NH4 Dashboard v2

Thank you for this excellent dashboard phover! It's one of the best software I have ever used. I have been using it for awhile now and it has been great! I think I may have found an error. On Sept 22 I turned on the #2 Ea for a trade that I saw coming at a later time since I would not be at the computer. If you look at the red arrow, it looks like it took the trade when the price crossed back into the BBands. The 1 Ma did not cross back into the bands into later after price went above the gold line. I think I am using a early version of v2 as it...
Mine did the same. I believe it is because the 1MA did cross the BB band, but due to the market quickly reversing it gives the illusion that it didn't.

Basically these are not based off of Bar Close, but off of Open price. So, it just barely entered you and me too! Bummer huh...

1 MA did cross otherwise no trade can be place with #2. I'm not using previous candle to confirm signal, but price action (current candle), then if MA goes inside BB even for 1/10 of a second, a trade is place. Yeah bummer

If you don't want that to happen you can do the following:

1. Change the code on the #2 to use Close[1] I believe would be the proper bar.

2. Use #7 EA.

3. Watch and decide if you want the entry or not.

When I put my EA's on now as I am getting more practice with the nb 5 system from the 4 system, I tend to wait till it is say a bit greater than the minimum reEntry.

So, if ReEntry is 200 pips, I will usually either watch it and go in manually, or I will wait till it is at least 220/230 pips before I put #2, #5 and especially #7 for Reentry.

That way you don't whack yourself. You can also just put in a manual Sell limit order at a certain price (or buy limit if market is heading down) if you want to average in your price without too much drama.

Another challenge I see is when the market moves very quickly on a spurt and it is just over your Minimum ReEntry say by 10 pips. Well, if it moves down quickly and you have #5 on, it will cost you some serious pips. I made that obvious mistake and I probably lost 60 pips on the recovery trade and I ended up being in around 155 pips instead of 210! I should have just manually put in the trade.

These do need baby setting sometimes, but usually they will do the job without you reasonably well.

Mart,

Can you help me do a review of my TS/TP?

I have attached the nh4 set file to this.

Basically, for this pair I am asking to set:

Max TP 500 pips
Trailing Stop starts at 40 pips with 5 pip step
Jumping BE Pips starts @ 40 pips and moves to 30

The reason I want confirmation is because I am somehow not getting the BE Jump to 30 when it is hitting 40 pips, but I will continue watching it as I haven't had a whole of of success reaching that 40 lately on too many currencies!

I have had about 3 39's with spread! hahah....

Hi bluemele,

I just had a look at your settings and corrected them. Please look attached.

You need to set the trailing stop to 10 pips (= 40 pips - 30 pips), because you want the TS start at level 1 = 40 pips with a lock of 30 pips at this point. I also struggled with the TS, but now I believe I got it.

The value "TPallmode.BEpips" can either be set to "0" or "30" (same as in the SL settings).

BTW, I use the same settings...

This one should work exactly the way you described.

I hope Mart can confirm this.

Cheers.

Oliver

Oliver,

It hasn't been setting to BE + 30 @ 40 pips, and I guess I don't understand what setting that could be that is stopping it?

Any specifics?

I will put in your settings! Thanks!

Bluemele,

you had the trailing stop set to 40 pips. This would set the stop loss to 40 pips as soon as level 1 is reached. Level 1 is 40 pips, so the stop loss is moved to 0 (zero) and not to +30 pips as you wanted!

I see. I didn't wait for it to come back to find out. I missed out on about 200 pips over the last couple days because of that.

I just lost 500 pips on a .01 and .1 mistake because I have two different instances ($1 per pip and .10 cents per pip)

Any idea how to fix that from changing each time I flip over?

Nope.

This questions must be answered by master Mart.

Hi bluemele,

You are using 2 accounts with the panel if I understand correctly?
And the screen to place an order always show you the last lot value you entered? Ok, use the version I sent you yesterday, I think you'll like it ;-)

I'm not sure that using v3 will help in any ways to trigger a reversal... at least, you'll better see the red numbers at the screen

v3 is ready. Still some things to test and I'll release it. It will be a pre-version cause it won't content all the new stuffs I want to code in it but at least, a lots of bugs and suggestions have already been solved/included.

I think you'll like it.

See pic: v3 shows orders detail for each pair, target profit and basket target. You can use a jumping stop on basket orders (it's cool to BE but it's cool too trail the basket too to grab some pips too . There is an auto recovery mode and choice of predefined lot management (2.4.2, 1.1.3.3,...) or you can customize that too. Yep, a couple of new features are coming... (and I'm sure a couple of bugs too ;-) hehehe)

Cheers,

Mart

Yah, actually 3 accounts. 2 .10 cent accounts and 1 $1 per pip account.

So far it has cost me a pretty penny as for some reason it keeps reverting, and I swear I am changing it to .01, but not 100% for sure.

life goes on. Will give the latest a go.

Mart,

Any idea why this attached set file trailing stop isn't working???

I have updated them and they just don't seem to work.

The jumping stop worked this time, but no trailing stop.
