Hi All,

Has anyone seen any major issues with Beta5? I want to make sure I can fix as many bugs as possible before next week.
Mine isn't setting sl or tp. MM is turned off.

You can add me to the list of testers.

Cheers

First of all, thanks to all that have contributed to this thread and perfecting of the EA. I won't mention any names because I'd probably leave someone out.

This is my first post since subscribing to this system in FF. I've been following this thread since the end of September. I've demo traded with several versions of the EA over the last 4 months with spotty success. Finally finished reading all the way through of the posts this evening.

I'd be willing to assist in the testing of the latest version of the EA, if you still need someone to help. Let me know.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for volunteering. SL and TP are manually entered. If you specify values, they will be used. Otherwise, all actions are strictly based on the indicators.

Thanks! We are still finalizing the details, but I'm sure no help will be turned down.

I can't see the thumbnail for some reason, but why don't you make the entry criteria a few indicators as possible to reduce the filtering? Also, check the journal and expert tabs for errors.

Cheers Rick. I have values in the ea's sl (100) and tp (varies) from Codec's earlier post. The ea is not sending these values with the order and so not setting sl or tp.

Hey Rick I'm still having problems with the Laguerre exit. The attached chart had three opportunities to exit, still hasn't, big loss on that one... (It does look like the Laguerre cross exit is working.)

Just to confirm the logic- if "exit on Laguerre" is true, (on a short) the trade should close when the Laguerre drops below 15 and then crosses above it. If "exit on Laguerre cross" is true, the the trade will close whenever the two lines in the Laguerre indi cross. Correct??

Hi Steve,

In the current version the sp and tp are maintained internally by the EA. In older versions, they were set in the order itself. My guess is that the original programmer did this because many traders like to hide their stops from brokers (for good reason ), but this should probably be up to the user, so I will re-activate the code to add SL and TP to the order. I will make this optional so that the user may decide which is preferable. Personally, I like to place a catastrophic SL in the order that will protect my account if there is a power failure or loss of internet connection. Otherwise, I let the indicators decide. So I will add that functionality back in. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Cheers Rick - that is exactly why I want to be able to set a sl.

Hi Wolfe,

I'm really glad you are testing this. I put that code just as the market was closing, and ran a few tests yesterday on the LaGuerre stuff I fixed for you.

I don't see in the comments that LaGuerre cross is selected. Are you sure it is set to true?

Hi Wolfe,

It looks like you are still on beta 4. I put those fixes for you in beta 5

Rick one thing I have notice with my Meta Demo is I get a lot of "trade context busy" where in my IBFX I don't seem to have that delay a trade.

I have seen it delay 2-3 bars on a 15m chart in meta demo

All on demo: 15 min tf on gu, gj, ej. Settings as default, 0.1 standard lot entries.

Carol ran 1.4 last week using Codec's settings of sl 100, tp 20, 30, 50 respectively on the 3 pairings and made shed-loads. I did the same on Friday and made over 10% on the account.

For now, I just want to see if 1.7 will emulate the success of 1.4 using these settings - the reason I was trying to set a tp. I know the ea has moved on, but these settings appear to be working.

They failed spectacularly yesterday because gu whipsawed every trade to ribbons and took out about 40% of the account. They are slowly making up ground today.

Hallo Rick!

This is really a big group of testers that came together. Looks like we will spare a lot of time if all goes well.
Thanks for steering the "functions" test and all the work that you did so far! A really big move forward!

Greetings!
