Thanks Paul. There is a line of code that resets the lot size when the position has closed at BE. I knew it needed adding - I just forgot, so thanks for bringing this up.

The latest version incorporating this bugfix and the one a few posts ago from Simon, is in post 1. I have updated the user guide.

I have also made the automated 2.4.2 recovery an option that users can turn off.

Steve you are outstanding!

Also a huge thank you to everyone who is testing, back testing, forward testing and generally bug finding!

Let me know if there are still problems with the take profit targets.

cheers
Simon

Thought you might be interested in this. I suggest customising the timeframes in the script down to your preferences.

And if anyone asks nicely, I might post my price action scanners.

I am running a backtest and realise that NB is managing Recovery trades the same as it does the rest. It will only take a line of code to sort this out, and I will do so later.

The updated version is still not reverting to original lot size. In addition to this a second subsequent loss did not enter recovery at all (although this may be linked to first problem)

Cheers Paul. It is a tiny logic flaw; I am just testing the fix now.

  • Aug 17, 2010 6:58am Aug 17, 2010 6:58am
Yep, the fix for the lot thingy works - post 1.

It looks as though the tp modification (step 4) now doesn't work instead. Another logic flaw, no doubt.

Yep, I am running a backtest and the Recovery thingy is definitely working properly now.

Post 1, as usual.

Hey guys,

Been testing EURUSD for the year to date and we take a full loss (999 pips) due to a trade taken on the 4th Feb 2010 @ about 10am. Seems like there was plenty of movement after that time to be taking recovery trades and getting out at break even. Maybe I have my settings out (they are the default settings) ... but it obviously isnt operating how I would if I was manually trading it over that period.

Any chance someone could have a look and see if the results are replicated elsewhere?

Cheers.

You are right. It should have closed - but the order was entered without a take profit figure (see the T/P column is blank? that shows your take profit on the order). This means there's a bug in the target setting code.

Did you download the very latest version I uploaded (with Recovery)? Because I have fixed a bug recently that would have caused exactly what you are seeing here.

cheers

Ah I see. I was using the version right before recovery. There should be a T/P entered initially when the trade enters? I thought it was dynamically calculated inside the EA since is it >=50 pips for the exit with possibility for more depending on the BB?

You still need to choose a tp method. If you do not choose one, the robot cannot set one.

No, Steve is right. You need to choose a take profit method by setting the true or false flags in the user settings. It will calculate the take profit at the time of entry based on sixths, bollinger bands, atr, minimumtargetinpips etc depending on what you selected.

The market has gone pretty quiet out there. Don't think it's the EA. Mine has only taken one trade in the last 14 hours - a #4 sell on the AUDNZD. Checking manually I can't see anything that the bot hasn't taken that it should have.

Come on Steve, how about getting the market moving with one of your trillions...

I concur, the market is very quiet for NB v5.3 trades at the moment.

This does happen - when I first tried NB's method (version 4) I used to manually scan all 20 odd pairs, and some days there weren't any trades to take.

GJ looks like it's shaping up though.

Ok. In 34 mins 49 secs, go long on USDNOK. You will have a 3.25 second window of opportunity.

Brilliant! That's very kind of you to let us know. I've just spoken to the wife and she has permitted me to increase my lot size to 0.02 for that one!

Steve,
I have just had two #3 Bulge buys taken off the centre line of the BB, and in one of the cases it was between the gold and green line where it has been set not to trade (i.e. trading outside the gold lines).

Tks
