Hey Gary...

Is that whole concurrentorders setting even needed at all? If not, I am for just getting it out of the properties thus simplifying things a bit. What cha think?

Thanks for the new version, today I will let it run on 30TF and later I will let you know the results. I would like to know if I need or not to allow the EA to import the DLL when I am setting it up(the pic is attached).

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the party! Right now we are are trying to get the EA dialed in correctly so that the basic trade execution functions correctly. Pavatar and his EA programmer posse should get it dialed in soon. Its been a long haul up to this point but I have all the faith in them that they will. DamonL (our ship's Captain) will probably start dividing up the testing assignments to us soon after. We'll need all the help we can get with that because there are a lot of different trade filters in the EA now and plenty more on the table for...

Hi Guys Richard reporting for duty. I can not code but am willing to help out where i can. I use (Alpari-us) MT4 for a broker. So if you need someone to run a part of the set up while others run other parts just give me the asignment. I am retired and available most of the time... working from USA AZ MST.

So far, I have just traded GbpUsd M30 TF just to test that the entries and exits are good.

Chart 1 - Macd Filter set to True

Because I did not watch the trades all day, I do not know if the stops, and T/P were correct, but it appears that the EA missed a trade at 9:30 GMT and 12:00 GMT

Chart 2 - Stochastic Filter set to True

This setting missed trades at 7:30, 8:00, 9:00 and 13:30 GMT

Chart 3 - ZZI filter set to True

This setting missed trades at 8:00, 9:00 and 14:00 GMT

Can anyone else check if they had trades...

Were those exact timing of losing orders? Please compare with the winning trades and see if the winners are created after the critical 5 minutes. If so, I will do something to trade only after 5 minutes of new bar instead of selecting block of trading hours.

I think what would really help everyone is a sticky post in sort of a "EA setup Manual" style to make sure everyone is on the same page in one easy to find location.

Thanks for all your hard work developers! I am excited to see where this goes and help where needed

Damon,

Unfortunately I came to the party late on 2/24 with EA version 2.10 running on my ForexMeta demo. So I missed all of these trades (times) in question but I looked at my GBPUSD 30M chart and identified the trading bar times you described as the EA missing trades for. I load the Slingshot Bars v2 indicator (introduced by Pavatar on post #639 2/19/09) on my charts. Look at the attached chart screen shot.

Bar Label 1 = 7:30 (not identified as a Slingshot bar per the indicator)
Bar Label 2 = 8:00 (Slingshot bar per the indicator)
Bar Label...

Hello traders. been following this post now for a while and got approval to post...

I've been tracking this slingshot method ever since it was born on another thread and really like where everyone here has taken it. I have downloaded and installed (correctly i hope) the newest version of the code and am currently letting it run on my forex-meta MT4. i would be happy to test different settings and share results with the class if i could.

as of now i am pretty sure the EA is configured and loaded correctly on the 10 charts used with only the first...

As promised, here's the code associated with closing our trades (other than hitting the SL or TP of course).

To get the whole thing going, in the start function we have:

PHP Code

 if (DisableClosingOrders==false && allOrders > 0) CheckClosingConditions(); 

"disableClosingOrders==false" is hard coded = that's ok
"allOrders" simple checks to if any orders are open of any type

Next lets look at the above mentioned function:

[php]
void CheckClosingConditions()
{
if (NewBar())
{
int cnt;
int total = OrdersTotal();
for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt,...
