Nice work Steve with the Magic Number History Analyser. This really helps to make things clearer as to what each bot is doing, especially when there's more than 1 on an account which is the case with a couple of my demo's. All that adding and stuff's taken care of !!

I've attached a few results to cast your eye's over. If the format's not good enough can someone let me know ?

I'm trying to tweak some of them but it just gives you an idea of how mine have been doing.

Now we've got this tool perhaps a few others will post some results !!

I think it's time for me to try and get to grips with the MPTM to see if a few extra pips can (shop) lifted !!

Can You explain how Yoy can win pips but lose $. Ex DTRT + 1921 pips but - 71,06$

Cheers

Paid for, or merely stolen?
Steve,

Let me help you out. You missed the most obvious thing to do

"EAT THE EVIDENCE!!!"


Now even though you did do the right thing, you are still probably going to be racked with guilt until those offending fruits (yes, tomatoes are fruits not vegetables) are gone, so I suggest the obvious - a BLT's party... (Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches for everyone)

This will be great - I will bring the bacon and then we will... no wait, I forgot, we need lettuce!

Steve - while we are on my way over, would you going to the store and stealing enough lettuce for the all of us?

T...

Steve,

Has your close half and move to BE been working properly? I've been watching mine and the BE doesn't seem to function. I am using the default setting.

Also would it be possible, at some stage to have it close the entire trade at the first TP like the 5 momo? Tks.

(yes i've been staring at the pc for last 5 hours )

Hi, I meant what pair was opened?

and Steve's Half-close is working for me, maybe your BEP is set to low for your broker

Hi Matrixebiz,

I suspect you're correct its the BE set to low (Alpari US micro), I have adjusted it, but haven't had any trades yet to confirm it. Since I seem to have too much time on my hands I thought I'd ask.

The last trade I saw, was the eurcad, and there were no messages associated with the half closure, it just happened and the remaining lot SL was unadjusted.

I still wouldn't mind the choice of closing the entire trade out at the initial TP.

Cheers

An OrderModify to move a stop to be often fails when attempted straight after an OrderClose to close half the trade; this generates an alert.

There is code in the robots to mop up when this happens and move the stop of subsequent ticks. This has no error reporting so you will not know what is going wrong. The stop should get moved eventually, if there is sufficient profit in the trade.

I have added the feature you want to 2 ma macd - post 1 of the BS thread.

Looks normal. It spams the log every 5 minutes with its idea of the trend. The ones which it says are trending (first) are trending, the a/i suffix says whether they are in active or inactive hours. The remainders show the 'trend strings', which will have non-matching pairs of shorter and longer term trend directinos.

But it looks like there is a copy& paste error somewhere, "EURAUDa" makes no sense it should be like "EURAUD: Da" or "EURAUD: Ua". Check the actual text in detail.

Note that 1.7 has 3 different trend methods, you get to choose which one to use using the inputs.

Sorry Elovv for not replying sooner but I was called away. I'm not sure how it's calculated some of the pip values but the actual money amounts seem to be correct from my manual addition of trades. These correlate to my balance / equity so far.

I will post my settings in the morning (early ) for the 2ma macd.

Incidentally I fired up the 5 min momo on the 1 hr charts all pairs and 15 trades max allowed, today at 07.00 today and its taken 29 trades with 24 winners all at full close BEP 10(0). I'll post more in the morning.

I've noticed that different pairs may have a different min stop level with the same broker so I usually just add something like;
Inserted Code
int    msl=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL);
   if(msl > BEP) BEP = msl;
so even if that particular pair has a higher min stop level the trade will still be modified but just using the higher BEP

OK Elovv my settings for the 2ma are:- T/F = 1 hr, Max trade = 15, Sleep after trade = 30 mins, Immediate orders = True, Jumping stop = True, JSL = 30(0), everything else as default. This robot has been running 24/7 since 15 March.

It's shown a steady rise since loaded.

Also I cannot understand the pips to £'s at the moment other than to say that the actual £ total whether + or - seems to be correct according to my account balance / equity etc. Green pips = negative £ = ???? Maybe someone can enlighten us further ?

Anyone else with profitable settings out there ?
