I ran similar test, and it worked perfectly fine.

Can you run again and check the log for any errors, because I couldn't simulate the same bug on my platform.

Hi Abokwaik,

Glad to see that the Bigcandle ea will be also discussed here. Regarding that, can you make it work in pips instead ATR based?
For example:

1.) Take the trade when the big candle moves certain distance in pips: stop loss at opposite of candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional)

2.) Take the trade at the close of the candle when the big candle moves certain distance in pips: stop loss at the middle of the candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional)

3.) Take the trade at the close of the candle when it moves certain distance or more that we input in pips: stop loss at the low/high of the candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional)

4.) Take the trade at the close of the candle when it moves certain distance or more that we input in pips: stop loss at the middle of the candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional).
When 1st trade is taken, put pending order in the same direction of the trade where the stop loss is (at the middle of the candle); stop loss at the low/high of the candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional).

Wish you all the best,

Welcome aboard dragan,

I will consider your requests when discussing the Big Candle robot.

Anyone else used/tested the "Big_Candle", I would like to know your comments as well.

{quote} Hi abokwaik, Thanks for your prompt and amazing work. Generally, the EA works properly as desired. But I find a bug in the long trade (only in long trade). Sometimes, not always, the trailing stop and close half position functions do not work properly. After the stop loss moved to the entry price, it does not work any more, and no half position is closed. For the conditions of opening a trade, in the current version, a trade will be opened when both the AO and AC bars are above or below the Zero line, am I right? According to ochuko's system,...
Ochuko System

Here is the second version of this Robot.

 

  1. According to ochuko's system, besides the other conditions, when both of them are in green, a long trade can be opened, and when they are red, a short trade can be opened, not necessarily above or below the Zero line.

    1. ​DONE


  2. ​And is it possible to add an option that allows to enable and disable the trailing stop

    1. ​DONE. set to 0 for default action (as in version 1), or to a number of pips (20, 100 ... etc) to activate, or to a big number (i.e. 20000) to disable


  3. ​and to set the percentage of closing a position. Now we will close half position when first target meets. I need an options that allows to set closing 1/2, 2/3, or something like that

    1. ​DONE. Not as a percentage, but as a fixed lot size for first take profit


​​Kindly test, and let us know whether it is working as expected or not.

I've just re-uploaded the robot in the previous post.
As I added another check:

  1. For opening a long entry, the Signal Candle should be Bullish
  2. For opening a short entry, the Signal Candle should be Bearish

Next we'll move to the system posted by TyLamai here

Thanks so much, abokwaik. I will test it and provide a feedback later.

A very interesting thread is developing: the Machine Learning with algoTraderJo
Specially stuff related to back testing robots.

I will have to spend some time there.

  3. PSAR_Step = 0.02 : Parbolic SAR indicator step parameter, better leave it as is
  4. PSAR_Max = 0.2 : Parbolic SAR indicator Max parameter, better leave it as is
  5. MA_Period = 200 : Moving Average Period
  6. MA_Method = 1; //0:Simple, 1:Exponential
  7. Trailing_SL_Pips = 0 ; Trailing Stop in pips

    1. 0 : default system setting (the distance between Order Open Price and the Low(for long)/High(for short) of the Signal Candle.)
    2. N : N pips
    3. to disable set as big number which can not be reached (e.g. 20000 for EUR/USD)

These errors I get. Can you please fix it friend?
I think it may be because I chose to close 0 as a partial TP close.

Fixed, and attached.
Now you can set Partial_TP_Lot_Size to 0 to disable partial profit taking.

Hey abokwaik, I have an idea for an EA if I may... I have no programming skills to know if this is possible or not or how difficult it will be. I have not traded like this live or demo because it is not really something which can easily be traded manually (as you will soon see)...hence my appealing for an EA to be created. *Note: I have not seen this in anyplace so if someone knows anyplace where an idea like this has been requested or exists please state it for the rest of us. Thanks. 1. This idea is based off of the Heiken Ashi (HA) default indicator...
HA_Rider : Heiken Ashi Rider

Version 1, attached.

Input Parameters :

  1. Fixed_Lot_Size = 0.1 : Lot Size for the first Order in the Chain, Change as you wish.
  2. Next_Lot_Perc = 0.8 : Lot Size for next order in the order chain as percentage of previous order size. Set to 1 if you want same lot size
  3. Min_Pips_Between_Orders = 20 : (multiple by 10 for 5-digit brokers.) I found this parameter necessary to avoid open multiple orders at the same or very near prices. To disable set to 0
  4. Max_Open_Orders = 10 : Max number of orders opened at the same time


Based on my tests the robot didn't produce profitable results.
Kindly test and advise whether it is working as expected or not.

@ TyLamai : I named this robot as HA_Rider, I hope its OK with you !

I must apologize guys, I edit my posts a LOT, as I am doing multiple things at the same time.

So please bear with me and refresh new posts.

Oh, just did it again!

This of course does not include updated versions of robots. Those I will clearly identify.

Hi abokwaik, you are an excellent coder. I tested this system several times, and it worked as expected. However, as you can see, the test result is not impressive. I think this strategy is still useful if we make it into an sound alert system or indicator. Would you please help make it out?

No. Only Robots here. No human intervention. Sorry.

Don't get confused with my post here. It talks about Management not intervention.
