Hi Geoff,

first of all congrats to this awesome EA.
I`ve been live since tonite and I run the V6 and V7adx version on the same account, one MT platform and two screens. I changed the magic numers of course. I am with Alpari UK (Micro Account).

Now this is what was happening:
At 01:10 there was 2 x buy at 1.47901 from the V6 version, that was closed at TP with 1.48121 (02:05 ). But the second long was closed by the V7adx version at 1.48391 also at 02:05.

Here are the expert entries:

2010.05.10 02:05:31 SimpleH1_GBPUSD_EAv7_adx GBPUSD,H1: close #15723826 buy 0.01 GBPUSD at 1.47901 sl: 1.47918 tp: 1.48391 at price 1.48136

2010.05.10 01:10:04 Simple_H1_GBUSD_EAv6_oh GBPUSD,H1: open #15723826 buy 0.01 GBPUSD at 1.47901 sl: 1.46501 tp: 1.48391 ok
2010.05.10 01:10:04 Simple_H1_GBUSD_EAv6_oh GBPUSD,H1: open #15723824 buy 0.01 GBPUSD at 1.47901 sl: 1.46501 tp: 1.48121 ok

Have you got an idea why this happened although the mag. num. are different??

BR,

Your futures indication to switch to v5b was perfect!

That is strange, I take it you didn't change anything after the trade had started?

The different magic numbers should have stopped any interaction!

Good morning to you Geoff!

Thank you very much...but it is only early days....or to be correct the 1st day. If you think it is useful i will post the number as well before I switch of the computer here in Shanghai. My posting early Sydney trading hours are too late if you don't want to stay up until 22:00 GMT......?

However, the 22:00 indicator is much stronger as it will have all US numbers taken into consideration......

Everything will change if I get my hands on a automatic feed for the raw data........

Hi Geoff, thanks so much for your excellent EA.

Can you all share your best set files for his EA ?

I see many versions of the EA in the forum.

Hi Geoff, thanks so much for your excellent EA.

My best settings are the defaults, these are all optimised using the MT4 optimising tool.

In case you have lost them, they are:
TP1 22, TP2 50, SL 140, TSL 22, fast_sma 10, slow sma 197.

v7_adx is what I modified v7 and uploaded without asking Geoff. It isn't official release.
Nevertheless if you want to use it, you can set the parameter as you like.
With backtest 09.05.04-10.05.06,
- default(use_slow_sma=false,use_adx=true) is 97.01%win, total 5224.7pips
- use_slow_sma=true, use_adx=true is 100%win, total 3722.5pips
I am sorry to say that adding the ADX indicator to V7 did not make any improvement in my back testing with Alpari...

12 month backtest, first number with ADX, second without:

Profit: $3387, $4341.
Trades: 160, 196.
Losing: 2, 2.
Ratio: 98.75%, 98.78%.
Drawdown: 9.73%, 9.73%.

The results show $1000 less profit with no reduction in losing trades.

The Reconnect is an EA so it goes in your Experts folder and yes, you open a new chart of any pair and put the EA on it.

This does not preclude the need for a vps.

Geoff has already answered this for me. Thanks Geoff. I didn't see the post until this morning as I have been away all weekend.
