The reason I had an interest in the 24hr one was that there was more of a chance of actual trading taking place.

This might be true...but considering the initial methodology of why this bot was set up in the first one I think the "proper" version still has the best profit making potential.

I reckon define variables outside Buy trade if() function - like;

RefreshRates();
double TradePrice; // scalpz
double Stop; // scalpz
double Take; // scalpz
// Buy trade
if (type == 0)
{
TradePrice=ask; // scalpz
Stop = NormalizeDouble(ask - sl,digits); // scalpz
Take = NormalizeDouble(ask + tp,digits); // scalpz
}//if (type == 0)
This didnt make a bit of difference. But then I spose you knew that.

Added some more print() lines just before "//Non ECN crook" & have been forcing little sell trades by amending SellHourStarts & lower RS levels (..TfOverSold).
Only got as far as seeing that just before the Sell is sent, Lot=0 and strongest=0
& then the brain hurts when trying to figure the logic for the GetStrongestPriceInBasket().

Apart from the last set of trades which I should never of entered. I changed the thresholds to 70/30 and allowed it to trade after 4.00pm GMT.

But i was just experimenting but it meant that i missed 2 trade setups.

Lesson is, if something is working.....leave it alone!!!!!

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but if you lose connection to your broker, does your EA stop at the current line it is running or does it return to init() or once connection is restored does it go back to init() or carry on from where it stopped ?

Cheers

Results from this week's testing using both ea's at the same time, and me doing manual testing all in all they did a good job.
Wonder if we can still trade the ea's in the same manner or if things need to be changed regarding all the news articles about BOJ?
I will continue testing both ea's on same account next week and see how it goes. I like the idea of having an ea such as the 24hr one that trades more often and one such as the proper one that trades less often.
Speaking of portfolio wonder if there might be a combo of ea's that can be used let's say on an account of $5000.00. One ea to catch a ranging market and one ea to capture the trending market and not sure if there is an ea that captures the market when it moves sideways?
Have a great weekend to all.

Returns to init(). Everytime you reconnect the ea/indis reload completely.

I have been testing versions 1.6, 2.3, 2.4, 3.3 and now I see Original v1.4 - would this be the latest version?

I have also tested 24H versions 1, 2.5, and 3.3 - but now it looks like v3.1 is the latest?

I have read through the thread but am still confused...

I think the v3.3 you refer to is only in the first series of the ea, also refered to in the thread as the proper ea. It was the last 1 before Steve changed the naming to the Original ea & restarted the ver count.
The Original ea is at v1.4
The 24H ea is at v3.1

Hey Steve,

any last minute bug fixes on the horizon? I want to setup the original bot on demo but if there's an upload coming, I would rather wait.

It will not receive any more ticks, meaning it the start() function won't be called anymore. It will continue the current execution of the start() function (the tick it is just processing, the last tick it received before the connection broke) until it reaches it's end, but of course calls to trading functions (OrderSend(), OrderModify(), etc.) will produce an error if the connection is already lost before start() ends. You must catch and handle such errors gracefully.

init() won't be called upon reconnection. init() will only be called if you manually remove and reattach the EA, recompile it, change timeframe or shut down and restart the terminal.

If the connection to the broker breaks and comes back after some time then all that will happen is that the start() function won't be called during this period since you dont receive any ticks. After reconnection it will start calling start() again for every incoming tick as if nothing had happened.

Nope. Load up.

The hedging stuff doesn't work properly but I haven't the inclination to sort it out right now. Sometime this week for definite - 'twill be something small that needs correcting.
