Hey Maxou888,


BTW I'm running Win7 64bit 8GB Ram - I think an instance MT4 memory maxes out at close to 2GB.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I run on Vista 64bit with 12Gb memory. 5 Mt4 accounts on the same comptuter. No problem. Mt4 start complain if it it is more than 1.2 Gb, so i close and restart.

by the way, because you speak about computers, this is my trading room, with the 5 x 32" monitors. Each are 2500 x 1600 pix.

hi great coders,

could you add a "standby" user setting in all your EAs to stop trading when the market is too flat ?

ie can-trade= yes/no with comment on windows (hand stop or red cross).

it's quite useless if we trade with MTF but user friendly when only use TF0. MT4 builtin common tab don't have it.

Quick question is it possible to stop Maxou88's basket robot 508 to stop taking trades but to just monitor the open ones - I like to try to close all my positions on Fridays and would like to turn the new trade orders off

Help appreciated.

paul

Sorry to be a pain - but is the above possible ??

That set up would be mega for multi tabling poker as well

Hey Maxou888,

Thanks for sending out all these updates - my demo 5K account running 509 was up %2.5 yesterday! - nice work.

One thing - I have noticed the EA is somewhat memory hungry and can only load a maximum of 3 charts (GBPJPY/USDCHF/EURUSD is what made the equity yesterday)

Have looking at any memory optimizations yet ? if yes, and i have only 3 charts to play with what would you recommend ?

BTW I'm running Win7 64bit 8GB Ram - I think an instance MT4 memory maxes out at close to 2GB.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

My Maxou Basket installation with 5 charts is using 63 MB under Ubuntu.
I think you should have plenty of space on your 8 GB Windows machine, exept you running some other memory hungry appplications.

Sorry that I wasn't clear. I was hoping for open/close times for all the transactions in your history file with this EA. You could save a report and attach it to your post.
Hey Zoogle,

See attached CSV. Let me know if this is not what you need.

I'll be interested in what your analysis reveals.

Not true.

Normally they will intervene at open and close, however it depends on their monetary policy orders from above if/when/size of the intervention.

Just because they dont intervene at 00:00am GMT does mean they wont at 01:00am, 02:00am, 03:00am etc.

There is an emergency type meeting going on today and tomorrow regarding the YEN. This is the main reason why the Yen remained weak overnight and today.

The long term trend for JPY is pointing towards down. This signals potential trend reversals across its pairings.

Also, one of its biggest...
Hi Steve,

Reading this from the cartoon character, I assume means that closing a position after a fixed time interval may not work that well.

I am thinking of a partial close in loss routine, so the further south your position goes, the smaller the lot size remaining.

Anybody with other/better ideas, please shout.

anyone else is a bit of DD from Max's bot?

ALso, Max, when we upload another version of your EA after an update, do we ned to close earlier positions or will the EA simply know that old positions from a previous version are open?

2K USD DD max today. Now at 800. 19w 3l since Frankfort open.

What lot sizes are you using? What version?

I have a feeling my high DD is due to placing the different versions of the same bot at different times without closing out the odl trades
