- Fractal-BOut-EURUSD-1H-Ro2 is correct with REINVEST=0 (should you set it to 1, you’d have to remove P from the final SETs or change the SL & TP calculations at lines 38-39 by adding * POINTSIZE
- Fractal-BOut-EURUSD-1H-Ro3 is correct in ALL cases, provided you remove the P in the final SETs, since all SL’s & TP’s are now expressed in price difference rather than pips. With REINVEST=0 it is exactly the same as the file above, but after removing P it should be preferred since it will work with ANY instrument
As Nicolas pointed out, POINTSIZE/PIPSIZE is not necessary with instruments where the ratio price to pip is 1 (like Dax), but necessary when it is 10000 (like currencies). To make code ALWAYS work, use POINTSIZE/PIPSIZE whenever possible and let ProOrder do the math.
Have fun GraHal with your toys (you can still use your grandchildren’s, occasionally)!

I prefer TP’s greater than SL’s and found out that changing them to
12TakeProfit = 70 * pipsize //changeStopLoss = 40 * pipsize //changegrants better results.

In version Ro3 there are multiple trades where it is months in position.
Version Ro3 is flawed for the reasons Roberto states re TGL / TGS etc … this brings the Take Profit down to near zero and so the strategy stays in for weeks / months until it gets back to a small profit. Correct me if I have it wrong and you see it different?
(the downside is that over those weeks / months, trades going the other way may be missed!?)
I did not understand the code / strategy, but I do now after me going to sleep thinking over Roberto explanation. This does help I find as one’s brain works on it overnight and I wake understanding it better. Thank you Roberto for being patient and explaining two ways.
I apologise for confusion due to me … playing with my toys (as Roberto put it! 🙂 🙂 ).
When I can’t get a strategy understood in my head (often due to numerous loop backs in the code? ) then I make a change (logical / semi-logical) and check results difference and try and suss out the reasons why. My trial and error method resulted in version Ro3.
I hope other less than expert coders can learn from the contributors of the last 12 posts or so? If nothing else, my questions have revived this Thread / Strategy and it can be seen as very robust and well worth further tests on different Instruments / Markets and Timeframes.
Many Thanks

Hi Morgan, please update your country flag in your profile 🙂
Plateauing, but not losing! It is usually a sign to make a new optimization, because market has changed its behavior in the last periods and it was not expected by how the strategy was designed.
