My OldBeast opened three trades with JPY already this week (before I decided to stop trading with JPY). All other recoveries have always worked fine so far, but the JPY is too risky.
I remember that I have tested it on a demo, but I canīt remember the result.
, so my question:The "STOP TRADING" option can be activated, even if you have open trades, right?

(By the way it seems that central Bank of Japan is already loading the market with billions, otherwise I would expect the JPY going in the different direction. So finally trading JPY right now seems like trading against the central bank)
In that case, you definitely have something wrong, but no idea what. TOB should have traded like a tart today.

Got a spam of trades today!
Btw still have problem with the re-entry.
On the usd/chf after the first 0.01 trade TOB entered a second 0.01 trades after only 37 pips.
I'll try again on alpari.uk to see if the problem is the broker (activetrades)

TOB already answered my question by closing all JPY trades with profit...

I don't know either. I put the platform up as usual Sunday evening, just as I had it from last week, except I added seven more pairs. I did the same with Beastie; it's trading but TOB is not.
- uninstall the platform
- delete all the folders left behind
- re-install a platform
- re-download the ea
- load it up, check the inputs and see what happens
Sometimes the only recourse is to start again.

Not sure, so I will have a look at the code.

Hey guys, I just noticed. One of my L3 trades pays positive swap (euraud sell).
Yep, that is positive swap. Rarer than hen's teeth these days.
I just remembered, euraud is an old friend of mine. I would open a separate account, fund it with a few dollars, take a miniscule euraud sell and just let the swap accrue except that I am sure the crim would notice and turn the swap negative just on my account.
Hey ho.

Going back briefly to The Logical Trader, I coded a signals-generator that I sent to astral.
He put it on a number of charts and reports that it would have generated a number of profitable scalp trades.
I shall start a new thread soon, to see how far we can take this. Not yet, as I want to play and see if I can make some successful demo trades. Also, I need to finish the book and see if the authour talks about profitable trade exit.
The ea waits for a breakout from the range, then calculates the 50% 'waiting time' and sends an alert if the market has remained outside of the box for this period of time. Once an alert triggers, it will start a calculation at each new candle, but this is a minor inconvenience.
It makes sense for me to start the thread as I will code the ea's/scripts etc that we will use, and can call on the likes of squalou to code indis, should we need them. In the meantime, for those of you who want to play, the ea is attached. I would appreciate it if you would try to sort out the inputs for yourself so that I do not have to answer questions I shall answer when I start the thread.

Hi Steve
Please read to pages 191 to 204 next, that is where his traders describe their various methods. They use it for scalp as well as finding the bias for the day.
Kind Regards

What a day.
At the end of it, I have made 283 pips. Added to yesterday, this makes 470 for the week so far.
I am left with 13 open trades, 12 of them belonging to Recovery groups and the final one being the outstanding GJ that I think will bug me for the rest of my life.
Dd hovers just below 10%. Given my tolerance of dd, this is relaxing on the beach time.
TOB is off all my charts save those still with open trades. I can cheerfully sit out the rest of the week if need be, but will start trading again once the markets have settled down for a while - which they appear to be starting to do.
I am still not allowing L4 trades. Tomorrow I have a concert, so it looks as though Thursday will be the earliest that I start to get back to normal trading.

I can imagine how this happens: solid magenta line moves beyond the re-entry line so TOB sends a trade even though the dashed line is inside the re-entry line.
Not sure, so I will have a look at the code.
Notice volatility is 7, reentry is 150 but yesterday was 0.
Maybe the problem is with the broker, because with alpari the reentry seem to be calculate in the right way.

This is a screenshot of the double entry

My experience is that it is necessary to drag a fresh instance of an ea onto a chart to make changes to the inputs. Trying to change them via F7 or right mouse clicks has unpredictable effects.
At the same time, loading the ea into the editor, changing an input in code and re-compiling sees this change reflected across the board immediately.
Ain't mql4 and mt4 fun?

Very Sound advice sir. We tend to forget how populous and powerful Japan really is. I pray to God that pain and suffering is kept at absolute minimum for these kind, industrious, hard working people.

what really gets on my tits, is that fact that a natural disaster happens in a country like Japan - where people are kind, civilised and innocent. Look how no looting has taken place... how people are helping each other.
On the other hand, we have places in the world where greed.. terrorism.. paedophilia and other digusting minds are at work and nature has spared them. How unfair is this..
Sorry to take the focus away from the normal conversation here guys.. but I am sitting here watching the news and this is REALLY bugging me. I just needed...
Not sure my usual smilie is appropriate, but I post it anyhos.
