Is there anyone who could walk me through the installation step by step on IBFX MT4? I have tried reinstalling the platform and I still can't seem to get this EA working. I'm getting frustrated because I've used it before.

All my EAs were developed on IBFX. However, they have switched to 5 digit pricing from 4 digit pricing and that will take some rework on certain EAs. The first thing you should try is set the SL and TP to 0 and see if that works. If it does then you need to get Steve Hopwood's MPTM and it will set you TP and SL after the trades are entered.

Scooby Doo gave this heads up:

Nothing todo with this system but.....be very carefull trading any system with real money going into Friday as Eurozone bank stress test data will be published. What the fcuk does that mean I here some asking....

It means everyone will find out how good/bad the levels of European bank debt is.

Every day we gamble (to some extent) but I think on Friday I will place some HUGE....HUGE....HUGE....HUGE....NO BIG....NO BIGGER trades.

Scoobs.

Not only has IBFX switched to 5 Digit, but they also implemented something that they are calling "Core". Effectively making IBFX a Semi ECN broker. As such any EA that attempts to:

Send Slippage
Send TP
Send SL

With the trade will not work. After being frustrated by this all day yesterday I finally found a work around with "some" of the EA's I use.

Note that simply changing the TP, SL, and Slippage to 0 doesn't always work, as some EA's pass those parameters through converters and add decimal places to them, which will in turn cause the EA to no initiate any trades.

All,

I had already worked on a fix to this EA's code for use with MB Trading. Here are the changes you can make to the code to work properly on IBFX MT4:

1. Change
void OpenMarketOrders()
{
int cnt=0;


To


void OpenMarketOrders()
{
int ticket;
int cnt=0;


2. Change


OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,mylotsi,SellPrice,slippage,sl,tp,"MyMEFxEA"+MagicNumber,MagicNumber,0,ArrowsColor);

return(0);


To


ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,mylotsi,SellPrice,slippage,0,0,"MyMEFxEA"+MagicNumber,MagicNumber,0,ArrowsColor);
Sleep(1000);
if (ticket!=-1) OrderModify(ticket, OrderOpenPrice(),sl,tp,0,0);
return(0);






3. Change


OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,mylotsi,BuyPrice,slippage,sl,tp,"MyMEFxEA"+MagicNumber,MagicNumber,0,ArrowsColor); return(0);


To


ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,mylotsi,BuyPrice,slippage,0,0,"MyMEFxEA"+MagicNumber,MagicNumber,0,ArrowsColor); Sleep(1000);
if (ticket!=-1) OrderModify(ticket, OrderOpenPrice(),sl,tp,0,0);
return(0);





I am not a programmer so I can't really troubleshoot any problems people are having with this change, but this has worked for me. Hope this helps some people. Also be sure to add a zero to your TP, SL, Distance & Pips to account for the extra digit.

If you have a working EA could you please post it. Save me some time so I can work on other things.

Here you go. This is a modification of Sixths EA v3.2z. Renamed to Sixths EA v3.3f.

It's taking new trades and setting TP and SL.

Go to the top of your MT4 and you will see two magnifying glasses. They zoom in and zoom out your chart. Hit the one with the + sign once or twice and your chart will look better. When you get the one you like looking at save that template for your use. Remember the EAs are hard coded to a TF so even if you use a different TF for your viewing chart the EA will always trade the same TF it was coded for. So a 15M EA will always trade the 15M chart even though you may be viewing the 1H chart.

thanks bob, but i know this, for sure.
what i mean is this: for eg nzd/usd you recommend the M30. ok, i choose the M30 EA and place the template. but as you see in the upper right corner of the chart, it alwys says 3L M15 (and not M30 or whatever). is this a problem?
thanks in advance

ok, if you choose the template with a eg H1-EA, it always uses the M15-EA. but when you choose the H1-EA after this from the navigator, you get the H1-EA and it appears in the upper right corner.
sorry for disturbing you, bob.
go on with your great work!

Yes that is the 15M EA. If you want to use the 30M EA you need to drag that one to your chart. The 15M 30M 1H etc will tell you which TF EA you are using. If you want to change the TF you are trading you have to change the EA also. The EA will work with any currency pair, you choose which TF you want to trade by choosing the EA for that TF. So get the 30M ea and put that on your screen.

Anyone have any optimal settings for the EA they've been having success with recently? I did well the first day, but it's been awful since then.

This is a news driven market so it is rough on ranging EAs like this. I use the 180 x 100 because it handles these types of markets better.

Trending market, getting whacked. Will retrace soon I am somewhat certain. Just hold on and don't over leverage and you will be fine. I am hedging and making good money on those!

Bluemele,

I have customized my own EA. I posted one of them a while back.

Basically, I use the trailing stop gap entries using 260 bars on 4H timeframe.

I customized it so the first one is using that for TP and reentry, but after L1, I bump up the reentry higher typically to say 320 for GBPJPY, 240 EURUSD, 240 AUDUSD etc...

I have tested and this makes the most sense to me. I am trading live which you can see below in my signature and using .01 lots @ 10 cents per lot. I have a juicy drawdown now and hope to recover soon with AUDUSD and GBPUSD retracing. I don't know if I expect them to retrace to where I need them to, so I may manually close.

About 60% of this trading is now manual as I have spent a few months learning how to trade this type of EA with my own Price action abilities...
