Object Oriented Robot Available on MetaTrader 5

2

Having ported our example moving average crossover MT4 robot to MetaTrader 5 following the recent launch of the MT5 strategy tester we've now taken the next step. We've rewritten the expert advisor using the object oriented framework supplied by MetaQuotes as part of MetaTrader 5. You can take a look at our source code and see if this new way of producing robots appeals to you or not.

As you would expect the backtest results are exactly the same as for the robot written using the "old fashioned" procedural style, so we thought we'd see if we could show you some results that are rather more impressive than ones that show your account emptying in less than 3 months! We didn't use the input settings recommended by Boston Technologies. Instead we plugged in the same numbers that worked well for the same robot in 2008. That was four hour bars with a fast period of 10 bars and a slow period of 100. Here's what the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester showed us:

270% profit in 3 months looks pretty good, wouldn't you agree? Certainly a lot better than a 100% loss!
