Here, I replaced Sixth with TMA (Atr=2=greenLines,Atr=3=goldenLines) , so use ReplaceSixthWithTma=true.
I also changed the TMA indic, so please use this one provided
Unfortunatly we are Friday evening ,so we have to wait monday to check if it's work.

Really, this bot is not bad;
We have many modes : CT=CounterTrades; TT=TrendTrades
- Nb mode#1 trades (CT)

I am running Maxv100 this week on my VPS. I only have it running on 10 pairs. When I open the platform my VPs CPU is spiking to 100 and staying there causing the program to remain unresponsive. I have a couple other platforms running, but prior to booting the one with Maxv100 running, my CPU usage is 10%. Anyone else having CPU usage problems running this on their VPS? If anyone is running this succesfully on a VPS with other platforms running please let me know who your provider is via PM.

I am running it on 20 pairs plus three other MT4 platforms all loaded with Indis and EAs on my laptop, quad core i5 with 4GB Ram. In a steady state CPU usage is between 17%-25% (with all 4 platforms running).

If I shutdown and restart the MT4 with Max (with Expert Advisors enables) the CPU usage spike to almost 100% for a few seconds then gradualy reduces to the steady state above. Checking the Task Manger I can see that Max uses 1-4% CPU plus about 140MB RAM on its own.

You can reduce the CPU spike by turning off the Expert Advisors button so when it starts it does not start loading EA automatically. When it is running then enable the EAs. You may find the spike is reduced.

It is correct that iIt is a much heavier user than the other platforms I have. For example V71c is using about 80MB RAM and 2% CPU when running.
yes , turn off expert advisor during 10s -- 1mn until it takes breath, and start it

With my new overboost PC, I can run 3 demos with 26 pairs (4 cores I7 overspeeded to 4Ghz, 12 Giga Ram, windows x64, 6 x 30" Dell screens (2500x1600 pix)
Wow. That is some setup!
Many, many thanks for all your work on this Max. You have created something very special.
I shall take your advice and spend some time away from my PC for a while. Forex can quickly become all consuming, especially when the balance is growing

Take care, Beastie.

Max,

Can you elaborate on trade closing conditions some so I know if it is working? I haven't had a trade close from Master EA yet.

I guess I have never had a positive gain.

Also, on the ATR estimated pips for lot sizing, why would a .43 on a mini account be the next level from a .05?

I am guessing it is working on yours, and I am curious what lot sizes it is putting in for others.

It works great, 27.00 in DD, but overall profitable this week had the ATR thing not cost me another 10.00 of profit and the other mistakes I made of not changing the lot sizes.

We are our own best indicator.
Kudos to you Max - this is monster and a work of art. Your work and efforts are truly appreciated.

I have to say that the idea of forcing the trades close is really growing on mw (although I wish I can understand the decision logic .

One thing though that I really do think should be taken care of is taking two opposite trades at the same time such as now with AUDCAD (see picture). Is there any way to stop this or check if there is an existing trade then not to open another?

Or if they existing then treat them as a basket and get them to close at BE.

TX7 is a TT, #5 is a CT. So there is no problem to have 2 trades, 1 on the trend, 1 countertrend. They will be cared seperatly, 4H code will manage the TT, Nb code will manage the CT. Don't worry, everything is under control

Ok I trust you
if (ReplaceSixthWithTma)GetSixths(); else GetSixthsTMA();

Shouldn't this be the other way around? replacesixthwithtma so use getsixthstma?
Max,

Also with the sixths trading that Steve wrote (the beast ea) the recovery lots are bigger(2x 4x) but after say 400 pips hedging helps with the death trend that stops you from getting the margin call from a lingering trade that never closes out. Do you think this is a good idea or don't see the need for this? I'm just thinking that if a recovery is 4 levels deep or say x pips away you can use RSI on D1(20) (based on Scoobs recommendation) >55 for long or < 45 for short before starting a hedge and transfer the drawdown to a time where the currency isn't trending against you anymore to avoid more drawdown.

This can be done indefinetily even for the hedge that may need hedging if the original direction is restored and your recovery closes out at BE.

Thanks for the bug

About hedging, I am thinking about it.But I remember when I used hedge last year in basket Ea, the problem is you never know when close the hedge. if the original trades come back in profit, then it's your hedge that is in large loss. At opposite, if you close your hedge because you think that the adverse trend is over, but that it continues, you come back at the starting point. So no magic way. For moment (4 weeks demo), I never experienced more that level 2 recovery, so it's not difficult to open a manually hedge, i think this case will occurs very seldom.

Hi Max,

Although you're probably right I was thinking about probability and statistics to recover from drawdown. That's what it is... the market is random and we merely put ourselves in a position to get an "edge" for profit. If we know the trend has changed why trade against it? Let the trend play out and when it does come back you let the hedge go and you then only need the initial amount of pips to recover.

Ofcourse your point is valid that when you do a hedge and it comes back to the original direction you would probably breakeven on the initial trades and deal with the hedge maybe, hedge the hedge until you are in a solid trend that brings you back to breakeven on the initial trade. You would decrease equity alot slower because you are hedged until a trend reversal and if its fake then you reposition the hedge again (each time you may suffer some pips in drawdown) but better than the worsed case scenario which sees another lehman type collapse and 1000 pips straight down while you are buying.

This leads me to another question about the trade manager (max 018). If we are in a recovery will the rest of the trades be closed out during the normal times it checks to see if you are in profit?

Would it close the recovery trade only if the entire basket is in NET profit?
MAX - Help Please

After having Max 111 running on demo more than a week I decided to try it on a small live micro account.

But immediately I am getting Zero Divide errors on all pairs. The exact same settings work fine on demo. I have checked the lot value and it should be working fine. Both set to 0.01. The only difference is the demo balance is about £5k and live balance is about £1K.

In fact I am using the same MT4 platform, just loging into Live or Demo so everything else is exactly the same. I am using Alapri UK.

What is wrong??

Max, I tried to isolate the problem but without success. It will probably be something so silly that I'll kick myself but right now I am stumped.

I left only one pair on the chart and tried the following:
-Increased lot size to from 0.01 to 0.5. Same result
-I disable the various modes hoping to isolate the problem.
-Even with StopTrading=True the error is still there.

The error start when the Tick countdown completes. I am not sure if this will help but some graphical information is missing (see chart).

I also noticed some warning when compiling. But this happens on the demo as which is working well.

I am keen to try it for real but for now I cannot

OK I experimented some more and I think it is to do with MT4 somehow. I tried a fresh copy and it seems to work on one chart so far. I'll carry one with the setup and see what happens.

Try deleting your global variables maybe. I am not sure why that would do that, but who knows. Good luck. (F3 key)
