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.
I have not had them the trades on AUDUSD and NZDUSD.
Looking at the diary I have found an error message "zero divide"; I have tried to change more times TF to have increases data but it is not changed anything.

I have tried then to compile the EA (I am using the version n. 32) and I have had these two errors: "Function "GetTheTrend" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file"; "Function "GetRsiTrend" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file."

I don't know if this can help Max to find the solution to the possible problem.

Thank you and best regards.

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?

Weird, I'll stay away from the new version for now until Max can look at it.

Concerning about your idea and I think we have to calculate DailyAtr * Tickvalue
This is a test, there is not so much difference (pair who have more daily range tends to have a smaller PipValue) but enough to take this into account : biggest GY=2267, Lowest SY=903
We can say that a normal DailyAtr*Tickvalue=1000, so we have to multiplier the lot size by 1000/DailyAtr*Tickvalue

Version 32 works fine here - are you sure you have all the necessary custom indicators?

I did a macman and tested NB to destruction today in managing manual trades through Recovery.

I managed to break it quite easily. The fixes are in the post 1 version. Most of these are to do with drawing/redrawing re-entry and breakeven lines etc. It should take over entering the re-entry trades on our behalf.

Just bear in mind that Recovery is subject to many subtle variations that the robot is incapable of recognising. If you manually enter Recovery trades in recognition of this, then NB will do the rest of the work for you - breakeven tp etc.

I hope. It worked on demo today after I broke and fixed it. Over to you, macman.

Steve for the bot not entering recovery trades, is that for all recovery trades? Or is it only once it hits level 4 on the 1.2.4?

Yes and I thank you for this!

Indeed I had not inserted the indicator FX5 MACD DIVERGENCE V1.0; but after having inserted it in the indicator's folder, I have tried to compile the EA and the two messages of errors they continue to be signalled.

We will see Monday, to open markets, if it changes something.

Thanks still!

I have a problem with last versions, sometimes when the bot open a trade, it open the 2 recovery trades in the same minute.
I found that the Rentryline was at -0.068 or something like that.
I have to find why.
I think in the line :
AddReEntryLine=(NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice() - (ReEntryLinePips * Point), Digits) );
it found OrderOpenPrice() =0, so i get a negative value.

STEVE :
Also I deleted the AddRentryLine(Ask) in buy() module, don't understand why we set a rentryline at the actual price ?
Because the re-entry is based on the trade open price, not the current market.

I would like to replace in buy()
AddReEntryLine(Ask);
with
AddReEntryLine(NormalizeDouble(Ask- (ReEntryLinePips * Point), Digits) );

Nice one, Max.

Also AddReEntryLine(NormalizeDouble(Bid + (ReEntryLinePips * Point), Digits) ); to Sell()

Thanks for spotting this. As originally coded, AddReEntryLine performed this calculation, so removing it was a bloop.

Fix in post 1, for the backtesters; definitely needs downloading before markets open.

i'm probabaly gonna upset a few people here and sound really impatient and amateur - but i've BT'd this EA with EURUSD on 5min from 2007 - the results are pretty cool. There was a largish loss in june 2008 - but if that loss is eliminated, this could be a cool scalping tool.

I am probably gonna get a bollocking for saying that - as i sound like I am about to use the EA in a way for which it was never intented. I am not - I am merely experimenting with its potential.

So please dont hurt me...

Anyone else trying alternative time frames or are we all ticking to the 4 hour frame (my only issue with that is the lack of trades - on a back test i'm getting just 1 trade every month).

Hi Max, has v033 fixed all the issues? Can you post it before market open?
Thanks
