Good yawning folks,
I've been getting the same error whilst using Empty4's slacktester, and after searching for Error1, I've found that it's *supposed* to mean that the stoploss info hasn't changed, (i.e. that you're using exactly the same values as the original stoploss), but, since the order doesn't have a stoploss yet, that's not the cause 
Still, the stoploss appears to be added correctly, even with the error message... Stoplosses still get changed and hit.
In forward testing, I see no such errors.
I've tried these adaptations in order to get Marilyn to run on M15...
Added BreakEvenProfit, (2 pips on EURUSD, any higher, and it lowers overall profit) Kept.
Filtering on the difference between MACD Bars, but it filtered a lot of good trades, whilst adding a lot of losers. Out.
UseRelativeStoch. I grab the Stoch value at trade entry, and move SL when Stoch has moved a user defined distance from there... It gives you a wider entry range. Kept.
AddToWinnersOnly. (I've set MaxUnprotectedTrades to 1, and DistanceInterTrade is 1 pip higher than DeltaPipsMoveSLOnStoch, (apparently only needed on lower timeframes)). Kept.
Added the option to turn off CloseOn3MACD, but only for losers, as I've found that a lot of trades reverse for more than 4 bars before going into profit. Kept.
Attempted to have a user defined count of MACD bars go against the trade before closing, but couldn't work out how to write the loop properly
I fixed a few typos, and got less trades, then fixed a few more, and got more trades 
I had to change the DeltaTime settings from extern datetime to extern int to be able to backtest... It doesn't effect the functionality at all, as all date/time functions' return values are in seconds. It makes it easier to see your changes. I have to work out how to convert from M15, H1, or 47S to make it easier to enter times.
So, I've finally got some numbers worth forward testing with, after blowing $500 (DEMO), by forgetting to reset the parameters after recompiling (D'oh!).
Will set up this weekend, with both v37 original, and 37 with my adaptations... They'll both be on the same demo, though, as I couldn't get a second demo with the same broker... We'll be able to compare them based on comments, though
Anyroad, it's 4:30am, and I have to get up for work in 4 hours...
Have fun, folks! =8^) |
, because with one backendtest I had no errors with the change, I leave in sell and buy logic two diffrent ways for testing proposes in debugging
