Thanks for the reply mate. So we still have to get the levels from Dale/or determine the levels ourselves and insert them into the EA, am I rite??

Sorry if this is a wrong place to ask. thanks

I think I just answered your recommending question in his Thread...I think you overlooked it Please look overthere.

For the picking level question: Yes ofcourse we need to pick our levels ourselves or with Dales help or somebody else.....you need the Long.txt, Short.txt and RedNews.txt files filled with reasonable levels. That's why this EA is called TradeMan (TradeManager) This is not an install/set and let it alone thing!

None trading hours could be interesting
That also could be a feature... but actually we can set None Trading hours at the moment.

Because you can set your levels with specified start-stoptime...than you can create None Trading hours....

eg: if you place the lines below in your long.txt file
EURUSD;2017.08.08 00:00:00;2017.08.08 15:00:00;1.1753
EURUSD;2017.08.08 20:00:00;2017.08.08 23:00:00;1.1753

In the above example you only looking towards the EURUSD for level 1.1753 between
00:00 -> 15:00 and 20:00 -> 23:00

So between 15:00 and 20:00 you have a "do not trade window"! for the specified level

Hi Happy,

I've downloaded and installed your EA per the instructions. I've verified all of the required settings but the EA will no load on my chart...not even a sad face. I'm getting the following error:
2017.08.08 08:44:55.103 TradeMan_HappyMy GBPJPYi,M30: zero divide in 'MoneyManagement.mqh' (142,73)


Any thoughts? I 'd really like to run your EA because my VPS gets choked down by the others. Thanks again!

Just a thought..My broker uses a suffix. Would there be an issue with that?

Yes I think you are right there!
at that point I'm asking the market Value for "USDCAD"
What broker are you using and what suffix are they using! I did not programmed that. But that's easy to fix I think!

You also can pb me if you like that more.

Yes, I thought about doing like that, but it is a little bit messy if you have many levels to deal with every day.

Wait I checked something else and I can generate the same error on my side..

If I'm right you have an account balance in USD (otherwise the EA cannot touch this part of the program). If so then for correct calculation of the lotsize to trade the EA need the marketinfo values for:
USDCAD and USDJPY => did you load those symbols in your marketwatch?!

It seems the EA does not have the USDCAD symbol (at least) in the marketlist. Can you add this symbol to your marketlist and check again? I'm very curious if this is the issue!
If this is indeed the issue I need to check that before loading the EA and just give an alert for it! (a new change for the next version!)

I'm agree with that....! Have then to think how to hold this in sync also for backtesting possibilities!

No problem!

I now connected to your broker with a demo account and have exact the same message! I have to look for it. But you can be sure you hear from me!

Thanks, HappyMe

Thanks for the report of this issue!

I am used to made all days new entries and so your input methode was not within my scope during my programming. I programmed it like the way that every entrie only exist for just one day! In your case you start at 2017.08.08 and want to finish the level at 2017.08.10. Today it is 2017.08.09 and so the EA does not see those levels!

I need to change that behavior!

as work around you can do it like this:

USDJPY;2017.08.08 09:00:00;2017.08.09 00:00:00;110.092
USDJPY;2017.08.09 00:00:00;2017.08.10 00:00:00;110.092
USDJPY;2017.08.10 00:00:00;2017.08.10 15:00:00;110.092

instead of:
USDJPY;2017.08.08 09:00:00;2017.08.10 15:00:00;110.092


The EA is checking the long.txt and short.txt automatically every hour once! So in this case, directly after mid-night (2017.08.09 00:00:00) the levels where seen as not valid anymore because it was out of scope for the EA. I'm going to change this behavior because it is just not logical!

Again thanks for the issue, you hear from me very soon!

Very strange...
added one level for AUDUSD short, and after re-INIT an order was triggered at the actual price (no level at this price )
Here is the debugg file

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Indeed this is strange and I never saw it happened! At the moment I don't have a clue.
For a normal entry. In the log-file you first need to see that the level is testet... before the trigger. I can't see that in the logfile. Also directly after the Init it was triggered as the logfile says. I can't imagine it is happening because I check that the level first must be tested before it can be triggered! As I look further you did not entered a level like 0.78851. also not before. As far as the logfile is telling me.

Which Broker do you use?

I have to look deeper into this. You hear from me!

Thank you for you replies

My broker is Global Prime and for sure I never entered 0.78851 as a level
Both reported issues may be linked
To my understanding and small experience I think that there is no need of an end of validity for a level. However the first date is necessary to make a new level a fresh one
