No probs mate I am setting them up now.

OK based on your screenshot with the trade report, I am guessing 10k, so I will set those up.firewight » Mon Feb 05, 2018 8:06 pm wrote:No probs mate I am setting them up now.

OK, 3 new 10k demos are setup and waiting to trade based on the 3 unique time windows you specified.tomele » Mon Feb 05, 2018 7:19 pm wrote:Hi FW.
Thanks, much appreciated. The time around start of New York session is a little bit under-represented. How about 14-16, 15-17, 15-18 ?
Cheers, Thomas
Each has your 10 pairs: AU, EG, EJ, EU, GJ, GU, NU, UCAD, UCHF, UJ
All other settings are out of the box and have not been changed.
If you need anything else from me please let me know, otherwise i'm happy to report the results when the time comes.
Cheers!
PS: as an aside, my demos are IC Markets, not sure if that matters or makes any difference...

IC Markets also is a 5 candle broker, so no difference.firewight wrote:PS: as an aside, my demos are IC Markets, not sure if that matters or makes any difference...

Two short tips for all testers:
If the cpu footprint of the running EAs is too big, you can decrease the timer frequency. In line 809, EventSetTimer(1) means running once every second. It should do no harm to increase this to e.g. 5.
If you want to get rid of all those screenshots without adjusting the settings for each instance, add a return statement in line 3648 at the very beginning of TakeChartSnapshot() and recompile.

All,
Given that this EA needs the bigger moves to win I thought it might be worth looking at the average pip movements per hour for a given symbol. The attached script pulls the figures from the symbol it's dropped onto and outputs them to a file. This can then be opened in excel and simply charted to show the key periods to catch price moves. For example - the chart below is EURUSD going back to Oct 17 (the last winter/summer time change). I've marked on the London session for info. Maybe this could be of use alongside the backtesting.
Please note. The script uses server time and I've made it work between two dates (rather than just a number of bars back) specifically to avoid testing over a winter/summer time change. Testing across one of these time changes can mean that the pip data gets captured in the wrong hour. It's also worth mentioning that the script looks at High-Low for that hour so it's not showing absolute price movement - just volatility.

@tomele or @firewight
Can I ask for adding one/two CFD to your 24/5 running EA's (DAX/DOW) which have really huge pip movements last days. That would be fantastic! Thanks

Hi.
I dont see any benefit in adding CFDs that are in an extreme and rare market condition to a test that is aimed at gaining insight into possible long term forex strategies.
You can easily set up your own demo for whatever purpose.
Cheers
