As soon as my account shows my deposits I will start the EAs.
Are you going to trade all 12 pairs that you've stated before, or have you deleted/added from that list?

14 pairs I dropped the following from trading live:

I am not trading the following:
All NZD pairs. Even though IBFX undid the trades, they claim it came from one of their bank feeds. If someone is playing around falsifying a feed I dont want to deal with it. This is not the first time for NZD.

GBP/JPY simply too wild during this time. Great profit maker but the easiest to go beyond my system.

USD/CAD (sorry Canadian friends) simply is too tied to the USA market session only and doesnt have that other session to catch a retracement. The USD can crush this currency and not get that retracement necessary for getting out of trouble.

Pairs I am trading:
AUD/CAD, AUD/JPY, AUD/USD, CHF/JPY
EUR/AUD, EUR/CAD, EUR/CHF, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, EUR/USD
GBP/CHF, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY

The pairs most volatile and need to keep an eye on the most:

EUR/AUD
GBP/USD
GBP/CHF

Best of luck to you.

Can anyone convert this expert to an exe file instead of mq4 file. I have two different demo accounts at IBFX and when I try to drag the expert from the navigator to a chart, it does nothing. I have tried the other experts I have loaded and they are working with no problem. I have tried to different platforms to no avail. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried both of these experts below with no luck.

It always worked OK for me.

If you want to convert to .exe then open it in metaeditor and compile it. Or put it into the experts folder and close and restart MT4 platform. Should be ok then.

Honestly, I know absolutely nothing about programming ea's. I tried restarting the ea many times, still no luck. For some reason my my IBFX platform is not reconizing the ea. It shows up in the navigator, but will not drag onto the charts. I am at work right now, I will call IBFX when I get home. I just came to this thread from another forum and am impressed with what I am reading so far. I just wish I could get the ea to work.

In the upper right hand corner of the chart there will be one of three things.

1. a happy face
2. an uh happy face
3. an x

If you have #1 everything is correct
If you have a #2 you did not check allow live trading when you put the EA to the screen. Start over and check allow live trading box
If you have #3 you have not turned on the EA button on the top of you chart. It will be showing a red dot, click on it, if it shows a green dot the EA is on. Then check to see if you have #1 or #2 in the upper right hand corner.

I hope this helps.

This weekend I downloaded from IBFX the most updated version of MT4. It contained all their new currencies. My old demos and live platforms just had not updated properly and they were bogging down my computer. I then transefferred all my programs, indicators, scripts, templates and EAs and started trading on all the new MT4s. I cant believe how much faster and cleaner they are running. You may want to do the same occasionally with your MT4s. I then deleted all my old MT4s so I am starting fresh.

Also, make sure your EA button is turned off when you do this, so you dont accidentally start trading before the new EAs have downloaded all the information for the new charts. This can take several minutes before the new EAs are ready to trade. Check all your charts first.

OK the money is in the house and the EA is on at 930 pm EST, 930 AM China time. We are trading live.

Anyone want a glass of milk.

HAHA! I did that last week when I was trying out a new system. I thought I was on a demo account and I was on my live account, lost $30!

Here are the most updated version of my EAs that I am using live. One is the 60/45.
1. takes profit every 60 pips
2. reenters every 45 pips
3. multiplies each trade by 1.8
4. set at .03 first trade.
5. price enters buy above the MA 2 shift 1 Median on 1D chart
6. sell below the MA 2 shift 1 Median

100/40

1. takes profit every 100 pips
2. reenters every 40 pips
3. multiplies each trade by 1.5
4. set at .03 first trade.
5. price enters buy above the MA 2 shift 1 Median on 1D chart
6. sell below the MA 2 shift 1 Median

The 60/45 is more aggressive, has a little more range but reenters at more money on higher levels
the 100/40 is more conservative

Well, my day has finally come. I will have 3 -- 2000 dollar accounts with IBFX. My friend will trade one live and the other two will have my two EAs that I like. The 100/40 and a 60/45. I will start them at .03. As soon as my account shows my deposits I will start the EAs. We started this adventure last December and I am now confident I have seen just about every type of market move possible. I want to thank Azaam for posting his EA and letting me play with it. To all you traders who asked questions, tested the EAs and gave me suggestions and results, I want to thank you for your time and effort. Now it is time for the fat lady to sing. Sometime on Sept. 29 my readventure with he Forex begins. This time we hope to be on the winning side.
Great Bob... We're counting on you!

Hey Guys,
I know about MAs and such, but this is the first time I'm learning about "Median".
Can someone tell me what it is and where I can find it to set it into the chart? Sorry if it's a "duh" question...
Thanks!
Dmitry

In MT4, when you put a moving average (MA) on the chart you are given 4 choices for the MA

1. Period--that is the MA average you wish
2. Shift--that is number or time periods you want the MA line to be moved into the future. Shift 1 is moving the entire line one candlebar into the future
3. MA method--what mathematical formula do you want the MA based on
4. Apply to--What numbers does the mathematical formula use. Close means it uses only the closing price, open uses only the opening price, Median is the average of the high and low of that candle or time period. So if the high is 10 and the low is 4 the median is 7. 7 is the number used in the mathematical formulas.

Of all the methods I like Median the best and LWMA for MA method. LWMA uses the most recent information for the Math formula.

Ok, it is working now with the ex4 that was just posted. Only other question is I noticed that most people are closing all the open trades twice a day. Are you manually doing this or is there a way to automatically do that?

thanks

you use a close all script, but yes you manually close the trades. I close twice a day when the market is very volatile and once a day or more when it is not.

I take it that you are on the wrong side(as I am) of the trade for the AUD/JPY and EUR/AUD today. Are you looking for a way out yet? Will you shut down before the U.S. markets open? I'm trading the 100/40 1D .02 My account made about $40.00 overnight but is currently floating around -$35.00. I think if I can get back to even before 9 EST I"ll shut down and start clean again. Have a good day.
