  What might the reason be for the sudden loss in momentum?

  At a guess the take profit and stop loss levels just happen to fit the period that it was developed on better than the period since then. This is always a problem with TP and SL levels they are very easy to curve fit to past data. The general theory of the strategy is good but the difference between profits and loss will always come down to how the market is currently moving in relation to these TP and SL fixed levels.

  IMO, this is a great strategy with nice potential, OOS speaks for itself.

  The 30min strategy on 1h or the latest 1h on 1h?

  I don’t disagree – I just think it is difficult to get excited about the OOS 18.2 pips profit over six trades in one year and 90% of that profit came from just two trades. The lack of any losing trades is exciting though.

  It will be interesting to see how this one continues with further real life forward testing.

  Can anybody see why I am getting the Rejects for the reason shown (red arrow) on the code below please?

  Why is the code trying to take a limit position at a price that is clearly not obtainable (blue arrow)?

  And then – in the same second, 100012 code tried to take a stop position at a realistic price as expected ( black arrow).

  Version below may include changes I have made.

  Hope that makes sense?

  Thank You in Advance

  Related to limited risk account I guess. Stoploss can’t be too far related to the margin required..

  This is why I am confused … isn’t the StopLoss = 50 at Line 50 and used in Line 124 (set stop ploss stoploss)?

  Also it is Limit Orders (not Stops) that are being rejected as being too far from price.

  @GraHal TGL is 0, because it’s a price and does not need to be converted using POINTSIZE. Replace those lines with:

  if longonmarket then MAXPRICE = MAX(MAXPRICE,close) if MAXPRICE-tradeprice(1)>=TGL then//*pointsize then PriceExit = MAXPRICE-TGL//*pointsize ENDIF ENDIF if shortonmarket then MINPRICE = MIN(MINPRICE,close) if tradeprice(1)-MINPRICE>=TGS then//*pointsize then PriceExit = MINPRICE+TGS//*pointsize ENDIF ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  if longonmarket then    MAXPRICE = MAX(MAXPRICE,close)    if MAXPRICE-tradeprice(1)>=TGL then//*pointsize then       PriceExit = MAXPRICE-TGL//*pointsize    ENDIF ENDIF if shortonmarket then    MINPRICE = MIN(MINPRICE,close)    if tradeprice(1)-MINPRICE>=TGS then//*pointsize then       PriceExit = MINPRICE+TGS//*pointsize    ENDIF ENDIF

  This will affect performance a bit.

  You don’t need to add  a P, since those values are differences in price, not in Pips,

  You are right, but it doesn’t matter if the instrument has a pipsize = 1, and this is the case for DAX.

  Nicolas, this is EurUsd, not DAX.

  Indeed lines 49-50 should have * POINTSIZE before the comment, so their values match lines 38-39 which are in price (probably Francesco78 referred to lines 49-50). So GraHal will have to choose one of the two ways and use PROFIT/LOSS with/without P accordingly.

  Thanks guys

  hahahah I’ve tried 4 combinations of your suggestions and results just get better and better! 🙂

  Now to start thinking what is really happening and interpreting your suggestions?

  Results seem too good to be true?
