Important: Before you start, you have to register a rAlgo membership account to activate the EA.

------------------------------------------------------------------

REMEMBER TO CREATE A MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT:

  2. Register for an account at http://member.ralgo-ea.com, one account per person.

    Please check your mailbox for a verification email from us, to activate the account.

  3. Next, add your MT4 trading account number (eg. 30005061)  to your rAlgo Member Profile, you can add as many MT4 accounts as you need.

    Please note that if the broker account number is not found on your member profile, the EA will fail to work.

  4. Please follow the Installation Guide in the next section, below.

Installation v0.8.4

These are the steps you need to CAREFULLY follow to set up the rAlgo Pivot Trading EA v0.84:

THE EA FILES:

  1. Download the 3 EA files, then

  2. Run your Metatrader 4 Terminal

  3. Save the rAlgo_pivot_trading_v0.8.4.ex4 in MQL4\Experts folder (this is the EA file)

  4. Save the socket-library-mt4-mt5.mqh in MQL4\Include folder (this is the Socket file)

  5. Save the TDI-RT-Clone-rAlgo_v0.8.ex4 file in MQL4\Indicators folder (this is the TDI Indi file)

  6. Remember to right-click and Refresh the "Expert Advisor" and "Indicators" header in MT4 Navigator pane, so the Pivot EA and TDI Indicator could appear on the MT4 Navigator pane.

  7. Lastly, and importantly, go to Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors tab, tick the "Allow WebRequest for listed URL:" checkboxes, then add http://api.ralgo-ea.com in the URL box, and click OK.
    Please note that without completing Step 7, the EA will fail to work, and you will encounter the "Program Terminated Itself" error.
     

LOADING THE EA TO CHART (ONE EA PER CHART):

  1. ​Open a chart (eg. EURUSD) and set the chart Timeframe to H1

  2. Drag-and-drop the rAlgo_pivot_trading_v0.8.4 EA from the Navigator pane to the EURUSD chart, the EA configuration will show up - ensure you tick the "Allow live trading", "Allow DLL imports" and "Allow import of external experts" checkboxes in the Common tab, leave the rest of the settings as default and click OK. Once the EA is loaded, you will see the Smiley Face icon on the top-right corner of the chart. You will also see the Red/Blue/Green pivot lines drawn on the chart.
    Please note that if you see a Sad Face icon on top-right corner of the chart, you should ensure the "AutoTrading" button is pressed. Reload the EA if you can't see the pivot lines drawn on the chart.

  3. You can find the EA Configuration Guide PDF file in the Download folder, it will help you to understand how to customize the EA settings.

  4. Optionally, you can choose to drag-and-drop the TDI-RT-Clone-rAlgo_v0.8.4 indicator to the chart, however, since TDI indicator is embedded inside the EA code, it's not compulsory to load this Indi.
     

The steps above should get you to the point where your EA could start to operate.

Backtesting

We optimized the EA to run on AU, EU, GU, UJ and UCHF pairs, you could optimized your preferred pairs, too.

We strongly recommend using Tick Data Suite (TDS) to perform backtesting and optimization. TDS offers up to 99.90% of testing accuracy. If you are using the free built-in MT4 Strategy Tester to perform backtesting, the accuracy is only 90% and the backtest results can be very misleading.
 

Feel free to find/optimize your own set with your preferred currency pairs, as the EA is not locked for backtesting

The set files can be downloaded via the link below.

Starting Balance: $10,000
Lotsize: 0.1
Timeframe: H1
Period: 20100101-20181214


Alternatively, you could try to use $1000/0.0.1/pair as backtest criteria. What it means is, set starting balance to $1000, test on 1 currency pair, and with lotsize no bigger than 0.01 per trade.
