Hi Geoff,

You are once again doing a super job. Please stay with US.

I have been a manual trader for many years and just resently tied these robots to free up some of my time. I have made every mistake known and unknown. These things are very sensitive. Here is one thing I have found I do and continue to do.

If you are checking your EA menu to see if the settings are correct , unless you are making changes DO NOT push the OK button. Push the cancel button. When you push the OK button the EA is reset with the settings on the menu. It also removes it from the platform. You will have a smiley face a green EA botton, but if you look in the Expert Advisor tab at the bottom if will say EA removed. You think you are OK, but you not. If you are unsure recycle your broker platform. Turn it off then back on. All indicators and EA's will be reinstalled. A clean install. Then ckeck smiley face, EA green button and meaaage that your EA's are initalized and not removed.

Hope this will help.

Wish the best for everyone.

joet

Did your EA trade?
yessir.
+22.+50 +12 woohoo.

Was watching it since it fired early. Notice position 2 and 3 trail slightly differently.
Also, risking a lot on lot 3. maybe it could make 1 more step at tp2 or trail at that point?
Dunno, I'm totally happy, i guess if I didn't want that 3rd risk i could trade the other one

Afternoon all.
Have deleted V4 and downloaded V5 but cannot open either the exe4 file or the mq4 file.

Firefox wants a program to open the mq4 file with.Any suggestions ladies and gents?

The exe. file wants me to open it with mqle4 (Default). When I say ok it says I don't have it. But tbh I don't really need the exe. version

Do I need to download the V3 zip file before downloading V5 mq4 file?

I realise this is going to be a real "DOH" slap myself on the forehead solution.

I thank you with deep embarrassment

Go to the first page. Do a right mouse button click on the amvcvooV5.ex4 link and select "Save Link As ..." from the popup menu.

Thank you very much Geoff and Pip.
I appreciate it.
Keep up the good work and keep me away from manual trading!!

Alas windows cannot open it. I have a choice of searching on line for an appropriate program or choosing from a list which includes Firefox, notebook etc.
Any suggestions.

Presuming you did a right mouse button "Save Link As..." and you now have it somewhere on your PC, copy the amvcvooV5.ex4 file to your C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\experts folder and startup MetaTrader and you should now see it in the list of available experts.

You can download it here, paste it on your desktop then copy or move it
directly to your experts folder.

You don't need to open it just copy & paste once you have it on your computer.

Hi Geoff

I've had all of your EA's mounted to the charts for some time now, and I'm starting to adore them.
But the 3-order don't want to trade though. Journal don't seem to show anything. Settings are unchanged, apart from the GMT-offset. The only detail different from the others is "Analysis for information only" printed on the screen.

The 2 order V9 I've decided to hire live already.

Hi Ho Silver, Away....!

Had to get that in.

I have used v5 on GoMarkets live these past two days, all successful.

BUT, same EA on some demo's not accepting trade. Experts tab shows "invalid ticket for OrderModify function"

I've had that 4 times now

Hi Geoff,

What if we test two different time for trade?
I did a test for this from Feb 1 to June 2 on Alpari UK. Image 1 is default value test(23 GMT) and Image 2 is using two different times(23 GMT and 16GMT) with $1000 opening balance. I think you can better test it if you have time.

Tokyo opens at 0:00 GMT all year round, it is one of the very few constants that can be relied on!
Thank you, so http://forex.timezoneconverter.com/i...=GMT&refresh=5 is not correct?

goeff,

i think there is a regression in v5: the slippage fields in OrderSend() calls are back to "3*Poin", where they used to be (and should still be) "3*Poin/Point", as i pointed out in a previous post.
Slippage is an integer value (30 for 3 pips in a 5-digits broker for instance).
"3*Poin" will give you 0.00003, which will be interpreted as 0, allowing no slippage at all.

This could very well be the reason for orders being rejected, as Spaghetti noticed.

Ah.. might be the reason I am getting trades from 2 order v9 but not camcvoov5...
