@ francesco .

well in fact i ve tried to backtest it in various indices/currency with no satisfying results , but maybe i ve made it wrong .

to all ,

i encourage you to backtest a variable in stop loss 10 to 200 it improve quite a bit the results .

Hi all,

I had a BUY triggered this am (0350) @ 4657 .  Did anyone else see this?  Checking the candle I don’t see a Hammer down at 0330, almost but not quite and backtesting the data does not trigger a BUY.  Any ideas why this might have happened?  If the auto trading used the “worse” case of bid / ask it might suffice a hammer but why wld that happen?  if using all Mids or all Bids (or all asks) there is not a 33% hammer.

The code used is as per the OP with a zero divide adjustment (although i don’t think this is related to the Zero div issue).

Thanks

Juan and Nicolas fix did work. I started both and they both worked today.. athleast on the long trade.

About what Carras explains: Had a longtrade today with profit( juans fix and nicolas fix code) but the backtest showes no trades?

This is the one I use (nicolas fix) I also run juans fix that did just the same as thisone today.

The first ok in profit.
go on …

thanks

For now 3 winners on 3 trade.
Can do better with a trailing Profit. Trailing stop I think that’s fine. What do you think if you’re also talking about this?
