Does this trade the sunday evening opening?
Yes it should trade tonight, unless the 10 SMA moves upward in which case it would conflict with the 197 SMA and there would be no trade.

Fingers crossed!

Take a look at the spread, I'm betting it's on the weekend setting!
If people are interested in weekend testing then have a look at this application. It allows you to modify the spread in MT4 Strategy Tester.

I know the weekend is nearly over, was a bit slow with my post.

Thanks a lot! Went on their site, but can't seem to find where to download the script. Where is it?

Thanks!

Hi Geoff,

I have a few problems, If you can help. I reloaded my MT4 build 226 with my primary broker Jadefx 5 digit. Works great in back testing now. Hope the order send error # 0 is gone .

I also use TDFX broker 4 digits. I have set up camcvoo V2a. In back testing I get in the journal invalid price 1.59185000 order send function, order send error 4107, sell order send 3 failded with error # 0. The orders will go through when the fifth digit is 0. TP and SL also work good once in the trade. I think if you could code a 4 digit entry price ver. it would work good.

Thanks for all your effort helping us all out. I wish I could help with coding, but I can bearly operate this computer. Will help if I can. I am a good manual trader. Would like a good EA or two. Yours are the best.

Hi Joet

It is a 4 digit or 5 digit EA, 4107 is the error code for invalid price, have you got mini account and micro account set to true?
You didn't say what type of account you have.

Hi Geoff,

As a manual trader I never paid attention to 4 or 5 digits. Now the EA does. I have both mini and micro set to true. I have a mini demo account at TDFX. I dosen't seem to like all those digits. As I said some trades will go through if fifth digit in zero. If it only had 4 digits I think it may work good. If not I will open another 5 digit broker for a demo account.

Thanks again.

The EA works with 4 or 5 digits!

The problem is, "Invalid Price"!

If your account is a mini account then you should set MicroOrdersAllowed to false!

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for taking your Sunday and working with the traders on your tread. Since you are about 9 months older than I am I look up to you for advice.

I put microaccount false and still have the same problem in the strategy tester. I wish I was more independent at this, but you help is needed.

Thanks

Member Boxxie uses TDFX, maybe he can help!

I use TDFX (Tadawulfx) and have not missed a trade. They are a STP broker. Just note that on their FAQ it says that their server offset is +1 when in fact it is +2. (My guess is that it will change back to +1 in the winter.) Last edited by Boxxie, May 15, 2010 2:02pm (30 hr ago) Reason: spelling error

Yes, this is a problem I have noticed myself, it is on the third order which doesn't actually have a trailing stop but the stop does trail the price and eventually protects it from going below +10 where it closes it.

I need to check the code in this area and see if I can come up with a better way!
Just a thought. how about a trailing stop on the low of the last three candles on a long order. It tends to catch most of a short term move.

The only reason we added the third order was to reduce the number of times the trailing stoploss gets hit on the second order, it would kind of defeat the object if I put a TSL on it now!

Besides, I have found out how to stop it doing multiple modifies and will be releasing the new version as soon as I finish testing!

Geoff,

Ok to trade live with v2a?

Am starting live with v2a today.

Yes, there will be a lot of modify data in the journal while TP3 is still trading but this does not cause a problem with the TP & SL.

I have modified the code to stop this but I am still testing it!

If that's the case.........all three orders will go into FULL TP!

If you want to run two EA's....put them on different GBPUSD 1 hour charts and change the magic number...

My settings for this EA version 2a..

1st TP 30

2ndTP 50

3rd TP 80

SL 140 ( I think thats default )

remember to put in your broker time I think by default Geoff has set it for Alpari....so it will be GMT 2 and start time 23.

The risk, refers to the amount of your account you wish to risk in a drawdown...so if the position goes against you by 10 % it will close the position..

I just enter 10 for 10%, you will see the risk amount on the screen if you have " show settings" on true..

If you have your expert advisers enabled they both should work ok, If you want to disable one but leave it on a chart other then the one you wish to use just go to properties and common tab...and disable live trading..

That should stop that EA from working..

I have just asked Geoff to come in and help you with your broker settings as Iam not sure what IBFX, should be....

Okay, I went into Vers 5 Properties and unchecked "Allow live trading." That seemed to work to just enable your version to trade. Frowning face on Vers 5 and smiley face on yours...

I'm clear on the broker settings--I mistook BROKER SETTINGS as something I should change when it was really just a title to the choices below it. My only thing now is do I leave both MicroOrders allowed and MiniOrders allowed set as true (default)? I have a Standard account (but should have signed up for a Mini account--am fixing that with IBFX.) If it doesn't bother anything right now, I'll just leave it as default (true). I'm deleting the above questions (answered by you) now. And thanks for saving me!!

Calstock, I left the settings at default (22/50/80). I'm now at profits 1 and 2 $41 and $41. TP 1 didn't close. Do you think I should close TP1 manually or leave it alone? If I close TP1, will that interfere with TP2 and TP3?
