Help regarding NanningBob EA

Hey I need some help regarding market orders etc with Bob's EA as im currently demoing on an ECN feed mt4 and no positions are being opened.. allegedly this is the issue.. (works fine on inbfx mt4 etc)

"Scripts that use Instant Executions to place market orders with take profit and/or stop losses
http://messenger2.providesupport.com...ges/spacer.gifattached will not work. Instead, a market execution must be placed and then a take profit and/or
http://messenger2.providesupport.com...ges/spacer.gifstop loss added to the position"

I spoke with Ronald Raygun via pm and he told me this...

-Place a market order Using the OrderSend function and set stoploss and takeprofit of 0.

- Use the OrderModify function to set the initial TP/SL

Bob's EA can be found here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=150293


any help please, eventually when the EA gets perfected we would all i presume like to take it to ECN, help appreciated im a programming novice...

Im sure I could figure it out but honestly, I'm currently swamped with my move. That REALLY sucks that ECN does that. This means that other EA's will also have issues with them as well. I really wonder why they are being stupid like that. If you want to do it yourself, give it a shot. It honestly shouldnt be too hard to figure out how to make the changes yourself. I really wish I could put the time into it right now, but again, I'm crazy busy.

Hi,

because I started to follow the thread about nanningbobs system,

I found my way here.

Had a quick look into the EA's, there are quite a lot of them.

For your problem about sending the order to an ECN, i think you have to change the line

OrderSend
to

int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,mylotsi,BuyPrice,slippage,0,0,"MyMEFx EA"+MagicNumber,MagicNumber,0,ArrowsColor);
Sleep(1500);
OrderModify(ticket,OrderOpenPrice(),sl,tp,0,ArrowsColor);

Because I cannot check on a ECN Demo, I added the sleep(1500) that is 1.5 seconds before the Order will be changed to add tp and sl.

Hope this helps

Entry rules

you have the main MA the one in the center. The price sticks to that most of the time. But when it leaps away from the center MA it crosses the first closest MA off set. In 60x90 I think most had it at 90 pips from center ma
oh the MA is locked to a TF (the higher the TF the more volatile the EA becomes.) And are 80 bars long long. After it enters it’s locked to a grid. The price moves 90 pips and enters with a multiplier of 3 to perform the necessary martingale trade with a movement of 60 pips to profit. But that 60X90.
The new set up is 180x200 I think it enters in at 100 pips from center MA. It has a new indicator on the bottom. Not sure of the use for it.

you can check with Bob.

Hello traders,

i can provide an EA with mostly all settings you need. u can use it for ECN broker as well 5 digit broker. you don't have to add a zero in any settings. only switch Use5Digit to TRUE.
you can use this EA for all NanningBob settings. the parameters should be clear to understand.

the TakeProfit is the fake and the RealTP is the real TP.
There is also an Alert system included, which give you an alert if all positions were closed or an alert if Level x is opened.
there is a spreadlimiter included, which did prevent opening levels over spread x (the pipspreadvalue).
an ATR parameter, which if is true, takes the ATR(x) as the distance from middleline to open the first level. if UseAtr is true, the variable buffer will be ignored.
TF is the Timeframe-parameter for ATR or for the MA to use in.
if something is not understandable, then ask.

good luck and many pips to all of us

Hi there,

Thanks for this code. Very Nice piece of work.

1. Can you help as to why the error in the journal I get is order sell LOTSIZE PAIR opening at xxx Failed?

My money management is on and risk is 10% and lot size is 0.01?

What am i doing wrong?

2. Also, do you believe the results in Strategy tester? It obviously doesn't work with SPREADLIMIT as how does it track Spread when broker varies?

3. Any reason why you took reversal out? Are you using another trending technique together with this one?

thanks,
//cx

hello cx007,

nice to here that this EA is your choice.

1. Don't forget the NFA Rule. Only positions in one direction could opened. i think this error in the journal is, because you have already opened a long position. to avoid this, you have to open a second account like i do. one account for only longs and one for only shorts. this could be set in the Expert-Advisor-propertyeditor on tab 'general'.
If you have MM = 1 you do not need to set the lotsize amount.

2. the spreadlimiter only open the first level at defined spreadvalue. if the spread is 20 and you set 15 then it does not open any order only if spread goes down under or equal 15 pips. the next levels will not affect from the spread limiter. if you test the EA in the strategy-tester. it will take the spread at the moment you push the start-button. so it is difficult to test settings at the weekend, if the quotes end with a spread higher than 18. all above 18 pips-spread will not work with this strategie.

3. i took the reversal option out, because i only trade counter-trend. if you like the reversal-option you could simply modify the code at line 84. only add 'extern' (without quotes) at the beginning of the line:

Inserted Code
extern bool ReverseCondition=False;

nice day

Hi there Der Stratege,

I read on another thread that you're working on an english manual for your nanningbob v1.90 EA. Just windering how that's going? Also, have you revised the EA anything from the one you posted in this thread in may?

If the translation isn't finished, could you please send the german manual to me?

TIA

I've loaded nanningbob's system with the templates and the EA's, but my charts don't show the red, green and yellow MA lines, only the gray MA line. What am I doing wrong?

My levels for the indicators were set at 900, 1800 and 2700 due to the 5 digit platform. I changed them to 90, 180 and 270 and they appeared. Thanks again for your help Nanningbob!
