My setfiles are working, perhaps you can compare these with yours.

(Note that I'm using version 2v)

I am testing M15 and H4 and D1 on same account 2x1 version, but different magic numbers. Most fixed TP values is set at 30 on H4 and D1, and 8 on M15. No trades has closed in profit but several trades is way beyond my TP levels.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Attaching my setfiles.

Thanks. I will check your setfiles. It would be nice to know why my tp is not set. I never thought that I have some setting wrong.

Problem solved -

I was using a setfile from the 2w version on the latest 2x1 version. All inputs looked okay, I had the trade exits set to true on all 3 parameters: opposite arrow/blue wave/gold wave.
I just tried to set one of those to false. And that made the SL and TP show up correctly on the screen. I then went back and set it to true again and it still worked. So I guess it could be the former setfile, and the use of the template to that on all charts.

Did a new setfile from scratch and it works fine.

I have been testing 2x1 since Feb 16. So far it is not taking Range Trade which I have set to true. It seems that all other trades are taken ok but not Range Trade.

Anyone has the same observation ?

I am currently testing some M15 trading. I notice much better results with the HTF settings activated but my CPU is almost burning up. I have an i5 3.2Ghz processor and it consumes above 90% when using 28 charts.

I am using the settings below and have set MaxBarsInHistory and MaxBarsInChart to 1000. Is there a way I can reduce CPU usage a bit more?

hey i noticed i get errors from the history check when backtesting.
it always shows this error - Print("Never found #"+(string)ticket+" in history! crap!");
it doesn't happen with HGB though. i think because of the bool success?

qvintus,

you don't need to read the indicator so often, what time frame are you trading....I'm trading 4Hr and only read the indicator every 180seconds, which still maybe too often....also, the is a chart refresh at the bottom of the EA settings, I set this to 180 seconds also....

how is everybody going with their demos, I'm running on a couple of chats and although Steve's and Boinvest's EA kicked of with a bang a couple of weeks ago, they seem to have hit the wall....

From what i'm seeing, both EA's are missing entry and exits (apart from hard SL and TP's) and it is the close on reverse signals misses that is killing the two EA's performance.....

what are you guys seeing...

Thanks. I am on M15 and testing. I guess 180 seconds is too much. Maybe 30 seconds will do?

Does the lookback candles consume CPU? I have it set to 10. Is that too much when trading M15 with H1 and H4 agreemen?
