I think it's due to EA trying to modify the order which already has

been closed.

THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR EA

but i like to ask is that not an idea that the EA opens 1 order and if it gos 10 or 15 pips against it opens the next one and if it gos 30 pips it opens the 3rd order with the same sl so the sl of all three order should be at the same place. so a little of martingale in it
that will give us more if it go a little against us and the risk shuold be a little lesser than now or not?

thanks bother way.

Greet you,

which is why the EA gives you options to adjust the t/p levels.

I will use smaller t/p levels and higher lots as time goes by...I think this EA will work perfectly for this strategy...just me talking...not speaking for everyone.

I know the default t/p levels were designed by geoff after exhausting efforts and research so I don't wish to make light of that...just merely stating my style of trading

If you can back test and share your results that would be very nice.
thank you...
My own thinking on this is bigger lots and smaller take profit means bigger risk...

Here’s a quick summary of my trades – of the 8 Demo accounts I’m trading, only 1 had what appears to be a technical problem.

All accounts are using the same settings – V13, 3 Order Setfile, all defaults except MM=True VHighRisk=10,Manual Lots = False GMT Offset: FXDD +3, ATC -4.


All 8 terminals have the exact same settings save the GMT – I create one set file, then use it to set each terminal.

1. FXDD – 00 – No trades, no error log entries.
2. FXDD – 01 3 Long 23:01 GMT @ 1.5098, all 3 still open
3. FXDD – 02 3 Long 23:01 GMT @ 1.5098, all 3 still open
4. FXDD – 03 3 Long 23:10 GMT @ 1.5097,

a. L1 – TP @ 1.5119 (+22)
b. L2 – Still open – No “Order Modify”, no errors in the Journal
c. L3 – Still open – No “Order Modify”, no errors in the Journal

5. ATC – 00 – No trades, no error log entries.
6. ATC – 01 – 3 Long 23:10 GMT @ 1.50969

a. L1 TP @ 1.51189 (+22)
b. L2 TSL @ 1.50979 (+1)
c. L3 TSL @ 1.51074 (+10.5)

7. ATC – 02 – 3 Long 23:10 GMT @ 1.50969

a. L1 TP @ 1.51189 (+22)
b. L2 TSL @ 1.50979 (+1)
c. L2 TSL @ 1.51059 (+10.3)

8. ATC – 03 – 3 Long 23:00 GMT @ 1.50951

a. L1 TP @ 1.51171 (+22)
b. L2 TSL @ 1.50975 (+2.4)
c. L3 TSL @ 1.51057 (+10.6)

The only anomalies are:

1. Two terminals that didn’t trade, one with FXDD & one with ATC.
2. FXDD – 03 – L1 hit TP, but L2 & L3 were not modified with TSL

All 8 terminals are running on the same (XP SP3) machine, 1 EA running Per Account.

Thanks Geoff & Piptician!!

Thanks for the update, Skoda.

I had updated mine to v13 but unfortunately neglected to change the ECN to true, and as a result I got several errors as it was trying to assign a SL at the time it placed an order. The good news is that it attempted to place the orders!

Of course I also set up an IBFX demo (also v13), and wouldn't you know it didn't trigger last night either.

Crossing my fingers that I will actually get to see this thing trade tonight! LOL

FYI Scott (thehenryfarm), v12 of the EA worked perfectly on GoMarkets demo this morning (opening 3 trades and trailing SL working perfectly)....
Prices are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

My own thinking on this is bigger lots and smaller take profit means bigger risk...

I have no idea how to backtest, otherwise I would for you...maybe you can...I can barely figure out simple things at times.

all settings are default but for t/p's which for the three orders are 10, 15, 20...but I may go live with 5, 10, 15...s/l's will prob be 40


when I say bigger lots, i dont mean 50 or 100...I will just start at .1 and work up to 1.0 then maybe 2.0 after $ buildup.


can you test it?

Both ATC and FXDD, live accounts, with CamV2a, got off correctly, I assume, at .5096, and all at the same time; six positions. ATC hit TP for +22 and then prices reverted to down direction and two remaining position were out with +10 and +1, hitting their tSL. The FXDD is another story, however, as after hitting the initial TP and exiting with +22 pips ($), the Traling Stops never functioned correctly. Manually closed trades, finally, with -$3 and -$4 dollars (or pips as 1 pip = $1). Have no idea why FXDD Trailing Stops did not kick in? Was up,...
Same thing happened to me on FXDD live, except that I am still hanging in there with last two trades which at one point were down $1000 total..but they are coming back now..currently down $280. Will ride it out. I use CamV3.
