Hi mrgmrg,
I,ve been running a test on my ThinkFx demo $45000 (1:500) and it went crazy. Yesterday $2000 profit and today, not over yet over $1000-in 2 days
68 Lots and max $3928DD...now sitting at -$78DD....pretty impressive (using EU no loss with locking) max Lot size 10.26.
Running another test with EU M5 trend and reversal...will report back.

Hi Johanes

If you set a small signal file without SL, there is rarely a loss, the key is to set the MM well.

But to avoid a margin call during prolonged trending, Action_If_Over_DD can be activated

Mrgmrg,
I did activate DD
I also run a 5k demo with ICM , installed V9b EURUSD M5 Trend and Reversal
Result no DD
Reversal: 15 trades/max 0.32L Profit $473-1$19 commission=$454 (winner 15/15)
Trend: 5 Trades/max 0.76-0.82L Profit $420-28=$392 (Winner 5/5)
Good work Mrgmrg-great result

I'm using Equity Guard which will close partial trades at x perc and closes all at Y

Or make a new Option: check Magic only 1 Chart / check Magic all Charts

Hi Johannes

Sorry can be explained in more detail, what does it mean Trend Reversal, does it use two charts with Reversal = true and Reversal = false? What is meant by 2.43-4.43?

Hi BW-man

Actually, if only a unique check per account only 1 transaction is simple. But this EA has already combined with the unique key with Magic number + Pair + Order manualy.

It can still add options like that, but it takes time, mybe next version if possible.

It's just for example an EU order entry, then another Pair has an opportunity to order but the opportunity cannot be implemented (unfortunately losing the chance to order)

Hi mrgmrg,

i dont know if i undertand it Right. You say, this check is already in the script ?
Then how it is possible, that the EA open different pairs, if i set it to allow only 1 ?

The script, used to be like that, but has been changed as it is now since the beginning of the version ...
Current conditions, meaning that max_open_position = 1 is only for first triger (not including marting or locking).
And the unique key is Magic_number + Pair, so,, if the Pair is different, of course EA can order again.

i understand the "max open positions". He open 1 Trade in EURUSD with magic 1994, and then come the martin with up to e.g. 10 Trades. I know this.
BUT he open the same in GBPUSD with 1 Trade and magic 1994, and martin up to 10....

There is no Differenz. I can do EURUSD with magic 1994, and GBPUSD with magic 1995. The result ist 100% the same.
And this is the logic Problem. If i have allow only to open 1. And have the same magic. Then can only this pair open who is faster. And the other pair, can not open a new trade, because a other pair have already open.

Do you understand what i try to explain ?

This is the Problem, that so many guys here, crash the account, if they use more then 5 pairs. because 5 pairs = up to 50 open trades in same time.
If he check the magic, and i have 5 pairs, then i can only have open 10 trades at same time.

and another quest: why he open with different lots ?
USDCAD with 0.10 lots
EURUSD with 0.09 lots
EURCAD with 0.08 lots
EURAUD with 0.08 lots

and yes, all have the same set with Auto MM. All set to 0.1

Yes, I know what you mean.
When opening a lot of pairs, of course the capital strength must be calculated, for example, each pair of 1%, if 5 pairs together will use a lot of margin.
So for small signals I recommend only 2 pairs and with MM max 0.3%,
For normal signal, it's still okay because closing is only in a few minutes.

ok, and one future more, for more security vs crash.
A check for enough Money. E.g if i have 8 trades open in 1 pair. and another pair will now open the first trade. But my margin is low, but the first trade to open is possible. then he will open. At here the Point to surive is the quest.

It exist the function "ordercheck". This will be nice to set e.g. if my Money under 50%, he dont open a new trade.

What you think ?

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/trading/ordercheck

here the Ready script:
void OnStart()
{
//---
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE types[]={ORDER_TYPE_BUY,ORDER_TYPE_SELL};
//,ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT,ORDER_TYPE_SELL_LIMIT,ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP,
ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP,ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP_LIMIT,ORDER_TYPE_SELL_STOP_LIMIT,ORDER_TYPE_CLOSE_BY};
MqlTick tick;
if(!SymbolInfoTick(_Symbol,tick)) return;
double lowerlimit=tick.bid-500*_Point;
double upperlimit=tick.bid+500*_Point;

for(int t=0;t<ArraySize(types);t++)
{
double margin;

for(double price=lowerlimit;price<upperlimit;price+=10*_Point)
{
string msg=StringFormat("Type: %s Symbol: %s Volume: 1.0 Price: %f",EnumToString(types[t]),_Symbol,price);

if(OrderCalcMargin(types[t],_Symbol,1.0,price,margin))
printf("Margin %.2f. %s",margin,msg);
else
printf("Margin can't be calculated, error %i. %s",GetLastError(),msg);
}
}
}

double margin;
//--- to receive information about the last tick
MqlTick last_tick;

if(SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick))
{
//--- reset the last error code
ResetLastError();
//--- calculate margin value
bool check=OrderCalcMargin(type,Symbol(),lots,last_tick.ask,margin);
if(check)
{
PrintFormat("For the operation %s %s %.2f lot at %G required margin is %.2f %s",OrderTypeToString(type),
Symbol(),lots,last_tick.ask,margin,AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_CURRENCY));
}
}
else
{
Print("Unsuccessful execution of the SymbolInfoTick() function, error ",GetLastError());
}

Why are lots different?
If use MM.
1. MM is calculated from Free Margin (not of balance or Equity)
2. The price per lot of each pair is different in price today (eg EU $ 228 / lot, GU $ 262 / lot on ICmarket)

DD from 86% is near the crash. Try this with real Money. And you will never can Sleep.

here is my account, only 5.81%. Ok, only up 10% per day. but lesser Risk.

Wow . . . .you are too brave to use MM, so DD reaches 80%. If possible it is limited to 50-60%.
Plann next version, provided a reserve fund. For example, capital of 1000 only trades 60%, so that's 40% for reserves. In the case of a big DD, raised funds to be traded for example to 80%.
