Where I could find and download LFH Trading Sim 3?

I still use LFH Trading Sim 2.0, it is a great tool to manually test trading stategy.


Could anyone please tell me, how to use RenkoLiveChart_v3.2.mq4 EA on LFH Trading Sim?

I tried to attach RenkoLiveChart_v3.2 EA on LFH Trading Sim M1 chart but the M2 offline chart doesn't update.

Please if anyone know how to displaying Renko chart on LFH Trading Sim.

Can anyone tell me the name of ECN brokers that have renko charting. My ECN doesn't. My deal desk broker does but it 2 months old and not working very well.

Thanks

I tested RenkoLiveChart_v3.0 and commercial renko script and what i got is here.
As you can see there are some differences.
Maybe some experts can say which one is the correct renko scipt/ea and which one makes sometimes wrongs renkos?
Right now i'm not sure which one to use.

1.chart - 1 Minute chart
2.chart - RenkoLiveChart_v3.0 Boxsize 1 pip
3.chart - commercial renko Boxsize 1 pip
the bottom one certainly isn't

I've had problems with all of the renkolivecharts indicators.

Obvioulsy the

1st issue is that all the historical data is smoothed out but this is quite common.Ninjatrader doesn't keep tick data either so has the same issue.

The 2nd issue I have had is that after running the indicator and then deleting it. When I go to run it again. The chart doesn't update anymore with the real time data.

I can't do a backtest with any EA in the renko chart. I used RenkoLiveChart_v3.2 and RenkoLiveChart_v2.1. Any suggestions?
Thanks

That dose not belong in the Renko EA. Use a separate indi. on your renko chart instead.

Like this one:
LastViking,

Thank you for the close alert indi. This is a useful indi.
I found that the alert did not have the currency pair mentioned in the alert(only the price).
This is a bit time consuming to check which pair it alerted when you have multiple pairs.

Most appreciate if you can code in the currency pair when alerted.

Thank you in advance.

Vincent

Though pairs can be identified from price esp jpy pairs
Its not easy to identify others sometimes.
This may help ..It should show the Pair name on whose chart its working.
Hope it helps

I wrote an dumy EA some time a goe that just printed a log file with bid ws Close[0] over a couple of hours. It turns out that thay are not always the same if I just uncheck the "offline chart" checkbox. Mening that the EA will sometimes (but not always...) get called before the chart gets updated.
(I got suspicious because my "soft stop loss" EA fired of at the wrong price, one point off, from time to time)

Maybe not a big issue, but since there is a fix posted in Lou's Trading Renko thread I thought that I can just as well make it official....
LastViking there seems to be a problem when applying EA's to the renko chart. I've read this entire thread and it seems a few ppl are also having problems with EA's.. I've tried unchecking "offline chart" in the properties window and sometimes it gets through a few more functions or maybe im just dreaming..

Ive added a Print(); statement into all of my functions to see where the EA gets hung up but im still not able to find the problem..

I was thinking it may be a problem when using Time[0] to check for next renko box before a new trade is allowed but im not positive thats the problem either..

I commented out case 5:
Inserted Code
    switch(RenkoTimeFrame) {
        case 1: /*case 5:*/ case 15: case 30: case 60: case 240:
        case 1440: case 10080: case 43200: case 0:
so that i can replace my 5m data with renko data and run my EA in the strategy tester, and it runs fine.. So that narrows it down to RenkoLiveChart_v3.2 causing the EA to hang on the offline chart..

Is there a possible bug or is there some function/statement that i can not use in my EA? i'm on a 24 hour day trying to figure this out, so any help is much appreciated!

Edit: also i was thinking maybe there is a problem with the symbols properties for the 2m offline chart.. i dont really know because i dont know much about the inner workings of that.. just a thought?¿?

You can try seting EmulateOnLineChart = false + unchecking "offline chart". It vill make v3.2 work like the older vesioins did. I can't really say that I think it vill make mush of a diference, but maybe worth a try.

(Also, if you do this you can't rely on Time[0] in your EA for cheking a for new bar. Because start() in your EA vill be executed before the renko chart is updated.)

Should work in v3.2 then EmulateOnLineChart = true and "offline chart" cheked, but not in the older vesions. (Please observ that Time[0] is the opening time of the bar, so it vill not change unless a new box is created.)

You can try StrangeSymboleName = true, but I doubt I vill help mush.

Sorry that I can't give you more help. But I really have no clue about what is going wrong. Hard to fix problems then I can't recrate them on my own computer.

Anyway, almost everyone that have hade truble with EA's have just forget about unchecking "offline chart" in pre. v3.2, alowing live trading (both on the M1 chart and the Renko chart) or DLL calls or something like that, but it dose not sound like thats what causing your problem.

You may have a conflict when using M5 on a live server. MT4 will try to update your online chart with M5 data when the chart is actually not M5. Try this:

I have a problem using trendmagic.

Renko1 is the moment when I put the indicator.

Renko2 shows what happens after 3 blocks.

The indicator walks on the chart and don't follow the market.

I have the same problem also using moving average and CCI.

What did I do wrong?

The problem is not in the backtester the problem is trading an EA on live feed..

But now this post brings up another question.. How can i get v3.2 to run as a script so i can get backtest-able data with the wicks.. it is very difficult to get v3.2 to create data that works in the backtester when its run as an EA..

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are asking. If you want to create new offline charts on the weekend when no ticks are coming in, the EA is a problem.

What I do is make sure that I have created any charts I will need on the weekend before the market closes on Friday.

You could also search this thread for a post containing a script that simulates an incoming tick. That should force v3.2 to create a chart. I'm not sure of the spelling of the name of the member who posted it but I'll look for it and get back to you.

The attached script (thanks to Hayseed) will simulate an incoming tick so you can create offline charts with v3.2 when the market is closed.

I hope this helps.
