Backtesting and Optimization

Please, do all your tests in the MetaTrader 5!
There are full ticks history available “from the box”, no “synchronization errors” and powerful
multi-threaded optimization in MetaTrader 5.
To test the EA, connect your MT5 to the broker you want to trade with (different brokers have
different quotes history!), open StrategyTester, select symbol, time interval, modelling mode,
adjust EA settings and press the Start button.
Modelling mode
● If TrailingStop and BreakEven disabled, and StopLoss/TakeProfit/Step size are
bigger than average M5 bar, you can use “1 minute OHLC” mode,
● Otherwise, please use “Every tick based on real ticks” mode.

Commission size (in account currency per lot) for all calculations in the
EA (including BE level, current profit, etc).
Custom commission Overrides real commission size. Can be used for MT5 accounts with
(starting from v2.27) commission taken on opening and closing to help the EA calculate
current profit correctly.
Set 0 to use real commission size.

Lot
Lot size calculation type (applies to first trade in each series):

● Fixed lot: lot is fixed and regulated by Lot size parameter
● Risk per trade: deal closed by SL will damage the account by
a specified % of balance. Percent is regulated by the Lot risk
% parameter. This mode will work correctly only with disabled
martingale and enabled StopLoss!
● Margin percent use: lot calculates to use specified % of
margin. Percent is regulated by the Lot risk % parameter.
● Fixed size per 1000: lot size is specified for every 1000 units of
Lot type your account balance. For example, with Start lot = 0.1 you’ll
(starting from v2.10) have:
○ for balance $2000: 0.2 lots
○ for balance $1980: 0.1 lots (only 1 full thousand is
available)
○ for balance $700: 0.01 lots (min lot used because
balance size < 1000)
○ for balance 112 342: 11.20 lots
● Fixed size per 1000 USD: the same as Fixed size per 1000,
but converted to USD. So, if your account is in EUR or GBP
you’ll have a greater lot.

If false:
● skips all buy signals (first and martingale) when sell is opened,
● skips all sell signals (first and martingale) when buy is opened.
If there are X sell trades opened and buy signal appears, lot for the new
buy order will be calculated using these parameters.

● Last opposite lot mode: lot for the first buy will be calculated
as “lot of last sell-order * Increase lot coefficient”
● Sum opposite lots mode: lot for the first buy will be calculated
as “sum lot of all sell-orders * Increase lot coefficient”
Set Increase hedge lot after order = 0 to disable this feature.
Open buy position immediately after sell-order #X is opened without any

other signal. The same for sells.
Starting from v2.30, it always opens like market-order (even if Pending
enter is enabled).
Auto-hedge after order Starting from v2.32, hedge-order can be opened several times (with any
(starting from v2.25) new main order). Max number of hedges is limited by Max auto-hedge
orders number parameter.
Auto-hedge order can be opened within 60 seconds after main order

opening.

Close with main series Set true to close hedge-series with the main series.
(starting from v2.32) Set false to leave the hedge-series open (it will be managed by
(removed in v2.33) individual rules).
Global account properties
Global Account TrailingStop (starting from v2.34)
Equity Trailing Stop (in account currency / in % from account balance).

Activates when profit of all opened positions (with all magic numbers,
opened by any EA or manually) reaches some value. Follows new
equity highs. Closes all opened positions when equity rolls back by the
same value.
For example, if you start with $1000 and set GA TrailingStop (account
currency) = 35, trailing is activated when equity becomes $1035. If
equity continues to grow, trailing follows. Let’s say equity becomes
$1095 and then go down. EA closes all positions when equity is $1060
(1095 - 35).
GA TrailingStop
Be careful — other EAs can't cooperate with CP EA correctly, so you

have a small chance of new positions opening before all positions are
closed by GA TS (in case of new opening signal of another EA happens
simultaneously with GA TS). So, please, test your EAs on
demo-accounts first.
Don’t activate this option for several EAs, you need to activate it only
once!
Set 0 to disable GA TrailingStop.
Global Account TakeProfit (starting from v2.31)
Profit of all opened positions (with all magic numbers, opened by any
EA or manually) that should be closed as soon as it is reached.

Set 0 to disable.
Global Account TargetProfit (starting from v2.31)
Target profit for the entire account. EA will close all positions when the
target level is reached. Then the target level will be moved by the
TargetProfit size (to the next level). Thus, EA will close positions every
X dollars earned. Restarts if all positions are closed (starting from
v2.34).
For example, if you start with $1000 and set GA TargetProfit = 25, EA
closes all positions as soon as equity becomes $1025, then at $1050,
$1075, $1100, and so on. Equity will not be exactly rounded to the
TargetProfit size because of price moves, slippages and execution
GA TargetProfit speed. So, progression could be like 1000 - 1026 - 1050 - 1074 - 1110.

Volatility for all parameters nominated in points

What is a "point" in CP?
Starting from v2.31, you can set "Volatility for all parameters nominated in points", as
well as limit volatility min and max size:
9
Then you can set "calculation mode" for any parameter to "Coefficient to Volatility":
In this example, TrailingStop size will be calculated as "Current ATR * 1.5", Trailing Step will
be "ATR * 0.1".
You can set "calculation mode" for the following parameters:

● Pending entry: Distance to order and Cancel after distance
● StopLoss size
● TakeProfit size
● Min profit to close on signal
● Martingale Step size
● Anti-martingale Step size
● Anti-StopLoss size
● TrailingStop size
● Trailing Step
● Start trailing after
Indicator used for the Volatility calculation.

Can be one of the following:
● ATR
Volatility Indicator
● StDev
● ATR based on “Close-Open” (high and low prices not used)
● WATR
● (don’t use Volume mode for this block!)
TimeFrame and Period TimeFrame and Period of volatility indicator
Min and Max volatility Indicator value will be limited by these Min and Max values defined in
10
to use (points) points (What is a "point" in CP?) For example, if current StDev value is
0.00203 (20.3 points for EURUSD), and you set Min volatility to use =
25, EA will use 25 points as volatility size (and TrailingStop with
coefficient to volatility = 1.5 will be 25 * 1.5 = 37.5 points (not 20.3 * 1.5
= 30.45).
Set 0 to disable the limit.
Pending Entry
(starting from v2.09) (updated in v2.18)
Type of Pending entry:

● Pending entry disabled: first deal will be opened by market.
● Entry with STOP order: buy-stop / sell-stop orders will be set

on signal.
● Entry with LIMIT order: buy-limit / sell-limit orders will be set
on signal.
Distance from the current price to the pending order.

Distance to order
If Extremum bars > 0, pending order open price will be based on the
price extremum (instead of current price):
● Buy-stop and sell-limit orders will be set on “Highest price of
Extremum bars
last Extremum bars + Distance to order”,
● Sell-stop and buy-limit orders will be set on “Lowest price of
last Extremum bars - Distance to order”.
Trailing mode for pendings:

● Disabled: pendings will not be moved
● Trail on signal: pendings will be moved only while signal is
active (oscillator in zone, filters allow this direction, etc.)
● Trail always: pendings will be moved till cancelation or
Trail pendings mode execution.
Order level calculates using Distance to order and Extremum bars

parameters and order moves to the new level only if the new level is
better than the previous one (lower — for buy-stops and sell-limits, or
higher — for sell-stops and buy-limits).
Cancel on opposite

TakeProfit reduce size and coefficient for every order in series.

If enabled, TP for each next order in the series will be reduced by
specified “reduce size”. This size will be also multiplied by “reduce
coefficient” for each next stage too.
For example, with TakeProfit = 50, reduce size = 10 and reduce coeff =
1.1 you will have the following series:
Reduce TP for every ● For the 1st deal TP will be = 50 points
order: ● For 2 deals: 50 - 10 = 40
- Reduce size, ● For 3 deals: 50 - 10*1.1 = 29
- Reduce coefficient, ● For 4 deals: 50 - 10 - 10*1.1 - 10*1.1*1.1 = 16.9
- Min TakeProfit size ● For 5 deals: 50 - 10 - 10*1.1 - 10*1.1*1.1 - 10*1.1*1.1*1.1 = 3.6
(starting from v2.11) ● And so on (-11 for 6 deals, -27.2 for 7 deals)
TakeProfit can’t be less than Min TakeProfit size (points) (What is a

"point" in CP?).
For example, if you set Min TakeProfit size = 20, for all deals from the
last example, starting from 4th TP will be = 20 (16.9 is less than 20, so
will be replaced).

Partial close
Close some orders in the same direction (the last one and the first one,
for example) if they sum profit is big enough (>= Min profit to close),
the series is long enough (orders number >= Close partial after order

Be careful, EA will reopen the last martingale order if the series is not
totally closed, and lots will continue to increase.
Percent of losing order that can be closed with profit by Partial close.

Entry strategy
You can set up opening of the first deal:

● by one or more individual signals/filters,
● by several signals/filters showing the same direction,
● by several signals/filters showing the same direction or just
confirming it (not showing the opposite one).
If Open on Individual signal mode is selected for any signal, a deal is

opened by this signal any time it happens. So, it is an independent
signal for opening.
You can set several individual signals, and deals will be opened on
"Open on" parameter
each signal.
for each filter
In Open on Collective signal mode all selected “Collective” signals
must show the same direction to open the deal. Individual signals are
ignored for this set of signals (but continue to work individually).
Open on Collective signal (neutral signals accepted) mode works

like previous, but selected filters/signals should just not show the
opposite direction to allow the opening. For example, if Stochastic
Inside zone signal selected with Levels 70/30, Collective signal will
allow BUY if Stochastic <= 30, but Collective neutral signal — if
Stochastic < 70 (will disable BUYs if Stoch >= 70).
You can set up the opening of the martingale deals in the same way as
the first deals opening. Signals for martingale deals can differ from
"Open martin on"
signals for the first deals.

If all “Open martin on” parameters are set to “Don't use for open”,
martingale deals are opened without any signal (but taking into account

"Open hedge on"

filter
20
You can set up closing by individual signal/filter or by several filters

showing the same signal. Both modes can be used with "in profit only"
option.
For example, you can set Oscillator signal, TDI and MA filters, and
"Close on" parameter
close deals in profit on opposite MA signal or on opposite Oscillator +
for each filter
TDI signal with or without profit. To do this, set "Close on = Individual
signal, in profit only" for MA filter and "Close on = Collective signal" for
Oscillator and TDI.
Close signal — is an opposite signal of the filter. So, buy will be closed
when the filter allows sell opening.
Starting from v2.21, if all signals are disabled (or none of “Open on” parameters are
enabled), EA will trade both ways. So, you can open both buy and sell on the same bar and
just manage them with trailing, martingale, or any other option.

Known issues
1. I’ve installed and launched the EA as described above. Is it working?
Yes, it is. Just check the smile in the right upper corner of the chart.
2. So when I launch the EA it automatically already has the indicators built in, right?
Yes, all indicators are built into EA. You don’t need to install anything else.
3. Stochastic/RSI levels after the test differs from Signal levels in the EA settings.
What’s wrong?
These are just indicator draw settings, EA can’t change them. But EA works correct
(with signal levels you’ve set), just check signals.
4. Should I drag all indicators to the chart while EA is working?

No, you shouldn’t.
5. EA doesn’t open any trades! I see only “Trade by experts is disabled!” and “ERROR
#133 (trade is disabled)” messages in the expert log.
This is a restriction from your broker. Ask your broker to allow trading by EAs or
change your broker.
6. Can’t load EA (Error #4200)
To use templates with ea attached:

○ Launch and configure the ea
○ delete all objects from chart (including hidden objects)
○ save the template
○ Then you can load this template to any chart

How to support the project?
There are several options for those who want to support the CommunityPower — leave your
review on the market page, become a patron, open an account using my IB link, etc.
Details are on the community forum.
Recommended brokers
You can trade with any broker you want.
But results can differ because of trading conditions (spread, commission, slippages, etc.)
and different quotes (yep, even on the same instrument).
A list of good reliable brokers I trade with is on the community forum.
Brokers with cent accounts (for the grid set or for a small budget) are here.
Use my IB-links for registration and you’ll have better trade conditions (commission
discount, lower spread, etc).
Recommended VPS
CommunityPower EA is not a high frequency EA, so you can launch a terminal with the EA
on your PC at home. But if you want to reach the best results (low slipages, fast execution),
or just don’t want to take risk of electricity and/or internet connection loss, select VPS server
and run terminal with EA 24/7 with 100% uptime and best possible ping to broker server.
A list of recommended VPS providers is on the community forum.
