wow you did it too he he...
it work in forward testing, but no opening in back test...
Probably because the Option is set to "0," I think? If so, set it to 1 or 2. I think I need to set it to 1 as a default. The "0" option is good to have though (it says "IDLE" in status display), because it allows you to suspend trading ... although it won't delete all pending like the Profit Manager.

Oh, speaking of which ... here is the most current version. Although I haven't had a chance to test it and make sure there are no bugs. Plus I haven't got it to "refresh" yet, as mentioned in this thread.

ETA: Added Recurring option and Overall_Profit option ...

Yes, except you will have to add the code (one or two lines) to the EA's in order to get it to "suspend." Other than that, all you need are the magic numbers and the same broker account (i.e., regardless of chart). The only drawback here though is the updating (waiting for ticks from other charts) might not be consistent enough.

No need to reset. It will do so automatically. Or, if you want it to stop, set Set_Profit_Target (in new version) to false. Of course it might be good to have an option where it is just a one time thing too, I guess? ...

hi ec,

option profit target=0.5 what does it mean 0.5? is it 50% from equity?
or 5% winning from every open order position...

and after it hit profit target the ea will closing all order and will not opening again correct(suspend)? no trading at the day because that is enough profit for one day..

or like above will starting automatically to open pending order?

so will it suspend the trading after it hit profit target....

well, i can't believe most back test have more than 5 to 9 profit factor... DD is around 5%.

Nhi ec,

It's just an arbitrary number (as an example) which means means 50 cents US dollars or, whatever currency you are using. Basically you set it to whatever value you want it to close at.

No, but like I said, it might be good to have that option.

Yes.

No, but that might be a good option too.

I know, but it takes forever (or it seems) for it to develop. Plus, if there's a major upswing or downswing, then you have to be very careful. This what I'm trying to address with the switcher (option 4) and indicator (option 3). After I do that, then maybe we can start looking at adding timeouts and some other things. But, it does help (for you) to understand how it's supposed to work overall.

For example, I just added a feature where you can now set a stop loss. However, it defeats the ability to open any "secondary" trades which, is what makes the whole thing work. So it's kind of useless in that sense. But, it still might be useful in some form, for example, when creating a trailing stop, so I figured it would probably best to leave it in. Plus you have the option to set the maximum trades to "1" (more so with indicator), in which case it will be useful there as well.

hi ec,

take a look at this, back test from january until 15 march 2010 at 15 TF.

it look like, it depends the first order opening need to be profit first.
about 35%DD. after 3 months it will profit or break even, because first, second, third order is floating loss for 3 months...

i did for tick per tick, almost the same result...

is it FIFO rule apply to the ea? first in first out for the order...

Which Option? I discovered in Option 4 another error that caused it to close early. Maybe this is what you're talking about? ... I don't know? Although, no, I haven't seen any results like that.

Which broker? With most American brokers, it could be. With IBFX, however, no. This is why I am using them.

ec,

it is option =1

i think the result because first, second and third and forth opening never close and it is still open.

but it is great, a lot of winning around 25 only 4 losses from 1,2,3,4 th order that is big floating loss for 3 months...

it is depends the first order then that will change for the next... when it has floating loss, it reduces the opening...

i use ibfx, that is working fine... maybe not working at others us brokers.

when i did back test on this months, march.. it has almost same opening around 20... with a PF= around 9.

hi ec,

with SB 1.0T, the hedge, it must be true to work correct? i confuse about the hedge, sometimes reverse, sometimes not with option 4.

it look like working fine option 4. i don't know which error you mention, ok i know now, it mix option 4 with the hedge function.

oh in back test option 4, closing at 3 pips in back test.

about SL. i put 100, but still empty... it should be each order has 100 pips SL right ec?

You mean it hadn't done a "Close_All" yet? If so, that could be ...

By the way, I just modified the Profit Monitor EA to include Recurring option which, if you leave set to "true" (after setting Enable to "true"), it will continue automatically. Or, if you set it to "false," it will only do it once. You can also shut it off at any time by setting Enable to "false."

I also created an Overall_Profit option (set to "!0" arbitrarily) which, once it is reached, it stops at that point as well. Of course I haven't had a chance to test it yet, so there are no guarantees at this point.

Yes, it must be "true." However, I haven't had the time to set it up.

Yes, that sounds like it might be the error, except with me it was closing at 13 or 14 pips I believe (instead of 25).

Am still in the process of setting it up. I thought I had it set up, but discovered everything wasn't working right. The way it's setup now, it requires that I shift several variables, so it's a bit more complicated. I think it's setup correctly now though.

Will send you an updated version in a little bit.

Oh, I just modified it again. At least it's counting correctly now. Will have to wait and see if it actually closes the orders or not.

Oh well, it probably wouldn't hurt if I enabled it though.

hi thx ec, i am waiting new one...
too much error with the last one...

  • Mar 17, 2010 4:33am Mar 17, 2010 4:33am
Well, that's what happens when you modify it without testing it. I am testing it now though, and it seems to be working okay. I'm still waiting for it to close all open orders though, because it's not reaching it's target.

Actually, I think it just did, because all orders are closed out but, I wasn't paying any attention? It might be wrong though, because one order reached it's Take Profit value which, was the same as the "close all" value. It shouldn't have done that, unless that's what triggered it to close everything ... it could be. Plus it looks like the actual account balance went down (instead of going up), so that's probably what happened.

Oh, one thing I did was change the code where the Profit Monitor communicates with Shake and Bake. So, if you can't get any of it to work, this is probably why. You need the latest version of each in order to do so.

If you like, I can send you a copy of the latest EA, although there are still a couple of things I'm working on. I also have to figure out what to do about Profit Monitor closing out the orders at wrong time.
