sorry basber, blackbox trading will have to come later, only after this EA is finalised.

v0.19 changelog
1) updated trading rules according to basber's clarifications
2) fixed for 4 digit brokers


4 digit broker users, pls check if it now places trades correctly. It was coded originally with 5 digit brokers in mind, but should do 4 digit ones properly now, provided you change the user variable decimal from 5 to 4 when u attach the EA.

EA will now only delete pending orders for secondary orders once primary tp2 is hit. Primary orders from other side of bracket will be left intact(hopefully)

Hi DP

in my expert folder I have found a text document with the following text in it:

1;39;;;Function "_values_init" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
1;39;;;Function "_set_box" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file

I hope it helps

Hi Deathbait

I had version 19 attached both for Sunday open and today Monday open with time set to GMT + 2 since I use FXDD and it placed no orders. It did not update the Fib box yesterday and it did update it today but only blocked out the first 2 hours from yesterday rather than 24 hours.

Those are redundant functions that will eventually be removed, don't worry about it.

We have a problem with the boxing you showed me though. I can't replicate it. And if I can't replicate it, I have no idea how to fix it.

Here's v0.19 on my chart, placed there right after i published it here yesterday. As you can see, it drew perfectly and placed orders correctly. If it works on mine, I really have no idea how it doesn't work on yours. Your screenshots really do help though, and I think if you keep posting screenshots, I'll eventually be able to see why it's happening.

Honestly, the only conclusion I can draw from your charts currently is that the problem is in the values initialising phase.

Hi, could you include a chart next time? I'm not quite sure what you mean. I only released v0.19 after monday open.

Just as a reminder on how this ea works guys:

It will only place orders at 0GMT(if you set the broker time correctly of course).

At 0GMT, it redraws the box to reflect the range, and updates all the variables before setting the orders. If no orders are set at 0 GMT, there SHOULD be an error message under the "experts" tab.

It really helps alot if you guys can include a screenshot when you describe your problem, preferably with the experts tab open.

thanks

Thanks, Deathbait. By changing daystart input from 2 to 3 on FXDD platform seems to have corrected the fib box problem. I will check tomorrow if it will enter orders at the start of the day Tuesday.

Hi Bob,

Sorry, you misunderstood me. My remarks were General not pointing out to any particular person.
You are much senior than me and I have great respects for you.
Please do not take it personally.

The simplest System is to Buy at the Support and Sell at the Resistance using Stochastics. If you wish I can start a thread and show you the daily performance.

John
I like S/R levels and stoch too.... can you open a thread?
Many thanks and sorry for OT

Well, I switched from my xp netbook to my vista laptop and it looks fine. I don't know why this is happening, xp supposed to be better with mt4.

I will be a bit upset as I downgraded to xp with trading in mind.

There's a refresh option if u right click your chart. Not sure if it works. I just close my chart and open a new one when I suspect something Is wrong

Daystart should be 3, and box + orders will only be set at brokertime 0000+daystart, so in your case, 0300. Correct the daystart value and wait a few more hours

Day's not over yet bro

Unfortunately no. Still buggy. I changed daystart to 3 on FXDD. It still has not updated fib box or entered orders.

This sounds like a silly idea, but maybe you should try rebooting=)

Unfortunately I turned off my fxdd mt4 yesterday. I'll leave it on to see if mine takes the next open

Could you please open a new chart, put on just the EA, and take a screen shot with the experts tab open?
Preferably with the last bar visible too. thanks
