SWB Martingale EA

Firstly I would like to express my admiration to all that worked on this very promising EA. I am using the e version with hedge set on true. As you can see from the image the hedge fires on level 4 with set TP and SL. After it hits TP and the price turns upwards when it reaches the Hedge level it fires again...and it goes on reaching the Hedge SL. Is there any way that we can make the hedge fire only when the price comes from one direction. If the hedge trade is a Sell then to open only when price comes down to the Hedge Level and if we are on a Buy Hedge then the hedge will fire when price goes upwards. I don know if I make my self clear plus the fact that I am code illiterate I don't really know if that is feasible at all. Thank you again especially EC for all the work you have done here.

Error 1, mean no error returned from server and/or error is unknown, I dont worry about this error.

Error 130, means invalid stops. In back testing you don't have STOPLEVEL control therefore it work fine, But in forward testing if your StopLoss is less than you STOPLEVEL it becomes an invalid Stop and you receive error 130.

Hope it helps

Hey, I just noticed if you set power_lots to false it won't work. That's because power lots factor (pl_factor) needs to be set to 1 by default, which I wasn't calling out. And, since I am multiplying tp_in_money by this and, unless I specify 1 as a default, basically it's multiplying it by 0. So ...

Can someone tell me if you can set the initial lot size to 0.01 (micro lot?)

Thanks

as there are some brokers who has minimum lot 0.1 but minimum step 0.01 I'd do this change in rounding precision calculation:



double lotstep = MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSTEP);
if(lotstep==0.01){ prec=2; std=10.0; }
if(lotstep==0.1) { prec=1; std=1.0; }


btw, variable std id not used anywhere in code.

EDIT

And there is a bug with Daily target - I have DT 50, tp in money is 2. after opening 4 and more levels by my settings EA closing orders at TP reached:
Order 1 +97.31
Order 2 +11.22
Order 3 -38.66
Order 4 -65.39
------------------
sum is 4.48

but EA has closed trading for rest of day as order 1 had profit of 97

EDIT 2

solved by changing dailyprofit function

from: if(TimeDay(OrderOpenTime())==day) res+=OrderProfit();
to: if(TimeDay(OrderCloseTime())==day) res+=OrderProfit(); //we are counting closed profit today, no matter when order has been opened


EDIT 3

There is a problem with dailytarget, but most probalby it is caused by hedge or specific its settings - if daily target is reached by closing hedge orders, EA closing all open orders on second day open, even with huge floating loss.

EDIT 4

I have no trades at any TF if forward_trend is set to true

Since this is a martingale system and prone to blowing up accounts I think it would be great if someone could add a email alert to this to alert you when your account dropped below a certain percentage. That way you could possible cut your loss before blowing up your account and starting over. Otherwise this EA works very good, and can make up losses very quickly.

Hope someone will give this some thought as I'm definitely not a programmer.

i checked the EA in back and forward test and it work very nice.
but it have a some problem. for example when we run it on the chart, it don't print any thing in the chart and u can not check what it is doing.
i thing it is necessary to print something in the chart that show the inputs value and the doing parameters.

Okay, this is a revised version of the original SWB. I restructured ordering process to make it easier to modify. It should maintain same functionality, however. Although you folks might want to check it out to see if it works to your satisfaction.

It also includes previous version of hedge, plus h_top_level, which allows you to select level to shut hedge off. It may actually come in handy with this other idea we're talking about.
Hi ecTrade, I hope you are still here. You are doing a great job on swb grid.

I like version 4.1 revised on post #525 because it's simple. Would you add hedge stop loss variable on 4.1 revised version?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Guys

Having some joy with this ea, however it can come unstuck if there is a strong move against it, either during the day (UK) and especially during news. I am no good at coding but perhaps someone could add either a news filter and or a trading times filter. Think ea could be very good catching small moves during asian session.

Okay guys, since the EA in post #525 is the basic EA (although "new" and improved), I think I may start a new thread in the next day or two, and maybe we could talk about some of the ideas in the last few posts? I don't see a point in doing it here though, for I would rather start out fresh.

Thanks.

Will you post a link here when the new thread is active? This robot was doing great for me until the Greece panic a few weeks ago, but I had to be away for 3 days and left it on, prolly not a great idea with any robot.
