Hi Wolfeman,

Thank you for your help. I downloaded off the first page because Steve is always so good to update. I can not make that PHP ext work for me. Off the attachment paper clip works for me. Thanks for all the help from everyone. We together can have a chance at this very difficult endiver.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Joet

Do you mean working on a M30 chart instead of the H4, and still using the M15 200 SMA?
I meant the pending trade lifetime/expiry period is now 30 mins instead of 4 hours.

It matters not a lot which chart you use. The robot consults the 4H to calculate the channel, and the 15M to get the 200SMA, regardless of which chart you use.

Not sure, but I think read somewhere that the minimum expiry time in EA's is 60 minutes... otherwise it gives an ordersend error 3.

Changed it to 60 here... will see how it goes.

Merry Christmas guys...

Cheers Uli.

For those non-coders here, post 1 now has a 60 min expiry time version.

That's me done until the New Year. Have a happy time, everyone.

At least, I thought that was my last before the New Year.

It looks as though ChannelHigh/Low are getting lost somewhere, hence the strange tp and sl figures. I have added a fresh call to GetSMA() to refresh them - let's see if this stops those blasted errors. Post 1 as usual.

Hi Steve

Hope your're well. I'm not a coder so cannot help with this but wanted you to know that the error 3 still appears.

Have a great Christmas and New Year.

Warm Regards,

Yep, me too. Hey ho. I will get this sorted eventually; it will be something tiny and daft that I have done.

I noticed that the instructions and the EA uses a "0" for the shift to get the SMA of the 4H bars.

This means that at the beginning of each 4H bar, the high & low equals the current price of course, and the channel will immediately collapse accordingly, and then as price evolution continues, it will widen.

It also means that the "visual backtesting" using the charts is not necessarily correct, as it will show apparent piercing of the channel boundaries, but this piercing is taking into account potentially future behavior "knowing" that the true high (or low) would be going substantially beyond.

And of course this will be nearly impossible to backtest properly.

Is this behavior intended?

If you put on SMA-2 with 4H with shift=1 then the visual looks much worse of course, but is clearly computable causally in an EA with the location of the channel independent of the current 4H bar.

I know I said I am doing no coding until Monday, but I decided to spend a few minutes addressing the invalid trade parameters issue.

The bug fixes appear to be working ok. Download the latest version from post 1.

Hi Steve,

Shag'emAll GBPCHF 5 order send failed with error(130): invalid stops Market=1.6496: Entry=1.6491: TP=1.6446: Sl=1.6518 Lots=1: CH=1.6496: CL=1.6441

This is the second one of these I've gotten today. I'm running the EA on Admiral Markets 4 digit crook. It is the only EA on this broker and it is your last updated version that I loaded today.

After the first send error(130), I changed lot size from .01 to 1.0 and got the second one. Sorry I'm not a coder so I can't give you any "good" info.

This EA will be a good one when you get it done...........whip

Hi Steve

Just downloaded the copy from post 1 again and reinstalled it on a clean GJ chart and it works well......2 trades taken.

I downloaded my first copy of the EA from the paper-clip after I read your notice of an update. I may have been to quick on the draw. Hopefully there isn't a difference in the copies.........whip

Steve I just noticed this thread out the corner of my eye, kinda eye catching . Couldn't help thinking it would be a great name for a band!

Good luck with it.
