Simple H1 GBPUSD EA

I am wondering if I have the EA turned on and there are active trades. Can I still take other trades on the G/U ? or will the EA have a problem with more orders?
only thing what I know is, that the GBP/USD chart window must be active in order for the ea to be able to work. So, for example you have an ea working on GBP/USD you cannot have the EUR/USD chart window clicked on.

Now, you question probably if it is possible to have 2 eas on this window running. To be on the safe side I would just open another demo account and let there run the other ea alone. Then you see on the first demo account what happens different if you run them together. Interesting outcome...let me know plse Tommycz

On 1 hour chart.. price closed above 10 SMA... is this a turn around? Should I cancel short and go LONG?
nononono, look what happens in Greece. The german politicians go balistic, there will be a horrible flight into quality when Europe comes in. USD strenthening, look into my other post....EM tanks....

stay put with your short position is my recommendation

Reason I ask is.. now I am filled short with 2 positions in G/U... I also trade a break out box just before German open, so I am wondering how that will affect my later trades. Will the TSL get confused to other G/U orders..

Will post when i find out.

I do not like what I am seeing here. Price on 1 hour is above 10 SMA and on 15 min keeps failing to break and close below MA..
I am considering cutting trade short. Cut your losses early and let the winner run .. so they say!
But SL is far enough, so trade may work out

This EA opens 2 orders every time. You got error on terminal?

I had put it on Prime4x Live account. It opened only one trade with another trade in error 129.

Anybody else got this kind of error?

This happens occasionally which is why I added error reporting to v5a.

This error means that the broker is requesting a requote which is a bit of a surprise, I wouldn't have thought that the price was moving so quickly at this particular time of day! LOL!

At least now I know what is happening and I can investigate a fix.

Many thanks for the info!

I got error 129, only one trade opened.

error 129 is ERR_INVALID_PRICE.
To avoid this, RefreshRates() is required after 5 or more seconds.
Is it good to add the code, after the error, Sleep(5000 or more), RefreshRates(), then OrderSend() only in the case that the price is below the first order(case of buy)....?

Geoff, how do you think...?

I got 2 sell orders on my live (micro) account and my demo account with Alpari.

Let's see what London decides to do with it!

v5 opened two shorts (1.20 GMT+2) on 1.52457 which on the graph seems to be on the bottom of the retrace. Should I keep them open?

Geoff, what do you think...?
I do RefreshRates() before the first order and usually the first order is filled quickly so the second order follows through.

I was surprised that a re-quote would occur so quickly, I think this is broker dependent, Alpari are very keen on the entry price!

I think another RefreshRates() before the second order should fix this, I don't like Sleep() instructions when sending orders, you can end up with the second order being rejected every time.

If you know how to add the second RefreshRates() you can modify your own mq4 file!

Thanks for the info!

I am reasonably happy with the shorts, it was certain to happen last night with the negative slope on the SMA.

London opens in half an hour so we will soon see what they think!

I expect a retrace, not sure when, but cable will certainly go up again.

If you have our program running in one window you can have other EA's working in other windows, or you can trade manually in another window.

The unique magic number ensures that our EA can keep track of our trades without interfering with others!

You can also click on other windows with other pairs it will not interfere with our EA.

Hope this helps!

I think you know GBP as well as I do and I have been watching it for 20 years, so we both know it can do just about anything!

What I do know is, if I close my shorts within minutes the price will tank!

I will let my shorts run, it's the only way that I can prove my strategy!
