Hi,

Do you use a fix spread protection for all pairs the same e.g. 30 points?
Or individually for every pair? If individually how to calculate it?

Thanks,
Janek

Hi,

I prefer to backtest on MT5. But to trade with MT4. Are the strategies in MT5 and MT4 folders matches each other?

So, for Nov set, is 3339890equal to 3341450, 3339891 to 3341451, etc?

Hey Michael,

 

The EAs are identical for MT4 and MT5. When downloading them from EA Studio, we download an MT4 and MT5 version of the same strategy.

 

Cheers,

Ilan

Why is the take-profit useless in this screenshot?? What’s the point of that?

[Marin Stoyanov]

Hello Oliver,

So, from what I can understand, the take profit was placed below the opening price of the position.

There is a reason for that and probably it’s because the trend changed the robot just placed the take profit a little below the opening price.

Another reason could be the spreads, you need to check what are the spreads of the account and what does the broker offers in spreads.

Hope that helps!

If you have any more questions, let me know!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

So recently I got the xauusd trading ea’s and I saw that in properties at tp there is no tp set, my question is: do I need to put in a tp and so what is a good tp point or do they exit the trade themselves bc the eurusd bot has a tp and the gold bot did a trade, went in a good profit but it didn’t close it and a few hours later it hit the sl.

[stewart]

I already had the same problem. Why sometimes XAUUSD has TP, Sometimes TP shows 0 ?

 

[Marin Stoyanov]

Hello Dani,

The robots should have a tp point set already but in case there is not one set as you mentioned, you just need to set it manually. In my opinion, a good tp point is about 2% but this is not a recommendation. You can set your own tp point with which you are happy!

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

in the properties, these is no TP parameter to adjust ,

please check and solve it.

I use the top 3 XAUUSD.

 

[Oly]

OK, well, I think it’s a failure for me. How do I get my money back?

[stewart]

As i use Portfolio. there is no parameter to adjust the TP.

Also What is the actual TP it set for the performance  to get the top 3 EA  or top 10 EA.

Not to tell us to set TP  by ourselves.

 

[Marin Stoyanov]

Hello Stewart,

In the portfolio EA, you cannot change the tp but mostly the lot size but in the EAs the take profit parameter is set already!

If you use them individually, you can set the take profit and stop loss in the inputs as well as other inputs!

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,
Nikos

[stewart]

The EA should have TP set.

How can it get the top 3 XAUUSD EA if there is no TP parameters set.

So please you should check the TP parameters, not me to set by myself.

 

 

[stewart]

Please you download the top 3 EA XAUUSD  (monthly and weekly) by yourself and to see which one  has no TP set.
