Version 3.31 – 23.03.2022 – Multi-positions trading, neighborhood analysis added, performance report added, moving average filter extended, moving average entry and exit signal added, symbol input improved, more optimization criteria added, bug fixes.
– Multi-positions trading. It is now possible to open up to five positions in the same direction per symbol. This means that up to 5 buy and 5 sell positions can be open per symbol at the same time.
– Neighborhood analysis added. The goal of strategy development is to create a strategy that is as stable as possible. With the neighborhood analysis added in this update, this goal is now much easier to achieve. The neighborhood analysis makes it possible to obtain further key figures on the stability of a parameter set during optimization in the MT5 tester. The extent to which the analysis is to be performed for each parameter can be set. A good value in the neighborhood analysis means that the adjacent parameter combinations (in all dimensions) also achieve good results. This makes it very easy to find performance plateaus.
– Performance Report added. The results of a single test in the MT5 strategy tester can now be saved to a file. In addition to a variety of statistical key figures, all inputs that led to this result are also stored.
– Moving average filter extended. There are now different filter methods with up to three moving averages. In addition, the calculation method can be set.
The moving averages are displayed on the chart regardless of the time frame.
– Moving average entry and exit signal added. Added new entry and exit signal based on moving averages. This signal can be used either for entries, exits or entries and exits. You can choose different signal methods, set the direction and also set the calculation method. The individual moving averages are displayed on the chart depending on the timeframe set, regardless of which timeframe the chart is in.
– Symbol input improved. Besides the current symbol and a manual symbol input, the Master EA can now easily use all symbols currently active in the Marketwatch window for trading.
– More optimization criteria added. Some of the standard optimization criteria have been adopted for the custom selection. This allows these standard criteria to be used in the neighborhood analysis.
– Bug fixes and minor improvements.
Version 3.3 – 29.01.2022 – Multi-symbol trading, portfolio analysis added, more detailed equity display, panel design revised, moving average filter renewed.
– Multi-symbol trading. It is now possible to trade and backtest multiple symbols simultaneously within a strategy. This allows a higher number of trades to be achieved with one set of parameters, increasing the statistical relevance of the backtest results. This helps us to develop strategies that are more likely to trade profitably in the future.
– Portfolio analysis. It is now possible to display the performance indicators of a user-defined selection. You can filter by time period, magic number, symbol and account. This way you can easily build a portfolio of different strategies and display the key figures/equity. It is also possible to access strategies that are active in another MetaTrader on the same operating system. Through the filter option, for example, the entire performance of an account can be easily analyzed.
– More detailed display of the equity. For each equity, the composition of the different strategies, symbols or accounts can now be displayed.
– Panel design revised. The entire graphical interface was renewed.
– Moving Average filter renewed. The filter can now be used independently of the trading timeframe. This means that a strategy that works in the H1 timeframe can also use a daily moving average, for example. The moving average is displayed graphically in each chart timeframe. It is also possible to select whether the filter should apply only to entry signals, only to exit signals or to both.
– Bug fixes and improvements.
Version 3.0 – 11.10.2021 – New panel design with multiple tabs, new charts for strategy analysis, clearer license management, adjustable equity period, color settings for the panel.

– New panel design. The panel now has a wider format. This solved the problem that with small screens and many active signals and filters, not all information could be displayed.
– Auto-scaling: The different screen sizes are now automatically detected and the panel is scaled accordingly. The manual settings for different presets and height/width have been retained.
– License management added. The Master EA can now be downloaded for free and tested with a test license in the demo account. In addition, there are now different licenses for real money trading. The license date is displayed on the top right of the panel in live mode.
– For Time Entries/Exits an expiration time has been added. Within this time, a signal is generated even after an entry/exit time. If the connection to the broker is interrupted at the time of the signal, the expiration time ensures that a signal is still generated afterwards.

– The handling of global variables has been improved. These are now not deleted after removing the EA. So the EA can load its old state again, even after an unintentional termination.
