DislikedOnly changes I made to the EA are to trade 24 hours and set the entry signal buffer to zero. Everything else left as is. Trading 5 pairs. Interesting that all of the 5 trades made before 7:00 GMT (which is midnight PST), were stopped out at losses. The ones made after that. The ones made and closed after 7:00 GMT are plus 47 pips. There were two losers on EUR/JPY totalling 68 pips included. Also, the 20 pip trailing stop worked perfectly. Have 3 open trades at +29 pips. Will keep the testing going. Seems Wahnone was correct to not do any trades until 7:00 GMT, as all the trades the EA made before then were losers. EA also seems to be working fine. Have to figure out why is only works on my Interbank demo. Maybe because I don't have all of the correct indicators in the other demo accounts with Alpari and WHC?Ignored
DislikedGuys,
for those of you who aren't making trades with my EA, can you take a look at the "journal" tab or "expert" tab below to see if there's any error messages? post them here so I can debug or probably come up with an answer.
One more thing. can I just confirm if you've read the pdf manual I posted with the first EA? you need to read this in order to know how to make use of the settings. if you've read it, you should see this...
LotsDecimalAllowed = 2
If your broker only lets you get as low as mini lots and not to micro, set this to 1.
if your client isn't making trades with my EA, my best guess is you've not changed this setting to 1.
e.g. of mini lot is 0.1
e.g. of micro lot is 0.01
any lot size that needs the 2nd decimal place requires the broker to have micro lot support.
Let's say your broker can only go as low as mini and not micro. and the EA's MoneyManagement algorithm calculated a lot size of 0.32. and the program sends a trade using this lot size. it will be rejected by the broker's server cos of the 0.02 which it doesn't allow.
if you've set the setting to 1, the EA will round up the lot size to 1 decimal point. 0.3, and submit this instead which should go through.
I will write a more in depth manual for the coming versions but there's no point in me writing it if they aren't read and followed...
regards,
Zen
p.s., I think Alpari don't accept micro lots, so the LotsDecimalAllowed setting should be set to 1. InterbankFX allows micro lots so the default setting is ok for IBFX customers.Ignored
haha..
