Another question: should the take profit for an OP_SELLSTOP really be the SwingHigh (which is set to the high of the previous candle). It seems to me it should be the SwingLow... Isn't this is backwards? - desmodeus

Thanks, Invisible, I'm on the M15 charts, and I think you're right about the small candles giving small fibs and TPs that are too close. I will try modifying the code to set a TP that is at least the minimum (9 pips, I think) away. -desmodeus

Hmm. Even with the fix I mention in my previous post, all of my pending orders are still winding up with SL = 0, and TP = 0. The OrderModify calls are all failing with error 130: invalid stops. But the stop is always 0 (I have ...

Hi All, Steve, I _really_ like FTLR! I have noticed one possible bug, though: in SendSingleTrade() when CriminalIsECN, there is a test if (stop != 0) before the OrderModify() call. I think this should be if (stop != 0 || take != 0). As it is now, if ...

Hi bluemele, Thanks for the tip: this EA looks very interesting! Would you please describe how you're setting up MPTM to work with this EA? Many Thanks, desmodeus

"150 pip distance — Hi sundog, By "a 150 pip distance" are you referring to the minimum distance between trades setting? Do you mean that you've changed that setting to 150 (which would be 15 pips) or that you've changed that setting to ...

MPTM settings? — Hi Steve, I'm seeing about breakeven lately from Simone in demo. I've been running RSI Trend filter off, too. And, as my minimum lot size is 0.1, I've been running with closehalf off, too. Is closehalf making a difference for ...

Cut 'n paste gotcha — StopLoss = NormalizeDouble(BreechFibLow - (SlPipsFromBreech * Point), Digits); //Check maximum stop loss if (Ask - StopLoss > MaxStopLoss * Point) { StopLoss = NormalizeDouble(Ask - (MaxStopLoss * Point), Digits); }//if ...

GMT offset question — Hey GrandeHombre, I have a question about the TRS_gmt_shift GMT offset in minutes: my VPS is in NY city, which is -4 hrs from GMT... should I set TRS_gmt_shift to -240 min? or + 1200 min? + 1200 would imply that NY is in ...

I have a suggestion with respect to "simone stuff.mqh" With Nick's permission of course, why not incorporate the contents of "simone stuff.mqh" into simone.mq4? Anyone who still want to use the external .mqh could comment out the incorporated code ...

You are all too kind... Someone would have spotted it, and in this company, likely sooner than later. I'm just happy to be able to participate. This is a really wonderful community, this thread. Thanks to you all! - desmodeus

Oops. — I hadn't refreshed and seen Steve's last post. Please disregard my flogging a dead horse... -desmodeus

A bug, I think... — I'm pretty sure that the inversion of the direction arguments in the "down trend" and "up trend" calls to GetBreechPivotCandlesClose() are the reason why no trades are being made. The way it is now, in a down trend it is ...

Hmmm... — I'm not certain that this is the problem, but it does seem like a possible problem. In a down trend the direction parameter to GetBreechPivotCandlesClose call is "up" and in an uptrend the direction parameter to ...

No trades since setting up the latest version last night — I'm also not getting any trades since setting up the latest version. Looking at the action from this morning, I would have expected some. I've installed it and compiled it correctly. ...

About initial stoploss — Hi All, I was reading Simone's thread and noticed the following exchange: Simone's response: It looks to me that the initial SLs set by the EA tend to be much larger than 30 to 40 pips. - desmodeus

Ah... I see. I wasn't considering that all but the latest trade on a pair have their stops moved to breakeven or better... So real maximum lot exposure is limited to Lot x number of pairs used. Thanks! - desmodeus

Hi All, First off, many thanks to Mr. Hopwood for these amazing EAs! And thanks as well to all of you who have contributed to their evolution (especially grandehombre!). I've been looking at the code and thinking about how trading hours are ...

Oops. That should be #include <simone stuff.mqh> in my previous email - missed copying the closing '>' -desmodeus

simone stuff — Hi All, The line: #include <simone stuff.mqh has to occur after the declarations of all of the #externs in order for grandehombre's stuff to work. I put it right ahead of Simone's Init() function. -desmodeus
