Dave, I'm using the EA with price crosses EMA 5 Shift2 with RSI 13 70/30 with Heiken candle without stop or tp happens that when manually closing the position EA opens again another position.
If I manually close the position he should not open new location in the same candle, how can I solve this?
If you can also respond to my first post thanked
thank you very much
Does the solution is to disable the EA so it opens a position?

You criticize others and then do the same, do not know what harm I did you, I do not have to intrude in discussions that are not mine, you know what I'm talking about being able to help because EA does it very well thank you.

{quote} Hi Swimmax I am testing UJ pair with PSAR/ADX set on M15. My platform throw this error "2015.02.05 15:18:29.146 '12432712': order buy 1.87 USDJPY opening at market sl: 0.000 tp: 0.000 failed [Off quotes] " Literally no trade was open. Is there something I have not done right. The set use is the same setup as your test.

the Preset file for the PSAR is the H1 time frame. i would not use it on any different time frame. i think that is way you are getting an error for that.

in the preset files the NUMBER represents the time frame you should have open on the chart.

I do not think this is directed at your comments specifically but Dave has been probably the most helpful person i have seen in a while.

No one reads the first post in these forums and go through the rules, that is LAZY! I have answered probably 5 questions on the same exact little subject what does _15 mean.
So Dave has every right to be frustrated.

Every other forum they ban you for asking stupid questions or not posting charts if you have a problem.

Thanks Swimmax. I was attempting the setup referencing to your set image grab for the test. I will reset the test to base tomorrow and see how it goes.

I have difficulties with English so sometimes be misunderstood, the work of David is excellent and I appreciate, I read the help manual but I can not put in the configuration so that it does not open more positions so that the SL OR TP is achieved if you can show I'm grateful.
what it says in the manual

Continuous Straddle - Similar to the above, except that the pending trades are
placed as soon as the EA is activated. Once the activated trade has closed either
due to Take Profit or Stop Loss, another set of pending trades is placed immediately
again. The concept is that once price action is confirmed, your trade will activate
the direction of the trend and you will be continually trading with the trend.

If you can fill the frame for me to see how I am grateful.

Machd4

That is why it is called a continuous Straddle it repeats forever. If you only want it to do 1 trade then you need to make sure the EA is turned off right after the buy stop and sell stop are activated.
This is used on the one M1 timeframe

You might want to just have either the EMA Cross or the RSI open on one chart and not both, i think it is canceling eachothers properties out.

Sorry swift, I was making some changes to my demo and posted that directly in the middle of some changes and backtesting

make sure to use the chart with the correct time frame presets and remember BACKTEST everything before trading with live money.

Hi macdh4.

Manual description is matching the behaviour of this straddle EA. I have been watching one of my test trade with this, on on condition of a TP/SL new set of order is queue. I suppose if you wanted more enteries, a new chart can help.

Hi Dave Been testing your EA for sometime now and at the moment i thought i would load one of your .set files {file} When backtested over a month it only places 7 trades which is low considering its a pretty tight constant straddle strategy here are a few of the trades {image} I then checked the jounal and there was loads of these errors {image} Also using the Multipliers shouldnt the lot size increase after a losing trade
I noticed that if you are in strategy tester you need to make sure of two things:
1. that the spread is either current or 2
2. to go to expert properties hit the reset button, and then reload the preset
3. Make sure that the preset (ie. _15 or _60) matches the time period you have chosen.

Hope that helps

{quote} In my last reply, I suggested you separate the charts because there are so many arrows on the chart that you have sent me, it is almost unintelligible. I have re-run the EA again, and did not have any problem. The chart is enclosed with the trades shown. Edit: I have taken The SL out to 100 to separate the trades and run the back test using the every tick model so you can see exactly where the trades opened. I am not comfortable with your placing my code into your indicators code. If you need additional help, you will have to help me by...
Hi Dave,

Apologies for the trouble I've caused you. It turns out I had inadvertently saved trades from another indicator to my template. Then when I ran the EA, the old trades appeared on the chart along with the new, correct trades. Lesson learned - I'm relatively new to strategy tester and had never used custom templates before. So, again, sorry bout that.

Phew... I finished reading from post #1 until this point.
Well from what I can see is that you will want to post your code on GitHub instead Dave_C, since the code is updated regularly.
Other people could fork it and submit Pull Requests too and the most importantly, you can see the history of your code changes! (Very handy for any programmer)

EA is my primary way of making some pips on the FX world, and I've just stumbled upon this thread.
If you're interested to post your code on GitHub, I'll clone your repo right away

Today is exactly 1 month from thread opening and a lot of ground has been covered and my next gift is an actual trading strategy.

At times I have been exasperated by the lack of meaningful input and the excessive demands. There are a few loyal followers and I am very grateful to them for helping me in this thread. Unfortunately it's a fact of life that some post demandingly or haven't done any homework before they post. Others simply grab the EA and/or the data and don't provide input or feedback.

Some absolute gems have arisen from nowhere. I had a request to increase the wager on losing trades. I was reluctant because we all know that the Martingdale strategy simply does not work in the long term. Even the concept of increasing the wager concerned me. In conjunction with being able to set the risk reward ratio and a break even setting, a stop loss multiple of 1.2 produces some amazing results with very low drawdown. The sequence is 2%, 2.4%, 2.9%, 3.5%, 4.1%, 5.0%, 6.0%, 7.2%, 8.6%, 10.3%, 12.4%, 14.9%, 17.8% of equity from the first wager of 2% of equity. I have capped the progression at 20%. At that point the next wager reverts back to the base level (2% in the scenario above). TakeProfitMultiplier is also configurable. A setting of 2 produces a risk:reward ratio of 1:2

I also had a query about closing all trades which as it turns out, helps complete the strategy I am presenting.

The strategy is based on trading the 7 major currency pairs with 3 different strategies optimized over the last 3 months results.

Continuous Straddle on 1min charts with break even setting, Stop Loss multiple and Take Profit multiple
RSI on 15min charts with with break even setting, Stop Loss multiple and Take Profit multiple
MACD on 15min charts with ADX filter, Stop Loss multiple and Take Profit multiple

21 EA's in total plus an EA monitoring the equity and to close all trades when a nominated profit or loss is achieved on a daily basis.
Also included is an indicator to plot the progress of the equity. To save you work loading all the charts and indicators, I have included a profile with all the charts and indicators loaded. I have included all the templates so all the inputs have been set. The first chart is an AUD 1min. chart and is there solely to plot the equity curve. Actually there are 2 plots, 1 for closed trades and 1 including the equity in open trades as well. The indicator is included in the zip file.

The only inputs required are the starting equity level and the take profit and stop loss $ values on the CloseTrades EA. I'd suggest about 1% to 2% on a daily basis.
When either level is reached, all trades are automatically closed and a dummy buy limit trade is placed to prevent TradersGift from initiating any further trades (I have programmed TradersGift to check for the BuyStop and the changed EA is included).

So on a daily basis, you need to set the close trades levels on the CloseTrades EA and manually delete the buy limit order.

Edit: The zip file has been updated
