Meanwhile I had a great October with version 5, 2200pips profit. November doesn't start well though, needing some recovery trades on the CHF pairs.
Same for my first 2 weeks of demo in october and for november but can't wait to try a lv3 and break even, must be nice.

Iget this a lot too but just look at your stops. They r probably there. But move to BE is still a prob. Sent pm to Steve. I know he's busy with his new bot. Hopefully he will get back to us soon on that issue when gets time.

Edit: I can't get buy or sell Ea to set them. Use mptm to set them!

I wonder if someone can help or direct me to the right place to post this question as I realize it is very primitive. I successfully loaded (on an FXPro Demo) Nanningbob's EA, and even got the smiley face on the top right, and in the Mesage tab below see anote saying it loaded successfully.

However it appears that the EA is unable to take any trades. Once in a while I see a message below saying: "............. Buy Nanningbob order send failed with errir(131): invalid trade volume"

If anyone can help this would be great. Once again, note this is a Demo - so it is not that I am trading larger lot sizes than my broker allows. But since I am a newbie with EA's I may be missing on a technical setting of some kind.
Thanks Kindly,

Check the size of the lot.... your broker may not allow micro lots (0.01). Set the trade volume to 0.1 .... As far as i know FXPRO minimum lot size is 0.1

Thanks Tread,
This seems to have worked, and the EA just got into a trade (Demo)
Just two more qs. please:
1. Should I now only activate the Sell EA when sell criteria are about to be met (by clicking the "Expert Advisors" icon in the platform's toolbar on top), and vice versa for the Buy EA? knowing the EA will only trigger a trade when the criteria are actually met?

2. Are there any more settings I need to change in the EA's Properties window? I see that TP and SL are at 0, and Magic Number is 21.

Many Thanks again Tread!

Turn on buy when price is below TMA and both mas. Ea will enter when 2nd crosses lower ma heading up. Opp for sell. Look at rwb too for confirmation.

In buy or sell eas just change lot size and ECM criminal to true. Use mptm for stops

Hi all.
I just downloaded the '6.0 2x3 test' package from this post on 15th Oct.

I notice that in the HIGH SELL EA, the 3 period MA of the LOW is used for entry, rather than the 3 period MA of the HIGH.

Inserted Code
 
Var2 = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_H4, 3, 2, MODE_LWMA, PRICE_LOW, 0);
and
Inserted Code
 
if( Bid < Var2)
I apologise if I am reading out of date files, but I couldn't see anything posted later.

Cheers, Beastie.

It is probably not the EA but the way your broker handles trades. Some brokers dont take stops and TP at the same time as the order and they must be handle as a separate event. You can set the MPTM to do this for you and it will put in the SL and TP at the time the trade enters.

That is a coding error you should replace it with the high setting for sells.

Mediator,
Can you please confirm that on the posted charts ( particularly the 5 minute example of multiple entries leading to over 1000 pips profit ) what TMA indicator and settings are you using
I can only reproduce your chart layout with TMA centered, which we all know realigns itself to past data and is therefore only good for ' real time ' trading and is useless in evaluating historical periods
For backtesting TmaTrue must be used and if I put this indicator on the chart I get a totally different outcome
Look forward to your comments
Hello jcs,

this is a very good question. i mentioned before that with this position management the entrie rules a not very import. but the goal is to trade efficient as possible. i put three pictures from a backtest over an one month period. all backtests have zero TP because off infinite yield. and the time for entries are restricted to the London-Session. All Tests started with the same balance and take all the same positionsizing. What i tried is to qualify the 'automated' signals.

the first picture shows that i use random entries. and compare the highest equity peak with the balance to get a ratio between profits and losses.
the second picture shows the use of NanningBobs V5.3 Signals
and the third picture shows entries made with TMA.
i used both indicators TMA Centered and the TMA true. both give nearly the same results.


In the first Picture with Random entries, the highest equity peak has a profit of 8599$ and a balance-loss of -10816$. this is a win/loss ratio of 0.79. and a Profitfactor of 1.29. important to say is that you will have usualy very low profit trades. but here at 66%.

In the second Picture with NB V5.3 entries the highest peak is at an equity-win of 3679$ and a balance-loss of -860$. this is a ratio of 4.27. with a profitfactor of 3.78 and profittrades 8.89%. this is not really bad.

in the third picture with TMA and crossing MA entries the highest Peak is at an equity-win of 6389$ and a balance-loss of -1054$. a ratio of 6.06. with profitfactor of 6.52 and profittrades 16.9%. this is really great.

the conclusion is that with most every signal you could profit if and only if you protect your profits and cut your losses small. but the better the entries decision the better are the outcome.

and yes this is the same what PipsEasy is telling. i read a lot of his post after i got a hint from a member in this thread here.

'cut your losses and let profits run'

Ok, obviously I will need to do more analysis
Are you using an EA for the backtesting and also for forward / live trading ?

Can you please confirm you are NOT currently using a recovery system but a fixed stoploss instead ... and if so do you use the same stop for all pairs and at what pips
Also what criteria are you using for a re-entry after being stopped out
Thanks

Hi jerrydeng
I had the same problem. To resolve this I changed InsertStopLoss() and InsertTakeProfit() in a way so MPTM does not touch pending orders.
