Steve ,
sry to bother you but after 24 hrs I'm still not getting the legend on the screen on either of my comp. and it has not traded even once. Can you re-post the EA? This is the only version which is acting funny.

Looks like a corrupted download as nobody else has mentioned this. I have re-uploaded the zip anyway, so get it from post 1 as usual.

Just had a thought, so I havve uploaded it here as well, just in case your machine is responding badly to zip files.

It doesnt open any trades.

Steve,

Yep. I have two demos open, one attempting to trade 'naked' AshFx and one attempting to trade with all the filters. Lots of impending trades on the naked version, a couple on the all-filter, but no actual trades.

I will have another look at the filters over the weekend.

Oops. Hehe. Thanks Gary. I have edited the post.

And yes, it is indeed another EA I am working on, blows this one into the next universe and is chiefly the reason I don't care too much whether this one ends up working or not.

Read about it at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=152341 and be prepared to have your socks blown off when you put it on demo.

Are you going to share your new EA with us? I hope you do.

vinesh, there are not many things that annoy me, but failure to read what I post before replying is one of them. Go back to my post and read it properly. Then follow the link. The read the thread the link presents you with.

On second thoughts, perhaps best not. If you cannot cope with a simple link to the thread, you certainly cannot cope with the EA's the thread focuses around.

Right now, none of them. The robot is off my live account and not taking trades on the demos. I feel it is going nowhere and am close to abandoning it altogether.

The winning percentage is pretty good so far with the latest version. As a matter of fact it's 100%, maybe because I use tight money management and trails. Been locking in gains between 10 and 15 pips on my live account. Oh yeah, I'm trading it on a 1 hr timeframe, using a 50 pip SL, and also using the Multi-purpose Management EA. I know that the rules are for 4 hr but I kinda wanted more trades and so far so good.

Steve....not trading for me either....have had it installed on demo account for almost two days on 4 Hr. GBP/JPY....no trades. Today there was a long trade setup on G/J that appeared to be perfect....believe it followed Ash's trading rules to a tee....no trade. Sure had high hopes for this version of your EA!

Yes I have the same problem, I set up this EA on a demo account on IBFX mini lots - 4H GBPUSD Chart, but no trades for the full week!
Did anyone have any trades this week on 4H chart?

Any feedback would be great, I personally used v1.4 of this EA in the past and all was working well

Me too. Loads of impending trades, but nothing actually sent.

Being the coder, I am able to do some bug hunting to see if the problem is in the trade-filter function. So far, every impending trade has failed one of the filters both via the robot and looking at the screen - AO is wrong, or AC is wrong, or Stoch has been wrong. This function hasn't changed since I first wrote it, for 'naked AshFX' trading, at least. Extra, non-Ash filters are only used if the user has set them to do so.

Has anybody used an instance of the robot that did place any trades this week? If so, which version? I don't thing it matters but am not perfect, so I might have missed something.

The KG Range robot needs market volativity to take a lot of succesful baskets, and this has not happened this week. Perhaps the markets have been to quiet for my AshFx robot as well? Anybody traded it manually this week?

Hi Steve,

I have been trading this system with some success but not manually. I am using Ronald's EA for live a couple of weeks now. I think I got about 700 pips this weeks on the major, USDCAD and AUDUSD. I could have gotten more if the second trade did not give back at breakeven. I wish I have enough room to try your EA but since I got no activity, I stopped it.

I think your EA has stopped trading after you added the Fibo part and may be I am wrong. Since we are here, how about use a version before the Fibo and implement my idea of entering at pullback against the previous bar to get a better fill. May be this EA will trade again effectively.

Another problem I notice is EA would often close trade in small losses. I don't know if we can investigate this problem seperately when we get a version that does trade.

Thanks for your hard work coding and kept us moving forward.

Hi Steve,

Thanks, I will look into that and see if I have forgotten to add the code that turns off the fibs when the user does not want them, although watube's reply suggests this is not the case.

On Monday, I will put the ea on a handful of 1 minute charts to see what activity it generates.

I had not noticed this, so it needs investigating. Thanks.

That is very helpful watube, thanks. This and my observation suggests that the robot is behaving correctly on my 4H charts. I might start a 1H demo next week to see what happens.
