Simple 3 order GBPUSD EA

I am running original system from post 1 before I saw there were revisions. I show an entry for 3 short at1.4836.
So I hope this is working correctly and we shall see and I will update, this is a live trade with micro-lots.

And my entries show to be at 2:36. Does this mean offset is wrong? I have it set to 3 using forexmeta(fxdd)

I also never got any trades since yesterday.

I set it on InterbankFX platform which is running on GMT time, and only what I have changed in settings is: GMToffset = 0

Does anyone have any idea why there are no trades?

Thanks.
Knez.

Hello,

It is strange, I have no trade triger tonight. But everyone else has trades.
I have checked trading candle on two brokers. And the actual candle is closed above 10 MA (see in attached sheet). So per rules EA did not triger any trades. (Broker is +3 GMT, so candle is 2:00)
How can it be, that everyone got trades tonight?

Do someone else has no trades tonight as me?

Thank you for replay.

I have also a GMT+3 broker and the start was OK on candle 2
perhaps can you check your journal about 23 GMT

You are on the correct start candle but we do not look for the close to be above or below the SMA, we look at the slope of both SMA's between the two previous candles.

Your EA should have traded, it didn't so we need to look at your settings!

Allow live trading and other settings are setted correctly.

In the Journal there is no error.
I have tried to run backtest with last night candle inluded on two different brokers, and in backtest EA trades past nights normaly, but did not take any trade last night, exactly like in live trading.
Maybe there is differences on brokers data feed, but two different brokers gives same result: no trade last night.
Strange. Shuld I try to run backtest on more different brokers...

Is that $1 a pip?

If it works on backtest with your broker it should work live, was your balance large enough to cover the margin on a live account?

OK, Thanks eoff. What are the plotted horizontal lines.?
I guess i can manually change TP's without loaded on a new version?

The horizontal lines show yesterdays high (blue) yesterdays low (green) daily pivot (yellow) 1st bear target if low broken (magenta) 1st bull target if high broken (aqua).

I like to know this information but it is not used by the EA.

Well, equity is enaugh to cover margin.
In backtesting this trade has not been taked also, so problem is not in equity.

I have backtested last night trade on third broker fxopen, and the trade has been taked. So, i gues, there is differences on brokers datafeed.
First two brokers i have tested data feed may be a little different from third broker I have tested.

Let's see what happens next night

Thank you geoffb65, for your hard work!

Hi Geoff

And first of all thanks for sharing your EA with us all.

Interestingly, my results on Alpari UK demo are;

For version camvicoo -
tp1 = 22
tp2 = 50
tp3 = 50

and the same for camvicoo V2, same as above.
What you do is a reflection of you....what I do is a reflection of me.

First of all, RESPECT to Geoff and other participants!
However, as I was trying hard to find the info regarding downloading of those files. Please, pardon my ignorance, but mq4 goes into scripts and ex4 into experts? Thanks for a hint and again CONGRATS!

Hello everybody!

May I ask for your help? I always had problems with EAs' settings. Basically, this was the first reason why EAs never worked for me, because I never knew to put the right settings.

So, dear Geoffb65 and Camvcvoo, could you please post your own settings here, the settings that you actually use now?

Also, if I intend to trade live an account of $2000, risking maximum 4% on each trade (meaning 80 pips in all), what settings should I put on your EA?

Thank you vm!

The default settings are exactly as I use them, you only need to change the GMT offset for your broker for it to work.

The risk you want is a bit more difficult because we have a stoploss of 140 per order, using anything less is likely to get you stopped out.
