Okay, here's a bit of an update.

In short, it's working. It's placing trades and capturing some positive pips from arbs. The problem? Not well enough. There are a number of things which need to be fixed to enable this script to work with multiple brokers.

So for those eager to start playing with the trading side of the script, if you're willing to call me, and record yourself promising to absolve me of all liability in exchange for this alpha version of the script, will you do it?

Hello all,

Seems as though some of you have the scripts up and running. I am getting a combination of errors and still have the Pipes error mentioned previously in the thread. Any help would be much appreciated

My screen displays under "Best Prices" as follows:

CallNamePipes Failed! [Sig-Demo.com] Last Error: [0] fSuccess: [0]
CallNamePipes Failed! [FXCM-Demo] Last Error: [0] fSuccess: [0]

The terminal reports on the Experts tab the following entries:

2011.12.14 19:25:49 FXARB Slave - Reporter: wrong delimiter for FileOpen as BIN function
2011.12.14 19:25:49 FXARB Slave - Reporter: wrong delimiter for FileOpenHistory as BIN function


Any ideas as to what setup attributes I am not properly editing?

Thanks,

RD

Attach the slaves first.

Attach the master, and watch the three dots after 'running' are they moving?

Followed your instructions and removed the master script and then reapplied. No change... and yes the dots are running and incrementing the count in rotation (or so it seems).

Skype me, you might have an interesting anomaly I need to factor in.

RR,

I sent you a Skype connect invite.

I have rebooted twice and restarted all MT4 platforms. This action has cleared the issue with the "wrong delimiter" errors from prior attempts.

It came to mind that these platform installations are not "clean" installations. Could it be that the dll's that your script relies on are not the standard? This could be causing the errors. Along the same lines, are their dll's that are common to Windows 7 and not to Windows XP that may be required support for process calls?

Just a couple of thoughts to chew on...

It was 32 bit and we still couldn't get it working. We concluded a more effective IPC method was required. We may have to use sockets.

If you can post up a screen shot of what's happening, let me take a look.

Have him put in his PC specs too. Ram, cpu and what else is running at the time (hard drive space doesn't matter unless it's fragged all to hell).

All I know is my named-pipes implementation doesn't work on his computer.

Thanks for your effort building building this EA with good potential.

I have pipe errors, too.

The master switches from pipe errors to running and back every minute. Further i get the BIN errors on master and slave and the Arb Master file cannot be open...

I run Windows XP SP2. The Master has suffixed currency pairs.. like EURUSDsuf. Could that be a problem?

I added you on skype...

The scripts currently cannot handle suffixes so yes that would be a problem. I obviously released too early, but it's nice you are all catching these bugs.

XP should be ok on 32 bit. Anything more and he's ran out of memory.

His HD is probably fragged all to hell too. Time for him to do some standard maintance on it; clean the drive, defrag etc.

Windows changed a little bit of the kernel32.dll from XP to Vista and on up.

Switch to a 32 bit XP system w/ a minmum of 1GB of ram. Don't load anything else but your MT4 terminals.

It'll work fine then.
