Hello guys! Hope you are green!
I need your consultation.
Icarus_2.2.4_Modified. Max_position = 6
During the Friday EU moved down and Icarus initiated 6 buy positions. Today it's going up and Icarus opened 6 sell positions,
not waiting to close any one of previous set.
I haven't seen such trading "bugs(?)" till today. What did I do wrong? What should be changed? What to check?
Thank you for your ideas!

BTW, I was in the almost same circumstance since last Thursday and an hour ago the buy cycle closed with a fairly good profit on my live account
Hi Mapi , TeChaoLiang and all! Have you run this EA (dicussed here) on live account? What is setting and result? Can broker interfere my EA settings if i run it on my live account? Please share and advise me.
No, a broker cannot change settings of the EA, but a shitty broker might take action against it, you have to find a broker who is willing to accept winning clients
For settings pls do your on back and fronttest, there are many different ways EA can trade for you...Cheers

Icarus v4.0.1_Beta
With HEDGE Function
Dear Fellow Traders;
Here is the Beta version of Icarus 4.0.1 attached which is equipped with the HEDGE function.
Let's take a look at bellow picture which shows opened positions for the main cycle (Buy in this example) and Hedged positions (Sells)
In this example position 1,2,3,5,7,9 are for the main cycle while position 4,5,8,10 are Hedged ones.
The Hedge function here is set to trigger on 3rd position of the cycle (which is very low and is just for testing and debugging the EA)
A new hedge is triggered whenever the next position of cycles needs to be opened and at the very same moment, the first open position of the cycle gets closed.
It goes further until Buy_TP (in this example) is triggered and all the positions will be closed.
This function will be absolutely effective on lowering the Drawdown and consequently lowering the risk of account blowing up.
Compare 2 pictures bellow to get what I mean:
These are completely random periods and random setting (Start Hedge =6) just for comparison.
As far as this is the first version of beta it has problems that need to be taken care of and I'll do my best to make it perfect.
Suggestions BESIDE TESTING AND BACKTESTING are welcome and appreciated.
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well .. I download Icarus 2.2 a while ago and I decided to test it on a demo with default settings on three pairs. For three months everything was looking good and I decided to apply the EA to a live account ($3K). Things are also looking good there. However, I haven't changed any of the settings and the EA seems to run just fine. Is there any reason why I should upgrade to another version of this EA. I read that a lot of people run into bugs and I don't want to mess anything up.
I may test the new 4.0.1 on a demo account.
I hope everyone is doing well

{quote} It has been an interesting idea for systems like Icarus and I am making it happen. Because it could be a sort of fuel for Icarus to let it goes higher. I am working on the hedge function and will post results here to improve this option on Icarus. Icarus is a sophisticated one and adding such capability needs so many variables to be modified and some functions to be added. Therefore many contributions are needed here.
Are you mind to share the code with us, I just want to track the changes done? Thank you
{quote} I just spend 2 hours trying every single setting there is (or a lot) in my strategy tester and I cannot get it to work. I tried 2.2 and that works flawlessly. I will keep trying.
.. I got the spread wrong. The currency pairon which I was testing had 35 spread and the EA max was set to 25.

EURUSD 01.2021-11.2021 Icarus2.2 - good result ? How make better ?{image}
You need to:
First, use better quality data by downloading reliable data and uploading it in mt4 using the F2 key on your keyboard.
Second, use model "Every tick" in strategy tester instead of "Open price only"
{quote} I have also much problems especially with indices what are going to freeze my Plattform (i.e. setting the ProfitLock up to 0.6, or trade permanently without indicator launch) I´m sure that Farzad666 can fix this issues. Report as much issues you can guys
