Steve:

I've been testing your ea.. Fantastic, by the way.. I've left the defaults in place and I see that it places the TP but not the SL. I've played around with it and can't get it to show the red line for the SL. I have to be doing something wrong. But when it displays the completed trades in the account tab it then shows a SL number.

Also, is there a way to set it up the 3 MA as a SL or TP like on NB's Close ea? I can't find any settings for this.

Thanks,

Tom

Anyone else?

Steve, on DT the bot opening trade when crossing 5MA--correct.
say the price is below the 5MA now and trade is closed.
However after closing trade the price retrace back crossing 5MA, the bot open the trade again. If I understand correctly bob's rule, the bot should not work this way.

Steve

I think there still maybe some issue with the Trading status function
It looks to be on Buy trades as far as I can tell

Please look at screenshot of an UT and a DT situation

Thanks

When using "Use TMA to set stoploss" is there any way of checking that the stoploss has actually been set? I ask this because the value shown (correctly) on the chart and in the order pane is the visual stoploss

When I open a trade, I see only the visual stop on the chart and terminal. When the trade is stopped out, the account history indicates the true stop, not the visual stop. As far a I can tell, only the EA input will indicate the stop during the trade.

Yes Inq., that's how I see it, it would be more reassuring to be able to check the TMA stop while the trade is open.

The stop loss line will show you the 'real' stop loss.

The latest bug reports helped me find a bit of mis-coding - I forgot that the functions that report on the presence/absence of objects and global variables return different data types.

This is fixed in the post 1 update. This is an essential re-download and should (might?) fix the status display problem.

For some reason i still cannot get any trades to open, even with the new auto trader ea on.

EA is working fine for me. I'll be home in a few hours to check the trades.

One of the things that the legions of the lazy and stupid forget when posting their asinine requests for information that they should be finding out for themselves is this: I have to bloody well read them.

And they piss me off.

Big time.

With a few notably useful exceptions, the latest posts here have been rubbish and I resent having to read them.

I have added my normal posting restrictions to this thread - details in post 1. My usual posters will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Hi people

Something that just caught me out and is worth noting
If you want to drag and drop the TP line manually , be sure to set the moveTPlineWithTMA to false or you will just be happily moving your TP all night and not understanding why it jumps back to the original TMA line

Good point, Peter. That is the law of unintended consequences kicking in.

I have added this to post 1. Thanks.

the picture I just uploaded show the error that I keep getting with this ea, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been following this thread since day 1 and just cant figure out why this would keep happening. I am using the latest version of the ea.

The only thing I can think of is an issue with the stop loss in the 5 decimal platform since I am using IBFX demo.

IBFX don't let on, but they are now ecn crims. You have to set CriminalIsECN to true to trade with them. I believe I mention this in post 1.

Mind, I keep on forgetting this myself.

Hi Steve,
I just watched your manual bot and NBob's EA take the same USDJPY trade about a second apart. Pretty!!!
That manual bot is really locked in........Let the fun begin....

Have a great day

The stop loss line will show you the 'real' stop loss.

I do not seem to get the stop loss I put in parameters
I have previous swing true plus 5 pips with multiplier 1.0, min 15
Use tma stop is set to false

All orders are being placed with a 100 pip stop loss

All closures are at 100 pip loss ( EDIT ... sorry this is an incorrect satement, my closures are at the swing point, just the visual stop that is incorrect )

The Show Hidden Stop parameter ... what is this ?
It defaults at 100 ( which suggests it to be the reason for placing my stops where they are ), but if I set this to 0 or 1 or 15 or whatever it makes no difference, my stop is always at 100

Anyone getting the correct swing stop loss ... please confirm your settings
