  Ok stopped again with mind set at 60. Trying at 120 now. What is this setting? Stop loss? Asking since it doesn’t change backtest results…

  Best if you post the snippet where you are making the change so others can check it out.

  It is possible that when you / we get rejected we are under the conditions I highlighted in my post below. I was manual trading, but it could equally have been an Auto-Trade.

  probably the easiest way to tackle this, is using market orders, 1 minute and mtf. It would clean up the code too!

  or split the code.

  one code setup for backtesting 1 hour timeframe

  one code setup to trade live on 1 minute timeframe for which the trade has to be the same as on the one hour timeframe in the backtest.

  As i said in the previous page, removing the 4am trade will make the stategy very less profitable; so it’s not a right solution.

  Is this possible? Never heard about something like this.. looks interesting!

  have a look

  It’s in the details and needs more attention, but this is roughly what I mean.

  use mode=1 for one hour timeframe for backtesting

  use mode=0 for 1 minute timeframe for demo/live

  It will never be 100% the same, 1 hour and 1 minute.

  Would this stop it from being rejected repeatedly at 4AM?

  yes, if running on 1 minute timeframe and with mode=0.

  no entry rejections based on minimum stop distance.

  Still there can be other reason why a trade is, or is not triggered compared to the backtest 1 hour timeframe.

  few minor changes

  the trailingstop on 1 minute timeframe can cause sometimes differences compared to the 1 hour backtest. Needs more testing.

  the file, load on dax 1 hour timeframe

  to run in demo, set mode to 0 and use 1 minute chart.

  Ok Paul, so if i understood well, when running the strategy live or demo we need to use mode 0.
  But the strategy with mode 0 needs to be applied on 1h or 1m chart?
  And the results with mode 0 will be the same as the 1h backtested?

  To run live, mode=0  on 1 minute chart.

  That’s the goal, but there will always be differences, since the entry price is slightly different between 1 hour and 1 minute.

  As result, it could make the difference when a stoploss is triggered or not, same for a trailing stop or profit-level.

  But if one has to choose between a flimsy entry because of the minimum stop distance or this, then this is the way to go I think.

   

  So a.t.m. it’s best to test, as Gubben described it and compare it to the backtest 1 hour.
