US brokers require you to close order first in first out(FIFO). So what I would like the EA to do is - close the oldest open orders first when it tries to close any orders for a certain pair. If it closes the orders based on Pair/MagicNumber or Pair/Ticket Number, it sometimes may to close newer orders before closing older orders. Theoretically the older orders should be more in profit and then the newer ones. I'm not positive if this what is happening, I'm looking for guidance from the EA creators. Thanks!
TCO,

Your observations are correct on FIFO, as I have mentioned previously in this thread. I don't have any opinion on FIFO implementation for future versions of SSS;

1) I don't know how difficult it is to implement (xux99 and I will discuss offline)
2) The moving target of the NFA is a merry go round I do not wish support or engage in.
3) US FX market is headed down the toilet with a good chunk of capital moving offshore.

Thanks,

Thank you getdown71 and xux99 for your generosity in sharing the SSS EA.
I have been demo testing the EA for 30 days now and my findings are as follows.
The broker is IBFX and I am running the EA with the set files with no alterations.
The account has gone from $5K to $9.8K in the month and there are around$4.7K of open negative trades at present. For about 3 weeks the open trades sat at around $1.6K negative, but in the last week I have been experiencing a jump in the open negative trades.
Can you please advise if what I am experiencing is what you and others are finding that is taking place.
Do you recommend any manual intervention from time to time?
Your comments would be very welcome.
Thanking you
PipBear

Hi Getdown71 and XUX99,

Guys, great EA. Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to go live with V8. However, do you guys think you could have SSS V8 close the oldest orders first when multiple orders are open? I use Alpari US and they inforce the FIFO rules. I have to manually close orders when there are more than one open. I think alot of the trades are missing potential profit because of the delay to manually close the trades. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

Eric

The right answer is switch brokers and let the US brokers suffer for their indifference to their customer's needs.

I may have to switch brokers. However, closing the oldest orders first shouldn't have a net difference on profit and it shouldn't be that hard of a coding change, if you are closing orders anyways. You need to close by pair and position. I just thought i would be a nice change for those of us testing this EA. Thanks!

1.08 has an expiration date 1 October 2010. Are you going to release a new version after that? When 1.08 will allow live trading?

Some pairs make use of the LPMM, some do not.

Live trading ex4 (with 3 month expiry) will be enabled next week.

Hi Guys,

I just set the EA to open 1 trade at a time for each pair. I think that will work great. This EA is very profitable and I'm not the greedy. You guys should check my MT4i statement. This EA is doing very well in demo. Thanks guys so much for sharing your hard work.

Eric,

Glad to hear you are having great success! SSS strategy eats volatility for breakfast; you now know it to be true.

I have noticed you are using pairs that I have not made an optimized set file for. Best of luck on this front; uncharted territory!

v1.08 set files have been posted and some pairs do use LPMM to squeeze every last pip out of a trend.

Meanwhile what broker are you using again ?

Thanks,

Hi Getdown71,

I'm using Alpari US. I noticed that sometimes the on screen profit level is in yellow and I see the price has gone thru that price level but the trade wasn't closed and then the trade sometimes goes into a loss. It this because LPMM is activated? I have a current trade open for EURCHF where this is occurring.

Thanks - Eric.

Next version (v1.09) we will add a text status for LPMM so you can see if it's active or not.

I'm getting good performance out Alpari US demo as well.

thanks,

Woah, maybe we have live trading enabled; xux99 was the live account enabled in the last v1.08 installer ?

If so, all is good to go for the next 3 months, if not we will post ex4 next week.

Have you been getting trades with SSS on your live account zealvix?

Yea, the 2 pairs are euraud and gbpusd m5. sss 1.08 with 1.06 settings with LPMM on. Using FXOpen Micro (cents account)

Btw, will there be 1.08 setfiles for the other pairs in the future or are they no longer recommended with 1.08?

Just remembered another question, does sss check only symbol and magic number before interfering with trades? Cause I seem to remember gu m5 ea interfering with GU m30 trades if they have same magic number and the new setfile package have the same number for them, might be something wrong with my memory though.

Hey Getdown71,

Are/Did you have issues with FIFO, on ALPARI US, if so how did you resolve it or do you close those multiple trades manually. Also, I haven't had any new trades for awhile. Is that because it is Friday, or are the conditions currently not condusive or SSS?

Thanks for all your help and responses.
