Hi, I am very interested in this system because of its simplicity. I like to test this EA on a demo account. One quick question about the closing option, if i put a fixed equity amount say $5000, is that increased equity based on your initial equity when you start to run the EA or based on the current equity? If this amount is based on your initial equity, then the EA must cover your previous losses first and then calculate the net increase , am I right? Another question is that if the EA has reached the $5000 target, then will the EA automatically restart again or you have to manually restart it? Thanks for your reply.

I am very sorry to know that the thread is moved to Commercial Content ! Maybe I shouldn't post the MQ4 source files This will be my last post here until the thread is moved back to Trading Systems. Bye,
Rooi, I wonder if we should take the trade explorers off the top of the thread, perhaps that doesn't help either?

As I mentioned yesterday, I have modified the EA to keep track of the average spread for each pair and to restrict opening trades to only when the spread is within a multiple (user defined) of the average spread. This way you are not buying or selling at some of the unreasonable prices that can occur just as the new day begins. It worked perfectly for me today as all of my new trades were a very reasonable prices. I extended the time that the order could be filled to one hour after the opening, but the maximum that it took today for the spreads...
Thanks SmoothTrader ... I'd done a quick and dirty wait until 5 mins after the hour code to try and get around it as it is definitely an issue ...

Hi antantnz

Hope you are well

I have written to the admin to enquire why it has been moved.It does sometimes take a while to get a response from the admins.In the past I have waited more than 5 days for them to get back to me but they always do.

For now its best to sit tight and be patient and see what they say.

Hope your testing is doing well

Hello Rooi,

Hope your trading is going fine?

So far this is where am at in regards this whole Commercial Content/Member business. I am yet to receive a response to my last email but once I do I will sure post it here so that everyone can know what's up and stop the speculating.

Regards,

Ty

NB:
Please note that de-listing the Ghost_Rider demo from this thread is fine with me IF...if it will help restore your thread back to the Trading Discussion Section where I believe it belongs.

Hello Twee,

I haven't had the pleasure, until now, to contact you for any reason.

I was posting over at the HA_Rider (A Robots Lab EA) Thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=525449 when I suddenly encountered an error message (at least I believe it is).

I am of the opinion that a mistake has been made. I wonder why I am suddenly tagged a "commercial" member?

Please I request explanations and clarifications re: the above.

Thank you in advance of a speedy response.

Regards,

Ty

Hello Again Twee,

Thank you for your response.

Fair enough then that my Membership status has changed to "Commercial". But I still have TWO issues I would like addressed in line with this:

#1. I see NO REASON why the HA_Rider (A Robots Lab EA) Thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=525449 should be Moved to the Commercial Section of FF. My reasons are as follows:

=> I did NOT create the thread and neither was it created by a Commercial Member. At the time this thread was created (using an Idea I had and which a Member of FF kindly Coded for free) I was a NON-Commercial Member.

=> Nothing is for Sale on the thread as is NOTED on the 1st Post

=> All EA's Posted on the thread are Open Source and FREELY available to the Public

Please (re)consider moving it BACK to the Trading Discussion Section of FF. Also bear in mind that if returned to that Section I will NOT be able to post under my "new" Membership status making the contents of said thread even more FREE.

#2. The Beta testing Thread I Opened under the Commercial Section Here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=500610 was discontinued AGES ago. Now...IF my Membership status had been changed while I managed that thread I would have understood better - but I managed that thread from START to FINISH as a NON-Commercial Member.

Please I would like an explanation from you regarding that.

Alright then - thank you in anticipation of a Speedy response.

Regards,

Ty Lamai

Guys ,

Is there anyone who can help me on this . I would like this EA to set SL and TP according to a percentage of the equity as we define because we will avoid this way looking for VPS services and also will avoid our account to be blown in case for any reason EA goes down ot internet is down or in case something goes wrong. As soon as we trade daily charts there is no reason to leave EA running all the time. In my opinion it is fine turning one hour before day candle should close and in case new orders have been opened to recalculate SL and TP and stay in safe.

I hope you find this useful.

Smoking hot at the moment...... {image}
Hey Gvc,

I wonder if you read my original description...

Anyways, HA_Rider was supposed to be traded from ONE "Dashboard" chart (akin to your FXT) but AB did not have the coding skill then to make that happen.

Am wondering if you can help us out in that regard? I see you already have a multipair version going. See my initial "Extra" notes here:

Quote
- Additional "cosmetics" can be added such as:
=> User defined trade times (e.g. I personally do not like my EAs trading during the Asian session).
=> User defined Equity/Gain Targets (e.g. Close All open trades once 5%, 10%, etc of Equity is Reached)
=> User determined Pairs to trade *(this is if you decide to code the EA to run from just ONE chart).
=> User defined Suffixes as depicted by the broker.
=> A dashboard showing stats of all of the above? (not really necessary but cosmetic nonetheless.

Regards,

Ty

{quote} Hi, read about price action as seen in Heiken Ashi candles and observe it on the chart. You can find tons of material online. That should help. Doji/spinning tops are the Heiken Ashi candles having a long upper and lower shadow and a short body. They signify indecision and occur at tops and bottoms of the swing almost always. If the previous candle was a doji/spinning top, I will not take the trade. There has to be at least one normal HA candle after the doji, for me to take the trade. Also, if I trade into an existing trend. I will...
Can we incorporate some of kprsa suggestions into the EA? For example, not to take a trade if the previous bar was a doji/spinning top? We would have to give a mathematical explanation for a doji/spinning top. And use that as a filter.

Spining top:

This is just how my logic would work and not some kind of code. (Im not programmer)

If closed price < opened price = negative spinning top
If spinning top negative then: if (high - opened price) + (close price - low) >= (opened price - close price) then dont open

If closed price > opened price = positive spinning top
If spinning top negative then: if (high - closed price) + (opened price - low) >= (closed price - opened price) then dont open

In the end its just a comparison between the length of the shadow against the lenght of the candle body.

For some dojis its a little trickier because they look like the graphic below but still doable.
Edit: Actually, I think we would be able to avoid all of them other than the Four price doji with the same logic I applied above.

Maybe there is an even better way to define a doji/spinning top and implant this definition into the EA. What do you guys think?

Hey guys

Is there any particular reason why you're using the 15 pairs mentioned in the first post? Why not just use 28 pairs or even more (if the spread is reasonable of course)

Thankful for replies.
