Thank you!
I loaded up the currency strength alerts indicator and it’s not updating with the rolling timeframe option enabled. Same with the option enabled on Orcus.
I’m posting a screenshot with reference to another indicator that rolls the H1 timeframe as well. Idk if the calculations are incorrect or if it’s just a matter of it not updating because of the weekend. If you could take a peek that would be awesome!Thanks again!

Dear xux99! Thank you so much for this EA! It really does show some very promising results, both in BT and FT.
Could you please clarify one issue?
What’s the exact mechanism of entry when BTing?
If I understand correctly, in MT4, the BTing only “sees” one pair. So if the latter is correct, then the FT will show a different result for the same pair, because its entry mechanism considers many pairs. But what if I BTed a certain pair and really loved the result! What if I wanted to get exactly the same type of entry mechanism when FT?

There is the “ExcludedPairs” option. Type there all the other 27 pair names seperated by commas.

Thanks for the answer! I tried what you’re suggesting and compared with the BT and I get a completely different result. Moreover, I tried to erase the other pairs from inside the code (so that it actually acts like in the BT – forcing it not being able to compare to all the other pairs), and strangely the BT result still differs from the FT. How can I make the FT act like the BT? Is this possible?

I am afraid it is not possible. Try to use high quality data to achieve the most reliable backtest results.

Got it. Anyway, FT is more exciting!

Could you help with another issue?
The News Filter on my side sends this error. Attaching a screen pic. I guess http://forexfactory.com/ffcal_week_this.xml doesn’t work anymore.
Thanks!
P.S. Unable to upload the screen pic. The alert says “FFCal error – Web page download was not complete”. It keeps sending this alert all the time.
<b>Update: I’ve uploaded a new updated FFCal (https://www.mql5.com/en/code/15931) and changed the string sUrl to (http://cdn-nfs.faireconomy.media/ff_calendar_thisweek.xml) It seems to work and even places a news panel on chart, but there seems this strange bug to happen. When News Filter is true, the EA seems to act as if the current time is the time of the news, therefore disabling trades forever. For example if the current time is 13:00, it shows a red string on chart that says “<current date> 12:50 to <current date> 13:10”. The latter moves with the time and no trades ever happen as long as the News Filter = true. </b>

Hi, xux99
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
Would it be possible to change the EA so that instead of:
setting the “Strength Limit” and “Weakness Limit”
we could set a difference between two currencies?
Let’s suppose that we would set the “difference” at 4.
GBP could be at 6.4 and JPY at 2.4, the difference between them would be enough to open a position.
Or GBP at 7.2 and JPY at 3.2 and so on.
Thanks!
