Great EA in backtest! - page 97

 

TP doesn't work properly.

I have a question.

Why do I get these errors while backtesting using a preset TP setting?

USDJPY,H1: Error on the Long Entry: 130

Does anyone have a solution? I think it's all because the EA uses it's own logic in definition of a TP level. If so then what for do we have the "TP" setting available?

I noticed that your modification of CCI parameters cuts the number of trades by a half or 2/3. Although it reduces drawdown (mostly for EUR from my backtests, for JPY I would suggest use of the developers' parameters for CCI /lower drawdown % in my backtests/) it also reduces Profit Factor and overall Profit. My question is what do we need first to achieve a long term profitability: high number of trades (as we rely on the EA to choose the TP level) or 1/3 of possible trades with the lower drawdown % and much less profit gained?

Thanks for your development efforts!

I should also add that the EA doesn't take only long orders. Everything is fine with the short ones.

No trades for 2 days on USDJPY. Is that consistent with what anyone else is getting or do I have something wrong?

Here are my settings. I am using 1.85h further modified to calculate autolots so that it doesn't count the trades from other experts. The lots were coming out around 0.25. I have now switched back to static lots to see if that makes a difference, but it shouldn't.

I've had no JPY trades for two days either. Currently using close to David's settings for JPY.
