Steve,

Monday Tokyo open Original bot took a trade and closed at a loss, but hedging did not kick in.

Could you take a look at the code to see if the update to v2.3 broke something?

Hey Punter,

I'm using forex.com. I wonder if others running this bot closed for profit like you did?

I think it would be good to have screen shots captured for the losers as well as winners so that we can analyze the results for different feeds. I have a couple of links for the indis, which can help us with that, not sure I can post them here directly but can post the links if Steve is interested.

forex.com somehow manages to avoid the trade by orginal bot or take it into a loss. I use forex.com and surprisingly I've never got a trade on that bot. Ultimately I removed it.

I thought FXDD does not allow hedging. Are you running the original bot without hedging enabled?

FXDD (still) does allow hedging

Punter - good idea.

Steve/Scoob/Max - I use the following code to create screenshots when opening trades. Can also be used to capture the screen immediately before the trade is closed, assuming that you close it manually (i.e. it doesn't hit a SL).

And also, thanks for the Vouch!

Cheers,
Nick.

the function call...

if (TradeOpenScreenShot) CreateTradeScreenShot(Symbol(), "OrderOpenBUY");

The function...

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| CreateTradeScreenShot |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CreateTradeScreenShot(string symbol, string str = ""){
static int num = 0;
num = num + 1;
string fn = ExpertName + "_" + symbol + "" + Year() + "-" + FormatLeadingChars(Month(),2,"0") + "-" + FormatLeadingChars(Day(),2,"0") + " " +
FormatLeadingChars(Hour(),2, "0")+"_"+FormatLeadingChars(Minute(),2, "0")+"_"+FormatLeadingChars(Seconds(),2, "0")+" "
+ num + " " + str + ".gif";
if(!WindowScreenShot(fn,640,480)) Print("Screen Shot error: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
}

It creates the GIF files in the EXPERTS/FILES/<EA Name> folder.

Cheers mate..I think opening and closing BOTH should be captured for detailed analysis. By the way success story continues for Original, second basket for d day closed in profit in 22 min.

I have sent you my email addy. Will the file zip to fit the upload space here?

Any other ideas guys, so jezza doesn't keep on having to send the pdf out individually?

Just open a account at box.net which is free - no problem with using links to a box.net account from FF.

You will also find useful for storing/sharing other stuff too.

Cheers Nick. I have copied the code for possible use - it might come in handy in solving problems that are hard to diagnose. Thanks.

v1.6 will be arriving soon as there were some major bugs with v1.5 meaning no trades would be taken properly.

However, without starting a lengthy debate what are peoples thoughts on the following....

int tp = 2 * iATR(symbol,M15,14,0)/MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_POINT);
int sl = 4 * iATR(symbol,M15,14,0)/MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_POINT);

Scoobs

PS. I know you lot want the tp higher than sl but that is difficult to achieve in retail forex without serious entry analysis. But this can come later down the line.

Scoobs, I have used these 2 multipliers successfully for ATR based exits.

TP=1.4, SL=2.8

Could you try using exits on M30 TF to help filter out whipsaw impact. ? I have used M30 for this in the past with very positive results.

For zznbrn or Swingman (or others)

Is someone able to transform this indic in a function for using inside the code ?
I think this MACD Bollinger Bands is a must to determine the trend, better than EMA20/EMA200 (I currently doing some demo tests)

Thanks a lot !!

Yes, that's logical
Personnaly I use something similar, using the function ADR (inside bot code)

EMA20/EMA200 across multiple timeframes is used by economists, banks, BOE, BOJ, FED and brokers for determing a currencies trend.

There would need to be a very strong argument that this is false. However, if the concenus is that I and they are wrong then so be it.
