BAT EA modification

  • #21
  • Aug 31, 2007 7:43pm Aug 31, 2007 7:43pm
The "only one trade" suggested by Mothman was a good idea.

I have attached the EA modified, and another version with the 61.8 fib SL (for Carlos, I don't know if it works).

I have tried original EA and modified one (the first) and have attached the forward testing for this week to this post.

The greater profits that I have seen for these EA were :

11k$ for the modified
9k$ for the original

I noticed that there is a lot of errors, too many errors on both and that the EA certainly doesn't work well and the results are far away of the manual trading system.

We have for example 520 pips this week for GBPJPY with the manual BAT system. Whereas the EA generates -97 with the original version and 528 pips with the modified.

Also the Relative Drawdown is too important even for the modified one.

Here is what are the net results that I have found with manual BAT system and some variations (for august 2007 on GBPJPY only, H1) :

Original BAT system : 775 pips
BAT system + TP fib 161.8 (for all trades) : 338 pips
BAT system [only one trade] : 1108 pips
BAT system [only one trade] + SL fib 61.8 : 900 pips
BAT system [only one trade] + SL fib 61.8 + TP fib 161.8 : 624 pips

See pictures attached.

So this EA you post is the modified one, BAT EA V1.5-1trade.mq4, and it produced 528 pips? Is this EA different than the one mothman posted, BAT EA V 1[1].5 free version.mq4? It would seem to be working well from the results this week.

Also can you direct where to go to get the indicators to trade it manually and how it's traded.

Thanks so much for your help
Jay
Correct for the first question (it's only on GBPJPY). The second, yes it is different, on BAT EA V1.5-1trade.mq4, there is only one trade (the first trade) against 4 trades (in fact 3 trades) for the "free version".

You will find the indicator here (BAT ATR v1.mq4) :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...97&postcount=3

This file OrderReliable.mqh here :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...5&postcount=10

And the (how to use) guide here :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...7&postcount=35

Other results for the modified version (for this week) :

AUDJPY : -2 pips
AUDUSD : 40 pips
GBPJPY : 528 pips
EURJPY : 287 pips
GBPUSD : -212 pips
NZDUSD : -20 pips

Total : 621 pips (net : about 562 pips)

This is the most attractive currencies pairs (to my opinion).

Funyoo,

Thanks for the work on the modified EA. I will forward test this week. It is great to have a community of forex traders with different skill sets being able to come together for the greater good.

So your saying with those 2 errors it is not opening any trades for you and trades should have been triggered and opened according to the strategy? I too get those same 2 errors when compiling but have not tested it yet to see if it would open trades or not.

Can't you just change the input parameters when you load the EA onto your chart?

You have to put the OrderReliable.mqh file in the include folder as described here :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...5&postcount=10

If this is already the case, I don't see any issue.

for those of you having trouble using the ea, have you checked the box that says "allow live trading" ? This is under the "Common" tab. Hope this helps.

I have placed, setup, and ticked all the indicators in the right place. But it is in the compiling of the ea that i get these messages. I pretty sure that it is an ea problem.

I am attempting to test the 3 Bat EAs that have been introduced on this thread.

1. On the BAT EA V1[1][1].5free version, there are trades being placed.

2. On the BAT EA V1[1].5-1trade-61.8, I get the following errors in the
Experts folder:

GBPJPYm, H1: non-retryableerror: 130:invalid stops
GBPJPYm, H1: failed to execute OP_BUY/OP_SELL, after 0 retries
GBPJPYm, H1: Failed trade:OP_SELL [email protected] tp@ 0.0 [email protected]
GBPJPYm, H1: last error: 130:invalid stops

3. On the BAT EA V1[1].5-1trade, I get the following errors in the Experts
folder:

GBPJPYm, H1: deinitialized
GBPJPYm, H1: last error: 2 common error
GBPJPYm, H1: failed to execute OP_BUY/OP_SELL, after 0 retries
GBPJPYm, H1: Failed trade:OP_SELL [email protected] tp@ 0.0 [email protected]
GBPJPYm, H1: last error: 130:invalid stops

I have been running EAs for several years and I know I have them loaded properly and the Bat Indicator is in the proper folders.

Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Well it was up about 70 pips on a short g/y and has stopped out at -67. Guess you need to close the trades manually.
Its still up a little on g/u short trade.
