Hello, Rene. Two advises: 1. Try to optimize your expert (#1) and create another expert (#2), which will use a few settings of #1 simultaniously. The point is to find a few different settings which can conplement each other (compare recovery factor of each setting of #1 with combine setting of #2); 2. Try to use custom optimization criterion to find most number of months with profit;
i have learnt from your Master class and wrote my own range breakout ea with my own style and params. thank you so much afford for teaching :D Learn from you few months and i got the concept for those strategry. Do not think too complex, the market is niether bullist or bearish...just find a positions to let it growth and do the best effort for the Risk control.
Looks ok. The most important parameters for me are the drawdown in % and the Sharpe ratio, so that the equity curve becomes smooth. Several unrelated algos also help smoothing the curve. The best algos of mine have a Sharpe ratio at about 10, but that is pretty rare. Looking at your win-loss-rate, they're almost the same. So what you can do is to include another filter to increase the win rate.

Dear Rene, again a great and informative video. Thank you for that. I was wondering if you are using the same risk and lotsize logic for the RangeBreak in the 50K account? I have the impression that in the 50K account, lotsize does not vary much, but in this video lotsize they do. Can you please elaborate, thanks, JB
Hi Rene thanks for sharing your work, just a question, which is a minimum size of average trade for you on forex? Because I saw in optimization not over 50$ if I saw well, can it contain all the costs? Thanks
you mean average profit trade? greater than 0 would be good ;) but besides this i do not care too much about this number. also i think costs are already included but i am not sure about this.
Yes avg profit trade, yes I don’t know if the costs are included but probably they are I will check it, and I imagine that the reason why you don’t see avg trade is also because you tried to reduce spread with entry timing as you explained, because for example I’ve bias strategies that work overnight where the spread is really significant for me and I have to keep avg trade above certain thresholds.
René, please can you help me understand the benefits of your strategy over simply holding the Dax in a tax efficient investment account? the DAX performed roughly 99.5% return over the same period as tested here, if we invested this money here in the index, €50,000 x 1.995 = €99,750 which is outperforming most of the returns given by this optimization.

Broooo why this comment has 450 likes? :D:D thanks for the comment these are actually nice ideas
I think this is some kind of mistake))

Your Range breakout EA and pick of instruments just legendary. Didn`t know its possible at all)).

I am almost watching your videos from the start. Real appreciate the way you explain everything openly.
Please keep making videos ❤
If the trades run 20 pips in profit for example , it should place the SL to BE. Would be great if that options is added

Hi Rene, your video makes perfect sense to me.
Hi René! What are the specs for a computer in order to make these optimizations on algorithms?
Hi Rene, i have never seeing you making a "walk-forward-analysis". Is there a reason for that?

Hey, yes there is a reason. I do not understand the benefit of it :D
One hateful thing about the tester is the lack of the cross! It would be handy to have it!

yes i use the same logic
Thanks for the informative video.
do you have tutorial this range breakout
Yes it is part of my course: en.bmtrading.de/mt5-masterclass/
On MT5 there is no how set spread for testing? Is it included into historical bar?
If you use tick data it is stored for every tick
And for 1 minute bar?

Hey rene, could I ask what timezone is your broker in? Thanks
Gmt+2 or 3 depends on dst

Just leverage. Besides this there is no benefit.
Mit einem multiplikator nach einem verlorenen trade 1,1 oder 1,2 wäre der Ea noch sehr viel profitabler denke ich werde das mal erstellen lassen
ja da kann man viel ausprobieren! viel spaß beim testen :)
