Hi TCO I installed the EA v1.4 on demo accounts with IBFX (16 charts) and FXCM (8 charts) without any problems. But when I started to install it on ActivTrades I got also problems with the CPU. I could only manage to install it on 3 charts. With the next chart the CPU gets problems and under the Experts tab there is the message: shutdown by timeout. That might give a hint. But it is weird that it happens only with this account. erin1

Yeah, I'm not sure why the high CPU usage. I put some print statements in the EA today. It it wasn't even cycling through any of the logic...but I was still getting 25 % cpu usage per mt4. I would expect that the print statements would show up because we aren't receiving ticks at the moment. but why the 25 % cpu usuage. When I dropped XAGUSD, it went back down to normal amounts. So I don' tknow what the cause is. Hopefully we can get it straightened out. Thanks!

Something doesn't seem right. I have 16Gb ram and my cpu usage is hitting 100%. Also the turbo fan is kicking in and properties is not allowing me to open the EA to make changes. This is all that shows up on my chart once I rebooted MT4. Any idea?

Add: Just FYI-When you delete the EA, object 16-20 stays on the chart and doesn't clear with the rest of the settings. You have to go into objects list to clear. When I go to add the EA back onto the chart, it shows the smiley face but no settings and you cannot pull up the properties of the EA to make changes. It also kicks cpu usage to 14% with only one chart with the EA attached. No problem when I delete and replace with v1.03.

Hi pret

I have 16 GB ram.


Hi MKFXTrader

I now made the charts big and I also found these items on the bottom still on the chart with the EA removed.

{quote} Thanks TF. What is your lower TF trigger? How is it set up?
Using W%R on the hourly. Trade is triggered as soon as it hits OB/OS (no close or confirmation), just as in 100Pips' original thread.

Prices are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

There is a typo in the mentioned function. A for-loop without a break-condition.

Insert

Counter >= 0

{quote} Tech10Ken I use a program called Snagit. They have various Screen capture modes, this one is called Scrolling. So to be clear, you can not use it to open and modify the Input settings in the Input window,but I do use it to print the Default settings out. I then create my other test settings in columns the the right which I name and I then save in the .set files after modifying the Input window. That Window like many other features in MT4 is designed to make things hard on you. I have also used the "Input Resizer" which I got from Steve...
Thanks for your help with that Fxarcher. I understand all that now. Much appreciated.

I see. I'm sure TCO is looking into it. That's something he needs to fix as I know nothing about programming.

You may have got that from the other site, but it originates from here

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=299017

Which is a mote point because the best option is to run RESIZE ENABLE as described in that thread

http://download.cnet.com/Resize-Enab...-75447319.html

Input Resizer can & will hang your Metatrader platform just when you least expect it, and can least afford to be re-booting it

This I have found out for sure
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Thanks Erebus.
I originally thought there might be a simple option within MT4 to resize that I just wasn't aware of. I think I'll just leave everything as it is. It's not that important and certainly not worth any potential problems it might cause to Metatrader.

You can run RESIZE ENABLE with no problem, it is for Windows and helps with all programs not just MT4 - just read about it at that cnet link

Hi TS, this would explain why I was getting high CPU usage for XAGUSD, since I didn't have a previously closed order so there would be no break out of the for loop. I will make the updates that you suggested and repost version 1.4. Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks for your reply, turtlefan. Can I ask what percentage of capital you risk on each trade? I think by closing at 3% this might have a major positive impact on your results (could be very relevant for all of us), so could I ask how many times your basket of trades has been closed at 3% in the two months?

Thanks and impressive results!
