1) First Trade Line
How exactly does the "First Trade Line" option work.
If I enter 0 , will the first lot open at the 4/8 Octave ?
If I enter 2 , will the first lot open at the 6/8 Octave ?

I am trying to get PippoV14 to trade the Fabionici points 4/8 and 6/8 , will the above do it ?

I found the 7/8 & 1/8 (Lot1) not that profitable anyone else noticed that ?

2) Idea on SL
I know alot of people probably dont use the "Visible SL" I love it . Is there anyway you could add a feature where we can choose what percentage...
1) It's all based on the bottom 4 mmls from [1/8] down. The -[2/8] is mml0. so with firsttradeline set to 3, the first trade will be taken at mml3 ([1/8]). MaxTrades determines which lots are traded so set to 3 it will open 0.01,0.02 and 0.06 trades.
Use MaxTrades= 4 to include the 0.12 trade.

The code ensures the equivalent configuration for the upper lines.
Pippo is hard coded to only work on the lowest and highest 4 lines


2) Sure. I'll do that sometime today


3) I've running a prototype I'm calling oppip, which does exactly the reverse of pippo but it needs some issue sorting out at the moment.

Thank you for explaining that.
0 = -2/8 & +2/8
1 = -1/8 & +1/8
2 = 0/8 & 8/8
3 = 1/8 & 7/8

Actually setup a reverse trade setup on a demo last night , reverse trade (1/8 & 7/8) and (-/+ 2/8) , will see how that goes. Would be great to try oppip. Looking forward to that release.

My 15 min demo of Pippo (12 July) continues to churn out the pips - with max of 6% DD so far (hedge on). There are a few bugs, which may have been corrected in the later versions, but I don't interfere any more - just let it run. So far, it's closed out all DD trades on its own.

At one point one set of trades was in DD because the hedge trade failed to be placed (error 130) - but still Pippo closed out the trades profitably after a day or two. I've learned not to interfere. The current volatility seems to be good for this EA.

I tried running this version on my live Activtrade account 15 mins, but it didn't work because there were too many missed trades with error 130 (pending trade price too close to current price). It would be great if the pending trades (especially the first of the sequence) could be added sooner to get around this problem.

I...
I also enjoy the 15 mins.
Anyway you can send us a trade report of some sort , I like to do some basic quantitative analysis to see which currencies work best , times , which Octaves perform best etc. Do you have many open orders ? Ok blonde moment saw your myfxbook link , please ignore this request.

Have you tried live trading with PippoV14 , it has the minbandsizefortrading setting , mine is set at 14. I don't get any "error130" codes.

How has everyone done with today's ridiculous US leadership display of dismal failure. I have to ask myself, are all these guys trading currencies and simply being intentionally ignorant to line their own pockets from the results of their stupidity.

Anyway, let me know how everyone has done. This is an interesting example of what we need to know to avoid our own personal disasters.

Not too good...my live account is at 55% margin..there are two hedge trade on Gold & EURGBP so far keeping me in the trade...let's see!

Even V14(all default, thanks DietCoke for adding BandSize filter) on M5 TF is churning out profits very fast; curious whether it would be different if it wasn't for yesterday volatility in the Market. I'm also forward testing EA by nanningbob http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...93#post4827993
image below are equity level from both EA, top one is PippoV14, bottom one is "10.0 CTR.zip", Both EA act soo much alike(down to the recovery and close all)
also worth mentioning "daily recovery EA" on nanningbob thread:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=4743760...
Now my mind is ticking 5M , who would have guessed . getting please keep us informed as to how this works out.

Thanks for the tip to Bobs EA , I was always a follower of his Nanningbob v5 , the man is a forex legend in my eyes.

This is an idea for how to deal with breakouts.

Squalor(sp?, the Smurf guy) has written this ingenious breakout indi. I say use it on the Vix index to guage market conditions.

This is the VIX continuous future contract, free via Broco demo. Note the breakout zone between 20.10 and 20.42. If you could turn everything off before 20.10 you would have probably been safe. I'd be willing to bet most of us did a lot better with pippo from Jul. 18th - 27th than this week. Just an idea.

PippoV13 on 15mins was a winner for me yesterday. I am selective which currencies I trade and when . Setup USDCHF GBPUSD EURUSD USDCAD XAUUSD XAGUSD AUDUSD. I am not a fan of NZD AUD CAD make sure the swap filters are on if I trade them.
22 Trades 8 losses and 14 wins
Visible TP and SL set to true.
Hi Sandovich.

Can you post a set file for your 15min settings. I would like to give it a try.

I opened a new demo yester @ 04:42 and now (02:12) I'm up 18% on the account, with 7.5% DD, pretty good

CHFJPY is getting close to the outer yellow line, so may hedge, but we'll see.

I'm using the latest EA/MM indi and I'm pretty sure running OOTB.

With pleasure , have attached my profile setting, copy to profile folder and load the profile , that should work . Have attached the Pippo V13 EA and Indi , just in case .

If you want to double check settings : Visible TP and SL is set to True , and no hedge or Death trade. The rest is OTB

I will be loading PippoV15 today on my demo account .

If I remember right, using Visible TP does not close the basket so I would expect this to work quite well when things are very volatile.

So far so good , PippoV14 on live acct , no problems from my side.
Will test PippoV15 . Thank you for the SL adjustment .

For someone who "tinkers" with programming , you doing a dam good job.

Had some really good trading with reverse trading last night on the NZD , JPY , CAD pairs at first octave.

Oppip has potential if last night was anything to go by.

You are right when you say Visible TP does not close the basket . What I have been thinking of doing is by the outer lines +1/8 and +2/8 I adjust the profit to greater than 70 as the price is due for a decent reversal. So could squeeze in more pips ?
