DislikedGuys,
I'm not having any kind of trouble as you describe opening and closing trades with the v2.8 EA that I can tell. I have 18 trades so far across all pairs with 1H and 30M charts. I checked my Journal logs for any errors as pointed out in earlier posts and don't see anything like that. Then again, I'm only using a single option filter of TradeUsingMMF. As such, I will stick with v2.8 until the close of the trading window today and upload my trades taken then.Ignored

DislikedAll,
Attached is version 2.8 modified with the error handling routines. I'd like Gary to take 'ownership' of this now so that we don't get out of sync with the versions.
Here's what I've done:
1. Added the functions in to address the error handling routines in the code when Opening or Closing trades (note: I've not done it for the Modify orders)
2. Added a default StopLoss value in for currencies other than EURUSD, EURJPY, GBPJPY, GBPUSD & USDJPY when UseRecommendedSLSettings = true. This minor issue was why some currencies had a StopLoss...Ignored
Dislikedif(UseRecommendedSLSettings == true)
{
Stoploss = 40; // -NK- 20-Feb-2009. This is a catchall in case the EA is placed on other currencies not listed here.
if(Symbol()=="EURUSD") Stoploss = 35;
if(Symbol()=="EURJPY") Stoploss = 45;
if(Symbol()=="GBPJPY") Stoploss = 55;
if(Symbol()=="GBPUSD") Stoploss = 45;
if(Symbol()=="USDJPY") Stoploss = 25;
}
I think I put this Stoploss in my last submission but didn't check the code again after Gary put it up. Lesson learnt: check your submitted codes again after updateIgnored
DislikedSince activating 2.8 yesterday afternoon/early evening, no problems. Have had 17 trades across all pairs with exception of USDJPY with 90% of the TFs. Am using MMF only. No errors in my Journal Logs either. Am using FXDD. Am installing 2.9 right now.Ignored
DislikedThank you Nick!
I've been researching your idea since I read your post. I was playing around with OrderReliable in the code but wasn't sure I had found the latest version. I'm going to run through your code now - your input/expertise is greatly appreciated.

DislikedFlapper,
Since you and I seem to have similar results and we are both only using the MACD option filter, tell me if you are starting to see the following trend emerge over the past week or so... This filter option appears to produce more winning trades than losers BUT the profits are smaller on the wins and the losses are bigger on the fewer losing trades.
Now, granted, over this period of testing, we were still trying to confirm that the EA is opening and closing trades (phase I) as designed by the blueprint and not focused on the filter options...Ignored
DislikedIf you're still having tradecontextbusy errors within a specific metatrader terminal, open up another terminal, and put the EAs there. It's the equivalent of having multiple data pipes going into the server.
And yes, I have 40 terminals running at any one time in my trading server. So I know it's possible. They house my EAs and tick gathering programs.Ignored
DislikedAs per my prior post, I stuck with v2.8 all day as I didn't encounter the errors of opening and closing trades as some others did but I traded the EA on all 5 pairs with 1H and 30M charts for each pair and only the option filter of TradeUsingMMF=true (MACD only), all other filters false.
I'm looking forward to the weekend and break in trading so we can analyze what we know so far. Would be nice if perhaps Gary or Damon can post a summary of all the knowns and unknowns (what is working and what is not) to date. TGIF!!!Ignored
