DislikedVersion 12 seems to be doing great so far. But it seems the TP is closing the trade when it could be going a lot farther. What do I need to change to stay in the trade longer?Ignored

DislikedYeah, I was expected this to come up sooner or later
This is a good reason to alter the EA to create two tickets instead of 1 when partial take profit and trailing is used. I am just not sure which one is the most important for the next improvement: implementing the retracement trading trigger or this 2-ticket feature

DislikedMisterEd was last night a new record for open trades?
I had 8 trades open, after manually closing 2 in profit on Friday. So there would have been 10 open. Using V12 of the ea with "TradeDay" set for each pair per MisterEd's suggestion. .
I ended up manually closing all of them, because I had a nice gain and I was overleveraged. So be aware trades can open on 10 pairs at once!
There has been a reversal on all of them so manual intervention maybe worked this time (for a change.)

DislikedHi,
I vote for the 2-ticket feature next.
FXCM is the largest retail forex brokerage, claiming 100,000+ traders, but in all fairness I don't know how many on the forum are affected.
The retracement trading trigger is an important feature, too. Wish I was a better programmer so I could help, but I get lost in the code, despite its clarity and organization. You definitely don't want my help in that area. I'll keep testing the most promising risk/ exit scenarios and will summarize for everyone when I have enough data to be relevant.

DislikedMr. Ed,
I understand that you don't want to introduce any other indicators in your trading system. However, I would like to ask and see if you have explore the option of using the Tilson T3 indicator to filter out potentially unprofitable trades and a criterion for retrace trade entry.
Since the Tilson T3 is not a moving average but is more like a trend fitting curve, the Tilson T3 conditions go something like this:
- Long trade: body of the signal candle has to be above the Tilson T3 line
- Short trade: body of the signal candle has to be below...Ignored
DislikedHI Longbar
V13 seems to be working rather well.
I too request the 2 ticket version as I would like to have a stable version to go live in September. I am with FXCM as they are based in london thus the new FIFO rule does not apply.
But either way we will all be happy in the long run as again thanks to you and Mr Ed for such a good system, which is so greatly enhanced with this EA.

Dislikedhi,
Great work on this EA. I can tell that you have put time into it.
I have back-tested it from 4/1/09 to 08/08/09 and the equity curve is declining from the initial balance. This is on v12.
I am testing this on IBFX with the EURUSD on a 4 hour timeframe. I didn't change any of the settings except for the last. I tried that as true/false on two different runs. Still not profibable.
Any tips?
Again, thanks for your work.
Cheers,

Dislikedi join in the chorus of thanks to Mr. Ed and Longbar for their generosity and hard work!
with no EA experience, i'm at a loss for trying to get "MisterED_v0.13.0" to take auto-trades. I have it loaded and displaying ok on FXDD - MetaTrader; Demo Account; H4; "Expert Advisor" button checked; Tools/Options/Expert Advisors "Allow live trading" button checked; live in Virginia EST; EA "server time" is EST +7; EA properties: 00:00 04:00 08:00 12:00 16:00 20:00; and only indicator is "ATR(20) vs CandleLength." ???
Thanks in advance for whoever...Ignored
DislikedHi Lufkindog,
Another possible "fix" is to simply close them manually when they are in profit and appear to have stalled or reversed. Preserve your capital to trade another day. But then it becomes less mechanical again.

Dislikedmt2414,
I believe the EA requires the Heikin Ashi Smoothed indicator to be on the chart before it will trigger trades.
Go to post #1, download the Heikin Ashi Smoothed mq4 file, load it in your MT4 ...ExpertsIndicators folder, then restart MT4. It will automatically compile the mq4 to an ex4 and it should show in your Custom Indicators list. Drag it to your chart.

Note that the changes for the ExitMethod=1 are not complete. Order gets submitted correctly with this method but will start the trailing of SL too early at the moment. I am not sure if anyone actually uses this method at all - any feedback appreciated on this.
Feel free to report issues
