Hello Steve,
is it possible to add switch to change SL, TP values between dollars
and straight pips? Because now these absolute values have to be
changed every time lot size (=and pip value) changes. Thank you.

It all depends on how complicated it is to amend the code. I shall have a look and see, because I understand how useful this would be.

IBFX Account update since 6/22:

Balance up $22.90
Equity: down ~$12.00
Floating loss: ~$35.00

I'm using Range EA OOTB. If someone has an improved preset file, I'd like to see it. I also wonder if the IBFX anti-hedging rules are having an effect on the strength of the EA.

You bet it does. The moment I can afford it, I shall migrate to a broker that does allow hedging. I can be patient, because that time is not too far off.

6/5, 6/11, 6/18, 6/23.

Drives me nuts when this happens. Past experience is, this sorts itself out.

Mind you, it also explains why I want the AshFx robot to work out as well.

I wouldn't mind giving your ash one a try also, and letting it run while i am on vacation next week. You have a set you could share to get me on the same page as you with it? When I get back I can also spend some time playing in the ol backtester and doing some optimizations.

Generally speaking, my set file is the default I release. Just look out for the pip settings for max spread, tp etc to make sure they fit your broker. Just go with the flow with the max spread setting, for now; the blasted 5 digit broker thingy is causing me some problems here. I am giving serious thought to removing this setting from the robot.

Have a pleasant holiday.

Thanks Steve, will do.
Yeah, I broke down and installed a demo of alpari, and the 5 digit stuff just drove me nuts. I am sticking with fxdd until they make hedging changes if they do (hopefully never).
Thanks, I'll fire the badboy up with default and see where it leads

The prob with the max spread is largely to do with the screen display.

The robot is coded to to allow users to input in 'old money', when a tp of 20 pips was 20, not 200. Code takes care of the translation.

Trouble with doing this with the max spread, is a max spread of 10 therefore becomes a max spread of 1, so I included code to multiply this setting by 10 for those 5 digit wally-plonker-dipstick-pillocks.

Which means the screen displays a max spread of 100 when it should be displaying 10. I only write this to explain why you can ignore it. Nobody seems to have noticed, so far.

I have Strength in Profit Close is disabled
I have Strength in Loss Close is disabled

is this correct?

Also Basket take profit and stop loss is 1.0 and -1.0 should these be increased some, seems it is moving very slowly....

Are you still running StrengthInProfitClose - True?
If so what $ amount did you set Dollar Target to?


Quoting SteveHopwood

Your question made me realise that turning off StrengthInProfitClose is a clear mistake. If a strongbasket has not hit tp at the point the robot is about to start validating a weak basket, then closing it in any proft has to be a good move. I shall make this the default in future.

I did. It shows in stoch readings. But it is so obvious that I thought it not worth mentioning.

Hi, Steve!
Last month I wrote in post №433 about the B.E. function (in ver. 2.3). It worked incorrectly. Since then I have been traded in demo and real account and I have noticed that B.E. functions only with JPY pair, but not with USA pair. How can I solve this problem?

You can't. I have stated many times that I cannot work out why the routine functions incorrectly.

The knowledge that it appears to be working correctly with one trigger is helpful. Perhaps it may help me track down the fault, so I will look again. Just don't hold your breath whilst waiting.

changed every time lot size (=and pip value) changes. Thank you.

Just to let you know, I have changed the code so that sl and tp are expressed in pips. This is a straight change as an either/or is just too complicated to code.

I need to run the new version on demo for a few days to make sure there are no unintended consequences of the change. Once I know everything works, I will release it.

I've attached this weeks demo results for those who are interested. Balance is up $22.90 with a floating drawdown of $36.22.

Steve, I used the OOTB settings and StrengthInProfitClose is enabled but with a StrengthProfitDollarTarget = $0.00. Do I need to disable StrengthInProfitClose to match your settings?

Thanks for your hard work. If this EA performs as I expect, I'll put it on a live account once I understand it well enough and owe you a beverage of your choice.

Thinking about it, I am going to turn my StrengthInProfitCloseback on. The whole point is to close a basket at the point the robot will start looking for an open basket in the opposite direction but the currently open basket has not hit tp - might as well take the profits on offer.

You might think about your lot size. On my IBFX mini live account, I trade 0.01 lots per $100 balance. This equates to 1 lot on your $10,000 demo (TP = $100) and will give you a greater feel for both the profitability when things are going to plan, and the pain of an extended dd period.
