Pipruler,
It's strange that your first 8 pairs opened all at the same time.
By the way, what is your time?

Suggestion for all:
Please report also your time (EST) because many brokers are using a different time base.

I've been clicking every button in sight. My messages in the terminal window have the right time but my trades use another timezone.

And in the options my TP says 60 for the JPY pairs as well, but for the open orders the TP is 100

Afxtrader.. is right .
It is hardcoded. you cannot see in the extern variable. Look at the TP when trade is open it is 100 on those pairs that i mentioned. Never mind the 60 you see in the input that is for the rest. Let put this to rest. Post only when trade is open with 60 tp for the jpy crosspairs.

I just started testing the Ultimate EA on FXPro. It's caused an interesting problem. FXPro uses an extra digit on their quotes which confuses the EA, and sets the TP at 6 pips and the SL at 30 pips.

Is FXPro the only broker who uses the extra digit, and is there a way to overcome it?

Now we can use at least 14 pairs. The TDelight was suppose to be used for 6 curr pairs only. but what the heck, 6 pairs is boring .. right. But if you want slow trading then used the the TBest in 6 currencies.
THE CPAIRS:
EU, UCHF, UCAD, AU, NU, EURG, EURChf, - not volatile SL is 60
GU, UJ, EJ, GJ, GCHF, AJ THE 14TH IS YOUR CHOICE. - volatile pairs the SL is 100
OK here is the selection guide

Trader Best - good in slow rangin market, doesn not jump to trade quickly
Good with news.
Trader Delight - Good in trending market, jumps quickly when you open it (make sure your expert tab is red before attaching it). Good with the 6 high volatility pairs of jpy crosses and gchf.

Ultimate - Jumps to trade quickly, good in both ranging and trending, very good with the news. will trade a lot with 14 pairs about 130 trades a week. Reacts quckly to market price action.
so you have the choice to use. Good luck


Odl Demo.
$20,000
17 Pairs plus Gold and Oil.
GY, CadJ, EJ, AJ, CHFJ, NJ, NU, GU, GC, AU, EA, EC, EU, EG, UC, UJ, Gold, Oil, UCad.

I had Ultimate 1 Running since about 1400 EST.
EA opened trades as attached.
Now running Ultimate 2 since 0135 EST.

Wow, i wake up and all our winning were compeltely taken... anyways , i dit not completely go negative it left me about 30 pips but it is shortly coming back now. I remember last week up to this day we are also negative and then recover around Tuesday evening..until Friady. The good thing is that we did not completely become negative. We are still in the game up to Friday.

You can find the report at /expert/file
Its is a text file but you could convert it to excell below ar ethe column name:
Date --Time -- OrderType--OpenPrice--CurrentPrice--Pip--OrderProfit--AccountProfit.
Those are the columns you have to make on your excell. This is a tick by tick data being recorded. I dont know if this is useful but for me i used it for analysing the trade as it go. Also can serve as proof is your broker do some spurious feed.

I did not cater for he 5 digit price. I will to look at that situation. Meantime just avoid the 5 digit price broker until i make some adjustment to it.

No live account. Only on 1 hour TF. Try the metatrader tutorial found in Metatrader forum.

Hi,
to make life easy I attach an Excel file. With this it is very easy to calculate the performance in PIPS and $. With this you can also create a performance graph.
Additionally you will find a risk managment calculator.
Enjoy!

Someone asked for the Slope Direction Line indicator. Also attached.
