Hello evryone and R4M, thank you for this great EA. I was running the 252 version and everything went well!, this weekend i installed the new version 262 and having this error. I tried it on several pair, but when i insert the EA to G/J for example, it gives me the error Symbol not supported: GBP/JPY. I installed back the old one 252, but it gives the same error. Can anyone please tell me what the problem can be? Keansajeweki {image}
Hi keansajeweki,

Try this:
click on View, Symbols
click on GBPJPY and click Show.
GBPJPY should turn yellow to indicate it is on the list of symbols.

{quote} Hi R4M & BD, A big THANK YOU for sharing your work. Thinking about the restrictions on US retail traders, there may be a way to adapt. H1 time frame. I tried changing BDX All PairsEA ver 19262 to: Max Trades = 1; Larger Lot Size = 1; (equivalent to 10 x small lots) Lower StopLoss Fraction = 0.20; Lower TakeProfit = 0.12 I'm still adjusting the SL to make the DD smaller. Here are some of the results for yesterday & today. The highlighted trade is from a different EA, NOT from BDX AllPairs EA. So far, it looks like perfection. While I was...
Thanks! I think I really do love your idea!

Hi timidave,
Now trying approximately 1:1 R/R with SL at 0.15 and TP at 0.12 and 0.15.
Also found not to allow live trading during Asia sessions on Sunday night.

Many thanks for the update. Any specific pairs you trade? Then only Asian sessions for Sunday nights to be avoided?

Thank you Northwind, but GBP/JPY and EUR/USD are yellow, so that's not the problem.

@keansajeweki -- the image you uploaded shows "EURUSD", and not GBPJPY or EURAUD.

From the settings, is 'Use Market Watch for pairs to trade' set to 'true' or 'false'. Also, what is the list of 'PairsToTrade'.

Can you upload a screenshot of your MarketWatch window that shows GBPJPY, EURAUD and EURUSD listed.

Does your broker use suffixes?

What is different between the times the EA worked and now?

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 "2.00.19273". 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:

* CC Exit -- fixed a "boundary-case" condition. A "boundary-case" is a rare condition that might occur. I noticed this while reviewing the code -- it did not occur while testing.

* Dashboard EA -- fixed alerts -- I think.

* Added two more Exit Types -- "Crosses midline OR HAS Exit" and "Crosses midline (alone)". So, there are now 3 types of Exits:
1. Crosses midline or CC Exit
2. Crosses midline or HAS Exit (Heiken Ashi Smoothed)
3. Crosses midline (alone)


Regarding Exit Types -- I think my preference is now "Crosses midline or HAS Exit". Though the CC Exit worked okay to protect against hitting the SL, it often prematurely terminates trades that eventually would close as winners. The HAS Exit may be a better compromise -- it also protects the SL but doesn't prematurely terminate trades as often as CC Exit -- at least in my hands. Please do not take my word for it -- the burden is on you to figure out the best settings. My role is NOT to spend days, weeks, months testing and then pass along the best settings. It's my hope those who use the software will share their results so, collectively, we can all benefit.

I added the "Crosses midline (alone)" for those traders who find the CC Exit or HAS Exit too conservative and are willing to tolerate a little higher risk.

Hello R4M. I ment, that no matter wich pair i had on my chart, the alarm is given on that pair. I now installed the new version 19273, but getting the same error.
there is no difference between then and now. There are no Sufflixes as you see.

@keansajeweki -- you will need to troubleshoot this yourself and when you have a better understanding of what's causing the problem then I can step in and help fix it (if it is truly a bug). There are too many people successfully using the software -- so, the problem is most likely localized at your end.

Try using a demo account. Try a different broker. If it used to work but something changed, then you are the one in the best position to figure out what changed.

Can you please upload a screen shot of the input settings.

Yes I think CC Exits was a great idea. But in practice, it does not seem to work out. It is a shame as I was very excited by this added feature. But profits are way down which as R4M mentioned to me before could be current market conditions, but, I am more inclined to think that just in practice they do not work as well as we all hoped. Not to worry this is why we all test it together.

I think back to earlier versions where @bishopdotun would recover from losses extremely quickly due to all the positive trades coming in.

Edit...I just saw the update. Thank you very much R4M for the choice in exits.

@keansajeweki -- thank you for persevering -- I found a problem.

The error message has an error. The problem is not with EURUSD but with another pair. The reason the error message reports EURUSD is because that is the chart the AllPairs EA is currently attached to.

I've just now uploaded a new version of the software that should report the pair that is really causing the problem. And then you should be able to check whether that pair is available in MarketWatch. So -- please re-download and re-install version 19273 and let me know which symbol is not supported.

LOL. Actually, CHF was the big bandit today. The one or two GBP trades were profitable.
I'm moving the SL up a few notches for Tuesday.

Many thanks R4M...for providing and allowing testing us 3 different exit options. I do agree so far Crosses Midline or HAS Exit seems to be the best...

Thank you very much, problem solved, I only don't understand why USDSGD gives an Error, because it is on my market list.

Why remove it from the marketwatch?, if the EA doesn't support this pair anymore, shouldn't I remove it from the EA?
