Steve,

If some people get uneasy about DD etc because their account is under funded or lotsize too big then there is a simple rule to check each time you enter a new trade.

if(AccountMargin() > (AccountFreeMargin()/100)) then stop entering more trades.

Still no trade so I have no idea what's going on. I closed the platform down and restarted but still no trade. I have Steve and Simons EA set to take #1 and #2 trades only.
Toothy, I am really sorry but there is nothing the rest of us can do to help here. The problem is at your end and we have no way of diagnosing it.

I hope you get this sorted out. I am not just saying this. I value your contributions, so I really do. There is simply nothing I can do to help.

Hehe. The student whose contribution led to the MaxTradesAllowed was actually talking about this very thing. I ignored him because I was too lazy to work it out for myself.

The latest latest update in post 1 includes the above. The relevant input is UseScoobsMarginCheck. This will also stop Recovery trades, so it is a bit of a blunt instrument, so let's see how it does for now.

Cheers yet again, scoobs.

Hi

I am using the version modified by MAX just after steve incorporated the ATR filter you can find it in the posts dated 17th September. It is working OK it has taken around 5 trades since Sunday all of which were closed when they hit 30pip SL after mptm modified them (total 150 pips), at present 2 trades open with dd of 90 pips.

Have you tried installing another mt4 from the same or different broker and run it there. This way you can see if the problem is with the particular platform you are using. By the way do not copy and paste all the indicators, experts etc from the old platform to the new one, just import them direct from the source. The reason I am saying this is because once all my platforms in the VPS stopped producing reports! I could not figure out why, tried everything with no results, reinstalled mt4 and copy and pasted the directories with the indicators, ea scripts, templates still no joy. Then I reinstalled and loaded the EAs and Indies and templates individually and it worked. I hope this helps to identify the problem.

kind regards

I need to think about this some more because of the recovery part.

Example:

Work out how much margin is needed per symbol for 0.03, 0.06, 0.12 and divide accountfreemargin() by this figure.

Needs some more thought to be fail safe as you should always assume your new trade will goto recovery.

I have sorted this out, I think.

The StochMacd has a new input, UseStochMacd which should disable the filter if set to false. In conjunction with UseScoobs set to true, this should do as you want. I have not updated the on-screen feedback to reflect these changes, and will address this when I feel like doing so.

In the meantime, if anyone fancies updating the user guide, please feel free to do so.

Many thanks sir, you are absolute heaven sent. I hope everyone appreciates all your hard work. Will put your baby to work straight away and see how it goes.

Kind regards

Dont worry Steve, where I work we use 100.0, 200.0, 400.0.

When it goes well we get big bonus and when it go wrong we still get big bonus and borrow off you the tax payer to cover our end of month balance sheet.

Does this mean I can have my beating session with you for free, or do I still have to play the normal £500?

Here is a good example of Scoobs' filter at work.

WB have been >85 for some time. R has been heading upwards for some time and is showing no sign of abating, but how many of us pay any real attention to reddy?

Looking at Atr, the 5 (red) is clearly above the 200 (yellow), therefore I am staying out.

Or would be, if not already at a L2 Recovery. Let's just say that L3 is not immediately on the cards.

Can you provide some educational enlightenment here, scoobs?

Pulling out the the D1, I see lots of resistance at the 133.4. Then again, I see lots of resistance at lots of other points as well.

So, any idea why this sudden attractionto the 133.4?

You talking about standard pivot resistance i take it ?

At interbank level someone placed 355 M of pending sell orders at 133.400 across the tier 4 banks.

The real answer to your question will be that this is the level that the bond traders want to cover/protect.
