Hi Dave Another question which I hope isn't dumb, and I apologise if it has been asked before. If I am running the AT twice on one pair, but two different set files (different magic numbers), is the wager increase, which is different on the set files, applied to them separately? Hope that makes sense?

Hi Dave Thanks for the great products and the free tick data. I have run VRB on my home computer without problems. But then I loaded the EA on my VPS, got the licence key and entered it, but nothing happens. I assume the licence key makes use of shell 32 and on my VPS that just does not work for another application I tried to run previously. Could that be the issue and if so is there a way around this?

Hi Dave, Would you be kind enough to produce a set file for the attached indicator. I have included an image of the settings. This is from the following system on FF - http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=631956 Many thanks Moonie. {image} {file}

Hi Dave In regards to the NonLagDot question I emailed you about Pending Stop orders...the amendment to AT3 re NLD...the AT3nld.set remains the same, the change being a internal change to AT3 only?...and Companion, does it still compile the NLD correctly? Additionally, when optimising NLD, the system has a fixed NLD of 20. Deleting the 'b' after the 20 will prevent Optimisation of this value. Is it worth optimising such a system where the main parameter is fixed?. Regards Rod

Hi Dave...using the new AT3, your NonLagDots Set file, only modified the Trade Parameters line, left the entry and exits as per your set file. There are 2 BUY orders active however the Open Orders Box says 2 Sell orders are open. No Stop Losses have been set as per the set file and only 1 TP has been set. {image}

{quote} Looks like a few issues there. Have you tried non JPY pairs? For the time being I would not advocate using the NLD set files. In terms of coding, I had to made a number of exceptions to accommodate the NLD scenario. One possible solution is to use WMA8 with a conventional SL and TP. WMA8 is almost identical to NLD20.

{quote} Hi Dave...I will try the WMA8. Pity about the NLD as that is what I was looking forward to testing with your EA as I have been following the FF NonLagDot forum and trade the UJ manually with that system. I prefer to trade the YEN pairs. I have a question re %Risk. With 2% risk the EA is only trading with 0.03 lots. I calculated the lot size to be 1.16 ($7550x2%=$151/SL10(100)=1.51/TickValue 1.297=1.16Lots). I have just realised there is another option, SL&Eqty%...so what/how does the Equity% Risk calculate the lot size of 0.03?...Refer to...

{quote} Awesome...will test. Thanks. Dave, re my question yesterday about lot sizes and SL%risk. I traded GU 2% SLRISK%. The lot size generated from the EA was 0.09 lots Equity of $7550 with 30 SL. The trade closed at SL for a loss of $35.15, 1.17 a pip. The loss of $35.15 represents 0.46% risk. 2% Risk of $7550 is $151. By my calculations the lot size for the trade should have been 0.39 lots ($7550*2%=$151/SL300=0.50/Tick Value 1.297=0.39 lots. I have seen how you have calculated Risk in a previous post above, however the risk calculation does...

Hi Dave Taken a PSAR Trade on the GU. The entry did not correspond with the standard PSAR indicator (LIME). The entry was earlier than the dot change. I applied another PSAR (BLUE) with the settings reversed however the PSAR Indicator would not allow the Max number of 0.02 so the settings of the BLUE PSAR were both 0.2. That setting lined up with the AT3 PSAR set file entry on the chart. I therefore reckon the PSAR Para 1 and 2 are reversed in the set file. I have attached a screen shot. Regards Rod {image} {image}

{quote} Hi Dave...The GBPAUD is in the list. I have attached another trade on the GU that is still open showing 0.09lots, based on 2% risk %SLEqty on Equity $6500. By my calculation it should be 0.33lots as described earlier. The $risk is definitely not 2%. Your variable 'Account Equity' in your calculation is the one thing different...and I'm afraid I'm not sure what/how that comes into play except possibly when calculating Wager Increase, keeping the account safe. That is something I'm not aware of in calculating lot size and have difficulty understanding....

{quote} $130 AUD will not buy .33 lots even with a stop loss of 30. $130 (2% OF 6500) would buy 10/3 of .13 lots * AUDGBP. I think you are confused by GBPAUD when it should be AUDGBP. Edit: I should add that is assuming a gearing ratio of 100:1. If the gearing ratio was 200:1 then the Lot size would be halved.
