"2nd stage crook"

Doesn't fully understand this - what does true or false mean for the EA parameter "CriminalsECN" ? How do we have to set it right ?
Some brokers are not allowing to send trade with SL and TP in one step. In first step you have to send trade and in second step modify SL and TP of this trade. And for this type of brokers you have to set CriminalIsECN to true.

Yep. The most stupid idea I have ever seen.

So, the robot is trading Ash's system as closely as I can come for now. I am going to resist the urge to add more 'improvements' because I know: 1) how hard these can make a robot to understand; 2) how far from the original, successful, trading system these can move the robot.

If you want further management enhancements, you will find much of what you want included with mptm.

Yes, you are right. This trade management can be partly done by mptm.
I want only start discussion about future improvements like trade management, candle length, direction of the wick and so on.

Hi maya007 - the same here no trade for aud_cad although the dashboard is showing a clear AshFx signal ?! But the robot opened here for me a trade for the gbp_jpy signal - its mowing on now - lets the further development. No trades for aud_nzd and sgd_jpy. They have been deleted. But i can't see any description in the window why it was deleted ? I remeber Steve posted here we could see something like this in the window now using the new, last version of his robot ?

I got a couple of those too. Mind, they were blown out of the water by about a gazillion claims that the robot was trying to close half of a NZ trade of some sort. There hasn't been a NZ trade that I can find.

Some fine-tuning to be done, still. I will get onto it tomorrow, if I haven't lost the will to live.

Hello again Steve and All!

After posting last time I decided to just open another account for sole purpose of the EA's testing.

When running it on 12 pair (per your advice Steve) it did put in a trade today!

Curious if anybody else's put them short GBPJPY 10/29 00:00 ?

Just wanting to see if I got them on track?

So far lookin good though @ +50 pips....we'll see!

Thanks again Steve!

Do you mean 10/28? I hadn't configured the EA on GJ at that time. If you do mean 10/29, I don't see how that trade would be executed per Ash's system.

Ok guys you both are right - this GBP/JPY signal arose midnight 00:00 - from 10/28 to 10/29 - for me here the EA took this trade as the only one of all possible signals

The trading logic of the robot appears to be holding up ok.

A few other bugs have cropped up with regard to display and trade management. These are fixed in the latest version uploaded to post 1; this is an essential re-download. One of them caused the robot to identify a trade closed in profit and showing in the History tab, as an open trade; it would keep on trying to close half the position endlessly. Persistent thingies, robots.

Those blank trade-cancelled alerts were due to me forgetting to add the display code when the trade was cancelled because the trigger candle was too long. I have corrected this as well.

Nearly there. Shouldn't be too long before we can declare the robot bug-free.

Great job, steve, but question (to all)--if I shut down metatrader and replace the older EA with the new one, will it automatically put the new code into effect? Or will I (as i suspect) have to restart the EA on all charts?

Thanks again steve, great job.

I imagine those running the robot should have entered positions on some pairs last night. Unfortunately, my cat unplugged my power cord and my laptop died so I missed the boat. Looks like EUR/USD, USD/CHF, USD/CAD were good possibilities.

If you replace any piece of code the platform automatically loads the new code when it restarts. It can't do anything else - the old code has gone and only the new is left.

Mt4 stores the state of indis, scripts and ea's so it can reload them next time with the same settings. It does not incorporate the actual code within itself, so whatever it finds on startup is what it works with.

If the trading conditions were correct then the robot took the positions. If not, it didn't.

Hello again all,

Sorry it took a second to get back, but I just wanted to post this up.

The position on GBPJPY it put in...still dont know whether to say its /28 or /29..lol sry
(I guess thats the pain of telling time @ 00:00)

Not looking for anything in particular in this post (advice, setups, etc.)..unless ya'll want?

Just wanted to keep posted whats going on for testing purposes. Hope it helps!

(And thank you for the confirmation Mandl2007)

Came back a little later tonight to find it cut it...

Hoping everything looks right otherwise so far?

Did your position get cut as well around the same level Mandl2007?

(BTW: Says it was opened on the 29th.. lol! )

Hi Mrezoot ! My gbp/jpy is in ? Hmmm ... No exit here for me - a bit strange result ? But its hard to me to say why - I changed the robot (newer version from 10/29) some hours ago - cant show the old setup now. Hard to compare our different results. My broker is Alpari (UK). Lets forward analyzing some further more trades during the next week.
