Hi, Maxou888

please check the attached EA if it is giving correct reading of MACD signal value.

I put a line (Row# 773)
Print("@@@ getMACDBBsignal is @ ", DoubleToStr(MACDBB_H1_Sig,5));

so that you can find the EA's readings of MACD_BB under 'expert advisor' tab.

I cannot match the EA's reading to the MACD_BB indicator, however, it may be due to my lack of understanding of the indicator.

Many thanks to zznbrm! This is totally his work finally :-).

by the way, if to trade only a few pairs, do I need to delete those lines containing all pairs' name all through the coding, OR just changing "PairsToTrade" contents will be enough?

You're making it too difficult. The calcMACD_BB function I provided should be copied as is to the EA - there is no need to change it. See attached file for example implementation (I did not test this).

Hi

I just sent you a pm with my email. One way of getting round this problem is by making the file into smaller segments by doing the following:

Download "CUTE PDF" a freeware from http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp . This handy useful application registers itself as a printer and gives you the ability to convert anything which can be printed into a pdf file. Once you have done this open the pdf file in the acrobat reader, then select print and select CUTE PDF as your printer and choose page range (e.g. if book is...
Good shout, cheers. I already have 'Pdf995' which does the same thing, but just didn't think of splitting it up. You can link the seperate pdf's back together and save them into 1 pdf file if you use 'PdfEdit'.

So here it is in 7 parts. Hope you think it was worth the effort to split it up and post it. The content might give some people some ideas, others might know everything already. Anyway I think it's a decent read.

Yes. I'm trading G7 and pacific crosses excluding nzd/cad, aud/nzd. Max drawdown today was around 1.5%, currently have 1.5% locked in, floating positions around breakeven.
Zoogle.. are you using default settings?

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.
My Demo's on Forex.com for the Original BOJ have always worked fine and continue to do so.
- On one Demo I got a trade last night at 00.01 GMT that went pear shaped, but the new Trade Expiry setting cut it after 5 hours as instructed by my inputs It then took another trade at 07.03 GMT which closed for profit at 08.31 GMT.
- The other Demo not using the trade expiry actually closed the 00.01 GMT trade for a profit at 06.52 GMT, but consequently mised the 07.03 GMT trade that the other demo took.
Cool.

For the most part yes, I've added a few functions since the version I've posted to speed up calculating the display and cleaned up the code... bloody ADD can't let anything just be. Shouldn't affect performance though.

Me not playing with Scoobs' trend-detection function was never going to happen. I have wanted something like this for ages and was going to look into BS's 3 ma trend detection but Scoobs sent me on a slightly different direction.

'Scooby-doo Trend Retracement auto trading robot' is available in post 1. It spots the trend, waits for a retrace then uses ATR to govern all further decision taking. Details right at the bottom of the post.

Got to give that one a bash. Problem is, will have to stop one other Demo because I've run out of room on my VPS. Decisions decisions. A pleasant dilemma to have

Grail 1.6 starting off decently today. Still stuck in the ucad/au batch, but price there just isn't moving much. I see it opened and close a gj/gu batch pretty quickly though.

morning Steve - looking through the mptm pdf and the inputs I cannot find a way to make it close all trades at defined loss but ALSO suspend any further trades thereon. I assume the shirtprotection feature allows normal automated trades to resume.

apologies if this has been queried elsewhere but after extensive reading I haven't found it.

The 5 of the floating positions are closed in profit and 3 are still open..pretty promising start by V1.6! Original continues to make its usual 1% in such a tight range..

I do not know of a way to make one ea prevent the running of another.

this is the 515 :
- don't need any more MACD_BB (huge thanks to zznbrm)
- we look at 3 TF of macdBB to detect the trend

You can use on M5 or M15 or H1
2 option : use or don't use martinguale (that's change all, including exit strategies)

Enjoy

if the GBPJPY hits 140.100 then buy it.

Set your TP @ 2 x ATR(15M)

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

Hi Steve

Maybe you missed my post above.
Last night i fixed the hedge problem on the 24H EA on my server and this fixed the hedge problem (see below).
Maybe you could fix it in the official version too ?

Thanks

This is an EA that Dave Fulton developed and shared on the open Yahoo list. Account Sentry lets you set an equity thresh hold. If you fall below it, a global variable is set and the trades are closed. His EA checks that global variable and if it hasn't been reset then new trades won't be made with the original EA.

There is hook code that has to go in the Start section of the primary EA youwantto run and control. Hook code:

//**************ADDED FOR ACCOUNT SENTRY ***************

if (GlobalVariableGet("GV_CloseAllAndHalt") > 0){
return (0);
} else

//**************END ACCOUNT SENTRY HOOK ****************

The Account Sentry EA is attached.

Taz may know of some weaknesses in this approach. I didn't use it for long. This is the last version I had on my computer.

Hope this helps

Sandy
