a real account !

Sorry,

Michel

I'm new to this thread, but have browsed a large portion of it. It seems like Pipmaker has great potential, even from the first post by Don_Forex, but no one is really satisfied with it yet, as evidenced by the discussion of PipMaker v10-1. I've run a few backtests of each version, and I seem to get the best results with Version 5a Neo (the next-to-last one on Post #1).

But all of them fail to run very long in backtest...from a few days to a few weeks. Then the balance crashes. I've never had a backtest complete the date range that I set for it. When looking at the test chart, there's nothing that I can see to suggest why all the trades suddenly close with big losses. I admit I haven't studied the logic, although I intend to, beginning with Version 5a Neo. Version 10-1 has not fixed this, because it does the same thing.

I am very curious whether this big crash also occurs with forward testing on a demo account. Or is this just something that happens on the backtester?

what settings work the best or using the PipMaker Neo EA? Currency Pair, Time Frame and specific EA settings? What are you trying?

thanks

I try only GBPJPY. in 5m timeframe, pipmaker v10, settings attached. Do a backtest and decide, maybe good settings and timeframe or not???

Now that I've looked at some of the code in the v5 Neo version, I see that "Point" is used for many of the calculations.

Since I use Velocity4x as my broker, and they merged into Gain Capital (Forex.com), they have changed the value of "Point." For most currency pairs, such as EURUSD and GBPUSD, "Point" is normally 0.0001, but now, Velocity4x has added another decimal value to all prices, and "Point" is 0.00001. With Japanese currencies, it was 0.01, but now it is 0.001.

So I'll have to modify the program to get a good simulation. Everything I wrote earlier is probably wrong, based on this...
