jive, i agree, it's very inconvenient, but we have just boolean variables to choose from if we need to enter a double value (market/pending, limit/stop etc) so here you have to choose PlaceStopOrder = false (what means it will be not stop but limit)
Thank you. To be able to choose stop or limit for pending order is excellent feature.

Hi Sasha and Sky,

Lots of suggestions here, I would like to share some of mine to see if it can help improve the great ea.

- As Sky mentioned Limit for range and Stop for trend, is it possible to identify by some kinds of indicators? so ea can suggest going for whether Limit or Stop trade is more suitable...

- From GMT17:00 to GMT22:00, the spread of broker increases and volatility of all pairs decreases, is it a good idea to add a function that avoid this ea enters market in user-specified time frame if it's in auto?

- Lots/Risk Calculation similar to original Geoff's ea (I think it's final step after Limits/Stop trade functions done)

Thanks again for all your great effort!

Cheers,
Gary

Until today, this EA has been superb, magnificent, phenomenal. Better than many commercial products that are sold on the web.

Many thanks to the creators, programmers and testers,

i don't want to discourage you, but since you will get a couple of full losses, you will have left a small part of it.

like the backtest for may 2010 - after a first week it increased the balance on 3 times, but at the end of month was in a hard profit

I am quite sure about it...

This is the reason I am only on demo accounts!!

Anyway, I have tested all robots in the forum and no one have a tenth of your result in this period.

I am all default, except for the automatic mode.

I donīt know why, but everytime I try to make a backtest I get a lot of missing matches volumes and other errors, so I am doing a WF observation... Letīs see the results in the end of this month!!

Regards

for now i can only say - the best option is "fast" trailing (since we have no a new mixed one yet), and if you will have to watch the market carefully and change takeprofits to 1 pips or 0 when it will take positions straightly against the trend (or open cover positions to decrease a full 140 pips loss), you might get some not bad results. in many cases, if position opens and first takeprofit was not reached, cable has an opportunity to return and at least touch the initial open price, so here you have to change it. in rarely happened cases, when market rapidly moves opposite and gets to stop loss nothing you can do.

keep in mind, all the brokers use different servers for demo and real accounts and usually it's easier to trade on demo, what the brokers themselves told me. so the best way to prove it is to put it on live account on tiny lot size

Is this using Buy Stop or Limited Buy option??


===

I'd guess no one else trying BUY limit except me at the moment..

===

Sasha, that Buy_Limit_Spread will make a difference, because

sometimes pair never moves down let's say 40-50 pips to fill

those Limited buys.. I think limited buy/sell "spread" should perform

well..

P.S

Please don't mix everything together.. Let the Human EYE to

decide is this a trend or range.. Up to this day "Trend is my friend"

doomsters still have no idea what trend means, cause for every

Time Frame there is different Trend and so different friend as well..

Most traders are following the TREND and yet 95% of them losing money.

Cause trend DON'T MATTER, if you are placing your bets on 20-50

pips movements.. IMHO.

By the way (BTW) My limited buy missed entry by few pips...

This won't happened with "Limited_Buy_Spread"

Yep..

But unfortunately there are a lot of concerns for transfering money to a foreign institutuion from my country...

I am thinking about all the possibilities to do that!

i like the idea but still a little bit unclear how to use it, i mean how to switch between 3 different types of orders place...

for this moment i just see that "fast" trailing going much better than "slow"

Sasha, please stay focus Too much useless questions again..

We need this EA to be simple as possible...

#1 Original Geo Trigger Method (Fractals)
#2 Buy/Sell Stop Orders Options (with trailing)
#3 Or Buy/Sell Limit spread Options (No trailing)

And concentrate on Testing for a while to identify bugs,

if any..
I agree keep it simple when you think about it all you are doing ( and I don't mean to be flipiant) is setting some trading rules on entry and exits.

I am having good success with it as it is and trading only one pair has reduced my risk heaps.


great work but don't over create

As I indicate earlier (maybe you miss that post) we can go by 2

Versions (For now). One strictly for Buy/Sell Stop and the other for Limited

Buy/Sell spread orders...

Basically trader can create 1 template with Buy stop EA on and

2nd template with Limit Orders EA... As for my opinion there will be much

more occasions when Limit Orders can be utilize..

So? don't complicate 1 EA by utilizing all the methods in ONE...


2 simple EA's should do better...


As for me, since Limited Buy Spread EA will take 1st Order at MARKET

(Execute Immediately) I don't think I would use Buy Stop at all...

Cause I will have either get 1st order in profit or get all 3 at better Entry price

(In case pair decide to deep after Trade signal has been generated) IMHO.

P.S:

NO TRAILING needed for Limited Buy/Sell version, since first order placed as soon

as Entry signal gets triggered.
