Hi Pitso, if you mean to start strategy in the tester and see multiple charts side by side being used. Then you just use another timeframe in any of functions using data chart. If you mean to trade two separate tf on separate charts with one strategy on one account. You need to open manually both of them and attach EA separately. If this was not your question, please provide more details.

@Pitso Maoba oh sorry for misunderstanding. I have no experience with creating charts, but it is possible to draw them by yourself in the dialog. But it may not be easy. Please see the "draw anything" Rene video > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s043Hu2CquY After a bit of googling I've got some forum with this topic. As I understand there is a third-party software module for MT5. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/1116888-seconds-charts-timeframe-for-mt5 I suggest choosing by yourself approach.
Gathering chart data :)
Hi since I would like to test my EAs on the best quality data I've found some issues while looking for them. Ok if the current broker doesn't supply you with the data you want, you can always get another broker with the symbols you want and use its demo :D FINE But there is an option of creating a Custom symbol in MT5 which can easily and nicely "borrow" whole symbols between brokers for testing purposes :) Nice, but none of my highlighted brokers had M1 for WTI USOOIL before 2021. This M1 candle is my approach to test strategies that use Trailing Stoplosses and switches between intervals to check its indicators data. Ok, there is the Stooq > provides only D1 candles Ok, there is https://forexsb.com/historical-forex-data > but M1 data starts in 2023 - 04 :( Ok, you can download them from TradingView > only data on the chart, with limitations you can only get like 2 years back. Any other option to gather M1 candle chart data for WTI UsoUsd?

@René Balke will do, thanks
Best Brokers
I would be highly interested in exchanging experiences with brokers. Just checked the conversation, so far there is no thread about this. I trade with TradeNation. Who are you all trading with and are there any brokers to definitely avoid and which ones do you recommend, especially in terms of regulation and smooth payouts?

Hi, I was trading with Klimex Capital Markets since they stopped working :D I've been with TradeQuo ICMarkets AXI PurpleTrading InstaForex what can I say :D big deal changes between them were mainly in provided account types—ones with a big spread and low commission OR low spread and big commissions. Another thing is minimal depo minimal withdrawal amount minimal time for support to respond silly EA obstacles on broker side is a transaction server sustainable (you know, when there is a lot of movement in the market few brokes magically drop connections from clients accidentally) I would not want to pick the best broker from upon list. This are my keypoints of checking. For now I am using simultonausly ICMarkets and TradeQuo

@Tarik El Bouyahyani before I start trading I do a small depo, withdrawal, another depo, few transactions withdrawal and after that, I start with small depo and ea. To see how it's going;-) Tradequo from November 22 and ICMarkets 4 months. I am pretty happy with these two, even if Tradequo had sucky reviews and opinions on the web. They had some kind of default off policy for ea so you need to contact support in order to start. But, it worked fine once started.
Index, commodity or currency
Hi guys, what are favorite symbols for automated trading? It seems that Renè mostly runs his strategies on currency pairs. Even it would be great for my own diversification, but all my strategies do not run so we'll compared to indices. The US100/Nasdaq100 is always outstanding. It would be interesting to know if someone made exactly the opposite experience. I can imagine that all those martingale and grid systems work better with currencies because they are less trending.

Hi Manuel :D I prefer very long runs on symbols what I do in my strategy optimization, since the same strategy can behave differently in separate symbols or separate timeframes I stick to the most common symbols, my strategies are mostly played on H1 / H4 And so far looking for a good data provider since running tests will tell you that history data is below 80% I don't have that kind of data. My most recent strategy is well-tested upon only 4 of mentioned currencies and only XAUUSD from commodities. This is enough for me because on history my optimization so far gives me around 15% year by year. As Einstein said, compounding interest is the eighth wonder of the world. I basically do a quick step test with only 1000 sets of data combinations to test to see a sweet spot, and if the strategy is doing well in this particular symbol/pair. If no, skip, if yes continue to be more precise nearer the sweet spot ;) see if the test is not over-optimized and give it a try at different times and see equity curve if is not just luck and so on :P What I understand from your system conclusion. Try to give it another option of lot sizing. My strategies started with the static lot (silly), then I tried with lot sized by equity (better) then I started to make SL a % of an account balance. Long story short is all about the sizing, indices/commodities gave you a great move and can result in a great win. But having a stable strategy with tight SL with % of an account balance gives you the same on currencies. If only brokes out there would give us 1:100 like good old times:) What are the major currencies for 2019 Q2: Currencies: EUR/USD - 24% (of all transactions in forex) USD/JPY - 13% GBP/USD - 9.6% AUD/USD - 5.4% USD/CAD - 44% USD/CHF - 3 5% EUR/GBP - 2% NZD/CHF - %? (not in the survey but still considered as mayor) Most traded others: Commodities: WTI NATGAS XAUUSD SILVER COPPER Indicies: DJ30 SP500 DAX40 NIKKEI225 NASDAQ100 FTSE100 E50
Need recommendation of PC
I have some Eas that i have already coded but never got into second phase (Optimization). In my current laptop optimization of 16k inputs from 2013 till today takes more than 250 hours. i want to build a pc that can take max 50 hours for such optimizations. kindly recommend me the pc specs so i can build up my pc and start optimizing my Eas to work on Live accounts or fund accounts. AMD processors are recommended as they are good at multicore performance

I am in the same position Bro :) If the current PC / lap suits your everyday needs and the only reason for a platform upgrade is the EA optimization. You should definitely try cloud computing. I never did that either because i got plenty of old Pc / laps connected in my house :D they are my local computing cloud and it's enough. What I would like to tell you aside from that. 16k steps is quite a big chunk. Have you tried to dig a little into the strategy optimalisation Because: * you can try to test with huge steps to only find areas to fine-tune into * you can separately test features that are not correlate of your EA * you can use a slow (all options) or fast generic approach (only a part will succeed in another phase) to get results fast and try to distinguish where your EA is great And yeah, I was researching AMD vs Intel and 7950X3D has a better overall view of what can be done with Strategy Optimalisation than the newest Intel platforms due to P and E cores. Since it's plenty of money to spend :D I am waiting for Intel 14Gen.
