skoda,
does anything discussed in the following thread make any sense to you, regarding zero divide? I am a non-coder, so hopefully you'll get something from it.
thanks

Tazmaan,
try downloading the EA and indi, and then put it in appropriate folder.
I cut and paste the code in metaeditior many time before without a problem>> because I'm testing on vps with so many instances.
now Sokoda version 1&2 open trades after I done above steps.

I'm with GoMarkets as well. They had a daily restart issue that stopped sending ticks for around 45 mins, but other than that I'm getting ticks just fine.

Try clicking on the little graph on the bottom right hand part of the screen and click on Rescan servers to connect to the fastest server.

delete your current EA and indi, start fresh download from
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=4031185
also delete gvariables.dat in profiles folder

if that doesn't work, then not sure what else will. my mt4 (fxopen ecn) been running about 4hr, after i do the above steps the trades open immediately, checkout my forwarding link below; version 2 one leg closed and reopen.

Boy!!!
I think the cause is from me using MetaEditor to put stuff into the newly install mt4, it's quick and easy, but maybe ctrl c and ctrl v didn't work too well copy code of Skoda for some reasons.

These versions might fix the divide by zero issue for those that have it. I don't know for sure, because I can't replicate the problem. I'm also using GoMarkets build 226. Although I do have a VPS which has a good ping time, if the speed of price updates has anything to do with it?

For some reason I can't edit my original post, so here they are... (Not that the performance is anything special so far)

I am experiencing the anxious side of Basket14_01 at the moment. After last week's stellar gains of 10% & 12% on my two live accounts, the last basket which opened about 1/2hr before London open on Friday is now hovering around its maximum floating drawdown of 15% on both accounts, despite only two trims. I think the secret to handling this may be to only check on it once a month!

I went live with Basket 14_02 last week. Great start but now also experiencing the anxious side. I mentioned in a previous post that the trade causing me most problems was the first and only (so far) trim and reverse which happened very early in the leg. I queried whether the 24 hr high/low is a rolling 24 hours. Unfortunately no-one answered the question. My concern is if it is a rolling 24 hrs then for some reason this trade hasn't been reversed again as it should have been.

Anyway I would agree with not looking at the account that often - it helps avoid the anxiety.

Yes it is rolling 24 hours (meaning the last 24 hours from your last tick) - looking at the code, it will only trim when the ET has been met AND the biggest loser absolute value is greater than your current profit target AND that pair has exceeded the past 24 hour highest (if a sell)/lowest (if a buy)

e.g.

Biggest Loser = -$15, absolute value is $15, but Profit Target = $20, therefore no trim and reverse

Biggest Loser = -$20.01, absolute value is $20.01, but Profit Target = $20, will trim and reverse

Well, it didn't work for me. I followed that same procedure and I am also on GoMarkets, but I still have no trades open and no comments. I have been running these MC EAs for a long time and have never had this problem. I will try the new ones Skoda posted.

The modified version just posted above by Skoda did the trick for me. Closed the platform without removing EA or closing chart, replaced old EA with new, reopened platform and it immediately opened trades - both 01 and 02. Thanks Skoda

Frazer--I hope this is sufficient info. Let me know if you need more.
That's plenty of info, but the hard way. It would be much easier to print an account statement from the History window and attach that. If you sort the History by close date/time before you run the statement it makes it very easy to see the trims as opposed to the close-alls. If you have run other EAs or traded manually on the account before you started our EA, you would need to first change the data to show a Custom Period starting with the date you started the EA. All of those things can be done by right clicking anywhere in the History window. Let me know if you need more help with that.

Thanks. That should save me a bit of time. Man, I love learning new tricks.

How's this? I use OpenOffice instead of Word, and our host here deems those file types as invalid and won't upload them. So, I converted them to PDFs.
