It is protected by MC's original trim and reverse strategy.

If you right click the pointer anywhere along the heading bar in the terminal you will get a pop up that allows you to check the comments option..

Not normal - check your journal and experts tab for any more errors.

One issue might be your connection to your server is not active.
Check your internet connectivity first then ask your broker last.

Well the ea would not have taken profit until $100 set at percent profit 1.0 on a 10,000 account.... of course if you are using a trade manager I do not know what you have set up...
It took 100 euro or little more 2 time and third time it vent up to 70 euro + and turned back to –20. I putted the manager on whit trail 75% when the basket reach 50 euro. The manager closed at 80+ but the EA did not put any order after that.
What is the right configuration on a Alpari demo. In demo mode its always 1:500 I tried to put it to 0.05 but the EA did not placed 0.05 It placed 0.47 in 12 currency and 0.01 in 2 currency.

Ignore the "Lot" variable when setting up the EA - it is known not to be used.

All that matters for lot sizing is the MaxMarginToUse (%) - It auto calcs the lot size for you.

I'd just like to highlight the fact that the max margin(lot size) calculated is not for all 14 trades - it is in fact for EACH trade.

So with 14 trades going at any one time (minimum - because of the possible further trim and reverse trades), like me, you may want to further reduce the MaxMarginToUse percentage so that the EA calculates for your trading style, a more comfortable lot size for each trade.

Why are you using this Trade Manager anyway? Just let the EA do what it's supposed to do.

If you are using this live, then I can understand your obsession :-P

If you have kept the ProfitPct the same value, then because you have reduced the MaxMarginToUse your equity pops may take longer to produce.

I have worked 18 hour per day in nearly one year for come to the state that I can go live and I'm far from it.
Last month I have study the Russian ideas but I have to translate everything and that takes time. My languages is Swedish and I have not written in English until the last month.

I changed the profitPct to 0.5 and MaxMargin to 0.5

Just look at his code for comments

01 - "Initially, buy the group of pairs with the lower deviation and sell the group of pairs with the higher deviation."

02 - "Initially, buy all pairs with negative deviation and sell all pairs with positive deviation."

I've compared both and that's the only difference.

Personally, I would go with 02.
Thanks, guess i shoulda peeked at the code

Anyway, about my comment about ProfictPct, it was just a comment not a suggestion.

yeah, i think the zero divide error is keeping this from trading. its also not opening any trades here either.
I also grabbed the indicator, threw it on the chart, and it also throws the zero divide error and nothing shows up. Not sure how to fix it, but it's a bug that needs fixing I believe.

People with the divide by zero error, do you have all currency pairs enabled in the "Market Watch" window?

I cannot replicate the error, not even on it's inital start up this morning.

Are you talking about the "Multipair Std Dev from Lin Reg" indicator?

Works for me...

yes, have all pairs shown, and checked the indicator and have all pairs in the indicator on my broker also. using gomarkets.
and yes, that's the indicator I am referring to thegame.
in process of downloading all data history for the pairs the indicator wants, we'll see if that fixes (zero divide on indicator usually refers to not enough history, but not always).
