Hi All

Im running live on this & all looks good, however Ive just added the 15m 60x90 to EURNZD 15 min chart & a strange thing happened immediately, a sell was triggered, looking at the chart I would have at the least expedcted a buy to be triggered as its in the buy zone, any ideas?. Im running on alpari UK who use 5 digits pricing & Ive amended the inds & the EA accordingly, seems to work fine on my other charts but this one puzzled me.

Regards
Tony

can someone please help me....

one of my platforms keeps opening double orders....

i think it may have something to do with it shutting down on the weekend when it was still open...

ive deleted all charts, all profiles, turned off expert advisors, removed all experts, and its still opening trades (not doubles any more)... its fcukked i nearly had margint roubles cos of audcad just then luckily got a good profit but still it keeps eating my profit cos i keep trying to "close all"...

HELP!
May be something to do with magic numbers..Some EAs may be having same magic number?

EURNZD spreads are crazy and probably you will have to adjust the settings to open trades much farther to the median.
Bob has addressed this problem few posts back.
Just my 2 pips..

what is your solution daddy?
dmj,
I don't know that there is a way around this. Why would a regulated broker be allowed to do this without penalty? Can an ECN broker plug something like this in to slip and delay trades?

the problem is the ask can spread at times, but then again if the bid hits the line and the spread is too large its to high from the initial line


BID or ASK that is the question?
I see what you guys are saying now. Basically you are just waiting longer on the red line to get in.... that way it covers any spread widening, then it has less pips to get out... so sort of like what you, me and paradoxical are doing waiting longer than 90 pips away. If the spread is 50, then it has to move 140 pips away on the bottom line in order to get in the buy. Right?

u are luck that it doesn't cost you whole account. It might happen when u are not looking for hours or it happen during your sleep. Sounds scary to me.

Bob and guys,
Have you read the thread entitled " MT4 Brokers Virtual Dealer Plug in" ? It's in the Broker Discussion forum, page 2. This is what is screwing with our trades, not IBFX, it's the MT4 platform.
Yes but IBFX inputs the variables and they can add to the program. I have demoed dozens of company's MT4 and they are not all the same. They have that ability to make changes and one of the big ones is spreads. I just find it interesting that as price gets closer to the TP line the spread gets bigger but as soon as it moves away it quickly goes back to normal. You can go to IBFX widgets and I posted my picutures of IBFX doing it. It really screws up non USA or non EURO cross pairs. I was making good money on the AUD/NZD pair until they really widened them. However, I am figuring ways around it, so we will see.

IBFX is pure scum. I would pull out every cent if there was another nano lot broker. I had a friend who was manual trading only the eur/usd. He was trading one standard lot. He had set a tp and the spread widened up to 30 pips to avoid hitting the tp. This was in the Asian session. At the time, IBFX had a support forum. He complained but they kept beating around the bush. They had so many complaints they had to remove the forum. I hate them LOL.

May I suggest you to uninstall your platform, clear up the registry, and then download and reinstall the software, please?

1. Is your company a 5 digit instead of a 4 digit company. In other words do they do fractional pricing. My EA is not set up for those, there are those who trade that can post EAs that work with them.

2. Also there are some companies you have to get permission to trade with EAs. See if your company is on of those.

3.Go into the programs and hit he compile button on top and try again.

4. Go into the program and change the Magic number and try another Magic number. If that works then you have to change all the EAs and recovery EAs to that number....
Hello nanningbob, thanks for creating such a great EA.

I have tested the EA on an IBFX demo account for one month with very good results.
Then i tried to use it on my live account on ITFX but it didnīt work.
It opens no trades and i get no errors so i dont know what is wrong.
Can you please do a demo test and help me out?
The broker is a 4 digit low spread broker, URL: http://www.investtechfx.com/
Other EAs are working can you please take a look on it?

I believe investtech is an ecn broker who requires the stop/target to be sent as an order modify. Broco is another such as this.
You will have to edit the settings to remove the stop and target, and enter them in after the trade has opened until someone can make the coding change required.

I was wondering if anyone that is trading this EA live, is also trading this EA on a demo account, with the same pairs and setups. If so, what have the differences been? And both live and demo on the same broker.
Find the edge, and keep it sharp.

i am trading both demo and live ibfx. Quite similar. I agree execution is not the same, but up to now the overall difference in results is really not significant.

must make an observation here. I m not using this EA, i am using an EA called MA martingale v3.3 (got it from Baggio Martingale thread). I find it easier to customize, I adapted it exactely to nanningbob 9060 system and settings.

pstrader,
Thanks for your input. Can you give us an estimate (in seconds) on average it takes to fill an order with a live account? Are you seeing spread widening as price gets close to your TP? Thanks much

I know and they have a great product and make enough money that they really dont need to do this. Sooner or later they will get a competitor and that will deeply hurt their business. It is just too bad, they have the tools to be a really good company.

i see spread widening in both live and demo. They re most frequent in live, but as i said before, up to now, this has not caused very different results. I usually see trades that doesn t get filled in live account when they are perfectly filled at demo. But sooner or later the trades in live account get filled to.
Some times i notice the fill is almost inmediate, some times it takes more than 10 secs. When this happens i go to my ea log file and check it. I notice that there are repeated requotes etc.

I am also running demo with the same setup at alpari and fxdd. (all platforms running in a vps)

i found alpari very interesting. better spreads and execution (it would be interesting to see how live account works). Alpari has more disconnections also.

Fxdd works nice, also has microlots as alpari, but both of them doesn t trade nano (IBFX does trade nanolots)

As you see, advantages and disadvantages everywhere.

Good luck
