Hi Bob - hope your vacation was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyed
In regards to jaymuurs' previous post concerning EA's, I also have a question. It seems my EA's only trigger intermittently = not real reliable.
I'll take you through the latest occurrence - perhaps you can point out something I am doing incorrectly:
I have a profile created for each pair on my platform, w/ the usual M, W, D, H4 and H1 charts.
Any time I arrive at the desk, I toggle through all the profiles and load any applicable EA's ( I am still using the 1.0 H1 Trend System). Today included loading the 1.0 5X5 Buy for the Eur/Jpy sometime around 10 a.m. CST. (16:00 GMT)
I returned to the screens around 12:25 CST (18:25 GMT) to check on any EA fills, and when I switched to the Eur/Jpy H1 chart, price was definitely above the 5X5, but the trade had not triggered. Also, when selecting this chart within the profile (I am using 3 screens, so there are always several charts minimized), I received the 'question window' asking: "Eur/Jpy: Do you wish to continue to use this robot?". I responded 'yes', and then the trade was triggered on the next tick.
I've also just noticed that any time I switch profiles, and then return to one holding an active EA, I will receive this same question window. Does this mean the EA goes 'dormant' when you leave the profile in which the EA resides? Seems to me that would kind of negate the purpose of the EA if that is the case.
Hope you can make some sense of this, and thanks for any suggestions or comments if I am doing something wrong. Your system is performing quite well, provided one can be present for the setup, or the EA does indeed function as intended
I should add, I do not load the EA w/ a SL or TP (both set to zero), and the only change I will make will be to the Lot size.
