I keep getting the "excessive loss" alert, like every few seconds. How do I turn this off, and more importantly, why is it happening?

Please someone help! The alerts are driving me crazy!! I get the alert sound every few seconds!

Well...I still didn't gave up upon this EA. Strategy we try to use with arrows had some issues and now I'm helping with other indicators to determine if play a game for that day or not. I'm sure, a good combination+price action will give resoults.

T/p = 35pips

Gbp/Usd +175pips for today

The point of this EA to be max. succesfull is when market is ranging, and will be less succesfull if price goes straith one way. Good example is this chart from today.

Not sure where to post this, so hope someone sees it and helps me out here.

Or points me in the right direction.

Just one simple question regarding EA's;

If I install an EA on a Broker's system and the robot begins to initiate trades, is there a way the broker can distinguish whether the trade is executed by a robot or human??

If so, Please explain.

If not, Great!!!

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Pippdaddy, OUT!

Hey Daddy

Short answer ''YES'' , broker can see EA is placing trades, but most of them will allow that kind of trading, but be aware that every EA don't work with all brokers. If you got scalping EA, many brokers will reject it. And of its to succesfull, they can reject it to, for any stupid reason they can find.
Hope thats help a little.

Hi all,

I added an MM(Money Management) function to xchaparro's EA(Firebird v63G trader seven3.mq4) to see if we can maximize profits.

HMA Modified.mq4 file is the same as post #470. But I will just post them together for convenience sake.

I added the option to no trade on Monday. I also added this indicator HMA hull, H4 to prevent to open trades when the trend change. You can choose "UseHMA" or not. I was running EURUSD today and the trend changed, even when the arrow and HA were in line at the begining. I refreshed the D1 chart and the indicator repainted. The EA will keep trading because it refresh the values once a day for the arrows. Samurai let me know if this work for your idea. Also do you want to close all the trades the next day, even if they are in profits? The EA won't...
Hi Xchaparro

Thanks for your work on this. Does the HMA indicator need to be placed on the same chart as EA for this to work?

Hi All,

Thanks for your work and contributions on this EA and system. There are a couple of versions floating around which one has proven the most reliable on a live account?

I tried to Demo them Money Management Version but it would not place any trades continues to say MaxOrdersOpen=0 Anyone else have similar or different results?

Thanks

Hey Samurai

I noticed throughout this thread you have tested different indicators to supplement your method. Just curious at this point are you sticking with your original simple method of D1 with HA and EMA cross or have you adjusted it? Also are you still using original FB 63G trader seven EA version?

Thanks,

J

Hi guys,

First of all I would like to apologize for dissapearing lately, I'm setting up a small company so it drains my energy, no space at all in my brain to answer this thread, was checking this thread several times and seems not much sound.
Well.. overall we still have to find a way to minimize the risk since we know that we can dig lots of green pips with this system, there's gonna be losses of course, but still profit cumulatively in the end of the month.
I'm trading this live (using my semi auto style) but only when I'm sure of the direction coz for me trading is a side job, getting 500pips for $1/pip is enough for me.
I'm sugessting dont trade it live yet, I do really know how this system can gain lots of pips, but i do really know also the drawdown that may accour, just wait untill we find a good risk management, meanwhile just take this thread as a comfort place to discuss. But if u insist, then u need $10,000 minimum deposit (its a must).

Regards,
Samurai Power

In my opinion, xchaparro EA is suitable for me, it allow us to make the EA open more trades by setting MA on the 5-8open (indicator), and we can control not to open trade when its against 4H chart, but i dont find best setting yet.

im thinking about the result if this fully auto EA to open trade continuously until the HA or arrow changed, and make it as an option wether trade only for the next 24 hours or continuously, hope xchaparro read this .

But one thing for sure I do really agree with this..

Welcome back Samurai,
Yes, it was more or less quiet since you been away, I'm glad your back.
Well, I also thinking all cainds of crap to get this work better. I was running ea on flat market to, with long&short and it gave pretty good resoults, so we can take advantage also on ranging market. But as you, I still search for good combination of ideas about timing. Will get my self VPS this week, couse I got some problems with inter.connection lately.
BTW, wish you much success with company buddy

Cheers

Thx gasgas fren.
Yes i was having trouble also with net connection and not only that, i couldnt run my EA while im working, so VPS is a very good solution, providing u 99% up time connection, and im just using my PDA only to see the chart update, very simple and mobile. Im using VPSland.com, took the cheapest one, only $17/month. if anyone having trouble with net connection I suggest u use this fascility.

Hi guys, wanted to say thanks much for all your hardwork and research and sharing what can be a very powerful tool here if one can identify the daily trend which i do not think is too difficult although we should never take for granted and keep an eye out. I read every page on this thread and i am to believe the semi auto version originally posted is to be the best option. I got confusing to the middle of this thread. so much tal;k of an
EA auto and different questions. I was very tempted to organize ALL of it on a pdf to help out but quite honestly i am so tired from reading this whole thing. Probably best to sum it up by sticking wiht original semi auto drive with original rules as samuri seems to be getting very consistent results even thru difficult trading times.....

Big salute to the ones that really help to make this work and glad to have found this. i will run this live with small lots next couple months and be back to post results.

Whats happening in EUR/USD should be happening to you!

Hi there, thread participants.

Thanks and respect to Samuraj Power and others who work tirelessly to realize the potential of Firebird by Trader Seven

I have been reading through the posts, and backtesting various versions of Firebird, and I have been thinking of ways to filter out losing positions.

Just now it struck me that the price action this EA uses is an oscillation: Lay the seeds on the way up and pick the fruits on the way down, and vice versa. These oscillations occur on different scales, and the biggest scale causes problems for Firebird. It picks long positions occasionally just as the large oscillation is about to turn South and short positions just as a large upward movement is about to commence.

This large size price action wave happens more or less in a range - in other words: it is a range based price movement (not always of course, but often).

Now, a very good indicator to indicate range based turns is the Stochastic. So why don't we apply the stochastic on an appropriate scale as a filter for halting long trades on top of the price action hill top and short trades in the very bottom of the valley?

The default Stoch setting is 5 3 3 - I tried Stoch setting 288 172 172 instead on a five minute chart, and lo and behold, the Stoch 'value' line appeared below 20 just as a short trade would have been disastrously wrong and above 80 when a long position would have lost one money. Isn't it marvellous?

This also means that both long and short trades can be taken at other times when this over sized Stoch is neither oversold or overbought.

The version I checked this out with is [Firebird v63G trader seven]. If one of you super intelligent coders could stick a Stoch filter in there I think we'll be successful and very rich, all of us. (...I hope)

Cheers
