Yesterday was pretty rough, but we managed to pull through it. :-)

As for today, I didn't get any trades on IBFX or InstaForex. Hmmmm :-|
I got three profitable trades today using V8 and V4 on IBFX

Here are the trades:

Both are 4 digit brokers... :-|
I have been testing with a TDFX account which is 4 digit and comparing it
with my Alpari 5 digit account and I have noticed that the fractals do not
necessarily form on the TDFX account as they do on the Alpari account.

This may be the reason for the differing results but it is by no means clear
cut, it is quite difficult to see the differences!

Hi Knez Ive looked through the EA how did you get 3 trades the EA is set to 2

Did you get 2 on 1 and 1 on the other version ..or is there a way of increasing contracts traded

Thanks

The ma's looked very good from an angle perspective but perhaps if you have a 4 digit broker it wont be as sensitive in picking up differences in the slope

ie on a 5 digit it could be

1.46667 1.46668 1.46669 the EA identifies a slope

on 4 digit we only get

1.4666 1.4666 1.4666 the EA doesnt identify a slope so no trade

Paulus,

I am using V8 and V4 at the same time on different 1h charts. V8 gives 2 trades, and V4 give 1 trade.

This whas correct with EA rules. EA whas looking for a long trade. Fractal 15 min points down GMT23.00-24.00 = no trade

Elovv
I promised Geoff that I would no longer talk abt fractals again in this thread but my understanding is that 15mins fractal pattern need NOT be in GMT23 bar; it can be from GMT22 bar.

Hey Geoff, Trades triggered on both v8 and on the 3 order ea, both on demo for the moment but all ended in good profit.

Do you use both v8 and the 3 order or do you prefer one over the other, reason i ask is that i know you built the 3 order at the request of someone else, just curious.

hats of to you, great ea and thread.

Keep up the work

Two of my terminals traded, but the ones that had errant data for the MA's didn't trade (as is to be expected.)

I deleted all of the .hst files in the C:-Program Files-FXDD - MetaTrader 4 - MT4 - 03-history-FXDD-MT4 DEMO Server and everything in the C:-Program Files-FXDD - MetaTrader 4 - MT4 - 03-historydownloads-GBPUSD folder and now I'm seeing consistent plots again.

The lesson here is, downloading data for backtesting can throw off your current indicators, which could take you out of a trade, which, when you're trading Geoff's EA, would be...

did you delete all the files here too
I'm live and got no trades

Ohh, I see, cause on page #1 settings are different, anyways

We got lucky, I guess, cause before I leave yesterday on H4 was Sell signal already

(but H4 wont even notice + - 50 pips),

now look at it dropping like a rock, but still in uptrend, if this not change then MA10 will

leave us with No Trade.



Geo, you are Genius, man.. I'm trying other pairs for same method and it's a loss, How the heck

you picked up Cable and find this thing? Incredible, what can I say..

V9 has been tested on ECN with Hide_Targets set to both false and true and
it works, this should also get rid of error #0.

Upgrade is advisable as soon as possible!

The files have been updated in post #1 also!

Hi Goeff,

I posted a message on the Simple 3 order GBPUSD EA tread that might help some problems # 881. I have done this many times so this could help Mary4X or anyone need some answers to all the possible EA gotcha problems.

Geoff's EA's are working very good and I got. 75 pips on V8 and 65 pips on C V4 last night.

Thank you Geoff.
