I am running V16 and V9 on 2 IBFX live accounts. That is 4 EAs in total. I was going to ask why only on of the EAs (v16) triggered trades last night... Just hit the 140 SL....
I am now happy only one triggered.... Saved me a ton of real $$$.

Do continue to wonder how one EA will trigger and another won't.. same broker.

Sky. As I said I made a stupid trade and went short at 1.5239 on 7/15 at 1:45 pm EST. I saw prices move to the 140 stop loss but because i was not over leveraged I removed my stop loss as I knew prices were going to go down again. ( what goes up must come down )

Is that what you call scalping, then I guess I am.

Sky, what do you think about the break-out of EUR/GBP....that looks quite bullish right now, means GBPUSD will underperform any assault of EURUSD 1.3000 lvl....you agree?
Roman and Sky,
You two were an inspiration to me today! I checked out the EUR/GBP and it was good.
Thank you.

Oh well, shit happens. I'm flat. Lesson learnt today: never trade on fridays.

Thanks Piptician for adding the total risk in the new EA. I like it a lot. Now if I can get it to trade on my IBFX account I would like it better. At least now I can see the arrows and thumbs.
Hi Gerry,

Glad you like the display of the Total Risk. I always check this once I have Tokyo up and running to make sure I have set it up right - it has saved me a few times already !

I don't know what's wrong with your IBFX account. I have an IBFX demo account and it makes trades OK although there are some loosing days that I don't see on Alpari UK. Presumably it's your live IBFX account that is the issue

Anyone else out there able to get TokyoXX running on a live IBFX account ? Can you help Gerry out ?

Thanks,
Piptician

Can you post a screenshot of this so I can compare it to Alpari UK ?

Yeah, I used to search script or Indy or EA for TRAILING BuyStop/

Sell Stop

set it above/below price 20 pips and trail down/up when it pops/dips, then

Buy/sell executed

I wish I could just turn ON Expert Advisers and Tokyo Execute trades on demand..
Hi Sky,

So what you want is for Tokyo to have a manual entry mode where it does not enter trades automatically but instead goes long or short when you press a particular key on your keyboard ? Once the trade is has been entered in this way, Tokyo takes over and handles the stop trailing etc until the positions close ?

If this is what you'd like, and there is enough demand, I may be able to find some time after my summer vacation to grant you your wish

Yeah, basically I have Sashasan indicator, which shows me every hour

if Fractals and EMA's allign for the trade, (if trade signaled) then I look

over my Trend Indy

and, if I see GO, then I'd like just enable Expert Advisors and

Tokyo EA take trades immediately, perhaps some Variable

TradeOnDemand= false ( by Default) but if true, then no check

just take the trades and proceed from there as usual...

Just ones on EA Activate or Initialize or whatever "event" is available for this in MetaQuotes.

I just don't see how it possible to have some

kind of button or other trigger, other than what I describe above..

I hope you got the Idea..

Thank you.

piptician,
v16 was like a dead duck last night. I had him on the 5m and he looked good but didn't show any signs of life. All the info on the left was there but he didn't give any signals. No arrows, no thumbs, no sign about sma's being aligned, and he didn't trade. The night before he had traded and all I did was change the settings to default......Now I'm glad he didnt, but why would he not give any signals?
Thank you.

This is kind of hard to see but, if you look at the low of the 5th bar after the green triangle on your chart you will see it is at the same level as the low 2 bars before it - so this means no M5 fractal.

Now compare it to the one I posted from my IBFX demo chart. You will see that the 5th bar is marginally lower than the low 2 bars before and after it so there is an M5 fractal and this triggers the trade.

Given what happened today it's just as well it did not trade. Especially considering you appear to be risking 24.84% of your account

I write this few times already:
In your EA Tester click on button "Symbol Properties" for Cable
in pop up window (settings) "Stops Level" value must be greater than ZERO. ATC have value 9 and your FX open probably ZERO.. So EA should have initial check for that
if Stops Level=0 then blahh, blahh..

for some of the Brokers..
MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)

That "MODE_STOPLEVEL" should be >0 Or if it ZERO then Stop_Loss must be set few pips away..
Well, that's all and good, Sky, but if you remember, we don't have access to the .mq4 code, thus are unable to make any changes to it whatsoever. Thanks for letting me know the cause of the errors though.

Hi Sky,

I have been giving this some thought and think it will be possible to create 2 scripts e.g. Tokyo_BuyNow and Tokyo_SellNow which can be bound to say Ctrl-B and Ctrl-S (or whatever ctrl keys you want). These scripts will set an MQL4 global variable which the Tokyo EA checks for every tick and will open the positions as soon as it sees that the global variable is set.

That's the theory anyway ...

Piptician. This live account is a small one and if I lose I don't really care. All back testing result has said that there was only 1 loss in a 12 month period so my odds are good.
