{quote} Hey! Can you please explain the extern parameters... As they are confusing... Thanks!
Forget all properties containing OrderId, numbers are for internal use only. I used the last numbers e.g. SellLots25 when creating a function.

TradingYes : EA executes if true
HoursFrom HoursTo : Executes only if time is between defined hours (uses 24 clock). Clock is based on local time.
SellLots25 : Lots for sell orders
BuyLots17 : Lots for buy orders
---------------
BreakEvenPoint38 : Break Even for buy order. Break Even Point can be reached only once. When point is reached then Break Even leaves number of lots set in LeaveLots parameter and closes the rest.
BreakEvenPoint38 : Break Even for sell order. See above
---------------
LeaveLot38 : LeaveLots for buy order. If you opened original order with 0.2 lots and set Break Even parameter Leave Lots to 0.1 then at Break Even Point EA will close 0.1 lots and leave 0.1 lots still open.
LeaveLot37 : LeaveLots for sell order. See above
---------------

I'll make it readable in the next version.

Hi,

Thanks for this system and the EAs
I've downloaded the latest mathtrader's and enko_hunter EAs but none of them is executing trades even though they appear to be installed correctly on the graph and there is nothing in the logs to show for an error.
I'm attaching a missed trade (mathtrader's EA but the hunter didn't pick it up either).


Thanks.

{quote} Part of your issue is the amount of history that you have...the more historical data saved, the more bars can be printed. After that, you have HLC bars selected, to mimic others, use the Candle selection. {image}
1. Does Less historical data makes the signals of the EA very different from what they should be?

2. How to add sufficient historical data?

{quote} 1. Does Less historical data makes the signals of the EA very different from what they should be? 2. How to add sufficient historical data?
1. Yes, less historical data can make a difference, but for the most part, marginally. The moving averages are periods 21 and 50, and are calculated by historical data. If there isn't enough data in frame, these values can be off or non-existent. From the looks of your chart, you should be okay.

2. Tickstory Lite, can help you load more historical data, but will only be read by the parameters set in your Tools>Options>Charts. (Max Bars in History/Max Bars in Chart).

New in this thread, so first of all thanks to all of you for your the work and the help. I´ve tried some similar sytems manually, because I´m very confortable with the renko charts, and I think this system can works. So I will try with the ea´s and follow this thread.
Thanks and sorry for my english.

Yes, but it changed the graph to a "regular" graph with no renko bars.
If I close and open MT4 the graph changes to a regular one, as well.
Oh, and I'm getting all those message from the history center, as well.
See attached.

Screen shot of the experts tab too, please.

Try running the EA in the strategy tester, any timeframe...see if this generates any errors or if it takes trades.

ok. I am now trading 3 days with Mathtraders EA on live account 3000$. I am trading 0.2 lot size. Leverage of 100 Pairs: EURUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD,GBPJPY. Brick Size is 5 Monday i made 30$, Yesterday i made 100$ Profit, today till mid London Seassion 100$. It works fine. First EA I ever used but i feel comfortable with it because i dont have to fear a total loss because of tight stops and perfect working trailing stops and close on candleswitch. Thank you really for that nice EA. It rounds up my portfolio really much.
did you set the timer ?

to trade london open to like middle ny session i assume. then close out manually.

Count minutes between the last two closed bars. ... ie If 2x last bars are same color and formed in less then 2 minutes place trade.)

int bar1 = (ulong)datetime(Time[1]);
int bar2 = (ulong)datetime(Time[2]);
int Mins = MathAbs((bar1-bar2)/60);
I firmly believe we need this feature.

{quote} Not actually with this strategy, it doesn't. Reason being, is that it still must wait for a Close above/below the Moving averages. IF you wanted to go this route, it'd be worth your time to make some modifications to the open source version HERE. Again, as this this is a "Simple as Pie" application, modifications can be made to this version with very little ease, for even the technically challenged. Remove the Moving Average Criteria. Remove the Close[3]>Open[3]...
Hello again,

Are you sure the EA you linked to is the one referred to in the post? It looks like a Renko Chart builder to me...

Thank you,

Thank you!

R.

P.S. Has anyone had any issues with the latest MathTrader Renko EA not opening trades? I left it for a whole night (GMT+1) running on OIL/USD with the default settings, except for the MAs, which I changed to 5/13 LWMA. No trades were triggered, but when I looked on the charts with the same MAs applied, there were valid setups. Could it be because of the numbers after the decimal point for the price (e.g. on FXDD's platform price shows as xx.xx for OIL compared to xx.xxxxx for major pairs like EUR/USD and the rest)?

Run it in the strategy tester, see if it takes trades on any time frame.

If it doesn't, might just be a decimal thang.

Seems like everything's fine (i.e. trades are opened) according to the strategy tester. I forgot to mention that there were no errors in the journal tab last night, so it's harder for me to explain the strange behaviour. Will try it on other pairs.

This thread, like a lot of it's predecessors, shows a little promise and has one coder working feverishly on requests and debugging of a FREE EA. Of all of the versions posted, the highest downloads have hit 227. Meaning, there's a good likelihood that 227 people downloaded it. This has all been in less than 2 full market days of trading. OF those 227 people, apparently working on the same ideas, there has been less than a fist...
