Hi magft. I was testing the V1.10 Edd ea and noticed a problem.
When the number of open trades reaches the limit set by the parameter, the display of the upl locks up and it appears the whole ea locks up.
Same here, and there seem to be some problem with the candle direction and trend as well. Sometimes, trend is up, candle is up and it keeps on going short while it should revert to the original Caillou strategy... This is happening with v1.10 Edd as well.

The first two rules i learned in forex was: 1. never go against the trend 2. never add positions to a losing trade.

This baby does both as well it causes the MT4 to crash. I could wait for the price to return but I don't think I will have any account left by then...
I tried only the original version, follow the trend. Currently live with mini account.. drawn down is little (<2%).

No. I am currently running the original Caillou and also Version 1.02 on my live accounts. They seem to be the most stable for me.

I am currently testing version 1.10 Edd - it has a critical bug that needs fixing. When the number of open trades hits the maximum the EA locks up.

Steve Hopwood,


Thanks for the Robot.

On the Caillou.mq4 there are the "Close all trades", Stop the robot", and "Start the robot" features.

Is it possible to add "Execute Sell" and "Execute Buy" features also, so that we can add a trade and then the robot can include those trades as it manages the trades?

It seems sometimes that if we can add trades to the robot, that we can maybe get out of a drawdown faster or even prevent a drawdown.

Just asking.

Bruce

Hi Caillou, i want to test something out and if it works i will publish it here.
To do this i need som help with your code - simply i would like to set

a stoploss x pips (variable SL+) below the low (Buying) or Hi (Selling) based on the first trade candle of a basket.

EG

1st Trade initiated - Buy (low of this candle is say 1.4503, variable SL+ 3)
so SL would be 14500

if SL hit all trades of that basket are clossed

hope you can help - have an idea might work

thanks

Hi,

I´m really sorry but I´m not a coder, that´s why I ask Steve for coding this idea.

Anyway your suggestion could work, what I´m sure is that a system which never takes a loss, will always fail, sooner or later, no matter which timeframe, no matter which pair, because if the market can make a movement for that to happen, the market will do it, ALWAYS.....

Just my opinion

Regards

Hola Freddy,

Actually, I´m not using anyone, I have realized that I don´t trust any system without a SL.... maybe it´s obvious to many people, but now I am sure.
Maybe I´m wrong but I will not test anymore an EA without a SL, and I´m not talking about an emergency SL extremely high, I´m talking about a reasonable SL.......

I have tested a lot, and sooner or later, the death trade appears.....always

Un abrazo

Yes, I am with you on that.
Guess we just stick to manual trading, so far, so good.

OK, you're right Daily TF are terrific results but as regarding my 4 years experience in forex, I'll never trader again whitout stop, I ask to somebody to put an stop on V1.05 on the previous Daily Hight or Low bar. As the % of winning trade is 93 %, I think it can decrease significatly the DD wihtout decrease much profit and will secure the trades.

Bruce, that's a great idea. I have been adding manual trades along the way as well to help the ea along, so the ability to manually add a trade that the ea would manage would be great.

Guys, have a question about 1.04 vers. How you guys use/activate "Close all trades", Stop the robot", and "Start the robot" features? I seen it on chart but when I click on it seems like doesn't work in 1.04 ver.

Thank you in advance.

Double click the label and then drag, that causes it to get redrawn back and runs the code, i think!

If i find time i'll have a go at adding the Execute Buy/Sell Labels as well.

I've had the v1.09 versions running for over week and they are both up in profit, the Edd version makes less profit but has DD about a 1/5th of base method. I've been travelling with work so not much time this week for coding. Hopefully i'll be able to go through posts and spend a bit more time on this. I'm currently looking at a few EAs and all take time to write, test and make sure logic is correct.
