{quote} Excellent idea! I'm currently busy adding a bunch of stuff to the EA for money management Use Fixed amount of $ per trade When its done you can tell the EA that you want to risk (for example) a max of $100,- per trade For each order the EA will then calculate the lotsize based on the rate between the pair and account currency and the SL needed for the trade So if the trade needs a bigger SL then it will use a smaller lotsize, and if the trade needs a larger SL then the EA will use a bigger lotsize Meaning .. regardless of SL needed, it will...

EA has just opened a CHFJPY sell trade at 15:24 !

There is clearly an issue with the ea so please use with caution as its not following candle close !

if it helps I noticed that it is a re-entry from a closed ea sell trade (CHFJPY) at 14:53

What is your setting for "minsBetween2TradesOnSamePair"? If you don't want to re-open another trade after the first trade for a certain Zigzag arrow was closed, then make sure that this setting is greater than what you have entered under Candles to look back for confirmation - "ZigZagCandles".

Example: if the ZigzagCandles is 10, then enter 2400 in minsBetween2TradesOnSamePair.

No you are wrong. The EA will open orders at ANY time, not only at candle closes !
So if you start your EA at 15:24 and there are valid buy/sell signals then it will open orders for them right away. It won't wait for the current candle to close

However it uses the previous closed candle(s) to determine if signals is valid.
The current candle which is still building and which is still open is not used to determine if we should open a new trade or not.

Thanks a lot for the great strategy @mrdfx,it is very clear, applicable and profitable.

Many thanks for the EA, it is really brilliant! @ebeckers I use the set file of Mrdfx advised in another post to do the backtest and get great result in past 5 years.

Ebeckers, When the order hit SL, can you make the EA to open a double lot with same direction(with same SL and half TP of previous order) to cover the loss? I studied the backtest record, and found that opening a double lot will make the profit much more stable.

Another possible reason could be that the trade was closed by one of your TS levels and then as the signal was still valid on the dash the EA reopened a new order on the same pair.

Hi mrdfx and thanks for Your system and EA!
I have loaded a demo, the same brooker that You have, will compare my trades with Yours. My time in tradingwatch is now 17.18. Is that correct? Dont know if there are different versions/servers. Have loaded Your setfiles, use a standard $10000 demo account, not racor. If You use a racor demo account and have other time, let me know.
Best regards

Thanks! Fantastic tread, congratulation.

And You have a standard demo account? Guess it could be different signals with racor because lower spread/commission.
