DislikedI had the same problem. I think they are left overs from switching over to the panel. I deleted them and haven't had a problem since. Just hover over them and right click. select object list. The ones labeled onesixth twosixth etc. belong to the panel. I deleted ones that started with the currency pair, for example GBPCHFonesixth.
If I remember correctly
hope this helpsIgnored

Hi Mart,
if I go into the parameters I can select more than one EA (e.g. activate EA1 and EA4) for the next entry. Will then the conditions of all EAs be checked or only one of them?
If you activate EAs via right mouseclick, it is only possible to activate one EA for next entry...

Oliver
PS:
For what conditions do you use the #5 and#S EA?

If you tell me that you weren't using version 1, then we are in the twilight zone
Just delete them (lines that start with the pair name) and you'll be fine.

From the contextual menu, only one a time.
EA5 as per Bob method:
MA = iMA(Symbol(),0,1,0,MODE_LWMA, PRICE_MEDIAN,0);
MA1 = iMA(Symbol(),0,1,0,MODE_LWMA, PRICE_MEDIAN,1);
MA30 = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_H4, 3, 1, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_MEDIAN, 0);
MA31 = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_H4, 3, 1, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_MEDIAN, 1);
BUYme = Ask > MA30 && MA31 > MA;
SELLme = Bid < MA30 && MA31 < MA;
To simplify it's only a cross of 1MA with a 3MA
EAS isn't part of Bob's method:
This EA fire a BUY trade when the Stochastic 7-3-3 cross the 15 level to the up. It fires a SELL trade when Stochastis 7-3-3 cross the 85 level to the down. I sometime use it to catch reversal on primary trade and some "out of rules" trades in the no mans land
Disadvantage of this EA: signal is late.
It's up to you to use it or not

It's possible to activate more EA from the parameters. If you activated 2 EA for example, the first that met his condition will fire a trade.

BUYme = Ask > MA30 && MA31 > MA;
SELLme = Bid < MA30 && MA31 < MA;

What I still do not understand and hope you can explain me is the difference of entering trades by cross of 1MA/3MA from the #4 EA (besides the entering at touch of BB) and #5 EA. When I look into the code, I see this:
if(EA4) {
BUYme = Ask < BBdown || (Ask > MA30 && MA30 > MA);
SELLme = Bid > BBup || (Bid < MA30 && MA30 < MA);
if(EA5) {
BUYme = Ask > MA30 && MA31 > MA;
SELLme = Bid < MA30 && MA31 < MA;
How does the additional shift of the MA31 in #5 EA affect the entering?
Could only be marginal...Are there any other differences between the #4 and #5? I assume that the martingale function with automatic re-entry is disabled anyhow.
So we would not really need the #5 EA, right?

Oliver

Hi Mart,
just one more find.
The part close with TP2/TP3 is not working correctly...
My settings are:
TP.Mode 0
TPallmode.BEpips 25
TPmode0.TakeProfit1 40 (breakeven+25 at 40 pips)
TPmode0.Lots1r 0
TPmode0.TakeProfit2 50 (close 50% at 50 pips)
TPmode0.Lots2r 50
TPmode0.TakeProfit3 75 (close 50% at 75 pips)
As result, the whole trade (100%) was closed at 50 pips...and not 50% at 50 pips, rest at 75 pips.
Could you look into this, please?
Thanks and regards,
Oliver

Then, for example, if your lot is 0.01
50% of this lot is 0.005, if 0.005 is less then the minimum lot your broker accept as a valid lot (let say it's 0.01) then all the order is close.
Let me know if this is the case, otherwise I'll investigate, but I use take profit level everyday without any problems. Just want to be sure I'm not just lucky

Ok, Mart. Thanks for the answer.
What I still do not understand and hope you can explain me is the difference of entering trades by cross of 1MA/3MA from the #4 EA (besides the entering at touch of BB) and #5 EA. When I look into the code, I see this:
if(EA4) {
BUYme = Ask < BBdown || (Ask > MA30 && MA30 > MA);
SELLme = Bid > BBup || (Bid < MA30 && MA30 < MA);
if(EA5) {
BUYme = Ask > MA30 && MA31 > MA;
SELLme = Bid < MA30 && MA31 < MA;
How does the additional shift of the MA31 in #5 EA affect the entering?...
But to resume (I'm sure Bob could explain that better than me): shifting the indi is just a way to catch the cross a little bit faster.
In my case, I use EA4 when MA1 is inside BB, when there is a BB run and that I want to be sure to catch a trade when price will reverse and when there is a chance that the price doesn't touch the BB. It happens! I use it too when I judge the last situation couldn't happen even if there is no BB run (but it's me and not necessarely based on Bobs rules
).EA5 same conditions but when MA1 is outside BB. As soon as price reverse and MAs cross together), trade is taken. This way, with EA5 I don't have to wait that the price touch the BB from the outside.
I assume that the martingale function with automatic re-entry is disabled anyhow.

Hi Phover,
please see attached pic. It shows only two weeks chart while in MT4 it shows 4 weeks. any configured i need to do in order to show 4 weeks chart?
Thank you!
Attachment
It's a only a partial screenshot. The info you see is correct but it shows only a portion of the actual screen.
No adjustment available. These screenshot are there only as an overview of actual price position. I use them just to see where price is going and double click the line to make the chart popup in MT4 for better analysis
Cheers,
Mart

If the panel doesn't show EA5-7 and S it's because you are running v1 of the dashboard. Installation directory of panel v2 is different then v1. Just check which exec you are running...
Mart
rogram FilesNH4PANEL2NH4PANEL.exe") I just do not know what idiotic thing I have done! They say little knowledge is dangerous, I am the classic example.Kind Regards
P.S. The panel shows EAs 5, 6, &7 on the menu but the circles do not show, furthermore, the EA settings within the panel are empty. As I said tried reinstalling with no JOY. Short of reinstalling mt4 I have no other ideas, however, due to many open trades do not want to reinstall.
astral77,
Not sure if this will help, but....
Close down your MT4.
Go to Directory of MT4/experts/indicator
Delete the mqlcache.dat file (or rename it just incase you need it later)
Go to Directory of MT4/experts
Delete mqlcache.dat and both the MLFX_NH4_Manager.mq4 and MLFX_NH4_Manager.ex4
Copy a new copy of the MLFX_NH4_Manager.mq4 into the expert directory
Restart you MT4 and the panel.
See if that clears up the problem

Order is close at 100% at any TP level IF the calculated lot (here 50% of your lot) is less then the Minimum lot your broker can accept.
Then, for example, if your lot is 0.01
50% of this lot is 0.005, if 0.005 is less then the minimum lot your broker accept as a valid lot (let say it's 0.01) then all the order is close.

As I set the close for TP2 to 50% and TP3 to 50%, the lotsize was not less than then the minimum lotsize. So normally the trade shouldn't be closed totally at TP2...
Could you please investigate?
Thank you...

Oliver

You can also do a global search for files with extension .nh4 (*.nh4) & delete them all - may help .... else I guess it is a case of remembering the 1st rule of computing:
