Good question Pedro. Is the other version much easier to opimize?
Meanwhile, I cannot make Tickstory run on my computer. I asked a friend to try and it won't start on his computer either. Must be a bug? Is there another simple way to get tick data? I looked at Birt's tools and so far have not been able to make them work.
Thanks,
Tickstory Lite is the easiest way.
Otherwise u can use SQ Tick Data downloader, and conver the data with Tick Data Suite. The advantage of Tick Data Suite is the ability to use variable spread (real). Which make backtests much more trustworthy!
But it takes more time and learning. Anyway, i strongly recommend.

Angle indicator keeps returning 0.000
Hi guys,
Sorry to disturbed you guys again but I wrote this code and it keeps return 0.0000. All the values in CiMA signal are the same and I'm not sure why. I have a refresh function in the code I am hoping someone can help. Sorry to be annoying and thank you for help. This is one of my first every indicators and I'm trying to get the hang of it.

50pips per day on Gold using EMA 50
@Toby
I dont really use stop loss, which is a big weakness on my side.
Your chart shows the strategy works but must be finetuned.
I am still doing some research with my Matlab software and I will come out with more details on how to combine the
EMA 50 and EMA 110 to ensure more successful Gold trades.
all comments are welcomed, in fact the criticisms to the strategy will be appreciated

I can see finally Subscribers' funds:

I can understand seeing a delay in the subscribers funds, but that should have no relation to the lot sizing. Please report back when you have tested further.I can see finally Subscribers' funds:

Exports were worth NZ$3.70 billion - shy of expectations for NZ$3.73 billion and down from the downwardly revised NZ$4.40 billion in the previous month (originally NZ$4.42 billion).
Imports were at NZ$3.64 billion versus forecasts for NZ$3.94 billion following the upwardly revised NZ$4.60 billion a month earlier (originally NZ$4.58 billion).

Press review
Gold trade coming back, if you can wait 2 years (based on cnbc article)
Gold will come under further pressure over the course of the
year as the Federal Reserve moves closer to lifting rates, but
prospects for the precious metal looks far more promising in the next
few years, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"Right now, investors are not in the mood for holding gold because they see the Fed raising rates. So, I think in the next three months you'll see downside risk, $1,100 an ounce is likely," Francisco Blanch, commodities analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch told CNBC.
"But if you look out 2-3 years, things are a lot brighter for gold," he said.
Gold kicked off the year with a bang, rising around 8 percent in January. However, the yellow meal has since erased most of its gains as a stronger dollar – driven by rate hike expectations –and gains in equities dim its appeal. Spot gold last traded around the $1,210 level.
Blanch's positive longer-term outlook for gold is driven by two factors.
First, the growing phenomenon of negative-yielding bonds, which makes gold look attractive in comparison.
"There are a growing number of government bonds basically yielding zero or negative. As the number increases, I think a lot of investors are going to wonder why they are holding a liability as opposed to holding an outright asset like gold," he said.

Experts: KNUX V1.0
I have just backtested the EA using 99% modeling quality and real variable spreads (using Tick Data Suite), and the results are not as good as your backtest with fix spread at 18 pips.
But I still have an impressive performance. From 1k to more than 500k.
I am forwarding a demo test and optimizing other pairs now.
Great job and generous contribution, Ralf!
I wish you a very prosperous 2015!

Problem with checking margin
I'm coding an EA and I have a margin check within my EA to make sure I have enough margin to enter a trade. But for some reason I always get an insufficient margin, and I have no idea what's wrong. Here is my code:
//checks if we can send the order based on margin levels. bool enoughmargin(double marginlevel, //Example: if you want at least 200% margin level enter 200. double lots, //Lot size of the impending trade. string symbol){ //symbol on which we are trading. if(lots==0){ return False;} if(AccountEquity() *100 >= marginlevel * (MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_MARGINREQUIRED) * lots + AccountMargin())){ return True; } return False; } double calculateLots(string symbol, double SL, int timeframe) { if (AutoLots == False) { return Lot; } double pipsAtRisk = MathAbs(iClose(symbol,timeframe,1)-SL) / (Point*multiplier); double currencyAtRiskForOneLot = pipsAtRisk * getValueOfTick(1.0) * multiplier; double maxAccountRisk = NormalizeDouble( (AccountEquity() * (risk / 100)), 2); double calculatedLots = NormalizeDouble(maxAccountRisk / currencyAtRiskForOneLot, 2); if(!enoughmargin(minlevel, calculatedLots, symbol) && enoughmargin(minlevel, NormalizeDouble(calculatedLots/2,2),symbol)) { Print("Insufficient margin for full trade. Half position opened instead."); calculatedLots=NormalizeDouble(calculatedLots/2,2); return calculatedLots; } if(!enoughmargin(minlevel, NormalizeDouble(calculatedLots/2,2),symbol)){ Print("Insufficient margin."); return -1.0; } return calculatedLots; }

Refer to broker !
Dear Filter, Understand your points, but I am confused myself, so I think I should not make any complain against one member. Better, you just look over the link and decide what should you do, because you are more experienced better than me and your decision will be fair. Thanks a lot.

Dear Angevoyageur, minimum 2 minutes continuing laughing to see your reply, you make a great joke and I like that. Thanks.
Anyway, very profitable indicator need to be programmed here mentioned for full programming and thats on his own logic maybe, So need to create 100% new indicator, on the other hand, my one is already working and I need to add a very simple coding to use MA shift options, that;s why submitted here to get feed back from here. Lot of traders have some basic coding knowledge and they can do it easily. And only for few words coding, why should I spend min. 10$? Let me try for free help first, if no one can, then have to knock freelance sections. Thanks a lot.
