    Just been running one algo on MT5. Used Quantower for a while and issues started coming up and so i'm back on MT5, until I can figure out how to recode it.

    You use NT8? how's the platform for auto trading?

  2. Good Evening hilmy83,

    Yes, I use NT8.

    The platform is awesome. Have not cause me any issues. I love it.

    Wish I had more tick data to back test with. NT8 only offers 1 year of tick data. Many years of minute data.

    You should have as much tick data for as long as you've been using the platform, so the longer you use it the more you'll have.

    Yesterday was "interesting". But it still works as intended. Actually I was able to witness different ways the positions were executed last couple of weeks and I'm glad that the algo didn't fail.

    Is it regular MT5 or AMP's MT5? (Oh no, not that again).

    Well, one thing is for sure...When the algo runs as it should, the divergence (positively) from the SP and NQ index curves is quite impressive now that it has survived the drawdowns of late summer!
