is there anything special I need to do.?

there is a min of 0.2 mini lots i set that, and put on charts, but no trades as yet.. on the IBFX it entered one or two as I applied it.

youl need 10-20k betting o.2
dis mm if lots under= 0.2
min lots= 0.2

risk may need to be changed
possibly mm

set risk to 0 to turn of money management n bet the lots u put in

TC,
EA just closed everyting!! meaning, it closed whole range of GBPJPY shorts it had opened over the last 24h (profitable!), but it also closed several other positions I had opened manually, not GJ, and that were on minus. Is there a setting/a way to prevent this? Meaning to prevent messing with manual trades?

I am still running v3 since yesterday, what's the difference in v4, the latest you run I understand.

Then this is a problem!

Cause you totally loose control over the board. Can't it be adjusted to deal only with its own trades?

It did have profit on its opened trades, but not on the overall opened positions; I had positions opened since before starting to run the EA; I guess it couldn't figure that out...;

indeed..my experience has been 1/2% per day thus far...I just wanted you folks to know....all that I have read here is the way it is...the dd is so little so far it is not worth mentioning..

I keep downloading upgrades but I do not know why...the latest one from the website works...but I think TC is looking forward to a drawdown time and is preparing for that.

i was running the ea on a 50k demo acct and so far balance is up 2.5%. its on default everything? how is MM adjusted?

This EA is fantastic. Will the EA on the site expire. I am thinking opening up a micro acct with 500 and see how well it would do live.

TC, what is the mini acct size can this EA handle trading the GBP/JPY?

thanks for everything,
Jon

Ok, I have a special broker that is using a Currinex feed, and ordering, this is in test mode, I would like to use this EA as it does give some advantages (smaller spreads), but , it seems that on a currinex system you need to send 0 and 0 for TP and SL then comeback and Modify the order with the SL and TP.

So something like this is what I need.

Extern CurrinexMode = True;


if (CurrinexMode)
{
if(Entry)
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, Ask, Slippage, 0 , 0, "", MagicNumber, 0, Blue);
OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
OrderModify(OrderTicket(), 0, OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point, OrderOpenPrice()+TakeProfit*Point, 0, White);
}

as an example, is there any way i can setup something like this? or can it be done?

You are wasting your time. The basic premise is just a tease. This concept is cute but is a loser. You obviously do not understand the pipmaker by calling it a grid. It is a coimbination of a grid, martingale and several other trend following strategys which are superior to this EA. I know the developer of the pipmaker and he is very good at his work and it is brilliant idea which I commend him for but alas it is not profitable. Your ea is the grid program. It is nothing more then a modified grid which opens a lot of trades rather then pending orders which a typical grid does. The only difference is you open a larger trade to try to get out of the losing trend. This will go along nice until you get a margin call eventually. It is a guarantee.

This is nothing new. I sell nothing here also. I have seen many of these "super ea's" which have the same or very similar set up. Do not believe me that is your choice. Disrupt the thread? Hardly. Just pointing out what I know is fact.

ah steve has 2 posts so far

This is the first EA in awhile that has my interest, great job TC. Been testing last 2 versions with profit but only opens sell trades on the 5 pairs I have it attached to. Have used default settings only. Demo 3000 account increases around 200 pips daily with a floating dd under 100 usually. On the screen it tells me buy lots 0.00, sell lots 0.06 which I'm sure is not correct. Been using 5 pairs just to see how it trades, which one is most profitable, and which TF to attach EA to. Find that TF for eur/usd & usd/chf is 30m, for gbp/usd & gbp/jpy is 1m and for usd/jpy it's 1h. TF's have been taken from backtesting and holding up under demo forward testing. Again I say superb job TC, don't let negative feeback get u down because your EA is the best I've tested in awhile.

If u can figure out the sell only issue I have I would appreciate it. I'm getting great results from just sell trades which of course will burn my account when the market goes for a ride on the buy train.

I believe this issue has been acknowledged when TC referred to ranging market and trying to limit the number of trades during such periods;

Steve50, please read the whole tread, try to assimilate, do some testing if you want to bring your contribution to this thread, and come with some suggestions, rather than dismissing the whole effort and making general assumptions based on your preconceptions; For now thank you for your intervention, we got your point.

TC, please address the trade closing issue.
