Is anybody working with 20EMA-200EMA on VPS-virtual private server?

I haven issue with economic news indicator, it doesn't work (mt4 doesn't use it). I suppose because all VPS are set up for some restricted connection to the internet and economic new indicator can not go to the internet and read a news. How to set up VPS for this issue, please?
Please keep your VPS problems out of this thread.

If you get a data feed in your MT4 then i assume there is no restriction.
Can you open a browser on your VPS and surf the Internet ? If yes then there is no restrictions, else ask somewhere else.

PS: in the last couple days new members posting a lot of VPS problems. This is not the correct thread for such problems.

I also see members be too lazy to read/search the thread. Asking for TF and settings of EA's which have been posted few posts/pages earlier.......

Mine was doing the same, try v508L, have both the Stock-RSI-Osc indicator and KG RS Group indicators loaded on each of the 5 charts.

It goes against my all-inclusive principles to do so, but it is clearly necessary to keep this thread uncluttered by idiotically basic questions.

Call it enlightened self-interest. Whom would I rather keep on board here? The ranks of the lazy and incompetent or you? And the rest of the stunning contributors who have offered so much? Hmmmmmmm. Tough call

Ah well. Such is life. One has ones crosses to bear.

Did not think indictors needed to be loaded for EA to work. Done it anyway.. lets see!

Indi's never need to be loaded onto a chart for a robot to work. Their presence or absence is irrelevant.

Attached. Yours wasn't scuppered by the zero divide thingy, was it? This stops the robot running without giving any obvious signal that this has happened.


Haha no I fixed that in code remember... but the RSI Stoch indicator wants to reload on every tick (uninit reason 1)... I recently deleted my history/log folder in the mt4 directory because it was taking up too much memory (folders were up to 50 gigs) and it loaded them upon startup because the EA was running on the symbols with the downloaded history.

I guess Mt4 loads the entire history of any symbol that was open prior to closing Metatrader.

Its probably no history thats the problem and why its not taking any trades.

Several ice ages ago, in terms of this thread, someone posted this really useful utility. You can tell it to leave the current logs in place.

Steve,

Pretty good results... using normal mode of Max's but which Scoob EA's are you running there?

Doing some tinkering with the TCF I find that if I check the 200 ema and 20ema of H1/H4/D1 before taking trades I get pretty good entries.... with trailing stops can get some major pips... infact as is through 2007 today through the recession I only get up to $1100 drawdown on a 10k account. I know ST sucks but gives an idea anyways that you're entries are good across changing markets.

Max's EA is like TCF on steriods where you enter on the RSI outside the BB... so I would guess the entries would almost be the same. I do not think we would want hedging in this case since scaling in will do the job for us if our entries are good over along period of time. Scaling in every 100 pips seems to be good... I haven't found a period of time where scaling in will cause a very high DD... but hedging could easily if there is whipsaw.

Martingale should be forgotten altogether... it seems liike we have yet to see these two features (Mart/Hedging) in action and it's good we haven't. My demo account kinda blew up using them on an older version of MAX'S EA. However cross referencing the TCF entries with this EA and scaling in would generate some decent pips on a regular basis. We need to figure out a fire exit so that if we do get on the start of the wrong trend without retracement we can get out without any major bruises (15% drawdown or something cutoff).

Scoobs,
Yen trader refuses to work on my live or demo a/c. Live I can understand as you have not given the key but demo?

I have a problem sometimes closing few orders. Didn't saw why. This afternoon I had to close manually EurNzd trades manually because I get this message during 30 minutes and nothing close.
With various pairs, but after 508k it became a flood. Market conditions triggering something, maybe? Also alerts on pairs not traded.

Best regards,


BTW Original BOJ Bot kicking butt, no matter if the market is sideways...amazing

Hi Jag,

not sure if you are aware of that options in MT4:
Tools/options/Charts: "Max bars in history" and "MAx bars in chart"

From my experience these values are used by MT4 and they are working properly. But of curse you can "overrule" these settings by some code in your EAs or scripts ...

CU,
MaMood
