You have two choices
FixLotsize
LotsPerBalance

First choice... you set your lotsize and no matter how much your account grows your lotsize is thecsame (until you change it)

Second choice .... In this case you r telling the EA to use x lots per blance in account. So, say u type in .03/1000
So for every 1000 in your balance the ea will open .03 lots.
this way as your account grows in size the lotsize will also grow.
Example using 0.03/1000
Sart with $10000 EA will open your trades with .3 lots
Your account then grows to 20000 now the ea wil open trades with .6 lots etc etc

{quote} Hi Miner88: begin lock profit = Tells EA when to START (begin) the profit locking. In your case it will start a 6% lock percent level = is the percentage you want the basket to protect. This percentage changed the trailing lock. Like this. After the EA starts(begins) locking profit it will set the trailing stop at "lock percent level "% x CurrentBasketProfit.

Hi, is corret the mode i setted the trail stop (if i want to duplicate the example number 2)?
When you write: TrailingLockEvery(STEP)=100 (delta that profit must move up before EA moves lock), what do you mean? If, for example, i put a step of 50 instead of 180 of the example 2, what changes?
And what is the use of the voice "MANUAL ONE TIME LOCK"?
I don't understand the mode to force the EA tu use PIPS instead of %.
Sorry for these questions, but i think that TRAIL STOP, if used well, could be a powerfull instrument for traders!

Hi to all, expecially to Xmess.
I have an idea for next realeses of the EA:
Is it possible to show in the box of the EA not only the absolute maxium and minimum GAIN of the basket but also the reseoults of the past time you want (for example if i set a step of 1 HOUR, the EA show me the MAX GAIN and the MIN GAIN of the past hour . If i set 3 HOURS, the EA show me the MAX GAIN and the MIN GAIN of the past 3 hours and so on. If one could set also "show me the MAX and MIN gain of a selectable period of time (for ex: from 12:00 of 10/10/18 to 08:00 of 10/11/18 ) it could be FANTASTIC!
Only if is not too difficult to implement, but i think this could be very usefull to test the EAS.
What do you think?

EAs update

MT4 v44
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v44.ex4

MT5 v12
xm7_Ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v12.ex5


1. Fixed the display of the max/min digit resolution for precent. So now instead of 1 decimal you will see 2 decimals.. example 4.99% instead of 5.0%.

2. Fixed the SortByStrength option. No more zero divide or having the EA freeze cause of this bug.

3. Adjusted the MaxTradesAllowed. This was acting kinda funny in that sometimes you would get an extra trade.

4. Made adjustment for error(0) issue. Metatrade programmers have not provided an explanation for this error. So if the error appears the EA will skip the trade and continue.

5. Added a new input to the trail stop section. If you use this section you must tell the EA WHEN to start locking in profit. If you do not tell the EA when to start the EA will ignore the rest of the Profit Lock/Trail Stop inputs. Added a trail stop input for when u select TrailStop. So you have two inputs per selection:

When u select: PercentOfProfit you use
SetLockEvery, tells EA how many (pips/percent) for account to move before adjusting percent of profit stop
LockPercentLevel, tells EA the percent of profit to set the new stop at

When u select: TrailStop you use
SetLockEvery, tells EA how many (pips/percent) for account to move before adjusting trail stop
TrailStop, tells EA by how much (pips/percent) to trail basket

rav:
I recommend you stay with selection TRAILSTOP, do not mess with PERCENTOFPROFIT. PercentOfProfit was a request from the original creator of this thread.
If you don't understand it with the example that were given, you probably wont get it any time soon. Just use the TrailStop selection. That is the usual trail stop process that everyone uses.

So in your image you have set the following:
Select: TrailStop
StepLock: 180
BeginLockingProfit: 450
LockPercentLevel: is ignored
Manual One Time Lock: is ignored

So with that setup the EA will start locking profit when the basket reaches 450 pips.
Once it reaches 450 pips a stop loss trail of 180 pips will be set.
Then as for every time that basket profit increases 180 pips the trail stop will be moved so that the basket retains 180 pip stop.

But in the new version for this to work you will need to set the 180 to the new input called TrailStop.
Please download v44 and take a look at what I mean.

Thnx

Rav:

The reason for the max/min over the week is due to the original idea that this basket was going to run over the week. I will consider it your request. It can be done but I don't see the need for it, cause you can basically do the same manually by hitting the RESET button for the time interval you are interested in.

Since it would be a manual thing, it would require you to be in front of the machine at the times you desire your Max/Min results.

Once a real basket is opened you would then wait X amount of time. The x amount of time is the hours you mentioned (3 HOURS or whatever time you want to wait).
After the x amount of time has passed you then take note of the max/min and hit the reset button.

Like I said this is a manual operation so it requires that you be THERE at the moment the time is finished. The end results is that you will have the Max/Min for the length of time you need it and (depending on how long) you will lost some sleep, LOL.

Again I see no major benefit nor advantage to segmenting the recording of the max/min in this fashion. In fact I am considering letting it go for longer period than just a week. You see the idea behind this is to get the overall Max/Min values that you can use to determine your limits for money management. So what does it matter if you get these values over shorter periods since in the end you are going to end up looking for the highest and lowest overall values.

Hi, it's because you can watch the variability of baskets in different times. For me, could be usefull to backtests and to study new possibly strategies. The idea started because i remembered to have seen , some time ago, a dashbord (i don't remember the name) who tracked the MAX/MIN of baskets every hours.

No, BeginLocking Profit is only to tell the EA when to start locking in profit.

Take _ Profit Basket____ and Stop _ Loss Basket are separate and the EA will close the basket when profit reaches these values no matter what you have set for BeginLocking Profit

Correct for what rav?

I see you have selected Trail stop then the EA will
start locking profit when the basket reaches 480 pips (I assume you have set "Use Pips or % " to PIPS otherwise it will be 480%)

The EA will then set your trail stop to 180 pips (TrailStop is set to 180)
Then as your profit moves up ever 180 pips (Setlock is set to 180) the EA will move your trail stop to make sure is 180 pips.

The other parameters are ignored.

BTW I forgot to answer your other questions.
"Manual One Time Stop" will tell the EA to set a ONE TIME BreakEven stop once it reaches the BeginLockProfit level.
Once that happens then the stop stays as BE and is not changed.
I use this several times. I will set a One time manual stop at 5% and have no TP. So when the basket gets to 5% it is set to break even and I just let the basket go as far as it can. The farthest I let it run one times was 10%, I then closed the basket at that point. I know there could of been more but that was my target at that time.

"correct for what" is referred at what you wrote here: rav:

If you don't understand it with the example that were given, you probably wont get it any time soon. Just use the TrailStop selection. That is the usual trail stop process that everyone uses.

So in your image you have set the following:
Select: TrailStop
StepLock: 180
BeginLockingProfit: 450
LockPercentLevel: is ignored
Manual One Time Lock: is ignored

So with that setup the EA will start locking profit when the basket reaches 450 pips.
Once it reaches 450 pips a stop loss trail of 180 pips will be set.
Then as for every time that basket profit increases 180 pips the trail stop will be moved so that the basket retains 180 pip stop.

But in the new version for this to work you will need to set the 180 to the new input called TrailStop.
Please download v44 and take a look at what I mean.
