Just trew this up on a chart with sky's settings and it hit TP right away
waiting for next cycle

Steve... could the pop up be toggled on or off it keeps beeping and I have to keep hitting ok my employees' are asking what the heck it is
I told them it's my money machine LOL

error message pop up are ok though not sure if can happen up $ 28 since started typing this NICE
Alerts are showing up in case of errors when trying to send trades.

I'm getting often errors for "invalid trade price", don't know why though...
open price is correct compared to the pair's ask/bid...
Or even "invalid trade volume", although i have set the lot size correctly (0.10 minimum on my FXPro demo).
Don't know yet why i get those.
Investigation in progress...

Do you get that kind of errors too ?

You can always throw the alert window at the edge of your screen so it won't bother you (no need to click OK every time, mt4 carries on trading anyway), and switch off the speekers... just don't use Skype while you're trading

when you get the errors again, copy the "Experts" tab messages instead of the "Journal" tab, it will show the Alerts (Journal does not).
Well perhaps the Journal also displays the errors, I can't remember.

Of course, i couldn't get these errors again myself either since we posted...

Question is: With a bouquet of flowers.. sorry .. basket of trades, shouldnt the ups and downs of the different pairs cancel each other out, and therefore enable the use of a smaller stop loss?
I will trial 10 pip per pair SL and 10 pip per pair TP for a bit, and report back.
They will if they do and they won't if they don't. Let us know if you find a way to make sure they do.

Found good indicator, guys anyone can make this draw in 1 indicator window?

It wouldn't take long for those who an expert in MQ.

Right now I have to drug and drop several times the same thing,

plus it definitely needs MTF option, so 1H could be viewed in

M15. Here how it looks. If it's hard to make it in 1 window, then maybe just add MTF?

Thank you..
In what way is this a good indicator?

A good indi of what?

How do we interpret it?

First of all thanks for Steve effort. I'm very keen in this project since trader101 stop posting any updates news in his forum.

Second, I would suggest that please make this thread clean and focus on the original BWB ea without flow in any outside indicators to avoid confusion. BTW, we only need a simple EA is good enough. Make thing simple as possible.

I hope Steve will consider it.

yes i fully agree, most indicators are delayed thats why 95% of trades using indicators like these.
Steve, please carry on your good work and keep it green and clean. we want to be the 5%
Thanks

I had the same thing happen after market close Friday. It kept trying to send trades. I just closed the platform. It's working well otherwise

Remember who coded the robot? Like creator like EA. They do not give up that easily!

that's right, the EA does not check market hours, and because it is "always on" rather than tick-triggered, it will keep trying forever until the server gets tired and shuts you off eventually...

Let's think about a way around this...
I have recently added week-end and holidays detection code in my "sqCheckHistoryGapsScript.mq4" script, that you can find here

We could insert that in the EA so it won't bother us over the w-e.

It will be easy enough to add a bit of code to tell BWB and BWBB to close down for the weekend - I will add a Friday/Saturday stop trading hours feature.

OK, no problem.
There is definitely virtue in keeping this and other threads "clean". Indeed the speed of ideas around here is so great that any deviation from a streamlined approach would shatter a project into many pieces.

The way around it is perhaps to test something elsewhere, and if and when genuinely promising forward tests occur, invite other participants in this and other threads to have a look, with a view to either start a different thread or include the developments into the present one.

Couldn't one for example take an EA like BWB and splice in different filters and see how it goes, in search for an even more reliable high probability method? (away from the to and fro discussions on the thread as we know it, obviously)

You could indeed - this is how I try to code my ea's these days.

This is not quite so easy with this bot as I try to make it normally.

Taking this bot:

 

  1. go to void LookForTradingOpportunities()
  2. find the code if (DoesTradeExist(symbol)) continue;
  3. underneath this, add calls to any filters you wish to include, and abort the function if the filter fails.
