Please answer a small question, not found anywhere on the site . Is it possible in the Championship terminal when installing a pending order to give it a stoploss and takeprofit and then modify all these parameters ? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Why not?
 
galina_s:

Yes no, the testing period is as you indicated from 2007.01.01 - 2007.08.20

but why is the date of opening trades from 2003 - QUESTION TO YOU - "WHY?"
You haven't checked "recalculate", that's why you used history from FXT file created earlier (from previous runs).

In general, your questions in this thread are clearly off-topic. If you want to discuss this issue, start a separate thread. Here we are discussing only the rules of the championship and errors in the experts sent to the competition.

In some brokerage companies only market orders can have a take and loss.

Tomorrow, new error types will be added and the conditions will become even tougher.
That was September 1, today is the 4th.

Everything was added a long time ago. Everyone can see in their profile the list of errors found in their EA.
 
Renat:

Multicurrency Expert Advisors


Multicurrency EAs can not always be adequately tested in the MetaTrader strategy tester, and often produce the following error:
  • OrderSend error 4106 (ERR_UNKNOWN_SYMBOL) - unknown symbol
This error is not fatal and you can ignore it.
However, when testing a multi-currency EA, all currencies (except for the worker currency) will generate this error, which should affect the testing time. Therefore if a multi-currency EA is tested for more than 5 minutes, this should not mean that the EA is "over consuming resources". A suggestion for Organizers: to test multicurrency EAs, add the IsTesting() function to the EA's code and test in a single currency mode (for each currency separately). This will allow to check the Expert Advisor for absence of trading mistakes and for "sinking".

This should be done by the EA writer.
A simple construct like if ( IsTesting() && UseSymbol != Symbol() ) return; will solve all the problems ;)

But will the Organizers admit such an EA for participation in the contest? When using this construction, the test for 5 minutes will pass the multicurrency "overusing resources" without any problems.

This design is a good tone of Expert Advisor programming.
I haven't heard of organisers disqualifying competent EA writers ;)
