no-nonsense-forex-shop.fourthwall.com/ I wanted people to watch and code themselves so that there is learning involved. But there are so many that don't want to code the video, so thinking now to make the code available as a download file for a small fee like $15-20 or something. Have made downloadable codes available. Still would suggest strongly to follow the video and code for yourself so you learn the logic as well. But if you really want to, then you can now buy the code for a little donation.

[@No_Shenanigans]

that means the checking for OpenPositions and Orders in the OnTick() function has an error. EA is not picking up that there is already an open position or a pending order. pause the video on that and check. There is something wrong in loops for open positions and orders.

Dont waste ur time it doesn't work, i tried the code with same parameters (all parameters including the same dates as him) it ends up in a loss

Tried it on the same broker as well? Brokers can really impact results. I ran the test on ICMarkets STANDARD demo account.

[@Shiny_black]

bad luck.. i found ur comment after wasting my 4hours

[@No_Shenanigans]

@Animal_Loverss @Shiny_black I challenge either of you to make a video where you show the entire code, and then run backtest on ICMarkets Standard demo account using the exact settings that I have and that the results are significantly different. Will wait eagerly. I BET you used a different broker and then since all brokers are angels proceeded to decide that there must be one code used in backtest and other shown in video. EVEN THOUGH hundreds of comments of where people have replicated the same results. They are all BOTS i guess in your head.

[@abbestrader]

@@No_Shenanigans I also wrote the code and test it for the same parameters, buton a dem account by Exness broker, results are very differents. anyway, I learned a lot from the viideo, thnks

[@No_Shenanigans]

there are many who have commented here that it doesn't work on Exness as the trailing stop doesn't work. Many brokers do not allow scalping, exness looks like is one of them (not allowing trailing stops to be only 1 pip away from the price). Also not sure what their spreads are but if they are more than 0.5pips on standard account, then is going to be bad results. The broker will make money. I thought I covered it well in the videos that the EA requires 2 things - Extremely tight spreads (0.5pips max) on standard account (no commission) - ability to trail stop loss close to the price (brokers that allow scalping). but guess communication is not my strong skill :))

[@No_Shenanigans]

Frequently Asked Questions. = What broker am I using to run this EA? What broker is best for running this EA. I personally use ICMarkets and while not promoting them, I am very happy with them for the last 10 years or so. and if you do choose to use ICMarkets, you can join them using this link which will include a 15% reduction in their spreads. icmarkets.com/?camp=71312 If you are already on ICMarkets you can use Partner ID = 71312 code to get a 15% reduction in spreads by sending an email to [e-mail] (not affiliated with them, but find them to be good broker so sharing the information) =. Every Tick vs. Real Tick I believe in neither set. The only true test is forward testing in a demo account over 3 months at least. For what it is worth, the backtest on the EA shows a lot of promise and if it interest you, I would suggest to code it and forward test it. If you already know by watching 3 minutes of video that this is not going to work, happy days, you saved yourself 2 hours (and learning something new) I would be hard pressed to find another EA on youtube which EVEN gives such results on Every Tick. and for Real Tick I have seen even good strategies bite the dust immediately. The ones that even perform. One of my other EAs (which I will share in future videos) is swing based and does quite ok in real account. But in RealTick bites the dust immediately. So believing neither and believing only forward testing. BUT I understand that will require 2 hours of sitting down, following the video and coding and risking that those 2 hours might be a waste (disregarding learning and knowledge shared).. Much easier to DISMISS and continue with life. :))) =. EA accounts for commissions already? EA by default is designed for standard SPREAD ONLY accounts. If you apply to commission based account, EA will wrongly assume we are already in profit once it goes past triggerTSL point while in reality we might not be. If really want to apply to commission based account, then increase the TSLTrigger and TSLpoints by say 0.5, 0.6 pips (5-6 points) to accommodate for the commission paid. = Results are fake Again, i don't doubt the 400 IQ analysis from watching 2 minutes of video to come to that deduction. But not sure what to do or say to people who have followed the video and coded the EA and are confirming that they get similar backtest results. Again, I don't believe in backtesting anything more than an INDICATION of whether or not an EA is worth testing in forward testing. = Suggestions on improvement Extremely grateful for those. Will keep collecting and when I have 5-6, will make a video showing how to code those suggestions. So far I have 1) Applying RSI/MA/Bollingerbands to further finetune trading criteria 2) include option to trade fixed lots ONLY besides as risk % and 3) Don't let 100 bars expires before refreshing the high/low. If there is a new high/low, delete the current order and put it on the new high/low. Thanks a lot for these suggestions = General one-liners e.g. This won't work Not sure what to do with those comments. Stop sharing what I am sharing???

we need more explanation to find high and lows in candles thanks teacher

[@46byv6rub]

Thanks for posting this very insightful video. Having a 26-fold return over one and a half years is A LOT. My concern is only: Is your strategy tester using actual historical tick data? Or is it just interpolating tick movements based on M1 OHLC data? In the real world, tick data are very jittery, and if you are using such a tight trailing stop loss, you might get stopped out much closer to your entry price than strategy tester predicts.

[@No_Shenanigans]

backtests are only good to check if the codes are working as intended. Forward testing is the ONLY real testing I used everytick data (so is not OHLC).. you are right, real world is very different and the only way to test is to apply in a demo account and forward test.

[@No_Shenanigans]

it should as long as there is 1 bar to the left and 1 bar to the right. But i don't suppose it will place any orders as orderdistancepoint will require price to be a certain distance which might not happen if the barsN is only 1.

[@nguyendinhngoc0501]

Thank you so very much. There are 2 questions I want to ask about the code if it runs automatically: 1. There is no protection when orders slip: The EA has no checks or adjustments for order slippage, which can lead to orders being entered at unexpected price levels. 2. Lack of reaction to big news: The EA has no mechanism to avoid trading during times of important economic news, which can cause major risks if the market fluctuates strongly after the news is announced.

[@No_Shenanigans]

This is just the base code. and still between 2 parts is more than an hour long. There will be more videos to put parameters like you mentioned and also checks like if account has proper balance, that user has not selected any erroneous inputs like starting hour is later than the ending hour etc. But that will make the video 5 hours long. Already is too much for people not familiar. Do not want to load them with phd level stuff if they are new to coding. also, if I separate all other parameters and conditions etc, then people can decide which one they want to include and which not. you are an experienced trader, I have to keep the weakest link with the rest of the chain as well. I don't have any solution for slippage. I suppose no one does. if you are aware of some solution, would be very eager to learn

@@No_Shenanigans I tried creating a MetaQuotes-Demo account and it worked very well, maybe because the spread is small. However, if you trade on an exness standard account it is not good, I think spreads are very important for this EA. So it's best to find a floor with small spreads. Thank you

[@Trustmeplease-ko1zp]

Very interesting adviser. Thank you for everything you do for our hospital ward! Regarding other systems. I think that this algorithm could be reworked for swing trading. So that it would look for entries in the opposite direction, after breaking through the upper and lower points of the candles. The main idea is that when these zones are broken through, there is no more liquidity there, and the price often reverses in these places. It no longer makes sense for it to go further. This could work for swing trading. Only these zones should be defined on a higher time frame. Not on the one where the adviser trades. Regarding this scalper. I would really like to rework this code for mt4, but unfortunately, my knowledge is not enough for this yet. And it is not clear where to get a library for mt4, if you use it. Thanks for all!

First of all, thank you for your video ❤. Got it working and are current playing around with backtesting. The strategy is based on small profits adding up. Will commissions not eat a large part of that profit?

[@silas1820]

Never mind, I see that it is already taken into account in the backtesting. This means that finding a broker with less commission than ICM, will increase profits. My guess is that it will be quite a bit.

[@No_Shenanigans]

I would advise not to use it on commission based accounts but standard pip account. Another way to circumvent that is to increase the trigger and trail by 0.5pips to accommodate for commission

[@madvt9864]

Thanks a lot for the effort! Your back testes are based modeling on every tick, if you make it on every tick based on real ticks the results are negative. Have you tried this ea on live account?

[@No_Shenanigans]

Brother, I do not believe in either backtest. They are only indications. Real tick data is normally worse in terms of gaps and missing data and is why brokers fill in the gaps and release the other set. Forward testing is the only test which is REAL. backtest is only indication on POTENTIAL of an EA. I have tested in forward testing with further tweaks to the base code, tweaks which I will be sharing in the coming weks (are mainly more conditions on WHEN NOT TO TRADE) and it is more than 90% win rate. Returns depend on risk settings. EA does super well during trending markets, not so well during sideways movements. But overall trending periods more than compensates for sideways periods

something is wrong in the send sell order function. compilation only looks at syntax errors (for example if you miss a } or ) or misspell a variable). MQL cannot look at logical error (e.g. if you say SL = entry - sl for sellorder mql cannot figure that in case of a sell the sl is a bigger number so it sould be sl - entry. Those types of errors MQL cannot figure. Check the codes for finding low and then sendsellorder function. there is some logical error there. hope this helps

I thought the drawdown of risking 2% per trade meant a loss not above 21

As the balance grows from 1k to say 5k, the loss value despite remaining 2% will also grow. 2% of 5k will be 100$. Second case can be during news if there is huge slippage. but i guess what you are referrring to is the first case. hope this explains

if the coding is correct, then is broker issue. Some brokers do not allow trailing stoplosses so close to the price. test on ICMarkets and if it still doesn't work then we know is a coding issue, in which case copy paste your Trailstop function here in comment and I can take a quick look.

Hi, one more question. Does it work if my broker only allows a leverage of 1:30? In Australia, brokers are not allowed to have leverage of 1:500.

[@No_Shenanigans]

Yes, brother as long as you keep you the risk percentage to the correct setting. If you put too much risk then the lot size might be too big for the leverage allowed, but 2% should easily work. EA doesn't open too many trades at the same time and the positions are closed quickly. 1:30 should not be an issue.

[@johnsisindisir378]

This robot has amazing results thanks for sharing it with us, but I have an issue about adjusting lot size, could you please explain how I can adjust lot size.

[@No_Shenanigans]

Make these changes 1. Add enum and fixed lot variable at the beginning of the variable section (before the Riskpercent = 2 variable) enum LotType{Fixed=0, RiskPct=1}; input LotType LotSizeType = 0; // Type of Lotsize (fixed or %) input double FixedLotSize = 0.01; // Fixed lot size (if Selected) input double RiskPercent = 2; // Risk in % on each trade (if selected) 2. Change the executeBuy and executeSell function to below (i.e. include an if statement to check if user has selected Fixed lot size instead of Risk%) void executeBuy(double entry){ double ask = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_ASK); if(ask > entry - OrderDistPoints * _Point) return; double tp = entry + Tppoints * _Point; double sl = entry - SlPoints*_Point; double lots = FixedLotSize; if(LotSizeType==1){ if(RiskPercent > 0) lots = calcLots(entry-sl); } datetime expiration = iTime(_Symbol,Timeframe,0) + ExpirationBars * PeriodSeconds(Timeframe); trade.BuyStop(lots,entry,_Symbol,sl,tp,ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED,expiration); } void executeSell(double entry){ double bid = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol,SYMBOL_BID); if(bid < entry + OrderDistPoints * _Point) return; double tp = entry - Tppoints * _Point; double sl = entry + SlPoints*_Point; double lots = FixedLotSize; if(LotSizeType==1){ if(RiskPercent > 0) lots = calcLots(sl-entry); } datetime expiration = iTime(_Symbol,Timeframe,0) + ExpirationBars * PeriodSeconds(Timeframe); trade.SellStop(lots,entry,_Symbol,sl,tp,ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED,expiration); }

Thanks brother, but that will change the entire EA. How do we know that the next trade is not going against us as well? so we stick with the strategy. Recovering immediately when the loss happens is a slippery slope. we trade the same way despite loss and over time if the strategy is profitable there would be more profit than loss. hope this helps

This is amazing, thanks so much for the content! So how does it perform live? I guess the spreads can be the factor that tilts the strategy into becoming unprofitable, am I correct?

[@No_Shenanigans]

Scalping requires very tight spreads.. on my broker I have between 0.3-0.6 pips spread on EURUSD GBPUSD and USDJPY. Anything above 0.5pips will make any scalping operation difficult

[@SimenStaabyKnudsen]

@@No_Shenanigans I am using IC markets which I believe is the same you’re using? They have very good spreads 👍

[@No_Shenanigans]

Yes, didn't wanna say as it will look like i am promoting. They indeed are very good. I suppose your account is linked to an IB partner for reduction in normal spreads. If it is, then the range on EURUSD and USDJPY would be below 0.5. GBPUSD maybe around 0.6.

How about in 0.7 spread what adjustment can you suggests on the settings?

0.7 is borderline so should still work. higher spreads bring the win rate down. No setting changes can change that.

[@No_Shenanigans]

it doesn't matter where the server is based. Is what time is set on the server. You can see that by looking at the time on the chart and compare it to GMT. my broker's server is also in NY, but his server time is set as GMT+2. Then you can convert that to what time the London session starts and start the trading 1 hour before to give EA time to place orders.. and close when the NY session is about to close (say 2 hours before) as the market starts to die down. hope this helps.

[@No_Shenanigans]

Thanks brother and yes. Real tick data is normally missing pieces and is why sbrokers release the tick data set by completing through normalisation. End of the day, both are just data set and can only be indicative. The real test is forward testing in a demo account on a chart for a month or 2 and seeing how the EA performs and fine tune in terms of when to trade and when not as well as risk. This is the base code.. there are a lot of small additional parameters that I have written and will share in subsequent videos to fine tune it even more. Hope this helps

I would rather advise to look for a broker that offers really tight spreads. any broker that offers less than 0.5pips (standard account with no commission) will work. if is a commission based account, then increase the trigger and TSL by another 0.5pips to account for the commission paid. hope helps

[@singyeh99]

Has anyone tried on demo yet? I think the secret to the success to this EA is the tight Trailing Stop. I've tested my own simple breakout EA with similar TS on demo yesterday (Friday 4th Oct 24) and I got the best results ever even on a demo. But much to my dismay, when I compared it to the backtest result on the same day, it was very close to the Real Tick data. The Tick data shows about double the profit of the demo results while the Real Tick data is somewhere 10-20% below the Demo results, which is still a good sign in my opinion. Moving forward, I'm planning to test on 2 demo acc. First with the optimized parameters using the Real Tick data, and the 2nd would be optimized parameters using the Tick data. The parameters that I would be optimising would be the TS and the time of day to trade. I will share the results in this comment section and in the meantime would appreciate if you guys could share your results here too.
