Hi Steve

Last week 17.02 the hedge did not kicked in on 24H EA. I remember we had a similar problem end of January on Original EA and you fixed this 2 problems :

Hedge Problem
NewsFilterCheck Problem

I think we have the same 2 errors inside of 24H EA. Could you please have a look ?

ottrix

PS : my broker allows hedging

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.
hi Scoob,
with my manual trading style, i'm happy with ATR based on 200 bars and M15 (predictable pairs only, not with yen of course). I'm testing your 1.5 bot since market is opened and there is no trade: in fact, i wonder how rsi can work on this big basket mixing correlated pairs with no correlated ones .

But i like your coding style Scoob: very clear and clean (maybe i will code myself following your style, very nice.)

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.

Scoobs.
Professional experience beats all for me Scoobs..
I have a question regarding the pdf you posted regarding GJ, could this MA analysis be applied to other pairs as well?

I didn't say it's wrong (that's work nice) , I said the MACD BB seems to give better results with my bot because they give the trend a little more accurate and earlier. Anyway I have the both (EMA and MACDBB) on demo and let's see what will happen.

- mode with no martinguale : close by profit mod, close by end on trend ; Currency profit only if many lots, able to open many trades
- Trend scaling=TrendTF0

Please find attached v1.6

Notes

1. AC has been removed for the time being. It was blocking out allot of trades being taken. I will come back to this at a later stage.
2. GMTShift has been fixed.
3. TP is set @ 2 x ATR + Spread.

People having been asking me my thoughts on TS. I am not a fan unless you have allot of profit in the trade. Then it makes sense to lock some/all in.

What i would suggest is if your last closed trade is > 0 then use TS on current open trade. if your last closed trade was < 0 then do not use TS on current open trade.

But i am not going to get into an argument about it.

Have fun.

Is your broker an ECN ?
Figured it out
My Broker has an Allowed min BuyStop difference of 30pips and even though I left the PendingOrderPips=100; thinking that using a 100 difference with 4digit broker should work, Steve has this code PendingOrderPips/= 10; which put it back to 10 Put PendingOrderPips=300; and all is well Hence the reason why it was still working with IBFX 4digit, because IBFX must be ok with 10 pip difference.

Hello Max...
I just walked in and looked and took a look to see how the ea was doing, and I have a question? I see there is a version 5.14 and will go to that. I was using 5.13b and noticed I had 30 position open per chart with a total of 150 open positions? Is this normal? I am using defaults expect for the lots.
Thanks
Vince

I do not have so many positions, but it's not impossible
Try the 514 with usemartinguale=0 and Macd =true

Hi Maxou,

All working well here on FXDD demo. Trying to get running on Collective FX. This broker has suffixes (xxxyyy_fx) on pairs and is a ECN.

I know Wilko on this forum/thread (before vouchers) is very experienced with ECN/suffix implementations. If you not familiar with this/don't have time, perhaps he maybe be able to help out.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks,

hi, Max, I am trying to code it as a function into your EA now.

need to confirm that in your EA:
MACDBB_M5_Sig =iCustom(Pair,periodfast,"MACD_BB",50,250,1,1,0,4,0);//index, shift
MACDBB_M5_MidB =iCustom(Pair,periodfast,"MACD_BB",50,250,1,1,0,2,0);//index, shift

so the _Sig means red signal line in your chart, and _MidB represent yellow middle line?

if so or not, please confirm. i'll make it ready right away. thanks

Exactly, but don't forget the2 others lines (up band and low band) as I eventually will need them
Thank

Is someone able to transform this indic in a function for using inside the code ?
See attached script file. It contains the function you requested. Look at start() for example usage.

Edit: Oops, looks like someone is already working on this...I guess you can disregard.
