Hi All,

Ive made a saperate thread to discuss EAs on SRDC models. All EA must be posted with their source code for everyone to see and learn from.

All programmers welcome.

Disclamer: Im not responsible for any losses incured when the EA is not performing, but rather the dog next door. Wooofff....

Just a note to say this was a great idea to keep the original threads for their intended pupose.

I forward test on 5 Jan and 8Jan, It seems working great.

But there was a double order with AUD on 5th and GPB on 8th, which make a BIG LOSS.

I wonder why a new order was made while the first order has placed and finished.

I use IBFX. and the settings as below
extern int StartTime = 0;
extern int BORDER = 1;
extern int EOD = 23;
extern int StopLoss = 35;
extern bool SL_variable = false;
extern int Risk_to_Reward_ratio = 3;
extern int Min_SL = 10;
extern int MOVE_SL_AT = 35;
extern int MOVE_SL_TO = 5;
extern int TrailingStop = 0;
extern int TakeProfit = 120;
extern double Lots = 20;
extern int Slippage = 3;

Thanks for helping me.

Maybe the magic number is the same, therefore the EA is interfering with one another.

Would it be possible to modify the EA to set a move to break even and lock X pips?
So for example it moves 10 pips and you set your move to break even at 5 and it would add the lock 5 pips. You would be 10 pips from open but would have secured your 5 pips. All the others is just a bonus with a trail.
Another idea is to have a take out lots. You place a stop with 2 lots. It takes one out a 5 pips and you could either let the other run or set a second take profit level on it.


Thanks for the consideration!

I posted this in the SRDC 1 thread by mistake. I forgot about this one
Man, im gonna get fined my weeks pips for that.......

This is exactly what I was thinking. I've already had a great two weeks trading SRDC I and scalping 10 pips per trade. However, I could have gotten many more pips on just about every trade with an EA like this. This is my dream EA.

The price moves very fast and it slipped, hence the word slippage. When your EA settings on slippage is low, the EA will not get activated as the order price was missed.

May the force be with you.

The best I have managed is 62% modeling quality, even using tick by tick data.

The srdc v 1.1 comes in greyed out in my ea folder, so I am not sure what that is about, I can apply it to my chart window and get the smiley face.

Is there any documentation or posts on how to operate the software for backtesting generally, and the srdc v1.1 ea specifically. I have read the mt4 help files which deal with the strategy tester, but I am not getting the results from my expert settings changes that I expect.

an example being the dates for the back test, I can change the range but the strategy tester will only test for a set range, from late oct to present.

Do I need to save each parameter profile as a separate file, then close and restart mt4?

with both the ea's on my back testing a 10pip trailing sl gave me the best results. is this correct?

also srdc v 2 worked better than the advanced version. i must be doing something wrong.

Hi all - I'm getting into MetaTrader and playing with the optimizer at the moment, testing fixed stop/loss aginst trailing stop/loss and optimum profit target.
Skyline, I'll PM you on that if you don't mind, some interesting results so far but I need clarification on 1 of your variables.

Can anyone advise how I can get the charts to show weekend bars? I guess there's a setting somewhere but I can't find it and would love to monitor (or trade) it tomorrow!

Cheers
Full-time trader and loving it!

Hi There,

The weekend bars appear without any other settings on IBFX Demo accounts. I think it's a Metatrader thing.
