Backtesting

The funny thing is that I did not change anything on both computers, and all of a sudden optimization is woking OK now.

What could it possibly be?

How do you add the screenshots?

I did not figure out how to post the screens.

email notifications

If I don't want them (like when I am testing something with a lot of small orders) how do I get rid of them?

1 derivative

By the way, is there any indicator or property which will show the first and maybe the second derivative on moving average?

Dear Panagiiotis!

I thank you very much, you are very kind. But I am very new to c#, especially to cAlgo. It must take a lot of explanation on your side how to that (It would have been for me much easier to do a complete SQL development)

So, if could explain in more details , it would be very usefull not only for me.

Otherwise let me get some more experience.

Best regards,

Alexander

BB timeframe

Thank you. It seems to be working, at list build was "OK"

Now I will have to test it. How do I test it if there is now visualisation?

To wait before the price go out of frame may take a long time ... :)

Backtesting

I am trying to not stop the order or position  manually, but when I did have the above part, when I closed position by hand, it started to generate orders, because of event

I tryied to protect against closing by Stop Loss and Take Profit

I think it was either breakeven, or trailing, which I think I now should try how to handle.  In any case, you very good, and thank's a lot.

But I will be righting to you in the future

Alexander

In my bot the position is closed when it meets a cirtain criteria

In that case I do

....

Private bool ClosedByRobot=false

...//when the criteria is met then

ClosedByRobot=true

But for the SL there is no way I could do that, even to on the server they know it

Stop Loss

Yes, I also agree with Panagiotis, there must be a direct event, which actually is somewhere, cause every time the order is filled with SL or TP I got a mail, saying that my position was close due to .... (SL or TP) was filled. I will try to make them suggestion, but will they listen?
