Has anybody had any hedge trades opened yet? I had a sell 0.04 lot GBPCHF trade opened at 09.00 (08.00 GMT) this morning at 1.5332, this evening it rose to 1.5645 a loss of 313 pips. My hedge settings are Use hedging = true, Hedge at loss pips = 300, Hedge lots multiplier = 2.0. I would have expected a 0.08 lot buy to open but nothing happened. Any ideas? ( Just TB intstalled on the chart )

Maybe your broker is US based?

Nope, Alpari UK, with shorts and longs enabled on the platform.

Anyone else have amazing performance in the last
day or so? My 15-pair demo and two 8-pair demos
all pulled down monster profits and are currently
flat, which is the way I like to do business.

I'm currently running TB on a demo that mirrors
one of my live EA accounts, which I have traded
for two years. Should be interesting to see how it
compares.

I'm not trading that pair. Still running TB with defaults.

I just didn't think it performed as well as some of the other pairs in my demo.
I also don't trade eurchf, along with some of the big-spread pairs.

I'm trading this pair, also, and, at present, it's running a DD of 8.2%. I haven't had a hedge trade activated as it's set at 500 pips (default). I'm running this demo on ODL UK so, I'm leaving all the settings as they are ootb, apart from lot size.

I think it's to give you time to set the number of days or weeks in case you have saved the EA in a template.

I have the 8.2% DD on this one, and am watching with great interest, hoping it goes to hedging at 500 pips, so that I know it works as expected.
If it works, this EA is superb beyond words, and I can sleep well as it labors.
I was bitten rather badly by another counter-trend EA a year ago. But it appears this excellent team has finally controlled the beast. Kudos.

Tread, when you tried to break it did you manage to force a hedge trade? ( see my earlier post re. GBPCHF )

Firstly....thanks guys great EA....
I have the newest version " The Beast" the one with the TP line showing on the chart , live on Eur for two weeks works great added Aussie at the end of last week again great..
Today I added the usdjpy " my last pair" and it took a short tonight all good how ever I see the TP on the demo " I have it running on live and demo to make sure its working correctly" is set at 81.497 but on the live account its set at .97.....I have closed the live one for the time.
Live and demo are both " Go Markets"...
I dont think I have done anything wrong as I use the same set file...can anyone advise me on what has happened...

Thanks
Glenn

Made an indicator to assist with any analysis you may want to do. Plots the position of any pending orders as they would have been created and where they would have been filled over the chart history. Can easily see what the effect of changing the barCount values are this way. Have attached source so any coders feel free to check the logic, I think its ok however I have said that many times before.

Hi Steve,

I have noticed that OrderClose function in CheckForHiddenStopLossHit function has hard-coded slippage of 5. Being part of reusable code, I thought it might be good idea to fix it.

I have copied your code from init() to adjust it for 5-digit criminals (attached).

Kind Regards

Well eventually The Beast did open a hedge trade but at -330 pips not the -300 that I set in the parameters, it added 30 pips from somewhere, BE pips? jumping stop pips? I don't know.
Anyway as soon as the hedge trade opened Sods Law came into play and GBPCHF started to retrace which meant that the (double lot) hedge trade was going bad at twice the rate at which the original trade was coming good, so I baled manually from the hedge. As I type it looks as if GBPCHF is going to ruin my first week of live trading with TB.http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
