I was thinking if it was Windows 7 then it has some strange security quirks. For example one thing I found is when I download an EA for examples from the web directly to the MT4 Experts folder everything seems to be ok. But when I try to find it later with Explorer it is not there! I found that if I download the EA to my network storage drive then copy it over it works!

Hi Bluemele

I had a look at the settings and saw you set TP1 to 500 pips. I am guessing you want the TSl to manage most trades which is fine.

But my understanding of the TSL mechanism in the panel is that it kicks in at TP1 (configurable in TS_StartAtTPLevel). If this is correct then with your settings TSL will never kick in?!

Not clear on what you mean? I have it set at tp1?

Seems to work fine....

Perhaps it is my missunderstanding. I understood that by setting TS_StartAtTPlevel = 1 then the TSL mechanism starts when TP1 level is hit. TP1 is the parameter TPmode0.TakeProfit1 which you have set to 500. In my mind this means the TSL mechanism does not start working until TP1 is hit, i.e. profit >= 500.

If it works then all good and please ignore this, although in this case I have to look at it again

Perhaps Phover can clarify.
Sorry for the confusion.

You are right.

If you want trailing to be engaged from the beginning, set the value
TS_StartAtTPlevel=0
this way, no need for price to reach the takeprofit1 before trailing start.

Thanks for your help with the download earlier Mart. Got it going on my Alpari demo account (can see the pairs) but cant see any pairs on the NH4 panel while using my live account brokers platform. I made sure that all template, ea, and indicator files are identical on both MT4 set-ups. I also ensured that the panel was looking at the correct MT4 folder.

I believe that the trouble might be caused by the dot (full stop) following the name of each pair. This is how my broker sends the pair names.

I have had trouble with the dot before when trying...
Could be the problem.

I use the Symbol() function in manager EA for file name and I add .nh4 as the extension, then the file name become (example)
EURUSD..nh4

I'll do some testing on my side. If that's the problem, I'll do a patch to correct that.

Hi Mart,

I love the panel more and more, really great piece of work!!!

There might be another little bug thingy in the current version:

This morning when the panel (in basket mode) tried to close 2 trades (e.g. for BE), it only closed 1 open trade because there was a requote at the same time from my criminal...so the other trade went on (...luckily into profit ).

Could you fix that in the next version? Perhaps some retries for closing the trades in case of requotes?

Thanks and regards,
Oliver

Thanks Mart.

I looked in the directory "...experts\files" for MT4 that is associated with the "not working" nh4 panel. I could not find any *.nh4 files. I then copied the *.nh4 files from the "ok" (Alpari Demo Account) folder into the "not working" ....expert\files folder and the pairs in that .nh4 file then showed on the NH4 panel for the live account.

I hope that makes sense Mart and hope it helps you.

Thanks again,

Mike.

Hi Mart,
I have been following Bob's system for the last couple of months and using your Panel for the last 3.1/2 weeks - Many thanks, its superb!

One small observation regarding the latest update:
I have noticed a number of trades being closed at +5 pips (sl).
The parameters show the SL Trailing Mode 0 off, but I then noticed that the Stop Loss / Trailing is ticked, when left clicking the Panel TP column.

Should the parameters show SL Trailing Mode = 1

No. It's ticked (in the contextual menu) cause your BreakEventAt value is different of 0. Lockpips is 5 by default. Set TS_BreakEventAt=0 to disable breakeven feature.

In the hope to solve the issue you have, just for you to test, find attached a BETA version of the manager. Please, don't use it live!

- To install it, just download the 2 files and put them in the experts folder
- Quit and restart MT4 to make the ea available in mt4 list.
- Start the NH4 dashboard.
- Select a chart in MT4, let say EURUSD 4H
- Drop the beta ea on this 4H chart.

Now, if it works, you should see a file in the expertsfiles directory and the panel should show the EURUSD pair. Note that you WON'T see the "." at the end of your pair name (I have filtered them out).

If you see the pair, try some commands:
- add a market order with the panel
- close it with the panel (Close ALL)
- start an EA with the panel, check to see if the green ea light lite
- change some parameters in the parameters screen, verify that the change reflect in the parameter screen after.
- just want to be sure that changing the name of the pair doesn't affect the operation...

Let me know.

Mart

Hi Mart. That test EA seems to be working ok. I have tried a few manual buy // sell commands - no problem. Sorry I don't have time right now to check everything (checking the EA invocation will need a bit more time) but will get back to it later. I would say it will be good but I know I need to test it a bit more. Thank you so much for your time and effort. You are a true Gentleman:-)

I presume that I will not use this ea permanently but if it checks out ok you will incorporate changes to your standard file and issue a new revision. Is this correct??

Regards,

Mike.

It seem that I'm not able to set a proper trailing stop
I've tried what u guys suggested but it doesn't work.
When the price hit 40 pips it just put a stop loss on the lock pips setup (30).
Instead I would like to have the stop loss to follow the price behind 15 pips.
Can someone pls explain me better what parameter I must use for this case?
Thanks in advance.
