My EA Gift to Traders

Hi Dave,below are the results of 14 currency pairs for the months of April to end of June using very simple INPUTs as recorded below. I do have a problem I cannot for the life of me make the EA trade . Can you have a look and see what the issue is I would be most grateful.

You have trading mode set to 0. It should be set to 1.

Hi Dave, Thank you for your reply. Another question when I changed the input to 1 on the trading window it reads

Spread 0.00024
Trading Mode -Advisory
Money Management Mode - On Equity 1%
etc

Is that correct or should it be reading
Trading Mode -Automatic

Regards
rammer13

I see your point. When you sent your settings, you transposed the values. Your example read
TradingMode: Autotrading=1, Advisory Only=0, Discretionary Trading=2"; extern int TradingMode = 0

It actually does read -
TradingMode: Autotrading=0, Advisory Only=1, Discretionary Trading=2";

The setting should be 0, the default. Assuming that it is correctly set to zero, I would look at the log. It is possible that with the risk percentage set at 1%, any starting balance less than $1000 (or E1000) would prevent trades from being executed because the lot size would be lower than .01 (minimum lot size)

Hello Dave,

Thanks for this wonderful EA. I am a new member in FF and i think i got here a little late. But it is better late than never. I've read about 50% of this thread and in my view, this is an ideal EA that can promise success in trading.

I want to make 2 suggestions but don't know how they might sound to you. But there's nothing bad in trying.

1. Is it possible to have an option that when a trade is taken through a particular strategy, with the right money management settings in place except for the TP, the trade should be left to run until an opposite signal is identified by the strategy indicator or another chosen indicator (from the input) to close the trade with when a signal is given? Then the EA should reset and pick a trade in the direction of the new signal given by the strategy indicator.

2. The Heinken Ashi in MT4 does not have the option of changing the parameters. Is it possible to make the EA work with customized indicators like HAS (Heinken Ashi Smoothed) and a Two-Line MACD like the ones Attached below in their default settings or with an option to edit them. The Two-Line MACD has the same default setting as the standard MT4 one but it has a different feature which is very good.

It is just a suggestion and i hope it can be taken into consideration.

Thanks once again.
MM

Thank you for your input.

There is already an option for Trade Reversal.

At this stage there are more than enough options to work with. Currently I am getting about 10 requests per week for personal preferences and I cannot continue to change the program to accommodate all requests. Regards Dave

I can understand. You've done a great job already.

Thanks for replying.

Thank you very much Dave for your generosity . You have given away a great tool for traders. Further, you have provided all information about how to optimizing strategies.

Hi Dave!

After doing the auto optimization we have several Results displayed, why do we sometimes have 10-15 and others only a few?

I was thinking that one good idea for conservative approach would be to choose the strategy that has a the biggest mean on those results and not only choose the one with the most equity. The opposite goes to Drawdown results.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Dave, My EA has started trading the only problem it is scalping I think this is because I have activated part of the money management re:Can you have a look and please advise thank you.

Instead of the massive post, why don't you save your settings as a set file and just include it in your post. (you just need to rename it to .txt in order to upload)

The reason for the high number of trades is that you have set a TakeProfit of 10 pips. If you require a trade reversal logic, set the TakeProfit to zero.

Hi Dave, Thank you for your assistance I have another request . When I use the strategizer to analyse the results these money management details come up so I will assume they are default settings and they help with the results of my EA. Now when I change the inputs to reflect what is on the strategizer I do not get the same details.Can you check these details for me would appreciate your input and please if my requests impose too much on your time I am more than happy to pay a fee for your assistance .

As I mention in my previous post, you will need to include your set file in the post. (upload as .txt)

I do not understand your request this time. You are enclosing program code which is not where you make changes to your inputs. Your set file includes all the details of your inputs and is what Strategy Optimizer will read from and write to when exchanging inputs. A set file is a record of either your Strategy Optimizer inputs or a record of your EA inputs. That is the file I need to examine.

You have quoted different inputs for both platforms but I need to see the set file that is common.

Hi Dave ,Thank you will do some due diligence and get back to you.

Does some one know of indi that shows the "profit factor and expected payoff", running figures of only active trades on the screen. Thanks and
Regards

Your request does not give enough information. I don't think you have chosen your terms correctly. The only expected payoff is the current Stop Loss and Take Profit in place and Profit Factor has nothing to do with existing trades.

If the trades are under the control of an EA, your "expected payoff" will be based on the EA variables.

The profit factor is a historical value derived from previous trades which is in your trade log anyway and has nothing to do with existing trades. Divide your Total Win value by your Total Loss Value and that will give you your profit factor for a nominated criteria.

Hi Dave,
With some strategies you have the lot size multiplied when the trade dies not reach the minimum pips to reset, the question is, if I do restart mt4, in any case the next trade will be the initial one, is there a way to store the last lot size and start from there? Thank you for your support.

By reviewing the Trade History, the size of the last trade could be determined however it is easier to review this manually and amend the lot size.

By design, EA's require a continual connection to maintain the value of all the variables.

Hi Dave,
I am not sure, whether the trailing stop of the below charts are behaving in accordance with the settings. Appreciate, if you could explain.

Thank you

Dave, thank u so much for ur good job.

Amazon that provides free vps demands for the details of our credit card. I wonder if it is safe to provide such details.
