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.
sandra
Which broker ? Which default settings ?

Thanks,
Piptician

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
That's sounds really good.. But lets do that whatever you are not too busy

For now I see some dudes having STOP_LOSS Errors ( 130 - Invalid stops.) based on

http://www.metatrader4.com/forum/1574

MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)

Because some brokers have "Stop Level" set to 0 (Zero) for some unknown reason..

I think you need additional check for that, since my ATC Stop Level= 9

and IBFX Stop Level=3, I don't have any problems. But whichever broker

for some reason have 0 (ZERO) there, EA will generate Error..

Hey, no problem Time to get the heck out of here, cause

EUR session is closed, and should be no more action till Sunday..

I temperately stuck in some lose trades too, will continue load up on USDJPY.

With some hedge as need it.. This wouldn't stay at all time low area

forever... I need few more dip buys and the go back to sleep and wait

for profit.. Check EURCHF as well.. I have too many positions open,

otherwise I'd be allover that beast.. It's going to 1.40 at least near term

Tokyo16 should take care of all of this already. I have just installed FX Open (demo) on my PC and ran a quick backtest just for this week and it works fine with ECN set to false or true. I do not see any stop loss error messages ...

Can't you just check the box on the Common Tab and says "Ask Manual Confirmation" ?

That should work... I believe a pop up box appears and you can Accept of Decline





Quoting piptician
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

Sky wants to enter at his own price level which is not necessarily the same price, or more importantly the same time, that the Tokyo EA would automatically enter at e.g. he may choose to enter before Tokyo would so there would be no popup.

Yes it does as most of the brokers got Stop Levels set to

positive number like 3, 9 but those who still got errors, their

broker got that Stop Levels set to Zero..

Couple of guys here got this problem, so, yes in 90% cases it should

work fine..

P.S

This guy for example at GoMarkets http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=7042

have that error, because Stop Levels equals Zero.

Another one at FX Open

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=7118

And that's because Stop Levels of those brokers are set to Zero.

P.S

Alright, have a good weekend everyone..

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.
i posted same thing few days ago.. same EA same broker Alpari UK (only 1 is micro the other is classic)..

that was OUCH! today... 3xSL damn....

gbp was highly manipulated all this week and off of corelation with eurusd..
i think next week, 2 days will be enough to refill some $$

Mine hit stops -140 pips x 3 but hey thats how this game is played.

I hedged a few times on EU but its still a great EA.

Some will cry, some will hold fast, some will double up on next order.

I will go kick the office cat, come home beat the wife and feel better.





Disclaimer:Just kidding of course. I'm on demo and even though I treat it as real cash... I love cats.

Good idea there, hope it helps. We got to take the good with the bad.

I was wondering that also.
My IBFX live V14 didnt trade, but my demo V16 traded and lost -140 X 3 ,
I guess i got lucky this time it was only on the demo that took the trade and lost.

You'll make it. I'm usually up between 5 and 7 to place at least one trade. I also like the high probability for profits of this strategy and will usually monitor my entries till they close. This is also my sole source of income and so far, lately, since I got my head and heart aligned, it has been quite profitable.
I take it you are trading the EA live - would be interested to know which version you are using and the settings you are using.

It would also be kinda good to see how it has performed for you.

I am thinking of using this live whilst I continue to build my knowledge of forex and also pay for my bread, water & gruel.

After reading your post about USD/PYM I went to look at this chart and made a quick + 15 pips before the market closed. Friday was a very good day.

Thanks again SKY.

Hi SKY. I made the +15 pips on the daily chart as I was checking the long term trend. Here is the 3 ducks that I use. Not aware of an updated version.
