As for the drawdown, that's the wrong term in my case.
These tongues or spikes are just group closes, down is first stoplosses then takeprofits, but all this happened in 1-2 seconds just on the chart
that's what it looks like because the horizon is not time.
Now after reading one of the neighboring forum threads I finally got the idea in my head that I'm working on the wrong thing and thinking "in the wrong direction". I have already programmed a dozen or two EAs based on various indicators and trading systems available on the Internet. All to no avail.
Expert Advisors either float at breakeven or give millions after optimization but fail during the forward testing (adjustment). Or, again, millions without adjustment, but with TP<=10(the Grail). I have one advantage - experience in programming (before mql the last time I programmed in pascal about 5 years ago).
The question to forum masters, to those, who have developed stable, profitable EAs and have been working with them for a long time:
What principles are laid down in your Expert Advisors? Do you use indicators that are publicly available? If so, how many of them do you use? In general, what would you advise to read, what to start studying?
That's all for now, other questions will follow during the discussion (which hopefully will happen).
All available turkeys are usually a first and very crude approximation. Their purpose is not so much to work with as
as examples for programming in MQL4.
Normal EAs need their own non-standard approaches, taking into account both TA and FA.
If I am interested in further developments, I can show this chart from time to time.
But I think that Monday will be close to 0, on Friday I managed to make only 40 bp.
I only add that the robot should seek to reduce the size of the loss, and the drawdown time should be reasonable, not 2 - 3 months, with a frequency of transactions of 10-20 a day. As well as entering the drawdown in the same period.
... all the more for the sake of the beauty of the balance chart.
But you have to understand that the market is a stochastic process, which means that profits cannot be constant or predictable .
But I think that Monday will be almost zero.
