Hi Steve, I noticed a bit of a problem with v2 and 1.6 well ever since the ffcal was added. My mt4 seems to give me a fatal error as soon as robot tries to open it and all i have is OK button, which when pressed closes my mt4. I am not sure why ffcal is crashing my platform? it only does it on my VPS which is 64bit windows server 2003 sp2. I have tried recompiling it but it did not help.

it seems to be only causing this problem on my live accounts ...

What is your MT4 build number that is running on your VPS?

Two trading sessions on two different brokers this morning
5 digit and 4 digit

M15 LTF with (News Off until I can check it out some more.)
All times GMT.

V1.8 Spikey Broker In @ 08h09 - Out @ 09h22 (73m) = 84 pips
V2 Smoothy Broker In @ 08h09 - Out @ 09h12 (63m) = 16 pips

interesting, in this mornings session, I got some trades doubled up on the U/J and G/J
but still looking into that.

All good stuff.

Built 225. Odd thing is I have a 2nd VPS with 3rd live account which i just used to test and it loads ffcal with out any issues ... Now i am really confused as all the platforms i use are FXDD and all use same version, the only thing i can think of is that i use two instances of mt4 by the same broker installed in differently named dirs on the vps#1 (having this problem).

The FFCal indicator has 2 parameters IsEA_Call and AllowWebUpdates. These are supposed to be true and false respectively if more than one instance of the indicator operates in the same MT4, but the EA sets them opposite. This could be your problem.

Same here. But I have News Filter on.

You know, this is a fantastic system and it is genius in its simplicity. It doesn't need to be over-complicated. Just needs a little fine tuning, which Steve is very generously taking care of when he has time.
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it

Cautious? Anyone know what is the risk to reward ratio is on this strategy. From looking at the trades taken after a few days, it looks like around 1:40 which I think is a very very poor ratio. If all 5 trades hit SL, you could be out by about 40% of your capital and there is nowhere you could ever recoup that loss with the current ratio. Am I correct?

Hey thanks for trying to help! I tried opening FFCAL with editor and changed AllowWebUpdates = false recompiled and it all works now, but as soon as I changed it to allow it crashes my mt4 I also tried shutting down the 2nd mt4 and it still crashes the moment I load it on any chart hmmm
I can post a log of the error...

Scooby, love the indicator. I am a manual trader I dont need the robot. I just enjoy hittin the buy sell buttons. Thanks again. great job! period. Steve great job! period. I dont need no stinkin robot to open and close "NO STINKIN TRADES" I do that myself base on technicals, and fundamentals. I love the indie and the robot, but REALLY love the indie. if I could I would make love to it every night during japan and london. oops getting carried away...

But really thanks. and I know you love the r8 ...just go ahead and buy one. you will build the account back up..

Guess no one will laughing if this thing hit just a matter of time. Just so that I did not warn you with all due respect. It is an interesting strategy just that we need to reduce our exposure and increase the tp should be simple fix but I am afraid it may change the frequency of trade though. I take this seriously and preservation of capital is key.

No I did not touch the EA itself nor did I change much in FFCAL just tried enabling and disabling webupdates as I just want it to stop giving me this fatal error.

It is just that some people can't resist seeing 'themselves' on screen ... people queue up in their 100's to be humiliated on TV - anything for 5 mins of 'stardom'. There is a technical term for it, but can't remember ... Twitter is a perfect example of typed diarrhea IMHO.
