Just trying to get my head around how to use the Trend identifier as pippo is working on a counter trend trading style ?
Does the trend identifier identify the longer term trend ie. Daily trend if trading 4H or the 4H trend if trading 15mins ?
That way we can counter trade the small time frames and follow the longer time frame trend. Theoretically the probability of a successful trade should be in our favor.


This currently does nothing except display how "trendy" the pair currently is. It does NOT and won't do anything else until there is some agreement that using it to filter trades is a good thing.

I am looking at ways of filtering out trades which are likely to go bad and avoiding strong trends would be a good way of doing this.

Another possibility is to avoid trading if the white hi-lo range lines are travelling in the wrong direction


I've been trying to come up with a way to make the MM lines persist when there are open trades but I think the method I've chosen has some problems which make 16 unusable right now.

I'm back at work now so a more stable V16 may have to wait a day or so.

1. It doesn't look like you have the proper murray math lines indicator?
2. You dont have a smiley face in upper right corner which means you dont have it set to trade live.

Im using the indicator that was attached in this post.

I didn't set the EA Pippo to run automatically, because when I press START it starts loading but never finishes.. Do I need to adjust anything?

can someone post a step by step to make this thing work? Or how did you learn to run it? is there a guide somewhere?

I'm missing something here..

And why do you think my murrey math lines look bad? Can you please attach a chart to see how it looks on your end?

Because no smile face in u chart. it represent EA is runing. So check u indicator and EA files input correct path.

What version of Pippo are you running?

If you are running version 16 then I would suggest you read the other posts in this thread to see why no one else is


If you are running version 15, it should run very nicely OOTB but I would suggest redownloading the MurreyMath indi again.

If performance is still slow then try:

Check the NumBars parameter in the Murrey math Indi. It should be around 600 but you can reduce load by setting it to 300

run Pippo on fewer pairs and see if this improves things

On pippo, Set debug = true on 1 pair, leave it for at least one full bar and then send me the log which you will find in Expertslogs compressed.

The OOTB hedging does not show an obvious closure. What closes the hedge if one does not select the close on re-entry to grid? I note with interest that Droland was using the latter.
I have the basket closure active at 50%. Is anyone using this?

This is the OOTB hedging setup:


extern bool UseHedging = true;
extern double HedgeLotMultiplier = 1;//size of hedge relative to open lots
extern double MMLSToHedgeLine = 0; //sets the distance from the bottom/top yellow line for the hedging line
extern bool CloseHedgeOnReturnToGrid= false;


the ootb setup means it will hedge at the yellow line but only 1:1 so the basket will not return to profit with this setup and therfore never close. This suits me as I manage these manually.

If you want the hedge to close at breakeven, set HedgeLotMultiplier > 1. There is currently no option to apply a profit target to a hedge.

Glenn
Yes he has been looking at it. I have an outstanding pice of work to fix a smal problem with it. Currently, for it to work as designed, MMLSToHedgeLine must be > 0

I've not heard of anyone using that. 50% seems high?? (unless its a tiny account)

These last few weeks have been a good test for this EA with some of these pairs, specifically AUDUSD. Will StopAsPercentOfOctave close out our trades at the specified stop loss even if visibleSL=false? Will it apply the that SL but just keep it internal and not show it to Crims? Thanks in advance!

Guys,

Can anyone help me. I got recurring problem with my computer hangging, and cannot log-on to mt4 with several pairs and indicator running on it. Forced to exit, uninstall the existing one and reinstall a new Mt4. When I logged on anew with the new installed ff after logging off, the same screen is appearing. The system somehow cannot free itself from the previous flatform.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Try turning off wireless and unplugging your LAN cable. Restart the MT4 and remove all the EA's from each chart. One of them is hanging up your computer. Now you can turn on wireless again/LAN and then start adding the EA's back onto your charts 1 at a time. Allow them to connect before moving on to the next chart.

Like most people, sometimes I have a ton of charts open and different indicators smattered across them. Sometimes my system hangs and sometimes when I restart it it won't load.

One way around this is to go to your profiles folder in your MT4 platform folder and look for a file called "LastProfile". To get your system to restart and prove that it is a chart, EA or indicator hanging, open the file and change the word in there to "default" or what ever the name is of one of your more simple profiles were that was working. Save and close the folder, close platform and restart. The Mt4 platform will open with this new chart set. From there you can try to load the profile you were running. If it doesn't work then you may have to rebuild all of the charts and resave the profile.

Another trick I have learned is that when building up a set of charts, I will add a few charts and indicators and then save save it as Prof-1, add some more and save it as Prof-2......prof-15 etc. This way if I need to restart my system I can go back and work my way through the different profiles until I find where the problem is and then rebuild from there.

These methods have saved me a lot of headache and time reloading MT4 platforms, charts, indicators and EAs.

I had some initial problems with trades being opened and closed quickly, as well as not being able to set stop loss and take profit levels. I did have the visibleTP and visibleSL set to TRUE. I've determined now that it was operator error I'm running it in Demo on Interbank FX. I thought these guys are an ECN crim. I was mistaken and have set CriminalsECN=false. So if anyone is experiencing problems with your orders not having stop loss or take profit set, this is probably what you need to do to fix it. We'll see how this baby performs over the next few weeks

V17 And MurreyMath Indicator
Added Steve's Order send fix

Added Trading times code from reversi

Fixed problem with minbandsizefortrading
Changed LookForFailedHedging to close upper line failed hedging based on Ask rather than bid
Changed the internals around drawing and using hedgelines
Changed the internals around the on screen comments.
Added Comment to identify hedge, stop and limit orders.
Changed Hedging so that it uses the order comment is uded to identify a hedge

Added new functions to save or delete the values of the current MML lines to Global Variables.
The GV's are only deleted if there are no open trades.
On each EA pass through. the GV's are created if there is an open trade.
On init, the lines are calculated from GV's if they exist otherwise they are calculated from the lines on the chart as normal
The function which reads the MML's from the chart has been changed to preferentially read the Stored GV's
The end result of this should be to hold the MML's while a trade basket is in play.


OK. I've finally managed to produce a stable version which holds the MML's as Global Variables (F3 from the terminal screen to view them).

Some of the experimental stuff which messed up v16 I've removed and will revist when I've got Globals correct.

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 ?

You should be able to do this in the next version

Thank you DietCoke a job well done . I am already looking forward to the next version . Been waiting for this version to test the avoid trend filter you put in V16. What I started doing is use NanningBob's method of identifying when the market Trends and moves in a Range. Pippo works best in Range trading so I use his methods to find the CTR (counter trade range) pairs for the day and load pippo on them fewer trades as I trade only the pairs ranging but more winners with lower drawdown.

I used the NB10 dashboard for this . If anyone wants more info here is the link.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...29#post4855729

In general the following pairs are good range trade pairs as per Nanningbob
aud/jpy, aud/nzd, aud/usd, cad/jpy, chf/jpy, eur/gbp, gbp/cad, gbp/usd, nzd,chf, nzd/jpy, nzd/usd, usd/cad, usd/jpy
Another idea , if level 7/8 and 1/8 are not profitable (probably because they pass through the Fibonacci point 6/8 and 2/8 ), what if we traded them in reverse ie with the trend to the 8/8 and 0/8 octaves which is a major support or resistance point. As usually price moves 2 octaves . Just a thought I had .
