So, if the Labtrend is just an allert and NOT a trigger...I wonder, what else makes you decide on an entry?...keep us posted with the tweaking...
(just like you, I still preffer manual...but I take the supernova signal only when the price crosses the SMA50Higher for buy and SMA50Lower for a sell)

Thanks :-)
Hiho Brandy-Bird!

I have tried to use two different circles for Buy and Sell on the MegaNova... well, after looking at it, I just also fixed some arrows to make it clearer. You would simply enter as the next candle opens outside the channel.
Beware of channels that look like fuzzy anacondas! The channel you see in the following snapshot is ideal.

Best Wishes!

Hi Orion!
I would like to test some of your sattings but can't PM yet. How can I receive the set file from you?
Thanks.
Hi Kramlon....

Our tester team is already appointed, but there is a ZIP file with setting on one of Orion's latest posts. If you then look into the test results (klick on his footer) you can select an unused setting file from the zipped stuff and go from there. Results you can post here by using a snapshot feature and the manage attachment button of the forum!

Thanks for your offer! Please let us know what you find!!
Best Wishes!

Hi Matt,

Sorry I missed this post. My testbed handles the trade context busy, but I need to add this method to next Beta. Most ea's try to get around this by looping on the command, but the real solution is wait until the next tick at make another attempt.

This is another great reason to port to another platform or find an ECN broker we really like.

Hallo Rick!

I have run into a small problem here and I am ashamed to say that it is on beta11. But then I did not want to take it off in the middle of nowhere, as it is a live account.
The trades all work out well and I am up at USD 1.617.22 from USD 1.500,00 since last week tuesday. All fine, but in the Journal I found a multitude of trades that were not executed, like a long on the AUDJPY 3 hours ago and a short on the USDJPY only to name a few.
The text is "Trade context busy" - my favourite on IBFX right now. It is as regularly as the "Mind the Gap" in the London tube (underground)! But from what I gathered the EA should try again and again until IBFX gives up, right? I was wondering, why there were so little trades opened, when the WHC demo was covering most of the pairs on the same TF even. So I looked into the WHC demo and found the same "Trade context busy" on only two occassions, while at IBFX there have been 5-6 only today.
Maybe this is no longer an issue with beta 12, but it surely is robbing us of a few chances if the simple dealing desk trick of showing a busy sign can ward us of!
Also kein Gemecker aus dem fernen Hamburg, sondern die Bitte um einen kleinen Systemcheck!

Gute Nacht!
Matt

Gnat, You are such a cool guy! I'm always impressed with you :-)

yap...that's exactly what I interpreted by his charts as well...I don't see too much logic to it yet...basically a closed above/under MA9?...(TP 5-10?)...maybe...anyhow...I always "fish" for "extras" on the manual side :-)

God Bless!

Hey Rick!

Sounds like a plan Today I only had one trade that was not executed, but there were not too many signals on 4H and Daily.
And you are right - apart from the nice charting on MT4 we really run into the dirches with the providers at this point. ECN would be great and if you think/know it is portable, then we can try that after we finished the mq4 EA

My test account is up now... has been a bit already, but now it is also reporting!

Thanks Brandy-Bird!

I will interview him on it later, but I guess the TP for EURJPY was 25 pips on the 15M. Stop moved to BE+1 after 15 or so.

I will try to provide you with more rules as I get them aboard!!

Hi Rick

I had to reboot my PC this morning. On a demo account I started a couple of weeks ago running beta10, all my charts displayed 'Wait loading' or whatever the message is after restart, but they didn't load. Odd. So, I have an account running with no EA attached to any charts and open trades.

I've decided, just for the heck of it, to attach beta12 and set up the same charts and set the magic numbers, likely different from those active trades. Just to see if the EA does anything.

I wouldn't do this on a live account, but it would be good to know what could be done if this situation every arose for real.

1. Should we just close all open trades and set up again?
2. Anyway to identify the magic numbers associated with each open trade if the EA is not displayed?
3. General guidance on what might be best to do, if not as in 1?
4. In my situation - bummer, because I wanted this demo account to run long term - what is the best action - as in 1?

Thanks.

Hi FxTradera,

The wait loading is often because the charts were on a mini account and the new account is a regular or vice versa.

One of my goals for this EA is that you should feel your account and trades are safe when:

1. The Pc Crashes
2. The paltform crashes
3. You restart the platform
4. You toggle the big Experts button on and off

Hopefully, this is all working. If not please let me know. Probably the last items I will add to the EA will be autohedge at week's end and close all positions at week's end. The autohedge is controversial to say the least, but for traders who get nervous about giant swings when our brokers are not open, it provides some piece of mind.

Hi Matt,

Sorry about missing a trade. That is annoying as the H4 and D1 don't trade as frequently. I'm really happy your account is up.

Porting is easy. And fun I get to use a real programming language - much more efficient code.

Hallo Rick & FXT!

This hedge thing is a big controversy here on FF and people like Merlin really loose there upbringing when it comes to condemn "the hedge".
A simple example why I still see a good thing in this: Last weekend, as the market was about to close, I was not feeling well about my longs on Guppy ( well, my gutt should probably do all my trading ) and so I planted some pending orders 50 pips below the market and fully hedged the postion in one block in the last minute.
The pending order was just there to see whether that still worked as the newest dealing desk gadget might have slowed execution down.
Then on Sunday this amazing gap opened and my pending orders at 206ish were executed. Also the normal hedge was in place and I could get rid of the whole setup with a surplus.
The normal hedge would have given me the chance to work myself out of the 200 pip gap later on. (As I was still bullish on Guppy then, I a ctually had to go through that exercise on a smaller scale later on anyway! )

Looking forward to the features!

Hallo Rick!

Another thing I noticed on the journal tab - especially with the WHC demo:

2008.03.04 20:31:48 Old tick EURGBP240 0.76650/0.76690 - :

What does that mean? I get it every now and then on different currencies.
Any idea?

I've been seeing that recently, as well. It looks like a data feed corruption. Not very confidence inspiring.

Hi Testers,

Sigh. Got signals today on the pre-test and it turns out I had set the D1 to H1 on the GBPJPY while examining the trends. I will let the account remain as we are in pre-test, but I apologize for being careless and skewing the results.

Several set files are not being reported properly and the links have been removed from the web page. Not configuring MT4 to report the results from the assigned set files defeats the purpose of the web page entirely.

I have asked that these platforms be corrected...more than once. Next step will be to reassign set files to those willing to participate.

I've sent you a PM to clarify the set up for my accounts. The EA and preset files were set up and assigned correctly, as requested. Perhaps an invalid comment for the name of the account? Let me know so we can get back on track.

Guess the week sort of started mixed up, so maybe we just get sorted out and then look at the results at the end of next week. All is cool.

I've tried repeatedly to correct my sntest 4. My publisher says it is correct. The account # is the right one, FTP login is correct, enable and passive both checked---what else is there? Any words of wisdom?

It may be correct but please open a new account with the name 'sntest4' so we can be sure. The account name shown for sntest4 shows up in at least two places.

Hi Bill ...

sntest7 is FXT and Wolfster has sntest3&4. Seems both of them are assigned to two seperate accounts and settings here, so it seems natural to have sntest7 & 4 twice. Maybe we could call them 4&4a and 7&7a?

Or am I on the wrong horse? I only slept 4 1/2 hours! :

Ciao!
Matt

Edit: Sorry ... maybe sntest3 & sntest4 for Wolfy and sntest6&7 for FXT may do the trick.
