changed lot size and trades went thru. LOL on my demo balance is $400 + change and the lot sizes are .1, so lets see if it blows the a/c in record time or not.

I dont know how but 5 trades closed at loss (margin was not there when it went to DD), but rest of them I closed manually at a profit as I didnt want it to escape. Ultimately my balance is now above $500.
The a/c was at 100:1 leverage, balance $400 + change and lots 0.1 and it's Friday with real big moves.
Will know the reality next week.

I think this EA has potential to be the simplest and the best, but as I mentioned previously, TIME WILL TELL.

FWIW - I get the same error on my Windows 7 machine and have to download from the right corner paper clip attachment file.

On my Win XP boxes I have no problems downloading directly from the front page.

I'm going to throw it on silver as well- beautiful trend the past few days- and there are other EA's that work well silver as well...

What's the deal with the error message: robot has been suspended. you need to change the magic number input.

It doesn't seem to like any number that I input. Default won't work either. Any ideas?

thx

Hi Steve

Any way to be able to adjust the MTF MA indicator so that it can be used to back test over a longer time period. When I add it to my charts it will only start showing from about 16 Nov onwards.

I also agree about using the SMA5 for SL etc. Nice and simple.

All the best

Change it to 7234345 It won't work on the default- and the 12345 message is from one of his other programs



if (MagicNumber == 34567)
{
MessageBox("You cannot run this robot until changed the MagicNumber input from the default of 12345." + NL
+ "Please reload the robot with a new MagicNumber input.");
Comment(" This robot can do nothing. Please reload it");
DisabledMessage = "You need to change the MagicNumber input";
RobotDisabled = true;

Now I get the error: Robot is suspended. You need to make the magic number input 5 digits long - more is better.

That's with the 7234345.

thx,
todd

For those getting these files names, simple rename the .PHP file to the respective name of download.

Including .mq4 or .ex4

Renaming them will let windows recognize.

Sorry about the magic number mixup folks. I did indeed forget to change the display when I did the copy/paste from one of the other robots.

Once the robot is suspended, it stays that way; merely altering the magic number is insufficient to start it again. You have to drag a fresh instance of the bot onto the chart, altering the mn in the inputs window.

The fact that this has arisen indicates that some people are using this on a live account. I thought I made it clear in post 1 that this is not to be done yet; to do so at such an early stage is a clear mistake.

This robot is for demo use only at the mo.

I'm getting that old error about the symbol for marketinfo needing to be text. That doesn't interfere with trades right?

Thanks!
Right. It appears to happen when you change timeframes with the robot loaded. No idea why. Change tf and reload the bot appears to stop this happening.
