One thing I will mention as a suggestion... I run another EA that opens trades similar to the Mari and after playing with it, I found that it was much more profitable to only run during certain hours; (6:00 to 19:00 GMT) I had a programer add this to the EA and it helped increase profitability. Just a thought.

TCO... One of these days someone is going to "crack the code" on a EA so it may as well be you! Thanks for the fun!!!

This error message means that the EA tried to modify the trailing stop loss when the trailing value did not change. It is not a problem, although it should be cleaned up if the EA turns out to be for real.

Hi,

I think this error about invalid stops is real problem compare to Error 1: no error. I'm getting Error 1: no error on Mari V3 on M5 TF, which is just annoying, nothing more. Worse problem is on MARI V2 on 1H TF, where it gives me invalid stops - it cannot create Trailing stops and move them, after the price reaches Trailing stop treshold. Probably TCO could bring some light to this ...

Hey guys,

I just wanted to give a short update on my running v3 m5 demo. I have been watching it this morning until around 1pm GMT+1 german time, and what I saw was mostly stunning ... but I have major concerns about the settings I had running.

Fact : it cranked up some unbelievable 1582 pips !!! But floating DD was down to around 1650 (coming from 2000) Euro. Thus I have to change something here, gets too scary ...

I will change lot settings and maybe give only 3-4 pairs on one demo account to give it the space to breathe it needs. Alpari limits me to 100 running trades per account, so 3-4 pairs is maximum. Will check out if the limit is reached.

Also I have a 2.0 lots max on a micro account running 0.01 lots ... so I cannot let the lot double effect take place after 10 trades like in the standard settings.

So I will set up some new demo accounts with 3-4 pairs, which have to be determined to have small basket variations or give one higly volatile pair and some lower other ones onto it.

Comclusion : TCO, you have done a marvellous job, even until now. I have NEVER seen something taking off this way ... just good MM required and maybe some other little tweaks like a pip step / news calendar etc ... and off we go ...

XX - This EA is a two edged sword, it can compound winnings AND/OR losers very fast. It does a good job on catching winners but it is the vigor which it throws more trades at a losing position that will wipe out the profits. It won't blow the account as my demo and live accounts have held above water but I have seen the profits dissappear twice each. The only thing holding this EA back is a code requirement that will not allow the bot to throw more trades at a position that is negative and the feature to set a break even to protect trades that are profitable. Only allow another trade after X pips profit. Otherwise it's ability to pick good trades is exceptional!

On the error codes, you are just going to have to set your TSL to larger numbers. When the bot tries to modify the SL, if you are moving it within your brokers allowable range for SL it will bounce back an error. This is not the bots fault, this is your brokers fault. Two choices, find a broker with tighter allowable ranges or increase your SL values.

How we coming with Mari4?

Sam,

Who is your broker. Which version are you using and what is your htf and ltf settings. Which chart do you have the EA attached to. Do you have any other EAs running? Have you checked your experts and journal tabs for errors? Are the trade signals flashing on the screen for signal 1,2,3? Do any of them say 1 at times or do they all stay zero? Do you have the box checked for true-check every bar? Smiley face on EA? EAs active button on the MT4 platform clicked on? Do you have allow live trades on?

Sam,

Which version are you using...1,2, or 3?

Can you take a screen shot of your EA settings. What are you using for times entered on your LTF and HTF? These need to be numbers like HTF=60 and LTF=5 meaing find trend on H1 chart and take signals on M5 chart. I use HTF60 and LTF15 as I get a few less signals but they are better quality signals. I have also experimented with HTF15 and LTF1 and set max trades to 1. This is very interesting as well.

If you are using version one you need to have EA attached to HTF.
IF you are using verison three it needst to be attached to LTF.
Don't remember version2 as I haven't used it.

Unless you have it turned off, there should be a bunch of text flashing on your screen with what seems like every tick. This has all you settings and readings for signal 1, 2, 3 which all need to agree to trigger a trade.

My guess is if you have the smiley face and no errors in your logs, but it is not taking trades either you have the chart on the wrong TF or you have entered the TFs (HTF and LTF) incorrectly, or you don't have the EA set to true for check every bar.

+1. Made 70 pips in a day and subsequently lost 90 pips the next 3 hrs. Talk about some crazy rollercoaster.

Sam, the only thing positive you can say is you haven't lost any money with the non trading bot. Looking at your log files, and screen shots, I really can't see anything wrong with your setup at all. I'm using a real criminal Alpari-US and it has been streak trading. Indicators trigger, indicators go their own way, indicators come back. Seems to trade streaky which is fine, I just don't like the compounding of losing trades (I may have said this once already. ) Your chart and print out look fine. Just keep watching the 3 trade signals at the bottom of the screen text. If all three indicate a "1" for buy or sell and no trade gets taken then there is something wrong with the bot. If you never get three signals in a row then there could be something wrong with an indicator or indicator settings. I will admit, you have me stumped as well. Anyone else have suggestions?
