Spread Rules — Thanks for the reply. So if I were to apply your rules, I would have the following given the first order is placed first, second order is placed second, both buy/sell orders close at the same time as the top order is opened (on ...

What About Spread? — That would work if spread wasn't involved. Spread needs to be added or subtracted for all the open orders to close and the stop order to become live all at the same time. But I don't know how to do it. Mike

You have some contradictory statements here. What I got out of it is: 1. Go long at 08:00 GMT 2. TP=60 to 100 3. SL=40 4. BE once up 40 pips. 5. Close at what time? You said 08:00 GMT so this contradicts #1 above. Mike

Skyline, I was reviewing updates to the strategy thread and the suggestion at the following post: url was to stay in the trade unless you are supposed to reverse and don't close trades at the end of the day. That would save pips on closing and ...

Skyline, Can you change the comments in the ordersend functions to have the EA name in it rather than just "BUY ORDER"/"SELL ORDER"? It helps when running multiple EAs on an account. Also, for the function to calculate lots, the following will work ...

I have it on the daily chart. I've looked at the code. Nothing uses the hourly timeframe that I can tell. Why would that make a difference? Mike

Is it just me or is anyone else not seeing orders close at HourToCloseOrders time. I am running MT 4 build 202. Code checks for if ( Hour()==MathMod(Ora+GMT_Shift,24) ) then close all orders for symbol. But orders aren't closing. I changed it to: if ...

Skyline, You are right again. I must have mistook 2 trades from 2 different EAs. By the way, when you fixed a bug with the way it reverses trades, I don't think it works right. It seems like it hits a SL, it still trades in the same direction rather ...

Sorry about the questions. I just got to the email today and didn't realize I was coming into the middle of a conversation. Anyone try to make an MT4 EA out of it yet? Skyline? I saw you were here. Mike

Questions: 1. What would the 50 pip stop be from? Away from the opposite LWMA? (e.g. if long, 50 pips below the High LWMA?) 2. No TP? 3. Best used on large ranging pairs? Thanks, Mike

Hmm. I'll have to look at my results closer. I was sure the first time I ran it a few days ago that it didn't take any new trades on other pairs once I had 2 losses on all pairs. It also looks like the MN is unique for each order, not for each ...

Bug in Counting Losses — In OrdersLossInDay() line 114 needs to look like this: if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) This way it counts the number of losses per symbol. Otherwise it is counting the number of losses ...

Smileys — Make sure you have "Allow Live Trading" checked in the EA properties and "Expert Advisors" button is green on the toolbar. Otherwise, it works for me. Mike

ATR Version of G — Yeah, I was refering to the trailing stop being SAR. I didn't realize it was for the trailing until I reread after my post. I understand how you are using ATR. As far as SAR not part of the strategy, I was referring to the ...

ATR Version of G — Why not use a % of ATR as the stop also? So for SL you could use 25% and TP use 75%. Using SAR kind of gets away from the original intent of the strategy doesn't it? Mike

Trade Reverse problem. — I loaded 3g today for the first time. Looks like if the trade hits stop loss, it doesn't reverse the direction of the trade. (e.g. if long, hit stop loss, go short). Version 3f did it fine. Also, I have it running on 9 ...

Percentage of ATR for SL/TP — I was also thinking a percentage of ATR for SL and TP rather than a fixed number of pips each day because daily ranges change. 40 pips may be good today, but when the range increases, you will probably get stoped ...

Timeframe 1H? — Why is timeframe 1 hour. I thought this was a daily EA. Plus, looking at the code, it uses the daily timeframe. Maybe I missed something. Also, I've only been running the EA for a few days. What has been the experience so far? ...
