{quote} Hi Shaolin. I second Sillicus. All he said, I apply it too- I use 14 pips (140) between trades as a personal rule. A quick question: To trade M1,M5 etc, should I just attach the EA to the TF I want to trade?
Ok great, I see it does have some benefit when testing the 2 year period, 2014 had more difficult periods for this method. As for timeframe, yes, my version will use the timeframe of the attached chart for the Quantum indicator.

For sure it is good to test longer periods, but after all of my experience I have found these tests aren't as relevant. The reason is because any method requires maintenance. If you are planning to turn on the EA and leave it for 3 years, this is a stupid approach. More likely, we should make sure the method executes trades exactly as we like (no bugs) and watch it every time it runs. We should be able to clearly identify the periods it fails and avoid them. This can be done with some clever features, but will ultimately involve some user intervention; deciding when to change the settings and when to turn it off. Unfortunately we are limited with MT platform, with data inaccuracy, broker variations etc. So I have been relying on 2 year tests as my benchmark. This 2 year period is also a standard amongst traders in the industry, something I picked up from many quant discussions and seminars online.

Hi.

I found it is due to lot size.

I changed the lot size from 0.0? to 0.?

and it started to work.

Thanks for your work here.

Cheers.

Ok gotcha, it seems with micro account 0.10 = 0.01 with standard account

Shaolin, I think I've found a potential bug in the EA with the xdist function.

I've set it to 14 pips (140 points as per the setting) but I've been getting entries within less than 2 pips each....
However, this is happening ONLY in GBPJPY so far...

I'm attaching two screenshots (both of them the exact same setting). GBPJPY, entries within 2 pips (not respecting minimum distance)... and NZDJPY, new entries after 14 pips (as per intended!!)

Maybe this has something to do with the GBP point # conversion for 5/4 digits???

Hopefully you can sort it out!!

Actually I see it working fine. I have a debug log in the journal "Minimum Price Diff Not Met" you will see when using this feature.

Hi ShaolinQuant,

Would you consider adding a few options we have in Vlad's version 1.6.1 like:
- trade only monday
...
- trade only friday
This way we can chose to trade one or two or three days. I found out that trading only monday is more profitable than friday for example. Actually friday is worst day to trade among other days.

Thank you

Why not just turn the EA off after you cycle on Thrusday ?

Ok I'll be checking this---

one more thing I've just noticed...

It seems the TP and SL in $ are working as a global parameter?

What I've seen so far, is my whole pool of trades closing out once the "global" TP/SL is hit...

The way 1.6.1 has been working is by closing out the individual pairs' set of trades when that particular pair reaches TP/SL-

Could you please confirm this and if so, modify the EA so it works that way?

Let me add that everything else seems to be working OK. I've never seen a tool like this.

@ Vlad!

Bug in EA when internet connection disrupted.

Live trading

If a cycle of trades have been opened by the EA say short entries and the internet connection is disrupted momentarily the EA does the following:

EA will open 1 long trade @ current lot size in the opposite direction to the currently running cycle of short trades.

ps. I have noticed this occur twice today and perhaps the EA is attempting to hedge some of my many positions!

Perhaps when you get some free time you might like to have a quick look...... many thanks.

You are well aware of all versions of this EA so that's why I am asking question. Hopefully you wont mind. Is this option is included in any version that when Buy/Sell signal appear, EA place pending order XDistance away from current price.

For example Buy signal appears so instead of opening Long position, EA place Buy Stop order XDistance away from current price?

Hey guys,

Is there any possibility to set different take profits (in pips) for every new box? For example, tp for the first box 10 pips, second box 12 pips, third box 15 pips...

Thanks in advance,
