Hello ,

I have the same bug like Hanover, Atc Brokers, windows 10.

I use the same set as everybody, stop at 10,000, no stoch filter and range 10. And i have only the HYBRID MODE active, and buyer and seller set to false, not like Hanover.

Also, would a floating take profit make sense vs a dollar tp? I believe a floating tp would be best as it'll close all trades sells and buys as soon as the desired % profit is reached.

{quote} Last night I downloaded v 3.2 from post #449, and attached the EA to a GBPJPY,M15 chart with the settings displayed below (note: being too lazy to figure out what all of the settings are for, I simply used the same settings as in SwingMan's Strategy Tester report in post #466). As price fell the EA placed 3 sell orders at approx 10 pip intervals, and then as price reversed back upward to the middle of those 3 orders, it suddenly placed 59 buy orders at approx the same price within approx 15 seconds. At which point I immediately switched...

Yes it is a bug I am guessing you closed the metatrader then reopened with trades still active
when you open metatrader again it posts heaps of trades
just opinion

New 3.3-Rocket Version

Thanks to @hanover and @albert

It was actually a programming corpse in the Code, because on the weekend when I'm developing I sometimes use OnTimer() and not always OnTick(). You can see that for example in the chart of @albert.
For this reason, false trades were started, and I have not tested with live prices.

In the Version 3.3 I made some changes and found a bug.

For MoneyManagement you can chose percents from AccountEquity or AccountBalance to calculate the lots, and I think that with Equity is better.
I post also my last .set file

Please continue to report any Errors.

I delete the old 3.2-Rocket (wrong) versions.

Hi Swingman and Philiplee , Thanks for your hard work and sharing the idea and the EA .
@ Swingman , I started testing the sm EA version 3.2 from yesterday and today I decided to change the trend depth and after that, the EA started to put orders continuously as you can see in the screenshot and blowed up my demo account. hope you can rectify that.

Thank you SwingMan for the update !


Also, i begin to think to something in terms of money management.

For your next update, can you please add something like this : with this type of ea, we can get stuck a long time, so add a setting to fix the amount of balance the ea use.

Like this the ea will use let's say for exemple : 10 000 $, and all the profits generated are not use, so we can withdraw more easily.

Of course, add a setting for disable this for compounders


Thanks for all your work !

Is OK.
But is not it the same with the use of FixLots?
I e.g., with my $ 10,000 on the account, calculate that 0.01% equals 1 lot, and trade all the time like that.

Risk (not risc) is not calculated right, IMHO.
I.e if=0.01 (from equity of 100k) it opens 1 lot per trade, that is 10$ per pip aprx.
That means if price goes 100 pips against the trade direction we have a floating loss of 1000$ which is 1% of the equity but trade is not closed. (SL=200 or 300)

Also, if broker allows leverage of 1:100 you may open 100 parallel trades, and sometimes it's not enough.

Sure are you right! I used this formula for the first time, because Philip dont need StopLoss (!?).
My goal was only to have bigger lots if the equity gets bigger, and to test the profit chain.
Everything else can be discussed with Philip.

Swing man, excellent work and thanks you for the valid efforts, I stopped the EA today for fear of previous concerns about multiple orders opening, I too had a similar experience going from 7 buy positions to 20 within seconds, in the latest version, was this a bug, currently running v3.2, thanks again, D.
EDIT
downloaded 3.3 Rocket and running live on GJ, D
I don't need to be good at the game, only good enough to beat my opponent,

Hi all,
first of all I would like to thank all people here for the work and efforts on this idea.
After lurking and reading here for some time I would like to write down a thought.

Regarding MoneyManagement. Maybe I am thinking in the wrong direction, but as far as I have seen it is possible
to calculate the risk depending on the account balance/equity. TP, on the other side, is, if I understood right, a fixed
money value. Is that right?

Perhaps I am wrong, but in my opinion, TP should increase if the traded lotsize is growing.
For example, I trade 0.1 lots and TP is 20, one time my account (hopefully) doubles.
In this case I trade 0.2 lots, but TP is 20 like before. Should we change this?

Let me know if I did not see something....
Cheers

Just to confirm, the Take Profit is set in money value, not pips, points, etc.. so the cumulative value is the target, if a take profit is at 200 then there will be quite a journey with many trades open to gain 200 $£ unless the lot size resembles an appropriate level, unless you are very luck and a strong linear movement occurs, in a previous test, Phillip states a $5 test, so TP set at 5, unless something has changed, D
