Also if I switch, there is still a problem. When the EA goes long or short the 14 pairs, it won't recognize the switching. It has to be coded, I think!

i fixed a few things thats worth a update

the signal will let you know its counter trend now
which is important

and i made the option available to change the sl from -10
its called starting_target

it looks sound enough for now

I also think that the option "can_exit" should be set to false. Otherwise, the EA gets too many false signals forcing the close of a trade just opened. This costs a lot of pips because of the spread. Can you confirm that?

  • Sep 30, 2008 9:11pm Sep 30, 2008 9:11pm
no, can exit just enables the equity trail
so realy its useless
il remove it in next version, but if u set it false, equity trail wont work, nor exit on reverse

I am testing the EA and it behaves great. Beyond the code I asked you earlier, it has a problem, however. Earlier it has opened a basket of 14 shorts and closed them immediately because the market went back to ranginf. How to avoid to close trades just opened?

you must be using exit on reverse?

im using the ea defaults, i set pips to 75
i open the trades, the only way the ea will close is as if it went in profit and locked some in, or i lose 10%

Actually, I am using 2ProtectAccount of 101Trader. I think it might due to this. Could you please code my request earlier?

Hi TC,

I'm using default settings, except can trade=true. Entries don't seem to be well timed. It gave short signal and sold all X20 full lots at 245GMT, despite code lots being 0.01. Does this not mean trade microlots? The maximum risk is 0.5; how many lots is that equal to? Does the 1.0 trail setting mean 1% of total gain being lost?

Thanks for your fine efforts,

George

I beleive it's all being fixed now. Please replace your existing one with attached one. Don't forget to recompile. Also, it seems like current time periods are not very suitable. Maybe we come up with 1 h, 2h, 3h, 8h, something like that...

the default just looks at h4 candle, its not well timed
im still confused on the strategy as far as that goes
what i think is best, is to set the time to now
then see which way it goes
but i wouldnt take the trade now, maybe in a few hrs or london open

to disable money management set risk to 0

heres a new version with new defaults, this will be the same as if you just opened a ai

i set pips to 350
that means on average the buys n sells would be 7eral hundred pips apart before we get a signal

i think this is closer to his method, though im probably wrong
i also fixed the pips to not show all them digits

the lots are calculated based on account balance, 0.5 is 0.5% of your balance

Does the 1.0 trail setting mean 1% of total gain being lost?yes it does

setting risk to 0, the ea will use lots
or the minimum lots your broker allows
