In a few post above this one you stated that you also use some safe pairs?
What do you mean with that?
By safe pairs I mean the ones that haven't broken the 800 threshold in the last 7 years. See bob's hisory data a few posts back

I started with 3000 and am trading .10 lots. interesting huh.
I did not realize you were running this live. I am sorry if this has been asked before as it is hard to keep up anymore, but how many levels deep and what pairs are you running?

thanks

nannigbob, so far, your system and EA is performing much better than I could have expected. My biggest concern would be a major trend on more than a few pairs, but I think with the proper mix of pairs, even that could be minimized. So far, I've done 1 and a half percent for 2 days going only .01 on 7 pairs on a $3,000.00 account, and 10% on a $4,000.00 going .05 on six pairs, with a 10% drawdown at one point.

Are there any instructions available for the cut loss and equity settings portion of the EA? I know there are other EAs that would accomplish this, but it these are built into your EA, I'd rather use them. I want a catastrophe global stop on my account of about 25%.

Using .05, my demo account has made almost exactly 20% since Sunday evening when it opened trades at market open. The pairs I'm using are:
EUR/USD, AUD/USD, CHF/JPY, USD/JPY, EUR/CHF, AUD/NZD.
There was a drawdown of about 10%. I have let it run continuously, and will let it run without closing any trades for the entire week. Thgis will save on the spread going in and out.

Good im glad to see this. i started to do the same thing but didn't feel like setting up another account. I wanted to see how it worked out if you close your positions after a profit is gained. I have no set profit target, i just want to be positive on the day before i close.

One reason i am taking it out is because i am wondering if the London session might get to violent sometimes for this to work out. More trends seem to develop during this market. It makes sense to me that this ea would workout better during ranging markets and london doesn't "usually" provide this.

so keep it going and ill keep closing mine. ( hopefully ill be in profit before london open) we will compare at the end of the week. You are trading 1 more pair than me and im trading .1 lots on my "safer" pairs. but i think this will still give us a good idea of what is better. I know 1 week won't show us much so we need to keep this up for a little while.

with a little help from everyone on this, I really believe we can come up with a winner

Thanks everyone for yalls help. Lets keep testing this thing and we'll get it!!!

Are there any instructions available for the cut loss and equity settings portion of the EA? I know there are other EAs that would accomplish...
Inside the code of the EA is this:

extern string so="--CUTLOSS SETTING--";
extern bool SecureProfitProtection=False;
extern string SP="If profit made is bigger than SecureProfit we close the orders";
extern int SecureProfit=20; // If profit made is bigger than SecureProfit we close the orders
extern string OTP="Number of orders to enable the account protection";
extern int OrderstoProtect=3; // Number of orders to enable the account protection
extern string ASP="if one will check profit from all symbols, if cero only this symbol";
extern bool AllSymbolsProtect=False; // if one will check profit from all symbols, if cero only this symbol
extern string EP="if true, then the expert will protect the account equity to the percent specified";
extern bool EquityProtection=False; // if true, then the expert will protect the account equity to the percent specified
extern string AEP="percent of the account to protect on a set of trades";
extern int AccountEquityPercentProtection=90; // percent of the account to protect on a set of trades
extern string AMP="if true, then the expert will use money protection to the USD specified";
extern bool AccountMoneyProtection=False;
extern double AccountMoneyProtectionValue=3000.00;
string s1="--seting berapa jam dia nak open order--";

The first way to protect your account is to change the account equity protection from false to True and then specify the amount to protect. You change that number to 75 and it will shut down all trades after a 25% drawdown.

Blue

You dont want your account to go lower than the amount in blue so you turn the false to true and then set the amount you want all orders to be closed. If you have 4000 in the account you then set it for 3000.

To find these just open the program, hit control f and you will have the word search system on . Type in account protection and you will then go to that section. I have not tested this part of the program very much so try it out on demo first before going live.

Good im glad to see this....
The USA session is much more volatile than the Euro session. Where do you get the evidence that the Euro is more volatile?????????????

A trend bigger than 800 points in one day???? Do you realize how rare of an event that is????? Go study the 7 year fact sheet again. Then you have to compute the odds of a 800 pip move without a retracement an even rarer event. Even if a currency moves a 1000 points, there is almost always a retracement or two in the run. I have only seen it happen one time and that was the Eur/Aud last month. The NZD/USD has had two spikes of over 1500 but it is probable they move too fast even for an EA to pick up.

Please read post 267 pg 18 to see the odds of such an event.

No that is the alternative way. I do all my changes in the code however and never used the other way. Thats all. It should work doing it the way you are doing but I play with the code.

whitegoodman, yes, you can just right click and make changes that way. However, they will only work on that 1 instance of the EA on the currency pair you just changed the settings on. The reason why bob, myself and others make changes in the code is that it makes that setting the new 'default' in the EA. So, all you have to do is compile, close MT4 and re-open and all currencies have the new setting (saves a few minutes of time).

second day's results 4 accounts all positive for both days

image 1 original ea with original profile $4000 starting balance

image 2 original ea with original profile $3000 starting balance

image 3 ea .02 "safe" pairs at .1 lots

image 4 ea .02 20 pairs at .01 lots

So far the 20 pair ea is dominating. up 19.24% in only 2 days with max DD of only 662.46 or 7.89% looks good huh. but again only 2 days. hope it keeps this up!!! would be nice to be rich some day

Ok, I'll check that out.

Hi Guys,

Firstly, thanks for a really great EA!!

Secondly, I'm having a small problem that I'm hoping somebody can help me with. Everything seems to have loaded and is working fine except for one thing. The EA is only opening BUY trades, there doesn't seem to be any corresponding SELL entries. Anybody having the same prob?

Thanks

BUY EA and SELL EA have to be loaded on two separate charts for each currency and if you have done this right, compare the EA properties for any errors in lot size etc. (0.01 for IBFX, otherwise 0.1 on other demo)
