Description & Settings
Cheftrader*
Description:
A framework to build and test systems, which use stop-Orders to enter a position. Pending orders and postions are handled based on a daily system. The entry logik (STP-value calculation) can be easily changed in the mqh-file.
Further features:
- risk management, enable/disable trailing stop
- money management, determine positions size depending on account profit
- kill pending orders at a dedicated time (hour)
- close positions after a dedicated duration since opening
- filter methods to be used for optimization (e.g. trade results for different days of the week)
- send significant equity changes via mail
Recommendations:
Optimize long and short parameters separatly (e.g. side=-1)
Start with a simple idea: e.g. place sell-stop at yesterdays low (sample in mqh-file)
Test and optimize with lotsize 0.1, without money- and risk management (maxLot=0.1). Advantage: Payoff in tester is scaled in pips
Begin testing with automatic close of position after 1hour or another duration/live time of position (closetimeperiod = 3600)
If your entry approach works, skip duration based close of position and optimize risk management parameters (SL, TP, SLslope)
Test if your system is stable on dedicated days of the week: E.g. set dayfilter to 1 - only on mondays stp-entry orders are placed.
Finally test money management (maxLot, PercentOfProfit)
