you are definetely doing something wrong

200 pips for yesterday and the day before for those who were awake or use the EA
i don't think so, different broker will produce different result.

yesterday someone got stoped for long, while me and some other don't even got triggered, the day before i got +98 and price move down because of weak housing data, someone has reported he got +100, and the day before i saw the price move to -49 but reverse and hit +100, other might got stopped..

Anyone planning on demo/real trading the NFP news tomorrow? If so, I just wrote a little StopTrailing EA for some other purpose, but I think if someone is planning on trading the news, it might come in handy to move stops to break even and trail.... Let me know if anyone wants it.

Nicotina's system for the GBP/USD, uses the time window of 2200 until 0600 GMT.

I have IBFX. I show the high and low as:
High 2.0309
Low 2.0254

Thank you billbss!

I had the correct time window for the EA params. However, I messed up when I used 'the box' to highlight the candles and forgot to change the time params in 'the box' to the proper values for the pair I was trading ...... so I read the prices listed in my post from the 'box' values displayed on the screen which were highlighting the wrong candles. If I had been a bit more attentive (and a little less lazy) I would have noticed the time stamp on the candles - surprised the prices were as close as they were. Lesson learned!

No, you dont.
Saaedb,
Some other issues/questions for the EA:

1) EA did not close sell pending order (223.58) from yesterday yet. For today, it found right high and low values. However, it just starting buy pending order (226.25). Any comments

2) When BreakEvenStop becomes active in the program? Say Buy order is 230.00 TP=100, SL=100... Buy order becomes active it goes up to 230.30 and then goes back to 230.00, in this scenerio, is BreakEvenStop going to close order as even? is there certain amount of pips that it becomes active? And BreakEvenStop is not like true/false, are you using 1/0 instead?

3) Same question for TrailingStop. Say Buy order is 230.00 TP=100, SL=100 and trailing stop is 50... Buy order becomes active it goes up to 230.30 and then goes back to 229.80, in this scenerio, is TrailingStop going to close order ? is there certain amount of pips that it becomes active?

4) If we have both BreakEvenStop and Trailing stop values set in EA ( basically in the input area) how are they going to interact with each other?

5) In back testing, I cannot get any number for modeling accuracy. Instead I got some grey area and bright green. I do know that the greener the more accurate results are. However, do you know why I do not get modelling number? If yes is there a way to get it? It will give more confident when it comes trusting testing results.

I also look forward to hearing any feedback from others as well.

Thay buystop entry is way off..... check your Rane[End|Start] parameters and see if there is something wrong there. If everything is fine and this happens again, let me know and I'll look into it.

Hi saaedb -

I checked the params as you suggested and they look fine. I waited till now to respond so I could see what the early orders looked like today. The orders for GBPJPY look good just as they did yesterday. It is a bit early yet for the GBPUSD which is where the problem was yesterday. I'll let you know if anything odd happens again.

Answers:

1) hmm.... strange that it just started place multiple orders at that one location, do you have the latest version of the EA that I posted? I've not had this issue, nor I have seen someone else mention this issue. Has someone else had this issue?

2) BreakEvenStop, is an integer value. Lets say you set it to 30. Now when the price moves 30 pips in your favor, the EA will set the stop loss to break even. So, in your scenario, for you to breakeven, you have to set it to 30.

3) TrailingStop, this to is an integer value (whole number). Lets say, you set this to 50. when the price fills your order at 230.00, and your stop loss is at 229.50, when the price reaches 230.50, this will move the stop loss to 230.00. It will keep it 50pips behind the current price at all times. At this point, every 1 pip up the price moves, the EA will move the STOPs 1 pip up. It can only move forward, it wont move backwards.

4) If you have the BreakEven Set at 30 and the TrailingStop at 50. Now when the price moves the 30 pips in your favor, the Breakeven will move the stop to breakeven. And from here when price move each pip above 50, the stop will move one step up.

Hope this helps.

Hi saaedb -

I would like to 'test drive' your new EA.


I'm also providing the data below as specific feedback on the performance of the methods EA you kindly wrote for us:

12/07/2007
Pair: GBYJPY
Broker spread: 7

High/Low Spread for today:
High = 226.08
Low = 225.19

Orders generated by the EA:
Buy Stop Entry price = 226.15 S/L = 225.65 T/P = 227.15
Sell Stop Entry price = 225.19 S/L = 225.69 T/P = 224.19

Installation of the EA was straight forward and 'normal'; the limited amount of backtesting I've done with the EA has been flawless in its execution - I'm still studying the results in detail.

Thanks again!

Saaedb,
Thanks... Yes, I do have your latest EA ( actually it is not the one that you included MinRange. I did not use it yet just to see how existing one will perform). And, I did see anyone else reporting that either.

Additionally, do you have any feedback for my fifth question in previous post?

I am using North Finance mini demo account. The EA settings are RangeStart=20, RangeEnd=3, IsAccountMini=true, and default settings for others.

Thanks for your help.
