Topic: eurusd 1min simply_ma_wtf - problem with generator

Hi Gurus,

using that post:

http://forexsb.com/forum/topic/2438/wider-time-frame-wtf-indicators/ 

I have created a strategy using idea of our forum friend  acerguest


This is the screen with this strategy:

http://s9.postimage.org/5xf9mfc27/strategy_screen.jpg

Like You see to test my problem You have to install WTF`s indicators, which You can find here:

http://forexsb.com/forum/misc.php?actio … download=1

The problem is that I cant generate "JOURNAL by POSITIONS WITHOUT TRANSFERS".

I have clicked Generator and in the new window I have Locked my settings, just like on the picture bottom:

http://s18.postimage.org/ti1ld5fd5/strategy_screen_1.jpg

I have tried to click button "Generate" but ist not working. I hear only simply voice that something is wrong with this strategy. How to debug it ?

In the attachment You can find acerguest strategy.


Would be great if somebody could tell me how to generate all potential trading operations.

To export positions without transfer go to Export menu.
Generator is to develop strategy, in your case it is not working because you locked everything.

Re: eurusd 1min simply_ma_wtf - problem with generator

togr: Hmmm... In the documentation I have read that first You have to lock all Your strategy settings, otherwise Generator will try to generate all possible scenarios. For me its important that I can generate data(Positions without transfers) only for my settings.

Export option doesnt work for me at all. I would like to see potential trades based on historical data ofcourse using my settings(only). But generator doesnt want to generate it.



In the attachent You can see Exported file... nothing is there...

Dlugi, you have no trades?

Togr is absolutely correct about the generator, you have locked all slots and more slots to be used are not allowed also, therefore it won't generate anything.

I have tested with locked and unlocked slots... Nothing... I have no trades...

You have my strategy file. Please, tell me what should I do know to generate trades...


1. open strategy file
2. Click Generator
3. click generate...

or should I click something else ?

Re: eurusd 1min simply_ma_wtf - problem with generator

No-no, the problem of no trades lies in the strategy! Conditions are not met for opening a position. Remove previous bar closing and see what difference it makes.

I`m wandering why its working on demo account and doesnt work on FSB... What should I do know ? What should I insert instead of "Previous bar closing" ?

Re: eurusd 1min simply_ma_wtf - problem with generator

Insert whatever you can click, try them all, you'll see the result straightaway!

Its working...  Sorry for problems... in the "Strategy properties" was 20.00 lots with deposit 100$

I have changed 20.00 lots to 0.01 and its working like a charm.


Thaaanks for Your help and support smile)))
