When setting the parameters for the EA, you put an incredibly large number, say 300, instead of the default 60.

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

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,

Is it possible to have a hidden stop loss as well? Using this code people using MB Trading could actually trade the 5 digit live setting tp and stop loss to 0 while having the EA with unlimited connectivity running to keep the integrity of the system intact.

It isn't a very good fix due to a couple factors... news order gapping, internet going down, and etc, but it is a good start in that direction.

Do not use them. They are a "deposit only" broker. As bad as IBFX is, you are way better off with them.
thanks for the reply. making a withdrawal means sending them some ID though, no big deal. could you go into more detail though about why they aren't good?

First post. LOL

I was reading the info on brokers and what they do to keep us frm making money. If you look on the comments of the orders they read MyMEF++++. If I read this correct the brokers can see this also and know what system is placing the order(I also have FAP Turbo). I looked in the settings and did not see any place to change this.

Is there a way? Do I need to check the EA code(I am not a coder)?

Can someone let me know please.

EA working very well. Thanks for all The hard work EVERYONE!

Paul

One last question.


If the text is changed will if effect the closing of the trades? The magic number is part of the text.

Thanks.

I have noticed that on this ea when you want to change the ma or the time frame that you have to go and change the code....this EA already has it built in so you can just change MA as well as adjust the buffer in the settings. Also It will adjust for the time frame of the chart you put it on....I find it a lot easier to use this than to have a different ea for each time frame and also it makes life so much easier to change the buffer instead of going into the code and changing the distance from the MA that the EA trades at. Here is the link where I got this from http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...=144198&page=4 I also attached the file....the original settings are set up for a 5 digit broker but if you put the sane settings that you use for the 60x90 it will perform the same way. The buffer is the Pips from the MA that you want to make the trade and obviously the ma is the ma...these two settings are not affected by a 5 digit broker...let me know if this is easier to use

Correction on my last post...buffer is affected by a 5 digit broker....MA is not. So for a 4 digit broker a buffer of 80 will make a trade 80 pips away from the MA.

It is the same thing as the 60x90 except there is a setting to change the MA and the buffer without having to modify the code and it will also use whatever time frame that you have your chart set to...I have used this for about 2 months with great success

wow that makes it alot easier then me having to go in and change the code everytime i adjust the system...

does this mean we jsut have 1 universal EA that we apply to each chart and then change settings for each pair whilst in mt4?

cos currently I have an EA for every currency i trade...

Also one more feature that I think is overlooked in these EA's that would help everyone out is the cutloss setting. If you set the secure profit protection setting to true, the secure profit amount to 1 and the orders to protect to 3, the EA will ignore your take profit amount and if you are past your third trade it will look at all 3 orders taken and as soon as you reach 1 dollar in profit it will close all your orders. I do not like to go past 3 levels and if I do I am looking for the best time to exit and by using this feature it will allow you to get out of that trade and make 1 dollar profit without waiting for the price to reach the original take profit set by your EA. You obviously can change the amounts to suit your style of trading...hope you find this usefull

I use the same EA for all my currencies and have a different setting for each one....and ofcourse a different magic number....if you want to know my setting i would be more than glad to share...I trade almost all my currencies using a 20ma and on a 5 minute chart....highest drawdown was about 2% on a 500 dollar account trading 17 currencies at .01 and I made 151.86 last month...since then I increased my account to 1000 dollars just to be on the safe side...36.65 dollars so far for this month with .15 drawdown and some currencies at .02....I cant say enough about the dedication and effort that so many have put to make these EA's profitable.

What's the buffer setting do? Sorry, I'm reading the code now I understand.

Have you played around with any of the other settings like Reverse or Money Management? Does anyone know exactly what Reverse does?

Thanks,
Field

P.S. Thanks to all and especially Nanningbob. This is working beautifully.

Have been away for a bit & quickly read through the posts. From what I'm reading, there's a real easy way to change the time frame and distance away & use just one master EA? Very cool. What I like best though is being able to close out when a trade hits level 3 at a dollar profit!! I'll take that dollar, thank you very much, because I don't like to get to level 3, either. Currently, my entries have been anywhere from 110 to 150 away, and I'm happy to close some out at just one level. With this feature, I will feel safer in moving my entries closer in, or start with a higher initial trade amount. Have to study this a bit to figure it all. Thanks for your work.

I'd be interested in your settings. I need to tweak some of mine to get more entries, so I'd like to compare notes. If you'd like you could email me.

my replication issue is sovled, dont really know how though... i removed all mt4's from my vps and reloaded them... with different magic numbers for my ibfx Ea's and different magic numbers for my Gomarkets EA's...

also would for say the audnzd and audcad, would it be wiser to choose the opening entry for a buy from the ASK line or from the BID line and just make it a bit larger then the sell entry distance?

I'd very much like to know more about your settings please. And why do you use a 20 MA on a 5M chart?

i use a 5min chart for all currencies aswell, i make the changes to the MA for 'riskier ones'... the lower the ma the more violent the movement has to be to hit the first level... the MA is very choppy as opposed say a 200ma... the benefit i feel is you can trade the news if your settings are good... those gradual trending climbs that wipe people out, you never get in and those sharp movement off the news which mostly retrace back a few mins later, thats where you can clean up...

thats my thoughts anyways

Opened 3000 demo on 2-18-09 with IBFX using default on everthing excepts lots (.1) and 3 Levels only (no recovery) all on 5 min charts. I've more than doubled account (6500) using 8 pairs all with spreads under 10. Will test a couple more weeks and then live with a 1000 playing .001 or .01.
