{quote} Tareq, use the default values but change MaxSpread to 0 (the default is 60) which is quite low and might kill your trades just before the news. I plan on releasing a 'Lite' version which only has the most basic settings but I haven't started on it yet. Alan
the only update this EA need is the input to cancel every order when there is slippage. if this is not possible an input to close the order immediately the price triggers at a particular predifined slippage point. for instance if i set max slippage at 200 points and the my order spills to 200 points, the ope order will be closed immediately so that i loose only the spread. i think this input will help us be in control of slippage a bit.

Dude, that's not possible. I have tried many methods to get round the slippage issue.

1) Using Virtual Orders, so when you trade you can specify max slippage. Either too slow or slippage was too high and it didn't trade ! I compared it to the current EA and sometimes it didn't trade but the original did but had less slippage. Weird!

2) Some brokers like Exness promise that on certain account types if the Slippage is less than 10 pips they would not Slip you at all. But over 10 pips and they can, so there is still a risk.

3) What you asked for above is already handled by the MaxSlippage code which effectively closes your order. You lose the spread plus the slippage. But in practise, slippage is most often against markets which are going in the right direction and I personally never use it as if I wait patiently, my order will come into profit. Only a few times has this not worked.

Lastly, if you risk too much and set your SL too low then Slippage becomes a big issue. I trade now with minimum 30 pips SL so 10 pips Slippage doesn't affect me as badly.

Hi all, I've just uploaded V5.30. I saw some errors in some Logs when using the Stop Loss Reset feature and fixed these. I also updated the Text files with the latest FAQ etc.

Nice trade on AUD Interest Rate today.

I decided to take profits a bit early on this one. The reason was that the trades pulled back 61.8% which normally means they will only extend between 123% and 138%

The EURAUD would have hit the magic 100pips and the obvious TP for AUDUSD was 0.77 cents and both coincided with the 200% Fibonacci extension.

If anybody wants to follow commentary for these trades, let me know and I'll start posting them up on Twitter.

Incredible, because you do not have slippage on your broker, can you tell me what is your broker? Thanks.

Thanks for the wonderful EA, I've made some good pips on AUDJPY today's AUD cash rate. Can I know how did you manage to pick the winner EURAUD?

Some general questions:

When SlipCheck is true, for a buy trade, when you say the SlipCheck codes will reset SL/TP, does it mean that the will adjust upwards accordingly? Say if the slippage is 10 pips, the SL/TP will move up 10 pips as well?

For MaxSlippage, if it's set to 0 does it mean to disable this feature?

I'm using Version 4.3.0, once in a while the EA the at the news time will shut down without reasons. E.g. I had 2 accounts on the same broker running the same set, one of the account in the log file at the news time, it says "EA Shut Down", do you know what's the reason?

If I use MaxSpread =0, Which should I use add spread to sl true or false?
You trade now with minimum 30 pips SL , Do you also use BE and trail points or just use TP?

Glad you are making some good pips ! I actually picked EURAUD just in case the RBA surprised with a cut. If they had EURAUD would have shot up. Technically, EUR is bullish this week (2% rise yesterday) and if AUD had been weak, I was looking for a move to 1.46-1.48. One of the reasons for exiting early was I could tell that EURAUD was going to reverse. I was quite surprised it got down to 1.42. On my chart you can see I have a long term Buy Trade open, targeting 1.46.

Slipcheck: Correct
MaxSlippage: 0 disables
EA Shut Down: The reasons this could happen are as follows from the MT4 manual
The client terminal calls deinit() at the terminal shutdown, when a security window is closed, right before changing a security and/or changing a chart period, at a successful program recompilation in MetaEditor, when changing input parameters, and when an account is changed.
There is no other reason this would happen. There is also an option in MT4 where EAs are disabled when changing accounts. Not sure if that's affecting it.
The idea of deleting the orders on shutdown was meant to remove pending orders if you removed the EA from the chart
On V5.2 and now 5.3 I added DeleteOnShutdown=False to override it if you don't want that to happen but then you have to remove trades manually.

Yesterday, AUD - Cash Rate @ GBPAUD

And today, AUD - GDP q/q @ GBPAUD, it's about 774 points.

I'm still rather confuse how to find the best settings, Alan. My problem always in STWAN parameter. With different broker, I got different results, altough with the same STWAN. I had no results at all with my HF. Good results with Exness.

I usually do not announce my broker, even though I also get to suffer slippage & spread issues once in a while. As for how I manage slippage with my broker, I really don't get your question... Since there's nothing I can do about broker slippage. If it's with regards managing my trades with Amazing, then I set MaxSlippage to half of the TP I use for each news (Each news has my researched TP value), & I don't go below 20

- I have a complicated way of choosing the for/against directions on the pairs I trade (I say complicated since it'll be really hard for me to break 'em into pieces here).
- I only trade on 2 pairs; news currency with USD and JPY. If the news is USD, then EUR and JPY

It involves:
- Currency Strength Meter (CSM): which pair has for/against direction (basically)
- Taking note of the pair with the higher High-to-Low range for the day (If they both equal, I use the previous day), as well as it's direction (for/against) based on CSM. I call this 'HL Direction'.
- Economists' Votes: there's a way I look at the highest voted values above and below the median value (forecast), and also a way of weighing 'em against each other. I call this 'Sentiment Direction'. Could be for/against
(I get this info from FastEconomicNews.com)
- I also take note of any of the currencies hitting the RED colour on CSM and I tag the news 'Overbought or Oversold'

These are all I take into consideration before deciding on which pair I trade which direction. So sometimes I'm on a single pair (buy & sell) & sometimes on 2 pairs (one direction per pair)

So I end up being on the pair that moves more, has more market participants & therefore exposed to a lesser slippage of the 2 pairs (excluding Broker Factor)

MaxSpread and AddSpreadToSL are independent of each other.

AddSpreadToSL: It's use is for people who use really tight SL and is mainly useful exactly at News Time. If the broker keeps low spread until just after the News and then makes it 20 pips then it probably won't help. But if it's 15 pips before the News and 25 during/After then it comes down quite quickly, then it's more useful. I suggest you study the Ticks file for your Broker and see when the spread blows out.

If you use AddSpreadToSL, the SL reset code actually tightens the stop gradually as the spread reduces after the News.

I personally don't use BE/Trail as I like to use a 'soft' SL based on the Price Action. Sometime I set my trades to BE manually. However, I am doing more long term trades and not just trading the Spike, which is where BE and Trail works best.

hi Alan what does error off quote mean?
It means they are a Market Maker broker / bucketshop and don't want to let you make changes to your orders around News Time.
At 13 seconds past, the EA still thought you had 2 Pending Orders and managed to delete the Buy Stop. From then until 34 seconds past, the EA thought you still had a Sell Stop but really your trade was in a 'hold' state until the Broker can decide how much Slippage to give you. Then it 'appears' at 34 seconds past.

Really I would immediately find another broker or change the account type. Was it a fixed spread account - that's probably why then. You can't expect the broker to take the hit on fixing the spread and let you trade when their spread is larger than normal?
