    Hi, All

    I try to backtest Parabolic SAR EA with EURUSD result not bad

    Original EA code
    https://www.mql5.com/en/code/23039
    https://www.mql5.com/en/code/download/23039/parabolic_sar_ea.mq5
    (anyone can try modify)

    I test with default setting with XM broker result is ok (good)
    but profits is not much, I need more money. I want to scale profits.

    So, I modify EA from Fix lot to Auto Risk Percent Lot
    by using standard class MoneyFixedMargin.mqh on MQL5
    I use to cut and paste code from EA using MoneyFixedMargin.mqh to replace Lot size calculate

    The first test result good on broker XM.com
    testing backtest EURUSD from 1 January this year to now (December)
    100 to 22,682
    500 to 101,005
    1000 to 132,655
    2000 to 164,358
    setting ar Risk 30% and all default setting from original

    The problem I try to another broker all backtest fail. it can not use with other broker success

    So, I test do optimization with EURUSDm broker Exness got a result (just 12 months this year)
    500 to 602,461
    1,000 to 793,616
    2,000 to 987,378

    However exness not good result it has to lose order continue 3 order (but optimize setting risk at 20% that still have a fund for trading) XM broker is a better result

    Problem EA is sensitive, all it can not copy setting to use with other brokers
    if you want to use other brokers you need to do optimization new one all again.

    I confirm each broker need to do a new one optimization.
    So, you need to optimize your own broker.

    if you share setting file .set best set from optimization result
    try share file OPT from optimization is better
    OPT file is collect all result of optimization

    (you can import file by click right on optimize result tab)
    (sorry my EA using on folder name \A3\ on Expert folder)

    from OPT file, How to choose optimization setting
    to choose LOW Drawdown only first and use NON-profits factor or high-profit factor.
    if high profits setting has high Drawdown do not use it.

    use low Drawdown is low risk
    use Blank profits factor is low risk (backtesting result is won all 100%)
    use high-profit factor is low risk (low loss)

    same all EA problem
    setting value EA for backtesting result better is can possible
    but future never know is still work good or not

    and it looks like all broker have chart data is a difference for all broker
    why all EA is faile when using different brokers.

    Desculpe eu não falar inglês, mas o minimo de negociações para você considerar uma otimização é de 100. 23 negociações é pouco para servir de base estatística. Pegue agora o mesmo set e coloque para rodar 2 anos antes do otimizado, se a curva mudar muito não está robusto o suficiente. Outro teste que você pode fazer é de otimizar até meados de 2019 apenas e rodar nos meses seguintes para ver como se sairia. Isso é o Out of sample de uma estratégia.

    In Mql5, in EAs with fix stoploss, you can use this simple code for money managment,

    input double Fixed_Lots = 0.01;
    input bool Money_Management = true;
    input double Risk_Trading = 10;
    input double Minimum_Lots = 0.01;
    input double Maximum_Lots = 10;


    double vol;
    double Id_E0 = Risk_Trading / 100;
    double Gd_13;
    double Ii_C8 = log(SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP))/ -2.30258509299405;
    if (Minimum_Lots <= SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN))
    {
    Gd_4 = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN);
    }
    else
    {
    Gd_4 = Minimum_Lots;
    }
    Id_D0 = Gd_4;
    if (Maximum_Lots >= SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX))
    {
    Gd_4 = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_VOLUME_MAX);
    }
    else
    {
    Gd_4 = Maximum_Lots;
    }
    Id_D8 = Gd_4;


    void OnTick()
    {


    Gd_13 = AccountInfoDouble(ACCOUNT_BALANCE) * AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LEVERAGE);
    Ld_98 = Gd_13 * Id_E0;
    if (Money_Management != true)
    {
    Ld_98 = Fixed_Lots;
    }
    vol = NormalizeDouble(Ld_98 / SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_TRADE_CONTRACT_SIZE), Ii_C8);
    if (Id_D0 <= vol)
    {
    vol = vol;
    }
    else
    {
    vol = Id_D0;
    } // label 000000EB
    if (Id_D8 >= vol)
    {
    vol= vol;
    }
    else
    {
    vol = Id_D8;
    }
    }

    yes, MT5 is resulted better.
    I try to code on MT4 same condition trade but MT4 can not calculate like MT5
    Some setting on MT5 EA it is using multi timeframe, I test on M1 (1 minute) timeframe and working indicator on setting using 30 minute timeframe, on MT4 can not working well and can't backtest both timeframes

    if anyone would like to using on MT4 broker, try way copy trade, use EA on MT5 with demo account and copy trade to you MT4
