{quote} I believe this script forces your MT4 client to load all historical bars on your chart {quote} Why not keep open and give it another chance? Do you see market turning other direction?

That's just the way I handle profit. If I see it anything close to my targets I take it, close any open trades, and sit on my hands LOL

@ xmess7, Very good to see some discussion on stop loss settings this morning as that is exactly the questions I have #1 - Specifically, the BeginLockingProfit (pips or %) Does the EA decide to use pips or % from the input of the Use_SL_TP_Locks_As setting? See picture to see clearly what I am asking ============================================================ And anyone trading New York would have noticed the fast & hard reversal of the GBP I used the Close All Baskets button! I checked this morning to see if I could set an individual...

#1 - Specifically, the BeginLockingProfit (pips or %) Does the EA decide to use pips or % from the input of the Use_SL_TP_Locks_As setting?
Yes that is the input that you utilize to determine if pips or % is used.

#2 - Hint, hint, I guess big job to code that ADR Stop Loss in for each pair?
The ADR is a applied in this fashion. First the ADR is calculated for each pair. Then all the ADRs are summed up. You can then set the ATR_Multiplier to adjust the total so it can be used as the STOPLOSS of the basket. For example say that the total ADR = 600 pips. The default ATR_Multiplier (0.8) will then change that to 600x0.8 = 480pips. 480 pips is then the STOPLOSS for the basket.

I think what you are requesting can be done with no problem. I can add it like it is done with the IndividualTargets. Where when u set that true each trade gets a stoploss and/or takeprofit.

@ xmess7, Purely a cosmetic fix up on the words, cheers {image}
It's a psychological choice
I try to avoid using "Loss" as much as possible.
For example on another EA I post the pip count in Green and Light Gray colors. Green for positive and light Gray when it is negative.
This way I avoid having to see RED.
It's all about keeping your sight and thought in the proper mode.

I guess my problem is how much profit is "enough profit" for me to close? Will it become 6.5% this week, 5% next week, 4% the week after that etc etc?

Is there a minimum you want to see before you pull the trigger on taking profit?

You can run the profits and not lose the target reached with a trailing step

{quote} Dll always go into libraries ... However Had some problems with that too, until i found out why, and that here i got all i need to make money with xmess Ea and Ferrux Ccfp-diff and with our experience on many baskets we already tried ... and i no need any extra pins or Ea's to complicate my life. With all the respect for the high qualified coders But just to let you know i try to explain with my poor English what dll is and why is best not to use it .... Some Ea's Indis are written in Dll because they are faster then the Normal Mql which...
Jens:
A DLL is nothing but a list of functions. I can easily convert this EA into a DLL and it would do the exact same thing. That is all a DLL is.
Now why use a DLL if it is the same thing as an EA or any other code? Well there are functions that the EA Code cannot access directly. A DLL can have function from other "flavors" of code, such as Virtual Basic, C++, etc. The EA uses code called MQL4. There are times that we may need to use code from other types of programming environments that the EA cannot read directly by using MQL4. Then that is where a DLL comes in handy.

This EA does not use any extra DLLs. So it doesn't matter of the Allow DLL is checked or not. The reason I tell folks to check it is for in case I need to add a DLL later. If I do add a DLL you won't need to do anything cause more than likely it will be from the WINDOWS DLLs that are already on your systems.

In the beginning I was thinking of creating a DLL. I was going to be called RegX.dll. This is a DLL that I created using C++, it contains the functions for regular expressions. If I had used this, many of the sections of the EA code would shrink. Like for example, there is one section with 20 lines, using a regular expression function I could cut it down to 4 lines. In other words it would make the code very very efficient and shorter. But it's all fine the way it is, so we'll leave it like it is.

Can a DLL be malicious? Yes and so can an EA. Fortunately there are very very very few MQL4 coders that are aware of this . LOL Shhhh YOU KNOW NOTHING... I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHNG.... SHHHHHH

Hope this gives ya an idea of what a DLL is and can be.

is 6.5% close to 7% ?? YES!
That's all.. Nothing mysterious.

Besides next week we get the 10%

EDIT: let me see if this helps.
In general if I see 7% or more I close the basket manually
otherwise if I am not around the EA will attempt to close it at 10%.

Now if I end up like in a situation like yours where it was closed at 6.5% which is real close to 7% then
I would just leave it at that and try for next week.

That's all there there is. This is just the way I think. I don;t see anything wrong with having a 6.5% week, It's close enough! LOL.

Yes, but the same could be said for Stop Profit - who wants to stop the profit ???



Surely programming protocol would suggest it is best to keep the labelling the same eg. Stop Loss / Take Profit in both the display and the settings?

To prevent confusion with the same name in 2 completely different items.

Up to you I guess, thanks
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Where when u set that true each trade gets a stoploss and/or takeprofit. *** using ADR of course ***

Yes, that is what I was asking about, to prevent something like the mini flash crash, reversal that the GBP decided to have

Overall, it lowers the basket balance, and if it keeps going, will be a negative basket

That's my theory anyway, stop the losers and keep the winners

Looks like any interesting line up signals for London open

I Have downloaded your set file, downloaded xm7 beta 13,downloaded FXM_diff3, didnt download the dill file with it. Put FXM on chart, put your set file to it and watched it change the settings, put beta 13 on chart pressed load, loaded your file, watched it all change, nether ea or indi will show on chart, tried it the othe way around put ea on first, tried your instructoins...
Yes, I think by the other messages that the FxMadness Indicator is quite sensitive

For instance, while I have TradeReport on the same chart, previously, with CCFp-Diff, I was able change time frames to make it refresh

But with FxMadness, if I do that, it will lock up, very touchy!

good luck!

Just an update for those looking to start the weekly system - yesterday my basket hit +6.5% but not really 7% so I did not manually close. This morning it is back to break even so I have decided to continue to keep it open in hopes of it actually hitting my target tonight Australia time. Will keep everyone updated - my settings are the same as post 2 except; 11 AM GMT is when I open basket on Monday TP 10% (will close manually if I see it at 7%) SL 15% (hopefully never gets hit but is there in case the basket goes against me and I'm not at my computer)...
Please note Xmess used 0.1 lot for 2000$ balance.

Here is my setting: Post 8,476
Thank you
