Be careful with small TS in strategy tester
Good day everybody,
for quite some time now I have been searching for an EA strategy to capitalize the major swings in XAUUSD. I came across this bot and community and I must say: I am deeply impressed. Thanks for all your work and great ideas!
Until now I have only read and reproduced since I had nothing to contribute yet. This strategy however, might be interesting and I have taken the liberty of improving / modifying it.
I have deactivated Martingale, since I want my EAs to be stable and profitable by themselves during optimization. Only when that is achieved, I start adding such strategies in order to make the already working strategy even more explosive.
In theory I would like the bot to place relatively few trades at first, usually after a major turn. I played around with ZZ/MA combinations but to no avail thus far. Perhaps I start a separate topic on this. Or is there already something available?
For this strategy, I have been able to attain roughly one trade per day at a winrate of > 90%.
Capitalization in terms of SL TP and order management is still tentative and not optimized at all. A trailing stop might make sense here, I suppose. But until now I have been unable to find details on how this works with this EA. Perhaps we can improve on this further together :-)
Oh, and if someone has an idea on how to reset my tick history, that seems to be corrupted somehow judging by the low quality.
Best regards
Andreas
Hi,
I've put together the strategy here, you need to improve it.

I hope that if you improve the strategies you share them.
