I could find but when I run backtest MT4 crashs. Is there any fix for this?Try changing a parameter value, then change it back. That seems to prevent the crash for me. I'm not sure why it crashes, but it seems to be related to the parameter settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ birt Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe What baffles me is that their live statement is looking so damn nice: [url]http://fractals4.mt4live.com/[/url] While I'm running two demo forward tests for a while that seem to be straight up losers: Fxopen (ECN) - [url]http://www.myfxbook.com/members/birt/ft/392[/url] ForexMeta - [url]http://www.myfxbook.com/members/birt/ft/393[/url] On top of that, around a certain hour, the ECN version is opening some trades and closing them immediately, basically losing the spread. If they didn't have such a nice forward test, I would've never even thought about this EA twice. Perhaps the DLL is not correctly "educated"? If anyone gets the Forex Bling package, I would very much like to take a look at the latest untouched copy of Fractals4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ birt Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe I fail to understand why your forward test has an equity curve that looks almost like theirs, while both my forward tests seem to be happily headed for the ground level. I'm using your 1.01 with the settings described in the PDF, but I don't think the version is a problem, I thought all you changed was some speed-related stuff and the backtest GMT offset, right? Anyway, thanks, I browsed back a few pages and downloaded 1.02, I'll look a bit more into it whenever I have some free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using your 1.01 with the settings described in the PDF, but I don't think the version is a problem, I thought all you changed was some speed-related stuff and the backtest GMT offset, right?I wrote all the changes at the top of the file. Version 1.01 doesn't have many changes. 1.02 has a lot of changes. The DLL did not need to be patched at all. Did you enter the correct UTC offset of the broker for the parameter Broker_OffsetHour? around a certain hour, the ECN version is opening some trades and closing them immediately, basically losing the spread.This seems to be a common problem with ECN brokers in general. e.g. icemaneu experienced it with the Dragon Pips EA: http://www.indo-investasi.com/viewtopic.php?p=51650#p51650 Did you set ECN_MarketOrder = true?

Yes, I did. This seems to be a common problem with ECN brokers in general. e.g. icemaneu experienced it with the Dragon Pips EA: http://www.indo-investasi.com/viewtopic.php?p=51650#p51650 It has to be a failure in the EA code, but I don't really wanna look for it unless I ever decide to run fractals 4 on an ECN. Did you set ECN_MarketOrder = true? Did that, too, of course only for the ECN broker. I upgraded both forward tests to 1.02, let's see if anything changes...

I probably used the broken indicators from the original and both brokers have 5 digits...In Fractals4-908b_1.02.rar you can see two versions, the original one (PivotWizard_Original.mq4) and the modified one (PivotWizard.mq4). It has been mentioned before in this thread that the PivotWizard indicator had not been programmed to handle 5 digits. The broker that I'm using is a 5 digit broker and it has been doing Ok with the modified version. I wonder though, and I've mentioned this before, whether the vendor themselves were (or still are) using the original flawed version in their backtests and forward tests. Maybe it actually doesn't make much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a quick version with removed account validation and enabled backtesting (basically, it thinks it's backtesting), get it at http://sharebee.com/bc87a70b If Hyperdimension is going to edit 909, you should use his version.

I guess the major difference is that it no longer crashes when you handle the settings... Not sure if there's anything else, haven't checked.

wvic Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe Hi, Just wondering if anyone has success with this ea? The only good forward test I can find is the developers. Also anyone have any good ea's that operate the london / new york sessions only?
