Your Broker must have all 28 pairs shown by the buttons for the EA to work, apparently you are missing some or don't have them in your watch list.
Hi Seller,
my broker does' t have the 28 currency pairs, only 22 pairs. How do I know what kind of a way to change the watch list? Thank you for your help.

Hey Everyone, I am reading through the thread with great interest. Meanwhile I am also testing the EA. And I would like to give seller some feedback.

First of all, great EA we have here. Thank you seller for the effort you take. It is greatly appreciated. I only encountered a few problems.

1. When I try to close an active trade manually (trade was initiated via robot), sometimes it freeses. See the first picture. It literally looks that way in the MT4 (price is moving, but everything else just stops). And my main concern is that the robot does not close the positions belonging to that magic number.

2. When I close the MT4 with an active trade and staring it again (I do that on weekends), mostly the robot does not pick up the trade where we lest off. I mean it recognizes that there is an active trade going on, but it looks just as on the second attachment (instead of 'Active trade' it says 'Np auto trading'). My concern is that the robot stops managing the trades as well. If an exit rule is present, it does not close the trades.

I tried it with different brokers and several reinstalls. The problem persists.

Please let me know if anybody encountered the same problems, or if I am missing something (which can very well be the case). Can it be the MT version (it is 745)?

I've got couple of other minor bugs, but the above two is huge for me.

Thanks.

Robert

Hi Yoana,

You need to change to other broker which offer you 28 pairs.

Hi Robertos,

Q1:
When I try to close an active trade manually (trade was initiated via robot), sometimes it freeses. See the first picture. It literally looks that way in the MT4 (price is moving, but everything else just stops). And my main concern is that the robot does not close the positions belonging to that magic number.

A1:
- It freeze due to the MT4 load and internet speed. Otherwise it will be no delay at all.
- It seems that you forgot about the R button next to Close button. The R button are at manual mode where the EA will not close automatically. You need to click the R button until the yellow color appear where that is an auto close mode for the said magic number.

Q2:
When I close the MT4 with an active trade and staring it again (I do that on weekends), mostly the robot does not pick up the trade where we lest off. I mean it recognizes that there is an active trade going on, but it looks just as on the second attachment (instead of 'Active trade' it says 'Np auto trading'). My concern is that the robot stops managing the trades as well. If an exit rule is present, it does not close the trades.

A2:
- EA will not function during market close due to broker server shutdown on weekends. You will be in control once the broker server start up but you need to make sure the R button in auto mode before you click "Start Live Trading". The EA will pick up back to control where you initiate the entry.
- As for me as a BT EA user, if I still have active trade, I will not close my MT4. This will avoid any technical error or handling error once the broker server start up.

Hope this will answer your doubt.

Best regards.

Hi Kopra, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the problem is not that simple.

Ad A1: It not just freeses temporaily. The EA stops responding. Forever, I should say. I check it this morning (aprox. 8 hours after my post) and it was just as I left it in the evening. I can remove the EA, reload it to the chart, it picks up as nothing happened, but when I try to close the trade again , the same thing. However, I noticed that in the Event log, it says that trade cannot be closed due to FIFO rule. I know what the FIFO rule means, but I cannot interpret it to the current situation. This means that the robot is actively trying to close the trade, but it can't. So I belive that the answer to my first question lies somewhere at my broker. I would belive that the EA stops responding until it is able to close those trades and, for some reason those requests are not fulfilled.
As for the R buttons: t is just with the screnshot. I always check to be sure that the R button is on (as it is on my 2nd screenshot).

Ad A2: I tried that too, but sometimes the EA just stop managing the trades, and the Status looks as I posted earlier, no matter what I do (I tried stopping the EA, then reloading it).
If I do not close the MT4 everything is fine in this regard, but I use a separete notebook for trading, and it is a waste of energy to be keeping it on when I do not use it. I am not a blind environmentalist, but I like to be conscious about my energy consumption for the planet's and for my bills' sake.

Hi Robertus,

I only answer base on your questions. I can't see the actual problem like FIFO trace, flag or something else.

So, as a user, we always check again our offline chart setup either basket create indi is still available at the blank page or not because that is also related to the EA and other system communications logics. If the said indi is gone means that is due to handling issue and you may need to trade on your own until you exit your orders. You can setup new offline chart if you wish to make new entry.

You also can experiment to reinstall the EA and input the same magic number, same currency pairs on your new offline chart and make entry manually. Maybe you'll get the chances to pick up the basket in to control. I never did this before but if I'm facing such issue in demo account, I will do this experiment and handling experience.

If this issue persist from the first time you use BT EA, maybe you should contact your broker and seek advise. I have been using BT EA quite sometime and have never face such problem and consider BT EA is a smooth running system as long we handle appropriately.

Regarding the 'waste energy', I have no comment. I'm only consider how to secure your orders and no consideration for environmental friendly commitment. If you want to spend a little bit money, you may hire VPS services to run BT EA 24/7 with peace of mind. It is all up to you to make best decision for your own benefits and your environmental surroundings.

All the best and good luck.

Kopra.

Hey Kopra, thanks again for your reply. My first question is answered, it is related to my broker, not to the EA.

The second problem is still a problem. I am not complaining about it, there are ways to circumvent it for a minimal price (close all positions at the end of the week, open it up again at the beginning of the next), I just want to know if anyone encountered this previously. If not, something is wrong with my setup, and not with the EA. Anyway, I just wanted to give my feedback, in the first half of the thread I did not find such problem mentioned. maybe it helps seller to perfect the robot.
The VPS is definitely an option I am considering. I haven't had the time to look into it, but it is a very good idea. Thanks.

Robert

Hi Sellar9,

Providing a button to open up a particular pair's chart is fast and easy rather than selecting from the long watch list.
Please reconsider this function as you designed previously.

Hi Seller,


In Looking more at the tool you created, I do not think the Levels as attached matters as traders probably do not take note of them in making decisions.

If we can do with out those columns, that will be great as it makes it tidy and simpler, just my opinion as always.

I attached a screenshot of the part on the indi I mean.

Just a thought anyway and thanks for all your efforts indeed.
