Nothing has changed. This is the only thread on this site with dysfunctional EA.

and compare it with what you attached to your post... what you attached is HTML-CODE!!!
Empty4, can't compile this. Load the version from Post #1 and it will work.

Set files can not be used. For comparison I attach another file set. He works for a different EA.

Jako - you have to realize by now that no-one else is having the issues so the problem is at your end. I have seen this before when browsers start doing weird things. I suggest you try a different browser - Firefox/Internet Explorer or whatever.

EDIT: I am pretty certain it will have something to do with the ' in the Bears'n'Bulls + your local settings. Maybe when you download if you just rename to the exact name listed on the download you won't have any issues.

banzak - v1.04 didn't have any trades today (at least mine didn't!) is V1.04a different with entries?

Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave,

Yes, I made a modification, the V1.04a made 2 trades today and I realized to program a function that closes all trades on Friday if they are profitable. :)
There are also some little bugs with the comment on the left side... servertime.. localtime... but this will be fixed in the next releases. If you spot some misbehaviour or if your version takes a wrong decision please let me know.

Take a look at my signature, the 3rd is the V1.04a on a demo account.

Regards,
Banzak

p.s. I uploaded the V1.04a at the 1st post and here is my setfile for you to compare with your settings.

I have downloaded this one and yes it is not working, so I downloaded the one posted in page 1 without renaming and works fine.

Hi all,

I also spotted some behaviour in the backtests that the entrypoint sometimes is at the end of a trend, especially when a basket was closed and the ea didn't get the next signal. the ema5 get a distance to the ema20 and when it comes back the signal is then valid .... :?
(if you find also some strange behaviour like this, post it here)

I have an idea to solve this but I think this will be in V1.04b. :D

I also want to know if someone needs a manual for backtesting? I will describe in detail how to get an working setfile and what the exact logic is behind this piece of CrapMT-Code.

Regards
Banzak
