The best trick with grid traders is to cut your losses at a certain point and turn it off when the market is not behaving. I believe that is what Max is trying to do with the take your profit and run. The big issue though is that you MAY BE cutting your winning days and you will end up riding your losers.
I agree. The problem with closing all trades at a fixed % is that you miss out on the really good days.
I don't think any EA can be considered to be truly 'set it and forget it'. I am currently on demo and looking to go live soon. My approach is to leave the EA whilst I am out at work or sleeping to do it's own thing. When I am able, I check in to see if any pairs are in deep draw down. If a pairs goes into the final stage of recovery, I close the first trade at round about 're-entry line pips' past the latest re-entry line. This gives another stage of recovery, but at a greater distance away. This would continue until the BE line is hit.

It is wrong to assume that any system can be loss free. It is just a case of deciding when to take the losses, and how to keep them to a minimum.

Cheers, Beastie.

anyone getting a critical crash error with their MT4 crashing and then closing down?????

I'm getting this with all of max's bots. I have tried with different brokers too.

Any ideas?
Did you ever sort this? I have benn running fine on an Alpari demo for several weeks. Yesterday, I installed a demo from GoMarkets and metatrader crashes if I try to open it with charts loaded running Max's EA.
It makes no difference if EAs are running or not. CPU power isn't a problem as I have a quad core i7 with 8GB RAM. The only difference between the 2 is that Alpari is software version 226, GoMarkets is 228.
Maybe I have some different settings somewhere. Any ideas?

Cheers, Beastie.

no - i never fixed it. still the same problem - tried with alpari and FXDD on different machines with different CPU strengths.

Still crashes.

Oh well - just my luck :-(

Did you recomplie in the new version? Or just copy the ex4 and mp4 file from the previous install? Try deleting the ex4 files on all the relevant indicators and ea (MT4 v228)and restart and allow the new version to complie the files.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid this didn't work for me. The odd thing is that I can actually run the EA without error. MT4 crashes if I try and open the app with charts already loaded, or if I load a profile with the preconfigured charts.
Anyway, I have 9 charts set up ready to start riunning tomorrow morning, plus the master EA. I will see how it goes.

Cheers, Beastie.

anyone still testing Steve's original version on page 1? I've just been having it sit there nonstop for the last 4 weeks. Was quite quite quiet for the last couple of weeks til the end of the week last week when it started trading like a banshee again. Going to see how it opens this week.

Last time I tried it, it wouldn't open more than 2 recovery trades. Have either of you had the same problem? I intend to have another go with it, but haven't got round to it yet.

Hi Max,

Here is an interesting graphic.
Top line shows growth from the stable version 71c bot against the lower line showing growth after regularly updating to each new version as it came out - right now at version 133.

Great work Max - an epic piece of coding

Steve, not sure if your still watching this thread but noticed that a recovery trade was opened only 30 pips apart. I think it happened when reloading the platform. Is there a spot I can put another check code for this? Thanks

Max, are you going to open your own thread for your EA? since this thread is mixed now.


EDIT: the trades closed which is fine at BE but where can I change the BE TP code on the recovery to maybe BE +1 ? Thanks

I had a PM from 'Edd Ganuelas' regarding a problem with Max's bot. I paste it here as he is not able to post.

"I had an error on this new version of max bot. I cannot load it and have some error (unexpected end of program). Version v135 is running though. Would appreciate if you could help me."

Please note that me posting on anothers behalf is a one off. I don't intend to become a messaging service for people who can't post in this thread. I hope you understand.

Cheers, Beastie.

Also me, and this is what I responded to him:

Hi, use 137, nothing wrong with MAX_V137 doing compile except for 4 warnings that you can ignore, this is fine;
Function "DoesTradeExist4H" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "WhiteLineClose" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "TradeClosureModule" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
Function "CloseTrade" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
