Hendrick, could you please post your most recent v65 results? I've been running it for the last 36 hrs, and it's only executed 2 trades. This is after running it all last week, and it executed 0 trades. I'm not sure what's going on.

Can you please save and upload your settings as well - I'm having the same problem where the EA is not making any trades.

Thanks,

Also, I do not understand the coding very well, so this is relevant information:

I am testing this EA on a $500 live account trading 0.1 MINI lots. Could the "extern double Percent" variable or the "Increasement" variable have something to do with why it's not trading?

I cannot see why this is not making any trades. Unless your timeframe on your chart is not set to 30 minutes...

Hold the Phone... A .5 lot size on a $500 account? I don't think so. I think you are getting margin called before you begin...

Your stop size at 200 is $1000 on a $500 account

LoneSpruce, Do you have a micro Lot account? Otherwise you cannot place a 0.05 lot trade.

Hey Jones, Im new to this EA stuff. Do you actually have to have a broker linked to MT4 to run an EA, or can you just do it with like a starting balance of 5,000 from an MT4 demo account? Or, maybe you can gimme a link to where I can read about accounts in relation to MT4. Thanks in advance.

If you are asking, Can I auto trade with a demo account of $5000? the answer is yes, through any MT4 enabled Broker. If you are asking, Can I auto trade using an EA with any Broker? The answer is no. They must have MT4 as their platform. I suppose you could take signals from when your MT4 EA places an order and then manually place the same order with any broker. But, then that is not really auto trading. However, it is very mechanical. So, I suppose there is a plus in doing that.

I am no expert in MT4, much less EAs. But that is how I understand it.

Not sure,

But the trades that have been opened have worked just fine. I think as long as you are in demo mode you can pretty much enter any lot size you want as long as you have enough margin.

Jones - It is .5 MINI lot size on a $500 account. That's only $25 in margin.

Well, the strangest thing happened this morning. I have the EA running on a USD/JPY chart, and it actually executed 1 trade, but it's heading in the wrong direction. Waiting to see if it purchases an additional lot the way it is supposed to.

No, that is how it trades. There is a indicator I posted a little back that will draw the lines to show you what it is doing. A sell is correct, because it trys to trade at extremes. It does not follow the trend. In fact a strong trend will kill it.

Thanks Scott

Trade is still in progress, but Trailing Stop doesn't appear to be working.
