Hi Seller9,

Is it possible to add a termination time/date for all the open trades to close? If a trader does not want to have any trades open out of his trading period or over the weekend, then he would close the trades, whether is in lost or profit.

Thanks.

Try this latest version 17, I added a delay on the alerts.
As you can see in the previous post I was not getting the continuous alerts with this version.

Also make sure "AlertModeOnly" is set to false.

After using this version, the repeated alert is no longer there, but the SL is also not updated.

I had some good luck with just scalping the H1 the past 10 hours or so, 9 straight wins without a loss so far with these settings. Most traders won't like the risk reward but money is money. I haven't tried the settings on a lower time frame where the ATR is a lot smaller. The USDJPY trade is still open, strange thing about that trade is the PA went through my TP I had set with the Broker and did not close. This is a Demo account. I have included the settings file.

this thing is constantly scalping if the conditions for opening trades are still met. very nice. maybe increasing the Candle2TradeWindowMinutes from 30 to 60 would bring more trades. if the conditions after 30 minutes are still good as right now, why not opening more new trades?

It's looking to be several small wins and one big loss, erasing most of the gains. What's the best way to solve that... any ideas? Other than manually closing the trade?

An idea, Scalper should stop to send buy or sell orders when stock is > 80 or < 20, for example, and close orders open !

stop sending new orders is already done with: UseStochastics=1.

but the closing all orders would be a good idea for a scalper. what about that, seller? is this possible?

Put the H1 Scalper on a live account last night and I had 27 trades so far with 25 wins and 2 losses. I will post the results later today after its done this morning. Do need to find a better SL setting to use though to keep the Stop Losses smaller.

hi seller,

i think the SL is ok, a scalper needs a big stop loss. the PA often changes direction first (after tdi cross), before it continues in the right direction. and if the SL is too small, you will have too many losers.
in strong moves like today these settings are amazing, but when the momentum slows down, the strong movement is finished, then the bot has to close the trades. so i think the idea with the stoch-setting (above 80 or below 20 close all open trades in this pair) is very good.

i think i have found some good settings for this bot, using the zone and trading the pullback of outbreaks of the tma trend-channel. 21 trades today and 21 winners.

but first i have to analyze something about the zone, thefore i need the zone-percent of the current PA in numbers and not only a red, green or yellow lamp, for a finetuning.

seller, is it possible to include this number into the datadisplay, like you did it for the stochastics, slope, etc. ? that would be very nice and i could move on to improve the settings and give it to everyone here.

No problem, I will get to it.

Could you post a chart with your settings and time frame of where you are at so far?

Thanks

Well the Robot finished its hours this morning with 35 trades total running the scalping H1 settings. I closed the last few trades this morning and took a loss on them as they looked to going no where, so those losers are at the bottom of the chart. I think I will change my hours and remove 2 hours from the end so they will now be 0 - 8 and 12 - 12 CST and I think I will change my Stop Loss to 1.5 multiplier instead of 2.0.
I need to find a better way to exit when the momentum changes to the other direction, need to make the losers smaller or the winners bigger. It was still in the green, so thats good, and this was a real live account.

of course. screenshot attached. i use m15.
for a trade trigger i only use the zone with multiplier 130% and stochastics. after i realized that some trades were opened too early, i also added stoch slope today, to be sure that the pullback into the channel really has started. but since these changes i had no trade again. the PA of some pairs was outside the channel a few hours ago (i think far enough to be at 130%), but the zone in the data-display was yellow all the time. that's why i need the current percentage in numbers.

i thought about a good exit if the PA goes into the wrong direction or the momentum slows down. what are you thinking about the UseTdiCloseONflat-setting?

Which stop loss are you using?
UseCandleTrailingStop

This was set using Star's setfile.

Alert window indicate it has sent SL, but broker does not response. Thus, the price stays. Previously, EA will keep sending until the price appear correct. So, I guess you might have changed it to send once? Just a guess.
