See Qpip I'm weird like that, I worry now that my house will catch fire when i go on my pip paid holiday to bermuda because my future unborn autobots are trading away up and down on the GBP/JPY causing a mininova from the heat radiating from my plug sockets.

LOL mininovas vibrating and becoming resistances (in both senses of the word) overheating and CABOUM ! call the FIRESTATION but no, you're sipping some weird named drink in Bermuda.

Hmmm why not bring your puter in Bermuda exactly?

Anyway, what's the url for the server, or is a personal thing, I remember someone mentioning one (samsam?), and does it cost something? (alotta questions)

The other advantage is that (if I remember correctly) you couldn't trade/monitor from work because of a firewall. But now (eventually) with your new job, will you be able to do this?

I don't know.......... my own machine or a dedicated server physically based "somewhere" managing my precious $bots$...........

Dedicated Servers

If you are using an expert advisor it is best if you use a dedicated server to host your metatrader. The dedicated
server will not lose its connection to the internet like your home cable or dsl connection will do. If you want
the ultimate in up time for your metatrader and your expert advisor then you need to get a dedicated server.
Godaddy has a plan for only $30 a month so this is very affordable.

You will need to choose a Windows 2003 dedicated server as part of your hosting plan. Once you get set-up with a hosting plan you will just log-in to your server using the username and password provided to you. After a few seconds you will be connected to the server. You will see a desktop appear which will look just like your home computer. Download the metatrader that is associated with your broker. Log-in to your live account using the username and password provided to you by your broker.

Uploading your expert advisor to your dedicated server

You will need to upload the expert advisor you are using to your server. The way to use this is to get an FTP client such as WS_FTP which is an excellent one. You will just need to open up the WS_FTP software and connect to the dedicated server you purchased.

To connect you will have to click on "Connection Wizard" it will ask you to give your site a name. Call it Metatrader 4 for example then click on next. Now you will have to enter the IP address for your Windows 2003 server that was provided by your hosting company. It will be a number like 208.767.909.545 for example.
After you enter this number click on "next" and you will now be asked for the username and password for your server. Enter this information into the boxes and click on "next" twice and you should now be logged into your dedicated server.

At the top left of the WS_FTP software you will see a window that says "My computer" Click in that window and navigate over to the location of your expert advisor you want to put on the dedicated server. Once you locate it just double-click on it and it will start uploading to your server. This will only take about 2 seconds.

Once this is done look at the desktop of your dedicated server and you should see your expert advisor. Right-click on it and copy it. Then navigate over to C:\Program Files\BROKER NAME 4\experts folder. Then paste the expert advisor into that folder. Close out metatrader 4 and re-open it. You will now have your expert advisor visible in the navigator window ready to be added to a chart.

Got the above out my Forex Vault.

As for trading at work with my new job

No I don't think so, will be very busy actually working this time hehe

Imagine I'm working in the FX department in one of the biggest Investment banks in the world and I get caught privately trading at work! I would probably go to jail

I have the EA attached to several different pairs with a different magic number on each but it seems when a position is open it will not open another position for another pair until the previous open position is closed. Am I doing something wrong? Please Help

Yeah, your situation is, to say the least, extremely peculiar. Kinda caught between the trunk and the bark, or being the mustard in a sandwich, or having one hand touching gold and the other holding an anti-gold grenade that goes off the minute hand 1 touches the said gold. I'm getting carried away in imagery there, but I frankly am giving a lot of thought to your situation hehehe. What a super experience you'll be getting there anyway Quite exciting times ahead.

Anyway, you've gone to bed now (I'm talking to myself in other words) but I wanted to thank you for the info RE the dedicated server. I'm going to give this some thought. Chi-a-o

Well I have a chart open for each pair and correct tf that you have tested and I have dragged the EA onto each chart and changed the magic number for each pair, 100,101,102,103,104 etc. I set up all parameters as you have here and just changed the magic number:

I thought the EA still takes the trade even if it is way past the signal, right? So when I attach the EA it should look back and enter me in the trade even if it is 20 bars after the signal, right?

For example, even right now I insert the EA onto the AUD/JPY 4h tf and its not opening the trade? Shouldn't it as all parameters are met?

I haven't yet joined the "market" because I have other things to tend to right now, but will be getting in in about 1 hour (at 22:00 EST). I'll have a look at how my bots are behaving and comparing with yours.

In the meantime can you post a chart ?

Here it is and the magic number is 100, then I have other pairs set up like this and I just change the magic number higher, for example i will put 101 for next pair.

P.S. Shouldn't the EA have entered me in the trade here even though well past the signal?

In my opinion, the answer is yes

Let me get my engins started and see what happens in my case. I'll post in a few minutes. Please confirm: that's audjpy 4H, filters = false, stop loss = no, trailing stop 250.

Same here. However as you can see, in my case there "was" an earlier signal which might cause interference, not sure about that...... Actually, the bot isn't supposed to remember, that's actually a BUG it has. Now (in my case) it seems to REMEMBER, but not in your case.

OR....... it's a function of the 4H - when is your 4H candle ending....??? that might JUST BE THE ANSWER!

Let's put our heads together and THINK

My 4h candle ends in 66 minutes. I also noticed your chart says Supernova EA, did you just rename it becasue its not called that here from where I downloaded it.

Yes I did rename it Excellent sense of observation you've got there.

Let's see what happens in 66 mins !!!!!!! (what will happen to me is = horizontal position + darkness + covers brrrrrrrrrr cold here + brain dozing off because it's LATE and I'm little LITTLE tired) but I'm leaving the whole family of bots (4 instances of MT4) running away in fields of glory and will wake up tomorrow to start analysizing all the "action" from sunday evening.)

Monitor your bots carefully, and try to analyse what's going on. Questionning results is good.

Nah amazing.

My bread and butter bots (standard lots) aren’t even supposed to perform this well. Look at the pic. Made 40 pips (400$ or thereabouts standard lotting) in less than an hour ON A SUNDAY night!

Going to bed for real now. Amazing.
