dambuster, haven switch to v11?

what is the difference of v9 and v11?
tingwei_98, I will be switching at some point but prefer to lag just a little

Geoff would be the man to answer you question more precisely on the differences but AFAIK Tokyo gives you greater flexibilty such as 1 order set = v4, 2 order set = v9 and 3 order set = camvcvoo

Tokyo v11 exactly matches all the earlier version as per dambusters reply but
it is also much better code than the old versions, plus the error handling is
second to none.

Piptician has sent me Tokyo v12 which has sorted out a few "niggles" and I
will be testing it today and making some new preset files to go with it.

Hi Geoff. This is a bit strange. Nothing for me on Alpari UK, Live or Demo.

My previous trades were usually very close to yours. I was using 3 orders with fixed 0.1 lots. Last night I changed to 2 Orders with MM.

Would this have anything to do with not trading?

By the way my logs are clear.

Thanks

Nothing you did would have had any effect on the outcome, I had nothing in
the demo account journal either.

All I can think is that the fractals didn't set up on some accounts.

My live accounts triggered at 23:35 GMT so I can check what happened at
that time on my demo accounts!

I think I found the reason. I noticed a difference in the direction of the 197 MA between my live and demo. The MA was down on Live and up on Demo. Looking closer I found a large chunk of time missing from the Live chart. The time-line skips everything between 7 June and 7 May. Refreshing the chart (right click > Refresh) filled the gap and the MA looks the same on both.

I have seen this before when downloading history. I get a gap in the data which reflects on the charts. Has anyone seen the same thing before?

It is absolutely terrible to me. The EA has set 120pips SL but your trades were closed at 19pips, that’s strange and out of my expectations! $500 should have enough margin to stand 120pips!
Crazy MM, or rather, no MM.....................
If 66trader66 loses $57 on the 3 trade option, the broker closing at a 57 pt loss, that's $1 a pt. This is on a $500 a/c. With a total SL of 420 (i.e. 140 x 3), this is risking 84% of the a/c. Are my maths correct? (it's a bit early in the morning, in the UK). Isn't this, well, suicidal?

The other week, someone closed a trade using this system because he couldn't take it anymore - the paper loss was too much for him to take (the trade went on to win!).

I don't want to sound like an old granny here, and it's none of my business what people do with their money, but surely the first thing that anyone does is to work out the worse case scenario – how much money will be lost if the trade goes pear-shaped.

Anyway, with Alpari Micro (live) +20, +50; forex.com no trade/s.

Since 2 June, that's 275 pts with Alpari, 154 pts with forex.com. A total of 429 pts. I'm looking forward to passing the 560 pt mark – as at least I will be positive after the first 'hit.' Incidentally, risking 2.2% on the Alpari a/c, 1.8% on the forex.com a/c.

By the way, this is a great system Geoff – well done! You've also been incredibly patient answering some of the questions. Keep up the good work!

Attached is Tokyo v12 which has the new AllowWeekendTrades option.
There are a few minor tweaks in there too:
For some brokers the price, stop loss and take profit values must be normalized
to the number of digits that the broker supports otherwise you can get invalid
stop/price/take profit errors appearing in the logs.
(Alpari and others do the normalization on the server side but some don't).

To run the EA, download the .ex4 file, place it in the Experts folder and re-start MT4.
Crogram Files\MetaTrader\experts

Download the PresetsXX.zip file and unzip it on your desktop then move all the .set files to:
Crogram Files\MetaTrader\experts\presets

Attach the EA to the chart and press the Load button on the settings
dialog that pops up and select the appropriate .set file.
