I'm constantly getting this Order select Failed! error. Is this normal. Keep closing and opening limit orders none stop for last few hours. Mostly USDCAD but i see it on other pairs as well. I'm a bit scared of spamming the broker, i don't want to piss them off.

nice one .

earlier I gave reason for hours between signals to be 15 hours . reason was London closed to London open is 15 hours .
I have thought of another number for hours between signals could be based on market cycles .
if you have heard of captain jack he says 1M 5M 15M 30M 1H 4H D1 are each cycles .
now to get the cycle for 1M chart you have to open the 1M chart and then zoom down to least you an on the same chart.
the number of bars or candles on that chart is 1680..That is 1680 one minute candles .According to cycle theory it takes 1680 bars for price
to move from bottom of chart to get to top of the chart and takes 1680 bars for price to move from top of the chart to get to bottom of chart
this the sixths concept or peak hi peak lo. so if we divide 1680 minutes by 60 we get 28 hours. meaning it takes 28 hours for the 1M cycle to complete .

if there is a buy setup EA will send buystop .if market triggers the stop no other buy will be sent for another hours between signals unless a sell opened after
the buy was opened .if a sell opened after buy opened then buystops will be opened 6 hours after sell opened if there is a buy setup.
vice versa if we start with a sell. basically minimum time between two buys or two sells is 6 Hrs. if buys or sells open within minutes of each other there is an anomaly .
if you have any going forward let me know . $50DD - profit 16

Looks like a whole lot of good work being done here. Kudos to all.

After reviewing CM's TE, and all the other contributors posts, I'd be inclined to do away with all Gbp pairs, except GU. Just an observation, not attempting to tell anyone their business.

I also at first wanted to do away with all Gbp pairs but let see their impact . I am sure there is some software that can analyses and tell us the impact these pairs have .
I did away gbpnzd eurnzd eurchf, also some nzd pairs

Update in the last few hours. Seams like bot closed some trades and took a loss. Not sure sure why it just closed some trades in negative and not others. I don't see any errors except the ones you see. Might be the trailer or the bot.

hi Candyman,

I would like to run the EA on a demo account.
Could you perhaps summarise the things i need to do for installing EA with trailing stop?

Which EA version?
Steps needed for getting trailing stop installed.
Things that are needed to note about magic number?

Thanks

Which EA version? https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...4#post10864704
trailing stop & PACv15 same magic number
-EVERY couple (currency pair )have their own H4 /m5 window with EA.
-All EAs have the same magic number.
-one window is for STOP LOSS TRAILER which has a magic number set as EA.

Today's update. Still getting trailing stop errors. taking off the GBP crosses might be a good idea...idk we will see.

I added the mt4 account to my profile, you can keep track there if your interested. I wont be posting PL updates here any more, only Errors and bugs. )
