{quote} Thanks Is there an option to set a number of max trades allowed for the pair? Sorry if I'm being completely blind but I've checked numerous times I'm testing another strategy on the same demo account, and because there is already a manual trade open on the required pair, the EA states that no trade is allowed as max trade's for the pair (1) has already been reached. The manual trades are not using magic numbers, so I'm thinking that the EA just checks to see if there is an open trade for the pair, regardless of its own magic number Thanks...
There's no external setting - it's hard-coded to 1 within the EA.

It always uses the magic number when going through the trade history. One possibility is that the start date for the range is being corrupted - this was a bug in an earlier version...which version are you using?

Here is how it looks like on another account after installing the new EA version with range from the candle body only. {image}
That looks correct to me.

When using the body to determine the range, the timeframe becomes a factor, because the close of candles can vary from timeframe to timeframe.

{quote} I remind you that the credit goes to sangui who coded almost all of the EA "MoTu_S_v1.4.1_Close_Wed_Thu_or_Friday_SL_real" I have made only a few minor changes to meet certain needs. Whose deed ...

I'm sorry to say that quite a lot has now gone wrong since I wrote that.,
Two orders were taken which are now running which is fine,
BUT then the EA started to delete all buy orders,
So I started to manually place the buy order then, I realised as I look back on the orders I had manually placed, the EA had deleted them as well,
So I am left with 14 sell order, and the EA will not allow me to place any pending orders,
So I'm just going to let all this run And then I will evaluate it,
I was manually trading this system when I first started but it takes a long time to place pending orders,
That's why I gave the EA's ago,
I'm of the opinion this system is so simple we don't really need EA's,
we need something that can let us place pending orders in a block that only takes a couple of minutes,
and then it's a waiting game.
THANK ANYWAY

Your latest version posted, screenshot showing manual trade's open by me on AJ, the EA thinks it can't place an order,when in theory it should (as there is no other order open on that pair using the magic number defined by the EA)

Hmmm...

As a test, I have manually submitted an order on GBPCAD, and as you will see below, the EA has completely ignored it:

Can you turn on the debugging option:

This should turn on the debugging messages:

Can you then show me a quick screenshot of the messages you're getting?

Can you also look through your history for all AUDJPY trades for the magic number, and let me know how many there are?

I think I know what's happened here

When I replaced the EA with your latest version,my template values were overwritten with the default ones (including the magic number)

In the time it took me to re do my template across the chart's I have loaded the EA on, its taken a trade using your default magic number.

I closed this trade it had taken as I wanted all my magic numbers aligned.

So I changed it to my own magic number, but,it won't take a trade because I believe it recognises that the EA took a trade earlier, even though that initial trade on AJ had a different magic number to the or I've input / amended on my template.

This may be a 'one off' as in the ideal scenario we wouldn't be touching it after Wednesday began. The only reason I did was because of the updated versions issued

I guess the only thing is suggest is to allow repeat trade's if the magic numbers are different.

I'll leave that to your discretion

NZD is the Conor McGregor of currency, somebody just needs to knock that Kiwi out, no reason for NZD to be strong, it’s ruining our system

Thanks.

Looking at the messages, you will see it says "Open orders: 9 (this symbol: 1)".

This means that you currently have 9 orders open for this magic number, and one of them is for the current symbol.

The EA ignores any orders with a different magic number. I suggest that you double-check the magic number against those 9 open orders.

To prove this, I've changed the magic number on the EA on one of my charts, and now get the following:

As you will see it says 'Open orders: 0 (this symbol: 0)' but I actually have 12 trades running right now.

I changed it back, and you will see it's updated again:

Update as of 2PM GMT.

16 pairs with orders:

  1. AUDCAD
  2. AUDCHF
  3. AUDNZD
  4. AUDUSD
  5. CADCHF
  6. EURAUD
  7. EURCAD
  8. EURCHF
  9. EURGBP
  10. EURNZD
  11. EURUSD
  12. NZDCAD
  13. NZDCHF
  14. NZDUSD
  15. USDCAD
  16. USDCHF


Trades open:

  1. AUDUSD SELL
  2. EURNZD BUY
  3. NZDCHF SELL
  4. NZDUSD SELL

They don't seem to be doing well. Seems like just temporary weakness on NZD and AUD.
News maybe. Probably that thing about 30 South Australians found with Coronavirus.

Edit as of 3PM GMT: All 4 trades above just got destroyed by a sudden rise in AUD and NZD.

Though day!

Holding trades as per rules till Friday. TP2 Target. Move to BE when price reaches TP1.

AUDUSD trade below. <-- Already closed at SL.

Hi redfan
That is exactly what I produced. Works well snd creates 52 orders (26 buy/sell). It will now run until Friday when I will close all that are left. Thought you had used it. Don't understand what the difficulty is, except people want more.

{quote} Nothing wrong with TA, however, I'm sorry to disagree, as I have just completed a visualiser to look back as far as the eye can see I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Not the "Holy Grail", but then nothing is. Not you necessarily but why do people just post opinions without posting any facts or research. This strategy isn't bad but may probably be better long term with a trend filter if only a simple MA, a breakeven and trailing stop. This is an EA and runs on initialisation. Only lines drawn no csv file output. Just change tf to...
There is that many EA's on here with similar names even the owners are getting mixed up,
they are looking at queries and finding out it not even their EA,
why don't they delete them from the list when there is something wrong with it,
As you know I was following your EA work and the last thing I read was you are not doing anything else,
as for your last EA I thought you were still working on it, if you are saying it's working which pages is it on,

I think you have the same magicNumber on all graphs.
When a trade was taken, the EA canceled the pending reverse order and all the orders of the same direction and with an identical magicNumber are passed "to the hatch".
Remember to define a magicNumber difference for each pair.
You can iron them now with a different magicNumber; it should work...
