Hello,

I don't know why but my EA is not working or making any trades for the last couple of days. I don't understand why, I 'm using north finance and the last version.

Any suggestions?

Terranin, you make a valid point and thank you for thinking of the potential weakness of the system.

You speak of the slippage that could occur while trading live, and we all agree. But being that the system is not 100% perfect wouldn't slippage occur on both winning and losing, therefore offsetting each other?

For example: In a demo situation, a profitable trade has the potential for 20 pips, but because of slippage you get in 3 pips late and only make 17 pips.


On the opposite end, a losing trade in the demo environment loses 20 pips. Slippage forces you to get in a little late which means that you only lose 17 pips on the live account.

Does this make any sense?
No it does not have sence, ususally situation is always against you. So you will get 17 profit and 23 loss. It's like a spread losing or winning - you always pay it (in our situation sometimes slippage will be on your side, sometimes not but tendency will be negative). But it depends on broker, how quality service he provides. Maybe you can find broker without sleepage, who knows...

Hai!



I have been trading the demo for 7 days. The first three days was great, +1500 pips, one trade/day.
But last friday I put on the EA 09.00 London time, and it trade untill open trades was + 550 pips. Then I have lost 3000 pips. The result until today, 7 tradingdays, is -683 pips, 635 trades.

I believe I have to trade a little more before I trade with my real account. Thank you for warning me.

I think best time to start trade is 09.00 London time.
But when stop trading if it will lose? 30%?
And do you trade more that day?
Is it possible to have a "stop trade" in the EA if the loss is x % of the equity?
I believe we have to experiment with stop loss.

Regards

hi. i am installing your software to run testing on it, and I have run into a few problems. In the PDF installation file:

Quote
Extract TotalEACompound.rar, and get the
TotalEACompound.ex4 file, and put the file on :
“c:\program files\meta trader\config”
from looking, the default path for experts is
\MetaTrader 4\experts


nothing happened when i follow this instructions in the PDF, but when i extract this to the location i wrote, it shows up in MetaTrader in the EA menu.


ALSO, I dont know if its my error, but in MetaTrader 4, under the EA panel the TotalEACompound shows, but is not 'colored' like the other ones. It is greyed out for me ... did I install it wrong?
also, should the NoTrade, TotalTrades and PLeaseTrade .ex4 files all but in experts\scrips then?


also in the config

Quote
if you deposit $5,000 your maximum
loss before profit is about 50% * $5,000 = $5,000
if you deposit $10,000 your maximum
loss before profit is about 50% * $10,000 = $5,000
50% * $5,000 = $2,500, not as written.



thanks for the help, I added you to messenger list, so if i see you online I can talk to you in person.

your observations are correct. from my looks at the EA and what you have written you are right. both with where the ea should be installed, also it's not "colored" because it is only the compiled code (.ex4) thus it will show as a grey icon, if it was mq4 (aka source code, it would show as colored), either way it will work the same. you have the scripts installed correctly also. you've got it all right...good luck, but i've tried this EA and it works good only in very certain conditions, i made about 500 pips in 2 days, and then lost 2000 pips in the rest of the week (of course only on demo) so be sure you are only on demo, this will kill an account.

Hi there, Yohanip

I think it would be a great help if we could have a automtic stop loss in the EA.
If the Equity < X, then stop all trades.
Is this possible?

KADOK. Just open a demo account with MetaTrader and run the script, thats all (fake money).

You can use it also with (real money) but its risky now, I dont think its trusted yet.

Greetings everyone,

I am new to this system and this thread. I have some questions:

- Kadok25, would you please let me know the dates you were using this EA on your demo?

- Does this EA account for a ranging market and a trending market?

- Has anyone just traded one currency and reported manageable (less than 30/50% DD)?

- Has anyone traded this live with consistent results?

I am demo'ing with only the GBP/JPY 5m chart, London time only in order to limit the potential large DD.

Any responses are appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi there ottober8, no the EA is not based on martingale system, the martingale system may proves to be successfull at first, but in time, it will blow your account in one trade. Cubei-Method was not like that, you'll blow your account (margin called) after hundreds of trades..


Please allow me to update the current acumulative progress:
Cumulative result as of 12 Sept 2007

Total Trades : 1901 Trades
Profit : 3988 pips

you could allways confirm this to the demo account provided

considering the rebates:
3988 pips + 0.5 pips*1901 trades = 4938.5 pips

Thank you for being here

Hi,
I loaded this EA two days ago with time to start 12, worked great for the first day, then the next day more then 24 hours later no trades at all, just keeps saying "no trades allowed etc"

When I now enter time to start trading 0 which I think means will trade 24 hours just to test this it still has the same message that no trades are allowed, closing all trades

I am using North Finance with the lastest version, I have several EA's running with different pairs and these are working, plus this worked the first day and without touching it wont seem to resume again.

I am trading on the EUR/JPY and USD/JPY

Anyone else having the same issues? Really want to keep testing this but cant get it to activate anymore

Thanks

Steve

No history? that's odd, i've 41 trades yesterday..(12 Sept 2007), maybe you should go to the
'Reports Tab'->'Account History'->Custom Period-> 'Last Three Days'

i've marked the cumulative results with the color of red, means it has drawdowns.. yesteday, it suffer -91 Pips

The EA has reached it's ProtectProfit variable, the default set is 500pips, if you would like to command the EA to start working again, you should press 'F3' on the MetaTrader terminal and then set the global variable : "NoTrade" to "0" OR simply by executing "PleaseTrade" script

i really don't recommend setting the EA to works 24H, such as the London Opens would be a good time to start the EA to trade.
