same thing,

is this EA only working with 4 digits brokers?
Or maybe my broker is ECN and do not allow oders to be sent along with stops but the stops can be addes only after the order is issued...

ok let me chek this one :)

got it!

Added this 2 lines in the order function:

else
{
OrderSelect(ticketId, SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(ticketId, OrderOpenPrice(), slPrice, tpPrice, 0, CLR_NONE);
}

If anybody run this on an ECN broker or on a broker which do not allow orders to be issued along with stops, this 2 lines should solve the problem.

I know about the issue throwing errors while opening some orders. But I have found out, that those error orders are just mistakes in EA which I still can't solve. However, as long as those wrong orders are not opened, everything should work fine. Only orders which should opened are opened :-)

Here are test results for 2009/2010/2011/2012. In the beginning, I ended up with
too much curve-fitting, i.e., I'd get good results in one year, but not good results in
another. I found a combination of settings that are robust enough to survive
four years of backtesting, without running into drawdown problems. Parameters
were eurusd on H4, $1268 starting balance, .01 lots, and inputs of pips=2, days=5.
Worst drawdown was 11%.

I would consider this as a workhorse EA. It's not a barn-burner, but it won't take out
your account while you're asleep, either.

Are there any pairs/time frames/set file you would like to see forward tested?

I would like to see how the current setfile does with gbpusd and usdjpy. I think the
correct TF is H4, which, I believe, is hard-coded into the EA.

Hi Rob thanks for your intensive test procedure ! Could you plz at the end of these tests attach the original setfiles you use ... to make it sure for us ...

Btw - looking onto Kruspe's pictures/charts above I have to notice that all trading is running on daily charts ? Daily ... H4 ... so what's right ? May be Tom could clarify this question ... ? :?

Ah ... you are fast ... Rob ! :!:

Aside from lot size, there are only four inputs. Setfile attached, herewith.

I believe the OP recommended testing on H4. I ran three separate backtests on D1, H4, and H1,
and all three produced the same results.
