Now I have 6 pairs in the trending area and so I put the f version in just to see what would happen. Well I got orders but they all went into losses immediately and not just barely, they went fast. Down 150.00 usd. So version g is protecting you for sure. Sure Bernard may still need to tweak it a bit but I'd rather keep then lose money. Dean

update: 2 hrs later 4 of the 6 pairs have gone into profit. D/D got to around 225 at the worst.

Hi scalpz,

check the attachment, I hope it helps. I do not know all the functionality but let me know if you need a helping hand.

Hi Andy, you are awesome. Took me quite a few goes, but I finally got a backtest with 90% qual.
Thankyou so much for your help. There is nothing missing from your doc. If I had read the pop up screens properly, may have had success earlier.
Hope I can repeat it on other backtests later.

Ver 1g EURUSD sell slipped to -50 pips.

cheers

Does anybody know whether the broker can read the comment area because either my timing is lousy when turning on f version or the broker saw the orders and did right the opposite because at the precise moment I did the orders they went fast. 3 got out in small profit after 3 hrs but the others are way away from profit. Bernard maybe that should be something we can change or turn off. Dean

Hi scalpz

Your short entry puts it right on the Pivot S1 line on my system (shows at 1.3246) - what is the S1 line value on your system at time of entry? No entry made on my system.

My apologies to those who do not see any trades taking place.

With so many people stating that they do not have a single trade, I re-checked my codes. There is a bug in the EA which I have overlook.

The EA refers to the history log file where all closed trades are logged, to check that a currency pair that is to be open has a trade closed at least an hour ago, if it has previously traded.

However, I forgot to consider that newly open demo platform has no history files at all. This is affecting the processing logic of the EA.

Please wait a while until I have corrected the error. In the mean time, those who are now running version 1g, e-mail me again so that I can respond with the amended copy later on.

So if we did a small trade and closed it then an hour later it would trade for that pair, correct?

I will give that a try anyway. Might be an easy fix that way. Dean

Dean,

Trades open manually and trades open by EA are two different separate trades.

The EA will only recognise trades open by itself and close it later.

Hi Bernard,

What plans do you have in place to comply with the new NFA hedging rules, which comes into effect on May 15? IBFX have issued a notice that after May 8 they will not allow hedging on open orders within a currency pair..

cheers,

Andy,

At any one time, no two open orders take place for the same currency pair but only one order. The ruling has no impact on the EA.

Hi Andy,
Sorry I missed giving a reply earlier on the Pivot S1. Got far too busy yesterday, took me away from FF - have to stop that.
Currently (7thMay) my S1 is showing as 1.3261 with Pivot at 1.3317, but yesterday when the sell was taken S1 was 1.3262 and Pivot was 1.3349. Cant see why there should be that much diff to your 1.3246 S1.
Oh - unless its brokers, mine is on standard account FXDD demo which is GMT+3.
If I recall right, yours is IBFX demo GMT+0.
Maybe we should add our brokers to version in our headings when needed - like v1g on FXDD demo.
cheers scalpz

In one of my previous message , I stated that there is a bug preventing trades from opening in version 1g.

I have corrected it and am testing it on a new demo platform. If all goes well, I will send the amended copy (named as version 1h) to your e-mail.

I have many e-mails and may overlook. So, for those who are testing version 1g, e-mail me to be put on the sending list.

Hi, I've been following this thread quite closely. I have Ver 1f installed as of now, and dont seem to be getting too many trades. Waiting for the fixed Ver 1g.

Thanks for updating the thread and the EA constantly.

So far, I have received 3 e-mails stating that version 1h crashed while loading. Anyone else facing the same problem?

The EA seems to be working smoothly on my PC though.
