The third trade from last night with the Pivots EA just closed, so 3 trades and 3 winners.

They all hit the S1 profit target.

Seller9,
Promising start. I assume the EA is on build 419, as it doesn't work on my iBFX version 409. Is it easy to compile a version on build 409 so i can test it out?
thanks.

I don't have 409 any more as the account that had 409 did an upgrade to 419, can you upgrade to 419?

i downloaded the latest version from IBFX USA and it still comes over as build 409. No big deal. I will download version 419 from one of the other guys and demo it. I usually like to test on my live account at a penny a pip, but can play around with this on demo.
thanks.

Hey everyone, migrating over from TMS forum

I love the new ETB (new for me at least lol) and I'm familiar with about 80% of the inputs already. One problem I'm having is that when I set autorestart robot and restart on new candle to true, the EA doesn't restart for a new trade. It just hangs on trading suspended.

When I turn it off, its great for a bit then something happens and I get 150 trades triggered, all for a loss of the spread within 1 minute or 2 tops.

The other thing I'm experiencing is JSL being hidden. For me when I set hidden BEJS to true, when all those trades are triggered, my trading journal says stopped out due to BEJS.

Any suggestions? is this a bug, or is my setup for the EA conflicting with the restart on new candle parameter?

Last month, while developing the Pivots EA, you posted in the Ultimate TRADE EA Thread that you used different logic and get excelent results. Is this logic included in the new version and what setup are you using to apply this logic?

Thanks

The last two days I have tried a little different trade logic than what unimak stated in a previous post, now that he has stated the procedure to open a trade I can get started on getting that into the EA and see what the difference would be. But for the last two days I have tried something a little different after looking at a lot of charts and pivot points. I won't say what the logic is at this time because I am sure unimak probably won't like it, but its something to try anyway and we are here to try and make money which ever direction we take....

Hi ,

I'm also having that problem. I'm testing with 4 different brokers and settings nd haven't figured out what might be the problem. If I take this "bug" trades out I'm having good results with the ETB EA.

Just installed latest ETB Build. I'm still seeing trading suspended notification after about 2 closed trades

Here are my trade closure settings (the one's I mention are the only ones set to true):

close on static TDI cross?: true
use 5ema candle close?: true
5lma to close?: was set to true, but just removed it
use ma to close?: was set to true but removed that one too. I didn't set MA settings to trigger trade, so maybe this might have had to due with it?

Candlestick Trailing stop?: True (2) offset (1)
BEJS?: true
Hide BEJS?: false (wanted it to be true but thought it was causing problems)
BE pips:10
BE profit: 1
BEJS: 7



Any suggestions Seller9? Also, thank you for all your hard work regardless. you are amazing!!

By chance is the trade signal still present?

The Robot will stay suspended until there is no trade signal present, it will only restart on new candle if no trade signal is present. So the trade signal has to go away also.

well for right now I'm running visual backtests. What I see is the TDI cross(1) has a signal, but the 5ema candle close wouldn't (yellow) then when the new candle comes out, TDI cross will go to yellow and 5ema will turn green or red.

So by what you're saying will that mean that the EA will not reset itself as long as one of these two trade entry triggers is signaling?

I just doublechecked my visual backtests. Both of my trade triggers are yellow, meaning there is no signal correct? as of right now, trading is saying suspended after it's second trade. no red or green signals from either setting for entry

Any luck on a fix for this Seller9?

Using the EA in post 819 (forgot to mention that earlier). I've only tried it via backtest, so is it that the EA can't be backtested or is it just a bug?

I think that might be it. Running it real time right now and it's restarting just as normal.

I don't think so.

I'm testing real time with diferent brokers and pairs. And some time (don't know why) the robot take several trade one after another a close it the next second with a hidden stop loss, even if you don't have one.

For this is the only thing keeping me to go live.

The problem with backtesting is the EA looks for information that is not available in a back test causing the backtest not to work properly.

The EA will take the first trade and stay suspended after that so no more trades will be taken in a back test.

Just uploaded a bug fix to version 109 on the first page, give it a try, it should stop the closure of Hidden Stop Loss Hit when BEJS is not being used.
