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)...

sky, i understand all this, but think it can be all-in-one, what you think?

Yes, could be.. Just need to eliminate that trailing Buy Limit

(previous version) and think how we can possibly utilize

both methods in one EA without complicating things...

Lets take our time and think about architecture of events,

to make it clear and smooth.. We can do it... No hurry..


P.S. Let me know, if you approach to some kind of a problem..

Hi Sash,

Can I firstly say that the effort you are putting into this EA is tremendous and appreciated by all.

I just wanted to ask if you could put the EA name in the comments field when the order is taken out.

Thanks again

Hi Sash,

When the original Tokyo EA entered a trade the comments field was populated with the name of the EA. see the attached image

It would be useful to have a similar comment in the trade on entry

Thanks

I have just returned from the land of nod and see you have v4.4. You are amazing. Thanks so very much for your efforts.

DocJordan, my results from yesterday show a similar result to yours - I am using 4 pairs where you appear to be using 6. Something happened on the way to the bank!! Sashasan dropped by!! Is this the holy grail or what?

This EA is working so well. I would like to suggest that we all work with what we have and try and see if tweeking the settings can improve the results and stop asking Sash to continually alter the code. Suggestions on fine tuning based on forward testing would be welcome I'm sure. I am not a great fan of backtesting even with 90% data.

Ohh, man... How about that... Either babysit your trades on manual

mode, or switch it to Auto.. By asking for modifications, every time

you think it should or Shouldn't display this or that, - valuable programming

time spending on less important things..

Stay on MANUAL trade mode ONLY while you can watch your trades..

And if you can't, - either switch EA OFF. OR, let it trade on AUTO mode

and don't bother, - OK???? Period.

P.S.

Sasha, let's concentrate on main concept...

Let's not run this thread into "What, Where, When" - Russian program, you know

what I mean

I like pending orders so I can watch the trade direction. I then can add a manual trade waiting for the pending to trigger if I am pretty sure of the direction of the trade. Nothing fancy but it works for me.

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...
sky, one more, actually last question - this setup will work only with 3 orders or with 2 also (1 market and 1 limit)?
