This is the original bot before stealth etc. It is OOTB and running 24/5. I have some other demos running as well and will get them set up for tracking as well.

EA did an excellent job of saving a good trade gone bad this morning. Took a long at 07.10 bst and although it went well into profit, price fell hard before it got there. The TS feature prevented a loss. Obviously it's a bit gutting to see a big profit fail to materialise, but preventing a big loss is far more important imo.

I have started collating some comparitive data between trades taken ootb using MinCandleSize of 9 and those trades which would have been taken using a CCI filter. Interesting comparison so far, but i'll report back at the end of the week with a full 5 days of results.

Great work Steve.

Yes, I saw that too - automatically closed at BE on my Oanda account but interestingly on Alpari UK (demo) it let it run and I took profit manually. As far as I can see the settings are identical. Hmm

Hmmmm, funny; i'm using Alpari UK (demo) too and the TS feature worked.

You're not running the older EA on Alpari are you?

Hi,
thanks for the input. My data is tick and it is 90%. To trade you have to have the odds on your side. I don't trade without some form of testing. How do you know it will work long term?

Backtesting does not give accurate results for a scalper. Actually, it does not give accurate results for anything, but it murders scalpers.

John is clearly a professional programmer. I am a highly experienced coder. We both have a lot of experience using ST. It is useless for anything other than basic code debugging, and I suspect deliberately so. You can take notice of what we say, or you can waste your time with ST. 'tis up to you.

The only way to start to test an EA/strategy is by forward testing on demo. Even that has fatal flaws. The only way to actually test an EA/strategy is on a live account with tiny lots.

Gi needed a couple of changes after John sent back a response. pending trades are deleted after a fresh signal. I have also coded deletion after a change of trading direction.

Update in post 1.

No, it's the latest version, OOTB except for trading hours.

Round numbers bug ?

I thought Aurora shouldnt take trades off round numbers ? Instead i see pending order line.
Could be wrong but I think the round number filter only applies if entry price and TP straddle the round number. In this case both are below.

Latest updates to both bots in post 1 - the same update for both.

I have made the point at which they move the stop line to breakeven, a percentage of the take profit. Details in post 1, but should be pretty obvious.

This should be the last updates for a while. We shall see.

GI bug - this time for sure. I watched opening the order and it immediately closed with small loss.
Or could be because i use both Aurora and GI on the same pair on one MT4 ...
