I have added a RefreshRates() and some slippage to the closing function. See if this does the trick.

Sorry Steve still having the same problem.
Alpari UK is the criminal involved.

Have also checked after restart etc and no change.

No idea what the problem is. Don't much care either. All coded out and have lost interest. Sick of fighting mt4.

Generally pissed off is the point I am making here. For now, rely on the robot to take the trades then manage them manually. 'Tis a daily system, so intervention is only required once a day.

Looks like the problems may have been caused by my local machine somehow. I have now moved the robot onto a different machine with a clean MT4 install and the problems seem to have disappeared.

No idea why ...

Appreciate all you doing Steve

I have added some code to make the robot spot when an attempt to move the stop to breakeven has failed, and to keep on trying at each subsequent tick.

Can anyone confirm good results they're having with this robot? I'm thinking of going live with this one as everything seems to be trending just now.
I dont require the figures of course! Just a simple yes or no will suffice.
I have SR levels at my fingertips. When I buy it becomes resistance and vice versa. A mouse click and new SR is formed.

You need to demo test on multiple pairs before even thinking about going live, as I have been unable to get it working properly. I get an OrderClose function error.

As already notified in my post #168 - you must be very very very patient ! I have only a few trades opened - very often signals for possible trades are deleted - not all conditions for trade opening are probably fulfilled - so the EA doesn't open them ! But if you have positons openend - they may go a long time - you have to wait days and weeks - it is really hard to test this EA forward - results can be collected only in a period of some months. But so far it seems to work well !

I have gone live with this robot. It has opened 1 EJ buy which is in profit and right now half position sold off and the other half at BE+.
And yes it is penny a/c but the feed is live and it's money.

It is safe to go live with this robot. Its trade-sending functionality mirrors that of Ash's manual system as closely as it is possible for a robot to get. Few trades get through the rigorous filtering process, so users are never going to get into account-blowing territory so long as they use sense with their lot sizing.

The trade part-close does not always work properly, but that is not a problem so long as users are aware of it. The strategy is a once-a-day thingy; so long as users check once a day and do manually anything the robot has failed to do.

hi,

happy new year!

a few weeks ago i started demo'ing again with this bot after trying it a while ago.

i was having problems setting the candle length and wick filters settings correctly it seemed as i could not get it to take any trades out of many in a week. i disabled the feature by setting it to "0" per the user guide and it started trading. its done well in the short time but, i would like to know how to set this feature to work correctly.

could someone who has this feature working decent recommend their settings for me to try?

thanks
