Topic: Problems and questions with the strategy

Hello,

I've created a strategy but when trading it shows extremely bad results while testing shows profit.

Strategy is attached and here are the questions:
1. I am using ALF indicator for closing, but I don't see indicators chart, because it's crashing.
2. I trade on M5 period. FSB doesn't open more than 1 trade in 5 minutes, however it can open multiple when connected to MT4.
3. One of the problems with testing is that I have no idea if the order was closed by TP or indicator. Looking on optimization results, closing indicator makes a huge change to the performance, but in real trading all trades are closed by TP.

Please help.

Thank you.

You omitted the strategy

My 'secret' goal is to push EA Studio until I can net 3000 pips per day....

Re: Problems and questions with the strategy

Hello Sanny,

I confirm that the Indicator Chart crashes. The most probable reason is the ALF indicator, because when I replace it with another, the chart works.
I'll check why the chart crashes. Unfortunately I cannot help with the indicator at the moment.

Re: Problems and questions with the strategy

ALF indicator is set to plot a line on the main price chart, however its values are very far from the price values.

It is obvious that these values are wrong.
