The tried-and-true method for importing .txt files into MT4 is through the Tools/History Center import menus. I've been doing this with the url data (it's actually forexite data) for a while now but it's very inconvenient and error-prone. It's ...

New version with independent control of the X and O colors. I also noticed the display getting messed up when each new bar formed on the main display so I fixed that. Regarding the 4 and 5 digit question someone had, it doesn't care about how many ...

I looked in my code repository and found I'd created a version that lets you limit how many bars the indicator looks at. The problem is that if you have 50,000 bars on your chart it will take a really long time to process. There is a parameter ...

I wrote my own (simple) EA to try to duplicate what's in the thread and I'm not able to match your results, smad. The results are attached. Don't worry that the report says I ran it on H4 timeframe. My EA actually looks at D1 only anyway. For some ...

What I meant was that those functions use the custom indicator "SuperTrend Correct" that I don't have and can't find on the interwebs. *later* Never mind, I found it.

I had a look at the latest EA source file and I noticed that the OrderSend has the SL and TP fields filled in. This won't work with American brokers like IBFX. You have to do OrderSend with the SL and TP fields set to 0 and then set the SL and TP ...

Thanks for the feedback. Funny you mentioned the "m" since I just fixed that too. Version 1.2 is attached. I *think* it will work with other brokers now.

I don't know how to make it a separate window. If anyone wants to make cosmetic changes, have at it. The dashboard has to be added as an indicator to a chart dedicated to it. I use EURUSD but it doesn't really matter. Also the timeframe doesn't ...

Dashboard — Here's a dashboard I threw together this morning. It's loaded with the symbols available from IBFX and I've only tested it on IBFX. I'll look into making it a little more adaptable later. Basically it shows green for uptrending ...

That's not gonna do it. The problem is that OrderModify doesn't return a ticket but a bool. So it only returns a 0 or 1. You're feeding the Ticket variable (always a 0 or 1) from OrderModify into OrderSelect which will always fail when ...

Forward test results — OK, here's a pretty good set of forward test results for Ron's EA. Metatrader report attached. 1) Period covered: 7/21/2010 - 8/4/2010 (2 weeks) 2) Broker: IBFX demo mini account 5 digits 3) Currency pair: EURUSD only 4) ...

Version 1.7 Sorry for the flurry of releases. The bug fix in version 1.6 was kind of a hack and won't handle all cases. The fix in this version is better.

I just tested it with MM turned on and doubling turned on and it worked. However I noticed that if you turn up the risk too high it won't double. So it worked for Risk=1,2,3 but not 4 or greater. I don't think it's from running out of margin. ...

OK, version 1.5 has money management with percent risk lot sizing. I added 2 new parameters, MM and Risk. MM is a boolean that turns on money management. When it's on, it sizes positions based on available margin. When it's off, it uses the ...

Version 1.4 Added one time position size doubling after a loss. What I did was add 2 parameters to the EA. 1) DoubleAfterLoss (default = false) turns on the feature. 2) LossRecoveryFactor (default = 2) is how much to multiply the base size by. So if ...

Version 1.3 Found a bug with finding the PSAR flip. This improved the performance even more. Win rate increased from 91% to 93.9% and average loss increased from 1.27 to 1.51. Expectancy: (0.939 * 0.10) - (0.061 * 1.51) = 0.0939 - 0.09211 = 0.00179 ...

Version 1.2 Changed entry from level sensitive to edge sensitive. Instead of taking every trade where fisher > 0.25 or < -0.25, take only transitions from below to above 0.25 and above to below -0.25. Still filter on PSAR position. The win rate has ...
- stevegee58 replied Jul 29, 2010
OK, here's version 1.1. SL is fixed now. No trailing. The SL is chosen to be the PSAR right after the last flip. Win rate increased from 87% to 88.4% and average loss increased from 1.01 to 1.15. Still not breakeven yet but it's an improvement. ...

Here's version 1.0 of an EA that trades the basic system. It does not double the lot size after a loss. It's just uses a straight fixed lot size specified by the user. BTW, even though it has an 87% success rate, it steadily loses money. Maybe ...

Yet another version of the zigzag — Hi folks, I made a couple of mods to the zigzag indicator version posted by acerinvest to make it more conforming to my understanding of the rules. The horizontal lines drawn at the last swing high/low are ...
