the fact that it happened on mine and it jsut doesn't "reload" data is very concerning. AMP dude was just like log off and on ..AMP never really cares about platform issues, it's not really their problem anyway

I once had a similar issue and someone told me how to fix it.
Click on chart-->properties-->colors-->line chart: turn the color into same as your other chart bar color. The problem is when line chart color is same as background color, you will not be able to see line chart bar.So there is missing bar.
But I am not sure if yours is the same issue as mine.

The stats from your system look pretty good......Avg Trade Amt = $23.50 or thereabouts. Many more trades needed before the Sharpe Ratio is meaningful.

still working to make sure the algo/platform work properly first. it's just little mt5 nuances that i'm getting frustrated at.

it never ends :-(

still finding and working through bugs. algo supposed to trigger direct order (market) when price is at the entry level.

apparently you have to tell this retard platform that, unlike CQG platform that triggers it if price is above buy stop level...smh

So just add logic to insure your buy stop price is above the current print price....and vise versa for sells.

after a few edits on the algo, ran it for couple of days..

then found this issue where the algo is loaded, but no trades placed today on mym. it worked yesterday but not today? i'm like how is this happening?. no attempt by the algo to place trades, no errors, nothing. it was loaded and that was it. Algo worked on all other markets though

from the log, no indication the EA even bother to place trades on MYM after it was loaded. it even calculated the lot that it needed to place on the chart (text).

shaking my head really fucking hard right now...

maybe it has to do with the initialization. I basically update the date on the algo to run without actually removing/reapplying the algo to the chart. I was able to replicate the issue on demo

after resetting the algo , it finally took the trades on all markets.

also got to see the algo work as designed. Transition from a failed buy stop to a market order

feel good about the algo working as it should. Now it's just time to let it run and monitor and see what kind of real results i will get

Finished first week forward test with the latest updates. Also have been backtesting and figuring out the best risk settings to use. Definitely don't want to get caught in the curve fitting loop though.

Anyway, i'm pretty confident this algo version i'll be using going forward. Will resume weekly update

well found another error. i was experimenting with using a multiplication factor for the size on the reverse trade to test that aspect of the algo. I was testing doubling the lot. So with every order, it would set 3x lot at the reverse side (leaving with 2x since it's FIFO netting), but apparently the algo didn't do that here.

m2k intiial lot was 5, then it should reverse with 15 lots (leaving 10), then should be 30 lots (leaving 20) etc. instead of 18 lots
