About Icarus, YES I've been testing it since the very early stages of this thread.
But in terms of Robin, I've got some confusions that need some time to take care of and I haven't gotten round to going deep inside it yet.

For Icarus v4.0 you can check the "Journal" tab in your Terminal.
If you couldn't fix or resolve the problem, share a screenshot from that tab for getting help from people here.

{quote} For not confusing every one, I give version number 4.0 for the new Icarus. Icarus 4.0 covers all possible triggering functions of Icarus 2.X and Icarus 3.X. {file}{file}
Hi,

I was able to do some test tradeing with 4.0. I think we had a major misunderstanding, maybe I was not clear enought

The invert function you coded is changing if we want to buy or sell when the condidion is true. But I am looking for invertasion of the trigger, so e.g. if it's true on the BollingerBands I want to open cycle within the bands, when price is going out of the bands no new cycle will be open.

Anyhow, it is great we have now trend and contratrend within the same version

Could you be so kind and give me an invert of the trigger for the three indicators (this I would call "invert", you could name the function of buy/sell "direction") and also add a logic that EA is recalculating ATR (if it is triggered) at the start of each cycle?

Cheers

{quote} To learn a language, nature language or programming language, the best way I think is beginning from emulation. You can find an EA, not too simple and not too sophistic to begin your emulation and cross check the MQL4 document for understanding its meaning. MQL4 document can be found at https://docs.mql4.com/. It will not take you too much time to learn how to code in MT4. I begin to code MT4 since 7 months ago.
Hi, thanks for your time here. Please I do not have previous knowledge in the field of coding and if I want to start coding on mt4 what is the best way to go about it?
Thanks once again.

Hi, yes I am trading with Icarus on my live account. I am still using a beta of my old coder, but with Icarus 4.0 you have all functions I am having and more...There are no "right" settings, there is only your risk appetite and a lot of back- and fronttests...

Personaly I am accepting higher risk so do I look for higher gains...I am running it on m5, 3BB + stoch 30/70 + RSI 49/51 (you can ignore this) on a 5/1/8/0.89/0.05/3 setting on EURUSD...Staring account size was 5k begin of year, atm the accout just crossed 11k (in June I was down to 1.4K due to a liqidation)...Leverage is 1:400...

As you can see I traded more than 540 lots this year But again, this is not the best seting, this suits my own risk appetite...Also I was doing quite a bit action via the hot buttons of the EA...If you want to go crazy like this you need a prime broker and prime conditions (my avg. spread is 0,15 pips + 3€ Com/Lot, zero margin on hedged positions) and of course a high leverage...When using more soft settings you can also run it on 1:33 leverage...

You can add me here so I will do add you, my buddies on Forexfactory can follow my account here...

Cheers

Have you tried the on XAUUSD or EURUSD? Try them on EURUSD, start a backtest...It might be you use settings wich are not working in the market you have choosen or you do not understand the settings, so the EA is waiting for the setup to open a cycle. Via EURUSD and a backtest you gonna find out...

Hello

Sharing some info about live performance.
On my account I'm using Icarus 3.3M with ATR mod. Broker is Dukascopy; Its on the GBPUSD, the few USDJPY trades are not connected to Icarus. Have a look at the report as a picture is worth a 1000 words.

I think its fairly conservative. The return is $4.50 per day or roughly 1% per week. The Max P/L has been a about a $100 more at 330 or so.
I may speculate with an additional pair beyond the Cable but I'm still learning the EA

Cheers
