Ok, found and corrected a little bug in the logic and...

Here is a first version for you to test, of course, on demo account first...

Bingo!! Worked like a charm... Picked up 1 Limit Order - then one Stop order - then 1 more limit Order - then the remaining stop orders... PERFECT! I added a stop on all when the lowest trade was 5 pips profitable... and they all stopped out within seconds thereafter.

Great ! Thank you.

It would be good to test all the scenarios so we can close this first 1.XX release:

1 Sell Scenario.

1.1 Limit Orders only. => Verified, OK

1.2 Stop Orders only. => Verified, OK

1.3 Limit & Stop orders. => Verified, OK

2 Buy Scenario.

2.1 Limit Orders only.

2.2 Stop Orders only.

2.3 Limit & Stop orders. => Verified, OK


So according to your previous post, we can say that the 1.3 is verified and OK.

Sell Scenario - Stop Orders Only - works (picked 'em all up - then went higher than all and DID NOT add more - which is correct!!

Sell Scenario - Limit Orders Only - WORKS - placed 5 at target, as 1st got picked up , added one to the top of the stack - which is correct!

I've been up all night trying to find some buy situations to test. All 3 scenarios of buys have entered their orders.

The buy scenario, both limit and Stop orders, opened it's limit orders and so far hasn't been low enough to initiate the first Limit order so has not yet added the stop orders.

The buy scenario, Stop orders only, placed the 5 Stop orders and has initiated 3 of them as trades - but did not move far enough to move any of the orders so I don't know if that works.

The buy scenario, Limit orders only, placed 5 orders but then moved and did not as yet initiate any of them into open positions.

So, what I do not know yet for the Buy scenarios is whether or not the orders will move correctly or if it will add additional Limit orders.

But so far this is VERY very good, and I have had even more confirmation that the sell scenarios are working beautifully.

I still don't have a final answer as to the Buy scenario situations as the market prices on the pairs I have tested has not cooperated. But one thing I have noticed is that once you add the EA to a chart - DO OT CHANGE THE TIME FRAME OF THE CHART because for some reason it changes the target numbers. Don't know why - and as long as we know this it won't be an issue - but I wanted to let everyone know about it.

As an update - on the pairs that I did trade last night, I had 4 or 5 series of trades open - and I was adding stops on them as soon as the least profitable trade in the series was profitable - then trying to move the stops to enhance profit as was possible - but I closed so far 549 pips so far. Not a bad night in my opinion!! So, my conclusion is that BrokeTrader is a genius!

Well, I didn't think of the time frame change feature, so I have done some changes on a new version you will find below.

 

  1. Now you can freely change the time frame on your chart, this will NOT alter the EA parameters.
  2. You can also, and without unloading/reloading the EA, modify its parameters on the fly by pressing F7 or by right clicking on the chart and selecting Expert Advisors > Properties.
  3. The working parameters were displayed in white (because I use a black chart background), but now you have the ability to chose any other font color via the parameter "Text Color"

Oh, thank you for the compliment but If I were really a genius, I would have taken with me out of the lamp the formula to earn all those pips you talk about The idea was yours, I just translated it into code.

Here is the new version, let's hope that you will be able to test the buy scenario soon.

BT - I have a few things working in the EA as it was prior to the change. I think I will leave it be until those items close out. Then I will switch to the new version. The changes you mention sound WONDERFUL and I can't wait to try them. Is there a way that we (you and I) could have a private conversation? I don't know much about how these message boards work - but I would be happy to give you my email or phone number. Let me know... Mindy

I could send you a private message but actually I cannot. You have to modify your profile settings to allow receiving messages.

Yes, message sent.

And for the test, you are right. Keep your current tests going and take the new EA only after those tests are terminated. I haven't changed anything in the logic, only made those cosmetic changes I talked before.

OK - The Buy scenario with "Use both Limit and Stop Orders" is WORKING fine - moved the Stop orders, added more limit orders and did not create additional stop orders - so check this one off the list.
