I add the possibility to adapt the lot size for Trend modes according to the the trend strengh. And some other mods
Not sure it it eat more or less pips, have to do some BT with AdaptLotWithTrendStrengh
You should normalize your lots with LotDigits when you adapt the lot. On brokers that don't support 0.01 lots you will get errors.

per my previous post, still getting those errors and no trades opened. I do have both auto lots settings set to false, and have my manual lot set to .05 (tadawulfx has .05 minlot and .05 lotstep), but to no avail. Seems like setting these to false doesn't actually disable them?

It might be another issue since its trying to send orders with 0 lots.

v130 have trade a lot today. I started last night with no open trades and also finished tonight with everything close with master EA.
886 € banked, not bad, that's almost 1.5% !!.
Lucky you. Obviously we are not getting the same trades. Probably because my broker is terrible with spreads and price feed. if this ends up really nice, I will have to open an FXOPEN or less criminal criminal. haha...

So far, a profitable day though. Good work.

EDIT: The lot sizing for dynamic ATR calculation is not working on my broker. .44 lots or .42 (can't recall) is not a good sizing no matter what currency. It should have a limit... What if EURUSD ranges in a tight range. It typically will then do a breakout. This is how you get killed and the opposite of good PA trading in my opinion. When ATR is low, then you want to be more cautious in my opinion.
We are our own best indicator.

i agree but maybe longer term atr average might work better then tight ranges wont affect lot sizes so much unless its over a long time few months

I don't understand why there is invalid lots for some brokers in case of dynamic lot size with pipvalue/daily ATR since they are normalized.
Concerning dynamic ajustement for Lotsize with trend strengh, i added this check in v134

I gave up on this thread a long time ago. I have not the remotest idea where Max's latest things are, nor do I have the time or energy to keep up with them.

So far as I can see, Max's bot has about as much to do with the original concept as it does with a piece of cheese. The original concept has morphed into The Beast and I shall be doing no further development of NB5.

I suggest Max starts his own thread and provides me with a brief description of his bot to go in post 1 here, then I can put a link to his thread along with the description and...
Yes I will set up a new tread, but I need help in order to write a user manual (english native speaker) since write in english for me is a slow process (and pain for people read me)

Hi Max,
In the last problem with lot size that was reported on this thread the value of the lot was 0. This can happened when you do arithmetic on the lot size that result with a number less minlot. In this case the lot will be 0 after you normalize with lotdigist. The solution is to place a check just before OrderSend statements:
If (lotsize<minlot) lotsize=minlot;
Or
If (lotsize4H<minlot) lotsize4H=minlot;

Does the Master EA work with brokers with suffixes on their pair names such as EURUSDfx?

Max,

I put the new one on and it closed out all my old orders. Just FYI as I don't know if that was the intent. First time this ever happened. Lost 30.00, but DD was getting a little high anyways and still up for the week!

Agree, or take an average from an average. A .43 lot size on a penny account is very high no matter what the range of the trading is...

This could end up like blessings, marvelous during ranging (since we have been pretty much testing this), but when a big trend comes... blammmo!!!

However, if you have the close out daily, maybe you can make enough pips each day to make it worth while.

...Hell, it is my thread and I haven't the foggiest idea what is going on, so newbs have no chance.
Thanks for that Steve, you are correct, newbies will be definately very confused. As for Max`s EA, I think originally it started as automated NB5, then it grew, grew and grew to the BEAST it is now. I am demoing it and it is very very good but very complex. Just trying to keep up is a difficult task for some. I am sure you agree that he has done a fantastic job, albeit very complex.

Kind regards
