Why did the 2.2 EA open a sell order on USD/EUR. It went straight to the stoploss. I didn´t see any signals (no cross) for sell order on the chart.
(sorry for my bad english)

Quoting the bhoy
I can relate - living in Japan.

You could simply open the trade a couple of hours before the close - not a lot of action happens then anyway. Or, if you really want to be sure of the cross, you could eyeball the charts before going to bed - put the fozzy2.2 EA on the charts which look ripe for a cross and let the EA put the trades on for you - you'd have to leave your computer on.

Or just have another coffee.
1. Where you I place the 'fozzy2.2 EA' file on my computer? Which directory?
2. How do I put 'fozzy2.2 EA' on the charts? Which option do I use? How can I import the file?
I am using North Finance for trading.
3. I put the 'fozzy2.2 EA' on the main window?

Many thanks guys!

same problem for me. I tried to attach it as Expert indicator, as a Custom indicator and it doesn't work or show anything.

Can anyone explain how to add this kind of indicators to MT4 ?

Thanks

OK guys (or possibly gals...... ) I'm not an 'EA person' but I will offer this: Did you place the EA in the 'Experts' folder of your MT platform? Not the 'Indicators' folder, but the 'Experts' folder? Did you "turn on" the "Expert Advisors" function in the toolbar on the top of the chart? And lastly, did you apply the EA to the desired currency pair? I played a little with this EA in the early days of it's creation; that's how I did it and it worked for me. HTH!

ok, I think I solved the problem. I selected "Allow live trading". I didn't know that people trust so much machines to let them trade automatically. Personally I trade fibonacci and I prefer to do it manually rather than trust some software.

Thanks for the original Fozzy, it's working good on highly volatile pairs like G/Y and G/U

Being used to the Oanda Trading platform im not really familiar with the feature called Trailing Stop. I tried to perform a serach in the forum to get some more info but i could not find anything useful. Since this is releted to my test with the Fozzy EA I thought i would post the question here instead. Hope you guys don't mind.

In the Fozzy EA, lets say price moves 15 pips in my favour. I would like to keep this profit but also not give up the possibility of further profits. What would be my settings for this in the EA?

Am I correct to assume that I set option Trailing Act=15 ? Also, would this mean that Trailing Step is the value for the "new" trailing stop in case prize moves further?

Example: EUR/JPY, Trailing Act=15, Trailing Step=15. Prize moves +15, this initiates TS which set stop loss att +15 level, prize moves another +15 and Trailing Stop is set at +30 level?

Also, with the above settings, prize moves +15 to active TS which will be new stop loss. If prize then moves against me it will close order with +15 profit?

Can somone shed some light on this? Or at least point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Ronny

I put on my chart a Fozzy_2.2 EA. Under placing stops section of the Fozzy ebook, Michael discusses a 70% ATR (20) method. My Fozzy_2.2 EA (under inputs) shows variable called Use_ATR_Pct and value 0.7! I guess that my Fozzy_2.2 EA has already activated a 70% ATR automatically, correct? Also it shows a Use_ATR_Stop variable, value true! (My Average True Range shows already a 20 period in the window.) Thanks a lot!

I've been looking at a few EA's and what I like about this one is that the settings don't have to be constantly updated. I also like the low drawdown shown here: ************** dot com on the GBPJPY pair. If you are trading with a percent of your balance then everytime you loose your next trade will be with less money. Seems like for every loss in forex it takes 2 wins to make it up. For me an EA that wins more often, but trades less is better. It's not all about pips. It's about increasing your account balance. The perfect EA should work on all pairs without periodic optimization. Still haven't found that one. Back to the ultimate goal - to increase account balance and this seems to be doing that on the GBPJPY pair.

Could someone please explain what the settings Trailingact & Trailingstep means in the EA? If I wanted to use a normail trailingstop what would be my settings? I want it to behave is it does when I apply a trailingstop to a manual order

Hi All,

I've set up my MT4 (StrategybuilderFX btw) to have all 16 pairs charted with the indicators and fozzy2.2 EA running on all the pairs.

I noticed that the EAs weren't always opening the orders I'd expected, and saw that error 146 messages were being generated that show 'trade context busy'. I understand that this is due to MT4 only allowing one thread to edit orders at a time, and so with 16 EAs running and this being a daily method so they get triggered at the same time, obviously one goes to open/modify the order and the others are blocked out.

I found an 'OrderSendReliable' library file online that's meant to address the trade context issue and added that to my installation and edited the EA to use this library. I'll check it runs ok tonight and providing I've not bodged it up, I'll post the library file and my edited fozzy2.3 EA on here for comment.

Hope this helps if anyone had the same behaviour.

I have the same experience that my fozzy2.2 EA doesn't open the orders automatically when there is a cross!? I don't know what I am doing wrong? Maybe I have to edit my fozzy2.2 EA settings?

It depends on why it's not opening the orders - have you checked the EA settings with the explanation given at the beginning of this thread? One main reason in the settings could be that you personally are not using the BBands as a filter but by default the EA does.

You should check the tabs in the Terminal panel to see if you are getting errors reported by the OrderSend or OrderModify functions. It'll read ERROR: <OrderSend> 146 or something like that (not at my home PC at the moment). If it is showing that error then hopefully my edits will have fixed that, but this will have to wait a few hours for me to check the results and then write up the details.

I am using Fozzy 2.2 but have had no signals on any pair for the two weeks it has been running. I have tried the various mods on this forum (Yes it does allow live trades). However when I back test using the identical settings I get signals. I am using the NEXTT terminal (MetaTrader) and have tried with and without the GMT set to 00.

Has anyone got any ideas as to where the problem lies - I have spent hours looking through the program, tried versions 2.0, 2.1 as well as 2.2 and with/without BB filter. Could it be fixed using Aplari platform instead of NEXTT?

Do you see the little face, or an 'X' in the upper right hand corner of the chart? Is it smiling?

After the EA has been running have you looked at the log under the Journal Tab and the log under the Experts Tab? Did either of them have any errors or unusual entries?

How many charts have you attached the Expert to?
