Hi TCO and/or PC Experts,

I'm using 2 accounts with 25 pairs each an same PC, everything seems to work properly (only FF pages are loading slowly), CPU usage 10-20%.

I have a lot of open positions, should I still update to the "new" EA 1.4 (just corrected by TCO) or remain on the "old" one. If updating...how to do, simply override or delete and attach the new EA? What happens then with the open positions?

Many thanks for support and help!

cheers, jdva

Hy ... I'm trying new 1.4 for many pairs EA doesn't open any order. Look at above screen i suppose it's the right moment to open a sell order... What's wrong? Any suggest? {image}
5 posts - how long have you been using MT4? have you used an EA successfully before now? checked all the MT4 settings?


EDIT: you don't mention which strategy we are using, they don't all give signal at same time; and that chart, too busy, maybe it is TCO template, I don't know, I didn't use it, but really you need to narrow the indicators down to just the ones you need for the time frame you are on!

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Hi jdava,
The new EA should continue to manage existing trades as long as the trade strategy/Take Proft/Stop Loss/Trend method/William%R values settings are as per your old EA.
Else, you can close all your trades in positive pips and start the new EA version fresh.

Cheers

Hi TCO,

in addition to the earlier mentioned typo in the code
the new "last closed order delay" - logic is buggy:

see "Bars since closed order" is 0 or sometimes -1 when there is no closed order with the magic number

so there will be no trades taken, unless there are earlier trades with the symbol and the magic number

jdva,
you can deactivate the logic with ClosedOrderDelay = -1 or 0


TCO,
one more thing: the trade history is often randomly sorted, the first hit is not the latest in your logic


best regards TSGarp

*** Update Update Update Update ***

Hi Team, I have removed the close order delay code for now. It is too buggy and not working the way I had hoped. Please download the new EA from post 1. I will download my new set files when I can. Sorry for the confusion and any inconvenience. Please report any other issues. Thanks - TCO.

It's a real invisible EA now, not only for the broker.

Hi TCO,
it seems missing again in post 1.

Hi TCO,

Thanks for everything. Love your new 1.4EA. Today morning I have loaded two charts for E/U one with your new template & new EA, second with EMA indicator only. I feel both chart should look similar as far as D1 concern, but they are not. Why I don't know. Can you please guide me. I am not professional like you. Appreciate your help.

Yes , they look indeed different. One is black, and the other is white. That is not good.

Hi Bomi,

If you are talking about the appearance of the chart they are different because of difference in formatting, i.e. colour of bars, background colour etc, which you can change if you right click on the chart and select the last option 'chart properties' I think, I am at work so can't do it for you and send you screen shots.

If you are talking about the data, I think they are showing exactly the same data.

Please let us know what you are referring to when you say they look different, is it the data or is it the appearance of the chart ???

Hi Bomi,

I don't know what exactly you want to compare. You must look in the template what indicators you have with which parameters. Then, you can compare that with the other chart in the same way.

The first thing I see, is that you have the EA attached to a daily chart. I think, that should be an hourly chart.

Also, the stoch and the W%R belong on the hourly chart , not on the daily. So : switch to hourly !

And here is a job for you to do : Check out, which parameters are needed for the daily MACD.

I think he's talking about the different EMA looks - I am wondering this myself aswell.

I want to start testing some H4 settings with EMA+MACD in 1.4, i know i have to change the "60" to "240" from the LTF signal. But do i also have to change numbers in the EMA settings, when i want to trade a higher TF?
