Hopefully the comments above will make it easier to understand the settings.Ignored
DislikedIs it possible for the above settings to be expressed in % of account balance instead?
Thanks.

DislikedI saw the basket reached the TP level of 100 dollars. EA was closing all trades but three trades on EURJPY was not closed.
Look into Journal tab with the following:
2011.03.30 00:30:26SnowRoller EURGBP,M5: unknown ticket 42619514 for OrderClose function
2011.03.30 00:30:26SnowRoller EURUSD,M5: unknown ticket 42619514 for OrderClose function
Any idea?Ignored
DislikedSir,
The EA works well on my Alpari demo. However, the basket_stats indicator is not functioning as described. It is not displaying the data - all I get is what is shown on the screenshot attached. I have placed it in expertsindicators folder
Can you please guide me on correcting this.
Thanks for sharing!
faithfully

DislikedI just uploaded a new version. If you've already downloaded SnowRoller, Please download this version so we are all on the same page. (see link in signature)
Changes:
Everything should now be normalized in pips no matter what your broker is like (4 digit, 5 digit).
The CloseAll and CloseThis have been reworked to be in percent.
Commented out the parameters a bit more clearly with descriptions separating the sections. It should seem more logical.

DislikedThat seems like a reasonable request. What default % would be good for the profit / loss levels? Extrapolating from the current settings it would got to 2% profit, and more reasonably the loss % to 4% loss?
I've also been evaluating how this thing is structured. Right now I have maxed out on my demo the trades at 100, with 30 on AUDUSD carrying a loss of 8.8. I'm thinking about a method to better allocate positions between the pairs so it doesn't end up with a few pairs with really large size carrying them to loss. That's really the opposite of...Ignored
DislikedHey FXEZ,
I was just amazed when I saw someone adopting the snowball trading style. I am in Forex now for 5 years, and finally I am successful trading manually according to this method.
I have always struggled for myself to find the key to countertrade a pair. Here you seem to do so, too. Your very much open positions on the AUDUSD tell so.
Despite I am not a programmer, I had many thoughts about an EA this far. I scale in a trade in a similar way you do with the snow roller. But I use an indicator that is mostly laughed on by people. This...Ignored

DislikedHey Newark,
nice to hear that you want to experiment with the semafor. What I do mostly with the snowball EA at the moment is to fire it up in BOTH ways (trading bidirectional settings) on London open at 09:00 / GMT+1. Settings are 0.1 lots at a 8 or 10 pips range, so very tight here. Levels are 3-6, depends on pair. If market doesn't move enough, I quit and take a few losses that do not really bother me. And boy, that works. Even Steve Hopwood is having thoughts in this direction at the moment with his ACD / Mark Fisher adaption, where he came...Ignored
