The latest update that tries to ensure there is a new quote before trying again to send a trade after an 'invalid stop' error, is not working.

It stops the bot dead in its tracks, caught in an endless loop. You need to comment out the line of code OldBid = Bid;

I have no idea why this is not working.

Bloody Hell Fire.

Ok, so I can overcome this by programming a deletion function into the bot, but that isn't the point.

Time to jump criminals, I think.

Running total so far:
Wins: 6
Loss: 1

I wish more of my bots made this sort of start. Most of them do not even make it to my demo.

Using the root system I got 7 wins and 3 losses.


And Steve, when I asked you for the option to disarm Hh Hl and Lh Ll I wanted the possibility to discard PwR as indicator, that is, the Ea opens a new pending, limit or whatever at each candle according to the direction the user chooses.
I'm testing another indicator as guide for trading and using this EA with manual permission I can do it.
I will leave the EA trading overnight as well, let's see what happens...

There was some maintenance on the MT4 programs by several brokers, this weekend. Begin by downloading the MT4 program again.

First Asian trade sent at 12.08 am, last at 6.55 am, so you might not consider the last one as belonging: 5 winners, 3 losers, 5 expired unfilled.

Total so far:
Winners: 11
Losers: 5

This is the first scalper I have coded that has started so well without taking insane risks with r:r.

You have my attention now. I do not fully understand what you want the no hi-lo/PwR bot to do. Put it into words of one syllable and I will code it for you.

Although to early to say, I think this EA does require the volatility of the london/us sessions

either that or a min SL, during the AS the candles can be so small that getting stopped out is pretty much guaranteed especially as no spread calculations are taking place

example early hours of the morning when the SL was only 4 pips, considering at the time my spread had spiked to 1.8 pips I was effectively dealing with a 2.2 SL (which of course it brushed then shot down to what would have been a winner)

But as Steve says, very promising start.

Further point to my previous one, as no spread calculations are taking place the R:R ratio is not quite 1:1,

therefore it will require about 60 % win ratio to breakeven

so either spread calculations would need to be added to ensure a 1:1 risk reward, or up the tp to say 1.5

I do not suppose it is a coincidence that most Euro traders trade during London hours.

Good point, which I yesterday tried to solve by putting in SL 10 and TP 12 static.... lets see

But ofcorse it would be nice to have that part automated as well, and more profitable hopefully!

Thanks to all...

Maestro Steve, if you got that "delete function" added to Auora, it would make us fxcm peasants very delighted

Latest update in post 1:

 

  1. moved the take profit input to its own sections and added the option to include the spread - this affects only the auto-calculated tp based on the candle spread.
  2. added functionality that should delete unfilled pendings after PendingExpiryMinutes, for the FXCM peasants. Please check that this is working properly and sing out if not.

I still cannot work out A goes into an endless loop when I tell her to try to send a post-failure trade only following a new quote. Instead I have increased the default SleepSeconds to 5 and reduced MaxNoOfRetries to 35, or roughly 3 minutes. This will have to do for now.
