Hi there,
I like simplicity, so I downloaded this last night...a few questions/points:

I got various 129 and 130 errors on pairs involving JPY, but the others I tested set orders absolutely fine (I'm on Alpari UK).
What did the logs say?

130: Invalid stops. Maybe your SL and/or TP was too tight? 2StepOrder on or off?
129: Invalid price. Price changed? If you are running multiple copies or other EAs then the EA may have to wait for another EA to finish with the it's business before it can open a trade and the price may change. Then comes the dilemma. What to do? Requires more rules.

Quote
Ended up with 8 pairs open at once on M15 timeframe - watched a few before leaving it overnight. After 8 hours it had placed 47 orders across the pairs - 29 hit TP of 5 pips and 18 hit S/L of 10 pips, for an overall net loss of £0.57...

So just from last night - 62% win rate. Just need to work on my TP and SL now!
Nice.

Can you please explain:
Order.MovetoBE
Order.BEOffset
Order.Slippage
Did you check the comments for the input parameters? BE=BreakEven.

Order.MoveToBE=0; // Move to BE at profit level...
Order.BEOffset=0; // Offset to add to BE position to account for the spread
Order.Slippage=5; // Maximum Order slippage

Your broker may or may not support the slippage parameter.

Can I use these to let the winners run a bit longer? Or can I use this EA in conjunction with a Steve's MPTM without conflicts?
You can only run one EA on Each chart and should not have more than one EA managing each trade. Use whichever you prefer.

Lovely little EA - thank you for sharing!
You are welcome.

Left this running for almost 24 hours on the following pairs:

AUDUSD, EURAUD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF

All on M15 trading 0.01 lots.

It made 90 trades - 46 wins, 44 losses

A pivot table from the data:

Pair Profit
audusd -4.09
euraud 1.41
eurchf -1.11
eurgbp 0.8
eurusd -4.5
gbpusd 2.36
usdcad -0.63
usdchf -1.86

Looking at the two best profits and two best losses from above:
GBPUSD - 17 trades - 13 wins, 4 losses
EURGBP - 7 trades - 5 wins, 2 losses
EURUSD - 18 trades - 6 wins, 12 losses
AUDUSD - 20 trades - 8 wins, 12 losses


I have included images of GBPUSD and EURUSD below:

If you would like me to drill down anymore into this data then please let me know.

I will run on M30 next week and play with the money management side of things...

Regards
Ath

This EA is originally written to be used as part of a larger strategy. Running on its own, it is unlikely to be profitable. You could ask mobthehop how he uses it as he was the one who asked for it.

Thanks X and Mob for the advice - I'm only 3 months into demo trading so still a lot to learn!

I can see how the volatility of the lower TFs don't help, so I'm going to play with starting the EA on fewer pairs and only letting it trade in one direction (ie with the Daily or H4 overall trend).

Combined with MPTM I think I can tweak to a higher win:loss ratio and minimise the losses.

Thank you very much Xapod for sharing the EA and the code with it.

I have these requests for the EA:
1. can you make it exit on the opposite colour? i.e. if on sell when buy signal comes it will exit the sell at close of the bar and wait for next signal.

2. can we make the EA trade HA on lower TF in the same direction with higher TF Heiken Ashi. For example if 1HR HA is red it would only be taking sell trades on the 15M TF and vice versa.

I attach a picture for illustration

that is MTF trading and the best filter I know of

all the features you have are ok

 

  1. Fixed SL/TP
  2. Move SL to BE
  3. Trade on bar open only or on current tick
  4. Limit nr of trades/day
  5. Set to buy only, sell only or both
  6. Two step order open for ECN

finally got the EA to trade HA smoothed as I want it multi-timeframe trading the smaller TF in the direction of the bigger TF. Whether it is profitable? time will tell.

The EA will be pre-build 600. The easiest solution is to download a pre 600 metaeditor and compile the file in that software. Then copy just the .exe file into your MQL/Experts folder. It will then work.
Either that or pay someone to update it to post 600 build.

You cant expect Xaphod to support every bit of code he ever wrote, particular when this is an old piece of work.

Thats why he gave us the source code so we can self manage.

Post your results.
What's it all about? It's all about money.

Thanks Innate!

Addy you can:

  1. Do as Innate suggests. Use the old compiler to compile the program. There is a thread here in Platform Tech that explains how.
  2. There is a program on my website (see profile) you can use to upgrade most of my MT4 programs so they at least compile in the newer MT4. You could try that. You may get an indicator not found alert which you can probably ignore.
  3. Wait until I have time to upgrade the programs. Possibly during this coming holiday break. There is already a queue of update requests and this is at the bottom of it.

Don't you Guy's know yet that an EA is absolutely useless, there has never been a consistent EA that makes money, they all started great but in the end failed dismally . Why?.. because it misses one crucial ingredient and that is DISCRETION. Forget the EA's and learn to trade the price.
Good luck.

As-salamalaikum Dear "Kosomolate" your chart looks very promising, is that a HA indi showing both TF direction in one chart, (4hr & 1hr Haikenashi direction)
Then it will be easy to trade, can i get your chart template if u don't mind.

Thanks & Regards
