{quote} Thanks for this utility EA, it opened many positions which shows it is very active given the variety of strategies. |however, it closes 95% in loss as little as £0.02 (2p) which I find strange. Is is possible to program this EA to wait 10 pips in profit before trailing and this first trail to give 3 pips profit and lock this? If this can be achieved that means it'll close in profit no matter what.
I have seen this before on FXOpen ECN and STP accounts. On one day the EA gave 10% loss out-of-the-box.

Not sure why, it seems the feeds for EURUSD are very different on all the brokers I have tested on.

EDIT: double-checked on two different accounts, one with lower balance gets higher lot size with same preset. I would call this a bug but hard to debug. https://github.com/EA31337/EA31337/issues/50

{quote} Looks like some anomaly, didn't see this error before. Code logic is at: GetAccountStopoutLevel(). The error doesn't make sense since your mode is 0 and there is a condition for that. I've added this to the bug list. This is related to AccountStopoutMode() MQL function (it's either 0 or 1). No idea. Could be also some platform bug, so try to restart it. Also,...
Could the problem be that I'm trying to run the EA on a EURUSD cent account?

Man, your EA is scary AF! What sorcery did you put here? Note the winrate at 38%, while maintaining a profit factor of 1.98. Superb! {image} {image}

Hi guys, Here is set file for EA31337 ver 1.072 Lite Full. I found this from the previous posts in this thread. TF = M15 / Pair = EURUSD Cross-checked with virtual hosting log. Only difference is that I set Risk Margin = 3.0 {image} {file}
The magic broke. It was very exciting last week, we beat all the competitions, unfortunately, I think the risk was set too high.

You mentioned that you've increased RiskMargin to 3.0, I think that's the main cause of the loss on your account.

I've checked and v1.072 by default has RiskMargin set to 1.0 (1%), and you've increased to risk by 3 times (3%)! So the risk was set way too high therefore the EA's lot sizes were calculated too large, and things went out of the control.

Maybe you should re-run it with RiskMargin 1.0 or less

I guess risk margin 1.0 is per trade so actually the risk is 1.0 x number of strategies active. So basically risk is more like 7% when risk is set to 1%.

Approx 1 month performance with 0.01 sizes on a 1000 USD account with basket manager closing at 1% attached.

I will load the set file I shared as is and will replenish the demo account.

Please let me know if there is another version optimized that is up for testing as I have one more free slot in my VPS.

Cheers!

Many thanks for your help, I have done the trailing stop but this ea is losing 98% of the trades, please check the two log files (21st May & 22nd May attached. Maybe it'll give a clue as to where the problem lies.

It is the standard set file for 1.072 but I suspect the lot sizing could be caused a bug

You could try to set lot size to 0.01 to replicate my results

{quote} Now I know what you mean by locking. The EA has two type of trailing types: one-way (locked) and bi-way. Example 1: T1_10_BARS_PEAK = 5, // 10 bars peak T2_10_BARS_PEAK = -5, // Bi-way: 10 bars peak The first method will move trailing stop by a distance of highest price from last 10 bars, but only one way (along with the price, securing the profit). Bi-way is opposite, will move two ways (without locking). Example 2: T1_MA_S = 19, // MA Slow T2_MA_S = -19, // Bi-way: MA Slow The first method will move trailing stop by the value of Moving...

I have attached the log files for yesterday and today in the attachment.
I was also reading somewhere about set files, I am using version 1.75, do I need set files, and if so, where can I get them? Maybe that's why its losing the trades.

Thanks bruv.

You should use it only on EURUSD, as it hasn't been optimized for the other pairs. As far as I understand from your logs, you've tried to run it on over 10 different pairs. For different pairs, you'll have to use different SET file (alternative one were shared in this thread). Or generate and provide your own, so other can test. Currently, the EA works per single pair which was optimized to. And all existing versions and their default settings were optimized for EURUSD only. Maybe in future versions, we can make it work on multiple pairs, currently, it's designed to work only one specific one. Basically, the settings need to compatible with the market that you're running on.

{quote}I am using version 1.75, do I need set files, and if so, where can I get them?
No other set files apart from the default settings which have already embedded the best-known settings. You can optimize it on your own, or wait for the new set files, or next versions, to test the new improvements.

Thanks for the logs, I'll check them in details. However, there is not really any problem, the EA logic works as expected according to the configured params (which you haven't change I guess). I'm not advertising it as profitable (it all depends how much it's optimized for the given dataset, how you're using/running it, on what market, what broker, spreads/commissions, leverage plus your trading knowledge, luck and hundred of other factors). In general, your outcome is tied to your time and effort you put into it (every run is unique and without understanding all the factors, you'll always fail). For sure it requires some work and optimization (as everything else), so please use it at your own risk. It's basically not perfect and it won't be. It's a powerful tool given for free (including the source code; it's one of its kind) with billions of billions of combinations and permutations fully controlled by the user according to his needs. The only missing part is to understand how it works and the ability to optimize it well (this is all that you need). You can also use it as the engine or framework, so you can configure your own unique way and/or develop new strategies which can be managed by the main algorithm.

I'm aware that people expect something profitable and working out-of-box, and for free, with their minimal effort spent. That is not the case. The EA basically comes as it is, and it still requires a lot of work which can take further years (it's basically ongoing never-ending development process). In other words, there is nothing to blame, you just need good settings for the given pair and market conditions that you're running on and some awareness what's going on, so you can keep adjusting it to your needs. If you find the perfect configuration that works great for you, that's great, share it. But you need to put some effort into configuring it according to your needs. Therefore I won't be able to help with the losses when running on some random pairs unless you find some specific errors/bugs or logic flows within EA itself or propose the new improvements, so they can be considered.

That's how Forex works. As one week you can win 250%, another lose (as we've seen). The challenge here is to find the balanced params. Nobody found the holy grail yet.

Thanks bruv, I've always appreciated your benevolence at giving away such powerful tool. We'll together share knowledge about settings and issues and hopefully get it perfected soon. Would continue to tweak and revert with progress. Many thanks.

I am still trying to figure out how to use this EA. It would be very nice if someone could just post one mq4/ex4 of latest version along with OP recommended settings. From there further testing would be much easier.

I know this have been asked and provided before but I tried that method and didnt work for me. Guess I am just a noob.

I agree with you, we can always improve on someone else's success. Everyone needs to post any preset which they have successfully tested and others can improve on their success.

Possibly, does it work for EURUSD pair, not EURUSDc? Can you reproduce this issue constantly? Does it happen only on the cent pairs? I've created a bug here, but I need more details. Can you attach your log file or report file? Can you test whether any other EA can work on the same cent pair?

Can you post the report files instead? These are text files generated after each EA run, so you should have few of them in your files/ folder within your platform. These can give more details about your trades.

The files which you're requesting were already posted few times. You can always click on the attachment icon of this thread on the top to see all the files that were attached. For EX4 files, check the post #6 (v1.075) and post #9 (v1.072), for MQ4 files check the posts #91, #112, #118, but if you're a beginner, this will only trigger more questions than it answers. Also, saying something didn't work is very ambiguous as you didn't share what you've tried so far and what problem you're having. If you've got any specific issue, please post the details.

For anyone interested in it's progress i've linked Trade Explorers to the currently running live trading account with EA31337 ver 1.072 under my profile.

I'd link it here but unsure of the code to use like others have above.

Also, is this error an issue?

2018.05.24 18:08:49.474 EA31337-Lite-Full-v1.072 EURUSD,M1: Info (1132): OpenOrderIsAllowed: Maximum open and pending orders has reached the limit (MaxOrders).

It's repeated down the list under every indicator but reads Maximum open and pending orders per type has reached the limit (MaxOrdersPerType).
