You should avoid any pairs where the spread is > 100 (5 decimal).
thanks for that tokyomaster

The Aud/nzd has a varying spread and can range from 14 to 40. So if the first line lets say enters with a 14 spread and the second line opens with a 30 spread this will affect the distance. (an extra 16 pips)There is a post earlier called nanningbob v. 1.9. He has put spread control in the program so you should have less problems with it. I am demo testing his program now and if it works this week I will post the different variables.

Another thing, once price enters, the lines are frozen from that point even though price keeps moving and lines...
Bob,
Thanks for the explanation regarding the way the EA works, point taken!

 The TF for USDCAD is M15 on the chart same as your EA

 For the demo I am using SIGTrader, they are a 4 decimal broker

I will continue to observe results, and will report in due course.

In time I may take up your suggestion and try the v1.9

Thanks

I ran the 60x90 originals on a demo and did not take any major hits this last week. So lets see whats up. Check are you with a 5 decimal or 4 decimal broker? IBFX demos are now 5 decimals but their lives are still 4. I did that once and the program lost money for a couple of days until I discovered that was my problem. I hope to be posting an EA that can do both 4 and 5 decimal brokers. It is the nanningbobv1.9 posted earlier in the thread. I plan to use it full time if it continues to past the demo test. It has some great features added by the...
Bob,
GBPNZD
I had one trade at -31 pips (could have been -130) Level 1
then a trade +60 pips - Level 2
and a trade of +60 pips - Level 2 again
Bit lucky here I think!
I can see that this pair can travel along a channel for a long time, so I am taking your advice and eliminating the GBPNZD pair from the list.
Thanks for the tip

I have also coded in the following change(s)...

if(Bid > Var5 + (Pips * Point))
{
if(iRSI(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,0) < 40)..
Good thinking..
But, we are entering trades against the trend normally, so will this criteria be met?
Hope Bob will clarify on this.

An RSI filter. Interesting, will take a look at it.

Yes but you will get fewer entries, however, the ones you get have a much higher ratio of ending in profit.

I finally got my 5 decimal demo up and running. I added zero to profit, stop loss and pips. However it seems to be taking more trades than my 4 decimal demo. Was there something else I missed that I should have adjusted?

Thanks

Charvo, thanks for the advice.

This week I'm dropping chf/jpy and only trading the 4 majors, the history of this ea is that it wins +85% of the time on the first two steps so this week I'm only playing 2 steps. My loss will be -202 and hopefully the wins will far exceed the losses. .
Pretty good day for the settings from above. Lost twice today (-210 x 2 = -420) and ended up +214. That 2protect ea kept me out of a couple real losers, playing ea 24/5 for right now. I'll keep you informed....

i have a few ideas to help

(1) we need a stop trading setting that finishes up with the trades we are in. and adds retraction trades if needed but does not start a new trading group.
this would be good for news days and weekend.

(2) some form of spike indicator that can be set to dump trades or stop trading

(3) some form of trend indicator, (i have thought about this and i think something that may help is the MA distance to entry, this number could be changed as it goes farther into the trend)
you know trade with the overall trend.

Try this one (FX Predictor). I use it with great success. Supposedly, it is not a lagging indicator and it gives you the percentage of the candle/bar buy/sell strength along with the countdown for the current bar.

Has anyone else been having trouble whenever simply changing the input parameters getting the ea to do trades?

I don't know why it does it, but it seems like every time I make changes it gives me grief in executing trades.

I went to the tools- options- experts- and made certain that the appropriate boxes were checked and/or unchecked.

Any ideas to fix this problem?

If you have used a demo or live account for several months, MT4 saves things all the time and slows it down. Especially if you use the back tester alot. Try downloading a fresh copy from your broker and set it up and see if that helps. I do this every 3-6 months with my live and demo accounts.

i wander if we can hook this up with the 60x90 so the pressure to trade against trend will get smaller

I totally agree with DMJ.

It would be really nice to have a stop trading setting with a timed execution and also sensitive to spiking in the wrong direction of the trade.

Unfortunately, I don't see how one could really code something like that other than using the current stop loss.

Really excellent ideas DMJ!

THAT'S not hard to code. i tried that 2 months ago. it is simply no good for this system.

much of profit comes from spike then retracing. if removing those entries, this system may change greatly its nature, by only entering market during peaceful times, and trades may often last longer than 1 day, which is dreadful and dangerous.

nice, QZ. go on with your efforts. however, always use caution.

i feel that 1 month of experiment might be more affirmative to a setting anyway, considering this week is a peaceful one.

in crazy times, one day we might lose 600 pips.

btw, you use x2 to multiply position size, right?
