Have 11 trades going from the last 4 hour candle (5:00 AM Pacific standard time), and down well over 1300 pips. I have the EA called CloseTrades After Too Much Account loss attached and working, and set at minus -750.0. I thought this meant pips, but it must mean dollars, as it did not trade me out. Only using .2 lots on my demo, and down $275.00. Can someone confirm that this EA is in dollars, and not in pips? Thanks.
More testing to do on this system as far as stops and take profit.

Hi Ronald Raygun,

I´ve been testing your ea with the same settings you´re
using and i´m getting similar results in Activtrades, but sometimes the
ea stop trading and only starts again when i reload the metatrader terminal.

For example today. the ea opened the trades at 04:00, but stopped after that. No trades at 08:00, no trades at 12:00 and no trades at 16:00.
Also i´m getting some errors in tab journal. I attached an image to help
you understand whats happening.

P.s. In your first version the ea displayed on the top left corner the suggested direction to trade.( trade long, trade short or none), but since i
installed the new version it´s always "None".

I would appreciate you try to solve this smalll problems

Thanks

Hi Ron and all,
I down loaded the EA and attached on alpari uk mt4 platform. It is almost 24 hours now and no trade has been triggered. What could be wrong. Please help
Did you change the lot size?

Hi RR!

I am trying to run your EA but so far it didn’t place any trades. I’ve attached the EA to each pair and all of them have different magic number. Could you please give us full set up for this EA. Also what pair are you trading? Thanks a lot.

paradoxical,

The EA is monitoring the floating loss in $ and once the loss reaches the amount you set it shud close all the trades.

This is my understanding.

He is probably using a ea for closing the trade only, not Ronalds ea as it does not like IBfx due to compatibility issues with the CCFp indicator it calls on.

Hopefully that EA will be modified at some point to work with IBfx.
Hi Tommyd,

The error is not in the EA. It's the combination of the EA and CCFp.

The indicator CCFp expects you having this indicator on the chart. At the bottom of the file CCFp.mq4 you will find the following function:

void sl(string sym, int y, color col)
{
int window = WindowFind(Indicator_Name);
string ID = Indicator_Name+DoubleToStr(Objs,0);
int tmp = 10 + y;
Objs++;
if(ObjectCreate(ID, OBJ_LABEL, window, 0, 0))
{
//ObjectSet(ID, OBJPROP_CORNER, 1);
ObjectSet(ID, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, y + 35);
ObjectSet(ID, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 0);
ObjectSetText(ID, sym, 18, "Arial Black", col);
}
}

If you are only running the EA on the chart, and not the indicator you will get these messages.
By placing the indicator on the chart you can avoid these messages or change the code in CCFp.

I respectfully suggest that the levels of volatility over the past few weeks,absolutely historic VIX readings, record one day losses/gains, global involvement, etc., have skewed the results of each and every method being tested/monitored, or whatever. I don't think it is a good idea to draw any conclusions about a method's viability based on it's performance during this period. The data is contaminated.

I don't think so.

I'm running with no indicators on my charts. It's working perfectly. I really do think its a compatibility issue with brokers that add suffixes to their symbols like 'm' or '..' etc.

Here are the completly corrected scripts. Thanks for testing

Turns out there was an "off by 1" error in one of the 'for' loops, causing, in this case, NZD to be skipped.

Everything works as it should now.

Sorry, found another problem, When you put all 8 currencies as strong it places two trades of every currency 1 Buy and 1 Sell of every currency. ?? Also, there was supposed to be a CADCHF Sell placed but didn't No error in the Experts Tab

I only run many ibfx with and without suffixes. The problem was solved as mentioned above, but as you state it could have to do with something else. Anyhow it works for me now.... Thanks.

Paradoxical that ea is based on the maximum dollars you are willing to lose. Not pips. So you're correct.

Those errors don't mean anything to me. I think it's the indicator, not the EA>

As for the "TradeTrigger" What were your trading times? Because I see that you are outside trading times.

Both currencies are also listed as strong which means no trade.

What would you suggest to solve the indicator problems?

I have around 22 opened charts with the ea attached to which one
and with different magic numbers and all display "Trade trigger:None".

I attached a picture where you can see USD currency is weak and CAD is strong, but the trade trigger displays none.

Any clue with the stop opening trades issue? It mmight be related with the indicator errors?

Appreciate your help

Thanks

Now that we have the new indi with offsets, I've been playing with Pipo's idea of looking at strength in lower TF's to better time the entry.

There's almost too much info to look at this quickly and make a decision.

Pipo, are you still looking at this idea?
