I have tried your suggested files with no success.
There were plenty of opportunities for the EA to take trades as the 4D version certainly did.
I have the following installed:-
4h bb 5d.tpl (9/11/09) .............................. in templates folder
4H BB EA 5D.ex4 (9/2/09)......................... in experts folder
4H BB EA 5D (9/2/09) ............................... in experts folder
CloseAll.ex4 (9/11/09) .............................. in scripts folder
CloseAll (9/11/09) .................................... in scripts folder
MACD True ex4 (9/11/09) .......................... in indicators folder
MACD True (9/11/09) ................................ in indicators folder
Support & Resistance ex4 (9/11/09) ............ in indicators folder
Support & Resistance (9/11/09) .................. in indicators folder

The broker is Axis ODL, their min lot size is 0.1
As I have a live account there I wanted to try it out on their demo first to see how it goes and then go live, but I cannot get the EA to trade.

Do you have any other suggestions that I could try. I am fresh out of ideas???

Thanks

Pipbear, some brokers have 5 digits for real accounts and 4 digits for demo acounts or just the opposite.

Hello,

After a long while I'm pleased to release the first version of my rework
of 40_MA_200_BB system. As far as I understood, that code was written by many people, it was hard to understand and to maintain. The name is
simple: Bollinger Bands flexible, that, because of the new abilities in it.
I can say that writing the new code was a real challenge, especially the multilevel part.
I'm better at software development than at trading, so, please post profitable settings for relevant pairs.
Attachements contain the EA and a list of new EA abilities (rtf file).

You are welcome to send private mails, I promise that I'll answer them.
I'll be glad to get your opinion on my work!

Once profitable settings are found, I''ll add UI which will display the most
important data about the current EA state.

good work and thanks. That orginal EA was meant for Sto trading and has been adjusted many times. It also had a lot of features I never used. Good luck testing it.

I downloaded a copy and took off the TP and SL and set them at 0, it began entering trades. I am using the 5D version. You would then have to manually add the TP and SL. PIC below.

Bob, thank you very much for your efforts.
You are right, setting the TP & SL to ZERO the EA works fine.
Will it be possible to refine the EA in the future to take care of the SL & TP automatically, seeing it works fine on the 4D version. Or is it a function of the broker that procludes you from doing this.
It sure is quite a bit of work to do that on 15+ charts everytime a trade is taken.
Thanks again

I think someone has done a version of the EA that does that with these type of brokers. You will need to go through the thread to see where it is. Check the paperclip in the upper right hand corner of this page to help you find it.

Has anyone backtested the 4H BB version. from Jan 2008 it produces nothing but losses. I have read that Bob says backtesting is unreliable, but surely SOME gains would be shown?

Any ideas?

Yes backtesting is inaccurate and unreliable, the farther back in time you go with a backtest the more inaccurate they are. Just ask anyone who has bought an EA that showed big profits on a backtest but lost money in real life. The farther back in time you go with a back test the higher the time frame the tester uses to do the test. So with the 3 years you are using it is probably using a 1 week or 1 month chart for its data which means it will miss thousands of trades, profits etc. The MT4 backtester is only good for any kind of accuracy of about 2 weeks. after that it wont use the 1 or 5 M charts but goes to the 15M charts. Now you stand a chance of it missing trades. How do I know these things? I have live tested and backtested the same EA over a 1 month period and the results were dramtically different. The longer the time period the more inaccurate it becomes. Besides the 40MA BB you close the profits manually and you cant back test that. Got it. GOOD.

Yesterday my FF went very small fonts and pics for the entire web page. No other window in my browser does this so I am assuming it must come from FF. Is there an adjustment to get the entire page to its normal size? I have good eyesight but this is even difficult for me to read much less see the pictures. ????????????????

Bob, I think the zoom level in your FF went low somehow. To reset it, in the menu bar, click on "View" > "Zoom" > "Reset". Or press Ctrl key and zero.

With the 100:1 change in leverage. For now I have made this change and will go very conservative in my trading. I changed the 60x90 to a 60x60 and put them all on a 1H chart. I changed the multiplication from 3 to 2 and am only going to use 7 safe currencies for now. Aud/Cad, Aud/Nzd, Chf/Jpy, Eur/Chf, Eur/Usd, Usd/Chf and Usd/Jpy. This gives me a balance of 2 AUD, 1 CAD, 1 NZD, 3 CHF, 3 JPY, 2 EUR, 3 USD. I just feel the GPB are just to volatile and the eur/gbp eats up too much margin even though it would fit this system. I have doubled the size of my account and decreased my lot size by 1/3. My account increased 1% during the first 3 days of the week so I will let you know how it goes. I will use my 4H trading system for the more volatile currencies and this system for the less volatile ones. I just want to get the hang of trading at a 100:1 leverage for a while. Still trying to keep my money in my pocket and not the brokers. This means I have set aside my 180x100 for now. I still believe the 40MA BB is a good alternative but in demo testing the last two months I made more profit with the 60x60 over the 40MA BB. The main reason is I can go with bigger lots and have more trades with the 60 x60 because I dont have to leave as much in reserve for DD over the 40MA BB. If you trade with a large account and use small lots this would not make a difference for you in the lot size dept.
