I've just now updated the software for the BDX strategy...

R4M-BDX-ADR.ex4 -- this is the indicator work horse. The EA's get their signals from the indicator.
R4M-BDX-DashboardEA.ex4 -- dashboard EA for manual trading
R4M-BDX-EA.ex4 -- single pair, auto-trading EA
R4M-BDX-AllPairs.ex4 -- multi-pair, auto-trading EA

I've uploaded new versions of the BDX software -- one indicator and 3 Expert Advisors. This is now version "2.00.19262". The software can be downloaded from the other thread -- "Custom Indicators for TMA-ADR Reversal Trading and BBMA" (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=920925). All indicators are bundled in a single *.zip file. Indicators must be installed under MT4's 'Indicators' folder and EAs must be installed under the 'Experts' folder. To avoid version skews, please make sure that all indicators and EAs come from the same *.zip file.

Changes:

* Made some minor changes to address the problem @simontw reported about missing Exits. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem so I can't say for sure these modifications will make any difference.

* Added a "diagnostic" log file that records trades made by the AllPairs EA. The log file is named R4M-BDX-AllPairsEA.log and lives under
..\<Data Folder>\MQL4\Files.

* For Entries there is now only one option -- Consecutive Candles (CC). I've removed Heiken Ashi transitions. CC is now used both for Entries and Exits.

@R4M, the push notifications for the dashboard EA in this version are not working. The push notifications for the BDX-ADR indicator are working fine prompting me to think its a bug

@alblive -- I'll take a look. But you have to post a full screen shot -- this little snippet of a picture is useless. I mean -- you don't even include the time frame. The cost is the same whether you post a snippet or full chart -- just a few more electrons. The Internet can handle it.

Also please include screen shots of the 'Trade' and 'Account History' tabs.

Also, the use of this CC will terminate profit earlier than expected. will this be good for us?

@Isensefx -- please -- full screen shot of the chart, along with the 'Trade' and 'Account History' tabs. This snippet of an image is basically useless if you're expecting me to help troubleshoot.

Yes. Because sometimes it will also protect the trade from going to SL. You'll notice that even though the trade closed early it was still a winner.

@Isensefx -- don't you see that you can only say "it terminated profit earlier than expected" because when you view the chart in the future you can now see the trade would have turned around again? But in real-time -- that is, at the time the CC Exit occurred -- there was a risk the trade could have gone against you to SL.

Again -- you can't use an indicator to make judgments against an EA. An EA makes a decision based on the data it has on hand at that moment -- i.e. in real-time. The indicator has an advantage because it gets to use data that arrived after the EA had made its best decision.

@Isensefx -- you are not alone -- so this is not personal. But why does this keep coming up? Don't people understand that indicators have the advantage of hindsight whereas EAs do not?

EDIT: @Isensefx -- I like the way you asked your question, which allowed me to respond without getting defensive. Once again -- you are too polite. And this issue about how indicators and EAs see data differently is important. My tone sounds frustrated, but I'm not really. I understand that on the surface it seems that indicators and EAs should mirror one another exactly. And I also struggled with that for a long time. But since programming brings one closer to the data then at some point the light bulb goes on.

New version is working nicely.
Perfect for H1.
I am looking at H4 and wondering how people are doing with the auto exits on H4 and if it has impacted profitability?
Much rather have small losses than huge SL and like R4M says you never know.

I had issues this week with exits but did my best to manage following are my results. Less than last week but still green.
H1 50% ADR

I haven't tried the new version yet but with old version, H4 is terribly in red. Huge DDs on all GBP pairs.

this strategy works well in choppy market.
Huge DD due to
1. strong momentum(one direction without retrace)
2. open multiple position on loss position(if u enable for it)
3. Risk > Reward setting.

As you mention on GBP pairs, huge DD due to 3 factors I mentioned above.
