I have an indicator that is providing me with a visual of the trend trade conditions that I was wanting to look at. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to use this indicator as a signal for an EA...I think I did mention I'm hopeless when it comes to building an EA. If there is anyone who is interested in helping with this project, please PM me. We'll bring any results back to the thread for consideration as the trend component to the ANTI-NB EA.

The pic below indicates, at first glance, that almost every trade can get to at least break even.

Cheers

Thank you for your rare but incisive contributions arbinka. You are proving to be a gem.

I am going to adopt your variable digit code into my robots as I update them. If one criminal is already doing this, it will not be long before others join in the game.

True, I'll have to keep this in mind as well for future Multi Pair EA's.

I didn't sleep last night because I had many ideas in mind

I think that the ReEntryLinePips is very important
Ffirst (in previous versions) I already code an auto calculation for ReEntryLinePips according to the pair range. It's obvious that it's not the same for EurGbp (that have a daily range more or less 60 pips) than for UsdNok (that have a daily range more or less 800 pips).
But I think we can do better. Sometimes the market is calm, sometimes it's nervous. I wanted increase the ReEntryLinePips when the volatility increase, and vice versa. I found that looking at standart deviation is the way. So i added this feature.
I calculate 2 Standart deviations :
Deviationfast (15 period)
Deviationslow (40 period)
Deviationfast is ajusted by x1.5
Deviation is which one is greater
ReEntryLinePips = 2*Deviation (by default, but user can choose other than 2 with param "ReEntryPips_DeviationMult"
if the ReEntryLinePips <DailyATR then ReEntryLinePips =DailyATR ( and we set "market is calm" for next feature)

the second feature is to switch between trading zones according to the market :
if market is calm we trade zoneB (renamed to ZoneGreen), otherwise we trade zoneA (renamed to ZoneGold). In order to use this feature select AutoSwitchZone=true

And the bot works well with criminals that mix 5/4 or 3/2 digits

by the way I made some cosmetic enhancements, look at this beautiful pictures. Rectangles rather than lines for better reading on main chart.
And for stock we have the dark red and green zones for Blue line and White line trigger, bright red and green zones for smacd squalou trigger

just changed a little thing :
I allow to use Trademanagement module (ie BE, TS) even if we are in the recovery (opentrades>1). I fell better to breakeven and trail the recovery trades
Minnor update, only if you like, but not stupid, because if the revory trade close at BE, anyway the bot will reopen one sooner or later, may be with a better price

I didn't change the defaults...
but the bot opened a buy CADUSD and opened all 3 recovery trades after a DD of about 2 pips...
Any idea?

Not so sure about closing the Recovery trade before its' time because then on "Recovery Re-opens" your always going re-fight the spread.

Yes but when trade #1 is -200 and recovery is trying to make this up, I just feel that closing recovery at +6 then re-open another for +6, etc when trying to cover the spread again and again is being a little counter productive but maybe will work, I guess we can test it or maybe have the option in your EA for both scenarios selectable to the user.

I think I'm going to add in another order check line to limit Max New Orders;
if (OrdersTotal() >= MaxNewOrders && !RecoveryInProgress) return(true);

because I'm running a small Live account, which by the way went from $30 to $110 over the past few weeks with this system and since I'm running it on like 10 pairs I do not want to take the chance of the account getting into margin calls because of too many orders opened by too many pairs. So at least this way I can have a few orders open only but if they need to go into a recovery order then should still allow it. If you guys feel it's a good option then you can add it as well.

Have you thought about adjust your lotsize based on a currencies ATR ?

May not be needed for the more experienced traders out there but it would stop the worry concerned with GBPJPY, EURAUD, EURCAD etc when they move against your positions.

Example: Your default lotsize is 0.05. You want to open a trade for GBPJPY should divide 0.05 by this pairs ATR to get 0.05/2.183 = 0.02 rounded. Whereas your lotsize for EURCHF would be 0.05/0.0092=5.43, so you would stick with your original default lotsize of 0.05 because it is the lower of the two.

Obviously your profits maybe lower but then you wont freak out as much when the more volatile pairs start to make your DD look like a countries national debt.

Anyhow, just a thought.

Over the course of a month I dont think your profits will be down that much as the number of different currency trades should even it out somewhat.

For MT4 I think the syntax would be Lots = MathMin(DefaultLots,DefaultLots/iAtr(symbol,200,0));

But I could be wrong.

Scoob,

that's not enough, we have to take into consideration the pipvalue also
Some pairs have a bigger Atr but a low pip value, that is more or less the same results.
So we have to check Atr*pipvalue

Anyone else's bots not placing a short on the NZDUSD and AUDUSD pairs with Steve's robot? With Maxou's version it placed a short on both. I took a look at the charts with the one runnign Steve's version and everything lines up perfectly for a trade though none was taken. I even get the little arrows signaling when to enter on the MACD divergence.
