New article Filtering by History has been published:
The article describes the usage of virtual trading as an integral part of trade opening filter.
There are different filters: values of indicators, market volatility, time, weekday. They all can be used for sifting loss trades. It is quite easy to add such a filter into an Expert Advisor - just add one more condition before the opening block.
But what should be done, if you want to use the EA history as a filter? If you switch off your trade system after a number of unsuccessful trades, you will not have a history later, and therefore there will be nothing to be analyzed. To solve this problem we need to teach an Expert Advisor trade virtually, i.e. simulate opening, modification and closing of trades without real trading activity.
This is what this article is about.
