How many versions do you have open at once? So far I've been able to keep the orders specific to the symbol and the EA that opened them, but no, I wasn't taking into account folks using multiple versions of the EA. Although I was trying to get it to separate orders with the "Test Tag" (it didn't quite work) and, I suppose I might be able to add the time frame to this as well. How far do you think this is necessary?

As for using it on both a 4 digit and 5 digit account, that requires that you have two separate accounts doesn't it? If so, then...
hi ectrade,

i use only dingdong new version t5, it happened like this sometimes other setting at different chart dingdong will try to modified others....

like classic setup ea trying to change dazz setup ea because only moving 8 SL and 3 TP.
( i'm pretty sure about this because i check at journal or expert.... example eur/us ea modified gpy/jpy. it crossing each other.

i believe it must be use magic number so that problem can be solved. it happened at 5 digit.

usually i use about 6-8 different dingdong setup at one mt4.

i try it dingdong at 4 and 5 digit, it is different broker mt4.

the time frame possible about 15 or 30 minute (both same heiken aishi and stochastic) to eliminate false signal than doing tick per tick or when it reverse....

because our SL is very small maybe 15, or we can choose 30 as optional.

Actually I already am using a magic number. In fact I just checked to make it was there, and it is. So no, I don't understand why this should happen? Will look into it later maybe if I have time.

Okay, I nevermind, I think I understand what's going on. When I set up the EA so it will only open orders according to the chart, I was thinking I didn't have to specify the order symbol when modifying and deleting orders. But, now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I do. Oh well ...

I'm going to change that real quick, and upload the latest version with the current mods shortly.

And now, for the latest and the greatest ...

Slippage Adjust

Like I said above, I was going to modify the "Slippage Adjust" feature so it works only with the current Symbols on the chart, which I did. Of course I haven't had a chance to test it but, I someone who won't mind.

4 Digit to 5 Digit Conversion

I also realized I left out some necessary 4 digit to 5 digit broker conversions in certain parts of the code, more specifically the "Close Early" feature. This is why it kept acting crazy and closing (much) earlier than it was supposed to. Let's just say I haven't noticed it acting up since I changed it.

Order Time Out Feature

I also added an "Order Time Out" feature where, after 2 minutes it closes the order at above 2 points over the order open price. Then, 2 minutes later, it closes the order at or above the break even point. Then, 2 minutes after that, it closes the order at or above the 2 points below the break even point (or order open price). This goes as far down as 6 points below and 10 minutes out.

Time Out and Symbol Display

If you look at the upper right hand of the chart at the status display, there's a number that displays the time in seconds (divide by 60 to get the minutes) and a slash and a target time which, updates every two minutes. At which point it either modifies the order or, closes it immediately, depending on the current price. The chart symbol is also displayed next to this.

Time Out after Close

I was also thinking about adding another time out feature (am working on it right now), where after you close out early and take a loss, it waits so many minutes (2-6) before it opens the next order. But, it was starting to get involved and, I'm getting tired so, I guess it can wait.

Enable / Disable Feature

Currently I have it set up so the time out feature is enabled on all the options except for Classic options. However, you can enable or disable it in any or all options (right below Slippage Adjust enable).

Set as Default Extension

Okay, since the Set as Default feature was so "popular" with indicators, I thought it would be great to have it set it up for Dazz options as well. All you need is to select which option you want, including which indicator, and select "1" (or any number greater than that), click "OK," and you're good to go!

Have fun!

Oh, these are the same two indicators listed before. I haven't modified them ... just yet.

ETA: Added slight modification to Time Out feature values. Also fixed problem with status display (below), plus added Take Profit value next to Time Out display.

Oh well, wouldn't you know? I did all my testing when working on these features in Dazz "Classic" mode, and of course, everything was acting just fine. But, now that I've switched it over to Dazz Option 1, it's acting kind of flaky with the status display. It didn't come up right away and, when it did, after messing around with it (which I shouldn't have to do), the Time Out feature wasn't working. But, after the indicator signaled a reverse, it started working properly ... but, now it's acting flaky again? Guess I'll have to look into it later.

Anyway, if you want check out some of the things I've done here, you might want to try it with Dazz "Classic" mode. At least I know it was working at the time.

Hey, what's with the Euro right now? It's going nuts!

hi ectrade, juannie.

this is great there is new revision hope it is getting close
let me test it then....

ok i hope the new version, it fix, it does not closing and modified other symbol again...

about magic number, is it possible can do like this to make it different to solve the problem closing and modified each other, right now it use same number when we use dingdong ea with different chart currency.
because it takes times to know after there is a lot of combination setup and waiting order at the same time in the terminal untill that will happened or not to closing and modified other symbol...

euro us, t6 : magic number =4000
gbp/jpy, t6 : magic number =4001
us/jpy, t6 :magic number=4002

hi ectrade.

well, look like everything working fine with the SL and TP and no modifying crosing order from each chart.

there is unknow ticket forordermodifyfunction with the red triangle, because the order already close when order time out is enable.

with order time out must be reduce 2 pips every 2 minutes when the floating position is at loss, but sometimes it reduces TP by 5 pips... .> maybe it happened because spread.

i think right now it is working properly with slippage and close early with classic and dazz.

i notice with the dazz : even it hit SL two times with order time out disable... it is still open order for the third times and fourth times... it is like like looping : lose, win, lose,lose, lose, lose, one is still floating.... all losing 60 pips and winning 7 pips.
when it hit SL, it is open again after it up 3 pips.

> i think for safety must have how many total pips allowed will lose in one day after we count winning pips-lossing pips.

until now i did not notice that is really bug actually,
except that dingdong keep lossing when there is no trend or because losing spread when order time out working, it will close losing because reduce TP and when it open order again we lose spread... and it happened like circle... keep losing.

can order time out gradually moving TP up, instead go down 2 pips to follow the trend?

actually, look like order time out will give dingdong no time to do trading when there is no trend.

i notice it, it goes down and never go up or maybe MOve SL to TP when TP it reached?
how do you think the time out will work with reset and preset....

the time out after it close is great idea maybe it can help a lot to calm down first when it losing... when it is winning it,maybe no need because there is trend that follow the open position.
but you know which one is the best ectrade.

Are you saying this (closing across charts) is still happening, or what? Basically all I need to do is specify the symbol that the chart is on when closing orders and that should take care of it ... not unless you intend to do something more specific than close the actual symbols.

Yes, I hope we got that fixed.

Yes, I think I need to specify one or the other here. This may in fact be what's making it "buggy." The close early function is mainly for closing out after the indicator signals a trend reversal. So, at this point maybe I should disable the time out feature or, maybe disable the close early feature entirely, I'm not sure? You have to figure out how much of it is overkill, and then try to optimize. I think I'll start by disabling the time out feature when the trend reversal is signaled.

Yes, I noticed there was a bit of a problem and sometimes closes (too) early.

Quote

With the slippage adjust, yes ... and the close early feature, quite possibly. It's a big difference if the 4 to 5 digit broker conversion is not implemented properly.

I'm not sure what you're saying here? I just figure you have to learn to work with it, and figure out which works the best.

Quote

I'm not sure how this idea works or, what is the point to implementing it? Is that like gambling, where you set a limit for yourself and, once it is reached, you stop gambling for the day? I understand how that works, and I think it's a good idea, when gambling. But, that also implies you don't have a winning strategy or an edge. If that's the case, and it's strictly a matter of luck, we may just as well go to the casino.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I just have to understand why I'm trying to implement it.

Quote

Yeah, I was thinking of something like that or, possibly open a trade in the opposite direction. Either that or (like I said) set a time out before it opens a new order, to give it a chance to establish a direction.

Quote

Yeah, that was kind of the whole intent, that when the price is not going anywhere, or the market is slow, you can at least pick up a few pips here and there. But, then again, there's not much point if you can't control the losses.

Quote

Yes, it's at least worth a try.

Quote

Possibly, but how would you go about implementing it?

Ehm, my friend ecTrade, i have tested this latest Dazz, and i found out that Dazz still open a new position even after hit Stop Loss twice.
I think it goes over my strategy from the beginning.


Do you still remember that after this Ding_Dong hit Stop Loss twice, it must stop trade and wait (for the confirmation from Stoch and Heiken) before open a new position, either Buy or Sell.

I found out that with this newest Dazz, i even loss more than when i used Duo.
Strange, i think...

Maybe you could fix this so easily, because before the latest Dazz, Ding_Dong didn't do this mistake.

Are you talking about Dazz Classic (the original) or just Dazz? I did add the "Close Early" feature (or got it to work) and that might be affecting both. I think what I need to do is set it up so most of the "new" features are disabled, at least on Dazz Classic, yet still leave the option there to enable it. Otherwise there's no point behind doing this, which is to provide the ability to try different things.

As for the Dazz "Classic," that was completed two or three weeks ago, although I will still try to provide it here as a default, with the option to enable any of these new features as well ... to give you a chance to see if there's anything you would like to add or modify.

Oh, by the time I'm through, what I come up with (for myself), probably won't look very much like the original. But hey, that's okay, I'm just trying to explore some different ideas and come up with something that works.

Also, I might go off and write an EA that includes all the things that I think work best here. Or, I might just use this as a platform? Will just have to wait and see.

Okay, this is done.

I also believe I fixed the problem with the status display, where it was flaking out in Dazz mode. Somehow the code got changed (or lost) with all the current mods. It was easy enough to fix. I also added the Take Profit value next to the Time Out display values.

Oh, currently everything (without having to check every single item) appears to be working real good.

I really appreciate what you have done, friend.

But, hey, don't leave too soon...
Dazz still need some development before it fully ready to operate with real account.
I think some ideas from Tulipevierge were great, e.g:
1. Locked the profit (or we should just turn off Dazz and take our profits before turn it on again? hehehe!)
and so on.
Do you think that too, ecTrade?

Maybe you should try to implement it in Dazz...or Trio?

Anyway, this Dazz was still T (test) version, right?
So, this will not be the final Dazz...

Enjoy your Friday, friend!

Something tells me Dazz is going to be a "work in process" ... for quite awhile. But, I will try and release a "workable" version from time to time, I guess ...

But no, I will try and keep Dazz "Classic" basic, and still provide the ability to enable these different options.

Oh, and what do you mean by "t6" here?
hi ec, sorry not t6, i forgot....i mean next dingdong.
but i try it works fine until now there is no closing accros charts again with new version.

some my idea is just an idea, maybe some is not suitable for dingdong, it just an idea so we can gather together, but you're the one who select this too... i don't know how to implement... actually you have a lot of brilliant idea that implement to dingdong....

when the first time i put my post to this thread give an idea, i just hoping maybe some can work...

about idea to suspend after how many losses, i just thinking sometimes there is a day that we will gain too much pips, sometimes even losing, just to minimize that the bad day can not wipe it out, it is actually like a break day when it is losing, with the hope the next day is better, it is just hoping next day is more better.

but for all, that is awesome, everything working great now with all of the options

Sure, I don't see any reason why I can't do this. All I have to do is set it up so I can disable it (or enable it) if I decide not to use it. In fact all I have to do is set the initial (or default) values to "0" and, if you want to use it, you just enter a number.

Just give a cheerful smile to you, friends!
Because sometimes we need to enjoy our day, and stop thinking about this Dazz for a while...

Viva Dazz!

Okay, I thought you guys might want to see what I did with Dazz options 1 and 2. I set it up so it places two pending orders (one stop and one limit), instead of being "invisible" with just the numbers on the display to go by. It's exactly the same, except now you can see the "entry" points. Will probably do this with all Dazz options except for Dazz Classic, and do something similar with Dazz Plus.

That's all for now.

Thanks!

ETA: Made pending order mod to other Dazz options (except Classic) as well.

hi ectrade,

with 1 or 2, that would be fine the pending order, but with others?

can it work together when it change direction when it reverse?
.. what do you think about this?

and maybe there is a lot of things to do to dingdong to make it profitable either with time frame or maybe with profit management or any next feature?

thank you.

It will work with anything that has "presets," which is everything but Dazz Classic. This is all you're looking at, the presets, except now you can see them. These are just the entry points, above and below the last closing price or, initial opening price. There are no presets (i.e., stop orders and limit orders) with Dazz Classic, because it opens immediately.
