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.
Just wondering about that. I have been demoing this EA only and have made 31000 pips and lost 12500 pips in the past two and half weeks. So was definitely wondering about the difference if it were live. And I am letting this run 24/5 with 2 rescues and 1 rescue running now.
Find the edge, and keep it sharp.

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 agree 100%. Wish they have a competitor asap, we would benefit from that.

Please find the attached EA.

It is same thing as what we've been used on the thread. But I change some inefficient coding about TimeFrame. So now the TimeFrame could be set like this:

If 5 minute trading, you input 5 at "TimeFrame" field;
If 15 minute trading, you input 15 at "TimeFrame" field;
......
If 4H trading, you input 240 at "TimeFrame" field;

anyway, always use "number of minutes" to represent the TimeFrame you want to trade with. This "TimeFrame" parameter changes the MA used to decide the 1st level entry.

As to the hidden TP, You may check the last function in the code, the function is called "Close4IBFX".

imho, I don't think IBFX can go inside this EA to find out the actual TP value. What I added is that when an order's profit is more than 60, the order will be closed. I leave the original "TP" field there with a 200 value. I believe that you can have the takeprofit pips (in this case 60) as an external variable so that it is easy to use. However, I still hard-coded '60' into "Close4IBFX" function so that it is more hidden, hoho.

All in all, I think EA is working on user's end, and IBFX cannot know the true TP. When the order is placed, the order will have a 200 TP specified. but the "Close4IBFX" is always inspecting open positions, if any position has 60 pips profit, it will be closed.

That's my understanding of "hidden stop", if wrong, please correct me and code it another way.

Yes I want to see if this changes the spread enlarging as price gets closer to the TP line. I have documented this happening on another thread where I took pictures while it happened. I have seen it happen too often.

I found that IBFX is not that indispensable.

For example, I'm trading live on ibfx with 2000$, use Bob's default settings, but around 10~12 pairs. Trading nano lots.

same risk level, i can go to FXDD, with 20000$ still trading dime lots (microlots) on 10~12 pairs. but I'm poor, so in real world, let's do this with FXDD:

still use 2000$ trading microlots, but with say, 1~2 pairs. or 3~4 pairs....

wtf something is seriously up with my platform....

after removing all charts, experts and profiles from my GO Markets platform then uninstalling the mt4 then reinstalling another one it is STILL opening up two positions instead of one, and is gonna put some realy pressure on my margin if it goes a few levels...

how is theis possible?

and then if i remove everything like charts and experts etc and even have expert advisors turned off it still opens poisitons???


EDIT: Just talked to the guys at GO markets and theyve never heard of such a thing.... its very strange....



It couldnt possibly be by having the exact same settings and EA's on my IBFX charts with the same magic number?

Do not use them. They are a "deposit only" broker. As bad as IBFX is, you are way better off with them.

this is ridiculous.... my open position for 1 micro on the audnzd (which was replicated so effectively 2) then went to level 2, which is fine but level 2 opened at 0.09 so almsot a mini (which is replicated - so if it had of gone lower it would have margiend me out), luckily i just got out, but seriously this is effed, i cant even stop trading, ive taken all experts away and it still keeps opening psotions at the MA distance.

ive unistalled and it still fcuks up.

It cant be something in the code can it? cos my ibfx ones are working like clockwork.

Hi

Great work.

Is it possible to show the Time Frame that one sets on the chart ie top right corner. Just easier if switching between Time Frames to remember which Time the Ea is trading on.


Thanks

white, are you sure that you have the same EA that is stored in the ibfx folder in your go markets folder? Can you make sure you don't have 2 instances of go markets open? You don't have one open up at "work" with the EA on do you?

Hit Ctrl/Alt/Delete and go to task manager, click on the processes tab. Terminal.exe should be there for how many times you have each platform open. Like I have ibfx and fxdd open right now and I have 2 terminal.exe.. It won't let me open up another fxdd or ibfx, but there could be something strange going on to where yours is.. or I can create another ibfx folder and open up another ibfx. Are you sure you don't have another computer somewhere with it open?

These are all I can think of. I use ibfx live and I am having no issues.

Hope your VPS is alright. Quite possible that someone else is doing the trading for you! Change the password and see. Strange problem indeed.

now the TimeFrame of the chart is same as TF of the EA used.

if you change chart's TF from 15min to 1Hour, the EA will automatically change its MA to 1H's 80MA. ...... so no need to show on upright corner.....

I didn't make it clear......

After talking to some guys on Skype and in email messages, something that needs to be considered. When you demo, demo the amount of money you will live trade. You can do that by typing the amount in when you open the demo account. So if you plan on live trading 300 dollars, demo trade 300 dollars first so you understand the margin requirements, leverage, etc. of your broker company. There are so many variables it is difficult to give recommendations when people ask me. Do you have a dime account or a penny account. Is it 100:1 or 400:1 leverage. 5 digit broker or 4 digit broker. Do they margin call you at 0 or do they let your margin go in the hole? You can only know these things if you demo what you will do with a live account. So make sure you understand the variables you will run into. The hardest lessons I have learned is not having losing trades but losing money because I margined out on winning trades. So Please demo what you plan on doing live. This will give you your best example of what you can run into.

That should not be happening. That is what the magic number is for so it doesnt do that. That means the EA or broker is not keeping track of the magic number on those trades. Interesting. Double check your Magic number.

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.
Thats true i cannot open a trade and put a stop/profit at the same time.
Can someone code the changes?

Hi Charvo,

I found this code in the EA, but when the EA opens a position, it still displays the TP as 60 rather than the 200 you mentioned? Thanks,
