Steve,

I assume your program only keeps trying to hedge the trades if the DD is > 5% ?
Yep.

Hey Steve & Scooby

Great work so far !

Running multiple demos on the latest 24 HR version

Getting the following alert on only some of them:

New candle - Waiting for all new candles to form

Doesn't go away - even after a few candles have closed

Not sure how to proceed ?

Many thanks

That should be the suffix of IBFX in their currencies.
Put "m" in the suffix field in the settings and it should work then...
Thanks for the fix.... to all of you.
Over confidence can be a moral hazard.... not to mention a financial one!

That's the endless loop bug scoobs was expecting. He will be reaching for the smug pic even as I type.

Can you pop this onto the offending demos and see if it cures the fault.

Steve,

Re V24H v1.8/v1.9 etc

Should all the GlobalVariableDeletes in

//Look for a short basket. Lower tf has to cross back above oversold to trigger the basket

(2 instances) all be referenced to OversoldGv. or have I gone dizzy??

Steve,

I also had hatter's error message on an Alpari demo, so removed v1.8, and changed to v1.9 (the one you just posted). Since the new 15 min candle, shows same error message.

Did you delete the indicator from all the charts it was on and then delete it from the folder and then re install it in the folder and close metatrader and start metatrader back up and then put the indicator back on the charts. The reason you are having problems is probably a mismatch, because I think he used the same name with different inputs on the two different indicators.

Hi Steve

Many thanks for your quick reply

I will be happy to put version 1.9 on and see if it solves the problem - will report later

However, I did find another solution

Using the fumble-bumble approach, I saw that the demos that were stuck in this loop had an extra global variable on their list when compared to the good demos

It was called:

Scooby 24HR - overbought oversold

So, naturally - I deleted it !

2 seconds later - everything starts working fine

Worked on the other bad demos as well

Everything running smooth now

Perhaps this info will help in the debugging ?

On another note:

I see from your previous post - that the exit of a trade works in a combination of TP and Indi - White Line on the right side of 50

Perhaps - an extra option could be added that would get you out on just the TP

Take your profit an run is the way to go - just my opinion

Trying to squueze out some extra pips after hitting the TP while risking a 10% - 20% DD doesn't seem to be a conservative strategy

Just an idea

Keep up the great work

Remove the >50 <50 and just close when TP hit.

Well I spoke too soon - sort of

A couple of my demos got stuck in this loop again

Just as I was about to delete the offending global variable - they all reset themselves !

Everything running smooth for the moment

This time in the loop - around 5 mins

First time in the loop was much longer - around 30 mins

Test - test - test

Thanks

To me, it is very interesting how the aggregate of the JPY pairs respects the areas of Supply and Demand.

This is where the institutional orders would be. I had a good friend a few years back that worked for Citi and then RBS. He would always say it is all about where the order flow is. Now I think I am beginning to see what he meant. It is a nice confirmation of the direction and turning points.

I don't know why I didn't look at this sooner. Oh well, you don't see something tell you look for it. Now I see it everywhere on this group and I see it consistently at certain times.

Should be the reason... on my FXDD it's working fine and not crashing anything.
Maybe I should start with version numbers...

If you look at the Yellow circled areas, you can pretty clearly see where large orders were, as the price was not able to maintain balance and shot out of the gate, so to speak. Only on the largest move of Nov 19, was it over shadowed.

This is even more interesting to me than the EAs them selves, this is big stuff.

It was probably a mistake declaring LastTime[] as a static double within the function. I have moved this to the general declarations section and set up the array within init(), so it contains values when the function is called for the first time.

We shall see if this deals with the problem. I am fairly sure it is nothing to do with the globals.

Also removed the white line from the tp calculations.
