Franco, Buddy,
Do you think it will be possible to revise your script and eliminate the daily and hourly and just the weekly out put and we can run the min of 6 months??? The excell is so great and i am adapting it as my IA because it has colored in it and easy to see. Also I am thinking the next EA will be based on this. Meaning picking the data from this spreadsheet for analysis.

Alright, I was bored today and decided to make a few video tutorials on how to install and setup the IA and Demo trading accounts for the system.

These videos are very basic so if you know how to do this already, there really is no need to watch them

Here you can find the tutorial on installing 2 copies of MT4 platform.

You sort it only once and keepit open on the side. If closing and opening it thenyou have to sort it again. However i find that characterisctic useful. Wheni reopen it it give me the idea which currency pair moves because if it is out of sort. Changing the disadvantage to advantage.

you have to enable you dde server --- tools---option --server - enable DDE server. I fyou are using IBFx demo, the seems to be not working. I dont know if there is port setting to be set. But the Fxpro is not a problem. Then rerun the script.

I do have DDE... it must be because of IBFX then... even though DDE works with other excel's on IBFX, just not this one. I guess I have to go download another platform if I wish to use it. oh well.

It is because your Spread sheet needs to be appended with an m after the currenct name in each of the cells callin a DDE. Easier way is just to open a standard demo account with IBFX then it is all the same. it is because you are using a mini account.
Gotcha smj, thanks much. Even in standard the script still says "local history files are being updated from the server." until it times out. So that isn't the problem.

You can check this by going to the Server tab and after checking the Enable DDE server there is a test button at the right clik that.. if it give you an error then you the DDE server is not responding. Ohh unclik the Data Center auto configuration before clikingthe test.

It is currently down, I've had this problem with IBFX platform before and DDE. I'm not surpised their servers were being rebooted and the platforms were frozen for some 30 minutes this afternoon so they are probarly still dealing with all that.

Hey Luke, great videos, but I did notice one thing you might want to add.
I noticed that on the 'CloseAll at profit' EA the smiley face was sad, most likely you forgot to enable Live trading when you attached the EA but you can enable Live trading in the Platform options also so when you attached any EA it forces Live trading on automatically.

Couple of Questions

1.does the ia account need to be with the same broker as the trading account.

2. can the indicator account be set up and trades started anytime? or does the trade hedge script have to initiate the trades?

thanks

Yes, I noticed this after I was finished making them... oh well, I hope it still gets the point across to the new people.

My indicator account has been open for only 1 day, so may have not perfectly settled yet.

Question, is the attached screenshot helpful in deciding direction at all?

Maybe it's still settling, but it seems hard to tell that the sells(RED) and buys(GREEN) are giving any indication of direction yet. Or maybe it's todays slow market.

Obviously you have not fully grasp the method even if you have completely read the thread. Question 1 is already responded with a yes as much a possible.
2. Even the first post mentioned how the trade be done. Please reread it once more again for the second time.

So far the best duplicate indication that i notice is the spreadsheets that i attached a few post ago. That excell had a history created up to 5 weeks ago. In there you can set the starting point as Aug 24 where all the currencies are in posidtion ideallly. The weeks after that the currency started scattering around but the direction of course are the BUYs to go up. In short the bias after that week till now is LONG. there may some retracement along the way, but the overall will be LONG until the reverse placement of 8/24 will be reached. In your case since you start putting the trade in your IA yesterday i bet you could more or less see that the BUYs have an upward motiong and the SELLs have a downward motion. The group have been trading long since last Sunday and last night and are making good profit. Myself have already accumulated more than 2000 pips already. for 2 days of trading. This morning there was a retracement and some have take advantage of it after they detected it, ShadowPrince was one of them i think. If you are not that confident yet avoid trading for now and wait till the London open there mgiht be some clearer sign of upmovement by the BUYS which i am ecxpectingtoo. Whew.. Long letter ....sorry

Open the hedge and leave it open from day one. This will be like your bible in trading this method.
