LOL ...
Ya, TC, we know you and we do not even ignore you on your drunken days! You are really good then, too!
We will check out and test your EA and then we see how to proceed. If someone as stupid as me qualifies, that is!

I will jump off now!
Have a good evening!
Ciao

i just told some1 this in a email n thought i should post

theres realy 3 diferent types of accounts

normal
mini
micro

from my understanding
ibfx normal, is really a mini
ibfx mini, is really a micro

thats why its so hard to use this ea with other brokers
there version of mini is equal to ibfx normal

i made a ea for ibfx normal the other day
but i didnt test it properly
i know itl work
but i dont know that itl survive

thats why these versions have disapeared

the ea on the site is for ibfx mini

especially dont go live if your using a diferent broker, no telling the results
Hi trendchaser,

Firstly, I want to thank you for your hardwork and kindness coming up with this EA.

I have been lurking daily on this thread since last week like many readers are trying to get the EA to work on the ODL demo and after many trial and error of the settings I managed to get it to open trades 3 days ago. Thank God !Starting with $5k and account balance is now $5342 but with floating loss of -$955.00.

I am very new to EA trading and especially this hedging type. So I did not post because I don't want to clog the thread. I am testing in the background of this forum. I believe many readers are also doing the same like me. You do have many followers but not all are actively posting.

Now I understand your situation and if I find the EA is working like it used to, I will gladly donate. Right now I am demoing until I fully understand your EA before I switch to live trading.

thats great news, if you run a test on m5 and it makes it, you might have found the odl settings

im sure other odl users would like to know them broker settings

i can put a doc on the first post as we find correct broker settings

I was on the same track as you and your strategy in testing but I don't see any problem trading IBFX mini with 1lot ($1 a pip) if you have the right system. The system EA I'm working on takes the worry out of a big DD or what ever if you know when to get out of a bad trade. See below: I'm testing a system I built for the past few days and with proper detection of a losing trade, cut your loss and move on. See pics trading 1 lots. Made a trade, got out with minimal loss and won the next two. Second pic is of current trade still in progress and will exit at the right time. Sorry to get off topic here, I like my beer too, having a few now Hey TC we should get together some time over a beer Keep me in the loop if you decide to go private

@Gnat - "By taking his EA out into a public forum, TC is ruining his chances of trading his own creation sucessfully!"
Do you really think that? Damn, maybe you, me and TC should open up a new private forum

This is my settings using ODL platform....

auto_broker_settings = false
Max_Lots_allowed =50.0
Min_Lots_allowed=0.1
Dis_Mm_If_Lots_Under=0.1
mm=100000

I restart the platform after changing the settings and it all set to go!

Hope the above helps.

i've nvr opened >1.0lots. that's why i'm asking you about max lots. well, nvm about that. need to make new demo acc to test for next week. this week have bag >1k with default then change to various settings. so balance is up & down.

been playing with psar settings also : , change tc set to 15min & others.

this ea will never use the max lots
so really it unimportant
but lets say ur broker will only let you trade 100 lots per trade
if ea calculates a size above that, youl get a error and no trade
by setting a max lot
if ea calculates a size above that, it will use the max

the same applies to minimum lots
if ea calculates 0.05
but your brokers min is 0.1
youd get trading error
by setting dis_mm_if_lots_under 0.1

this tells the ea to use lots if the calculation is under that

so youl need lots set to 0.1 as well as min lots
and dis_mm_if_lots_under

so theres 3 places you gotta put in the brokers min lot size to avoid errors

thanx 4 tour explanation, now i understand about the max lots. i guess we'll nvr use max lots if have maximum risk

can you explain this:

reverse_second_tc_entry = False;
reverse_second_tc_exits = False;
  • #332
  • Mar 6, 2008 8:14pm Mar 6, 2008 8:14pm
normally both psar agree to enter a trade

you can reverse the second 1 so that they disagree to enter a trade
if you only use the second psar to enter, you can reverse the ea

this works good in a ranging market, but not in a trending market

you could also cause a conflict
if you reverse 1 and not the other
and ur using psar2 to enter and exit

the result would be opening and closing trades repeatedly

thats another reason its important to fully understand these settings before trading live

you could also create a conflick with the envelopes the same way
i actual did this before

i setup ea, went to the kitchen a minute, came back and lots of trades were opening n closing lol

correct me if i'm wrong

reverse_second_tc_entry = False;

if i set it to true, ea will open price at tc(30min) although tc2(current tf) is in sell

reverse_second_tc_exits = False;

if i set it to true, ea will close price at tc(30min) although tc2(current tf) is in buy

if you set reverse_second_tc_entry = true;
when m30 is blue and m5 is red youl get entry, instead of when m5 is blue

if you set reverse_second_tc_exits = true;
a buy would close when psar turns red
but instead itl close on blue

regardless of what m30 is
a trade will exit if psar2 says so
and the way i coded this ea, itl close all trades on the account
i didnt code the ea to be using exits or multi pairs
the ea used to only close per symbol
but i changed it to use the closeall function
i guess il need fix that
i hadnt planned on using psar to exit since it hedges
