Hi dfxclub,

Re the arrow: the EA places market orders on the account (entry, SL, sometimes TP) and those will be marked on the chart with coloured triangles & lines already. When partial close of a position happens that is also marked with triangle and line from the open point on the chart. I was hoping that would give sufficient feedback to the user - I know its not perfect What advantage do you see if further arrows would be placed around the existing marks?

Thanks for the feedback!
Mate no dramas then... since I didnt open a position yet I didnt see any of those.

And I guess for those who like to enter the trade manually then they can select manual confirmation from EA options.

Hopefully I will open a trade soon and see how it works.

Seems like the U.S dollar is showing a significant weakness on the long term. Very long term (months). The monthly candles have both closed on EUR/USD and CAD/USD. Both indicate a weak U.S dollar. The AUD/USD had already indicated a weak U.S dollar as of last month. And the GBP is also turning bullish against the dollar as of this month (not closed yet).

The monthly time frame is perhaps not ideal but just giving a heads up. Especially because 4 major pairs are indicating a weak U.S dollar for long term.

Charts below.

AUDUSD just opened up after I added v11.

However I had not yet set the parameters to money management 1 and Exit method 2 so it entered 0.1 lot BUY.

Afterwards I amended all the pairs to MM 1 and Exit 2 so will see how it goes. My server time is 8am bar right now ie GMT -3 or London -2.

At least it got opened pheww...

Hi Longbar

Great work from both you and Mister Ed!

I have followed this thread from the first day. I have loaded v.11 and it did not execute a trade at 2000 on the aud/jpy and the usd/jpy
I have attached the aud/jpy for you to see, the trade that you see on it was done manually by me, my computer was connected at time of trade and I believe I have all the settings correct
please advise

thanks for the GREAT work!

FXwest
Hi FXwest,

Seems to me the problem is with the lot size used to submit the market order - same issue what dfxclub has based on the logs I received.

Please let me know what broker you use so I can have a look at it.

Until I fix the EA you could turn off money management and set the Lots parameter to a valid lot size just to get in the orders.

Longbar,
I used ver.10 for 4 days w/o having any trade. Now am trying out ver. 11. Lets see now fingers crossed. I am using MBT MT4 platform, who I think is ECN broker. Am I right?

Hi Vinesh,

Please have a look at the expert log folder and search for messages like these:

22:00:19 MisterED_v0.10.0 AUDUSD,H4: INFO: SubmitOrder - new SELL order at bid:0.84040000 , entry:0.84040000 SL:0.84490000, TP:0.00000000 Lot:1.67000000, ExitMethod:2
22:00:19 MisterED_v0.10.0 AUDUSD,H4: ERROR: SubmitOrder - order submit failed (MT Code: 131 Desc: invalid trade volume)

This would suggest that the broker platform is not comfortable with lot size of 1.67. If you see these then we know what to fix.

Cheers!

Hi LB, mate below is a part of the log from 05082009, shit its long... coz its long I couldnt put it all on here due to message character restirctions... but the messages are the same just with different pairs. I did PM you the whole log and I can email it if you wish but I dont have your email mate.

thanks for all the effort LB. I have version 10 uploaded. Last night my computer rebooted while I was asleep due to windows update so I turned it on again. Will continue to review it.

Have a good one


22:00:19 MisterED_v0.10.0 AUDUSD,H4: INFO:...
Hi dfxclub,

The problem is the broker does not like the lot size of 1.79 above. Let me know what broker do you use so I can take a closer look to work around this.

In the meanwhile you could use the Lots parameter with money management off to get the EA submitting orders.

Hi Mister Ed, I am happy with the system, and have been trading it live in my dime acccount.

Quick Question? When the first Atr profit target is hit shortly after entering the position like what just happened on th USD/JPY do you wait until the 4 Hour bar closes to move your trailing Heikin Ashi stop up, or if you are around ,or have an alert set ,would you move it up as soon as you have been notified that your 1st position profit target had been reached.

Thanks for The Clarification

Hi Pipquest

I would move the trailing stop up as soon as I had seen the TP1 triggered. I'mot sure if this is done on the EA but it is what I do manually.

Not such a good start to the month but that's the way it goes. It should improve next week as the NFP etc results will be out of the way. This was the same in June and things did much better as the month progressed.

All the best

Hi LB

My broker is Forex Place www.4xp.com

the interesting thing is when I did not apply the money management a trade did open but after I changed the money management settings to 1 and exit method to 2 then no trades opened up and today a few more trades should have opened...

Do you think I should try without money management?

Thanks

This is a minor version 0.11.1 improving the lot size calculations for brokers with other than 0.01 lot size step, ie for FXCM and I guess for MBT and 4xp.com.

dfxclub, vinesh & FXwest: could you check this out with money management on that lot size now is calculated right for your platform and orders get through?

I tested with FXCM but not with MBT and 4xp.com, however there is a good chance that all of them would work now.

Note: also corrected the help text Mr ED spotted recently.

Have plenty of pips!

Hi Mr Ed

Great system and Of course Longbar for his excellent work!

do you exit trades the night before or at sometime before a big monthly report such as the Non farm labor report due out tomorrow

as that may be the cause of the turmoil in the system this week

thanks

Hi FXwest

As far as the back testing results are concerned I have not closed the trades early. In the real life situation I may close early or at least bring the stops in. Sometimes things will move very fast and gap through the stop so it may be better to just close the trade and live to fight another day.

I'm not taking any new trades until after the NFP this time.

All the best

The help text refers to PLCHelp "parameter" which was describing ExitMethod=3 instead of ExitMethod=2. That is the PartialClosePct parameter is used only when ExitMethod 2 is active.
