{quote} Hello Richard, This will be my negative review of the 2 VPS services've I tried: BEEKS VPS - one provided by the broker, which has a fast ping rate to most brokers located on European servers. But, its memory and processor power are barely enough for a single Casino installation. Also, the free space is miserable - they cheat you by saying they give you 2 GB of free space and 1 GB of RAM when in reality you get no more than 300MB of free space (everything else is taken up by their pre-installed crap which you don't really know is safe to...

I am trialing NEUPRIME.com based in Germany - It did not accept me for 10day trial due to some sort of issue with my location - so I have paid for 1month subscription - it was €17 for a 2GB - 4Core system for 1month - I thought was very reasonable and if I pay 12months advance there is some discount rate. I also liked that you could scale the system to your requirements - no fixed packages

Trying this EA out now - very excited to be getting this up and running with 8ball overnight - after watching the video's - I will probably move onto to the cycle / cci model shortly once I get my head around some more of the features and smooth running.

Seller9 - have you ever thought about applying this to some Indices - GER30, DOW30, JAP225, etc - could bring some interesting results

{quote} Just because it shows your entry level doesn't mean it will open a trade, the HM must be getting stronger in the proper direction. You could have an entry value of 8 and currently you could be at 20 and no trade will be entered because the HM is getting weaker.
Hi Seller9 and thanks for your reply,

Yes, I understand what you explain me, but in the image I posted you can see that with settings gap min= 2 and gap max = 3 why there was a sell signal in the -7 value?

Thank you very much as always for your kind contribution.

When the price moves quickly those values can change quickly and by the time the trade gets placed with the Broker they are always different than when the order was placed by Casino based on what it saw at the time the order was placed.

The same thing can be said of any of the other values shown also, they can change in an instance.

Hi seller

With all due respect, because we cant say that enough ofcourse, I think he means the same thing that I have been experiancing with the newest version:

When the hm borders set in casino at for instance min 8 and max 10, the Hm will also signal when it is lets say -14 (alwasy seems to be in the negative numbers when this happens, but not sure) This renders the MAX settings useluss. (It does not go below the minimal set Hm level for so far I have seen)

Maybe this does explain a little bit more

{quote} If all the Casinos are not looking at the exact same price data bank you can get different results, it happens to me all the time. Even after I have tested an idea for a while on a demo account and then move it to a real account the results can be different, even when running a Demo and Live account side by side from the same Broker I can get different results.
Thanks a lot for your enlighting. More grease to your elbow.

Hello everyone, ESPECIALLY Seller9.

I've been trading manually for sometime with Moving Averages of a particular setting I just discovered that makes good trades. Sometimes I use Clive's histogram CCI for perfect entry points and have been really doing well. I've also been thinking of a way to automate this powerful system then I remembered there was a plugin we used sometime back during the days of SLOTS.

I want to call the attention of Seller9 to this :-

I picked up the plugins (MA and MA 2) and set them up on Casino with my settings sometime last week. I can't remember the actual day but I was really amazed in the beginning when 2hours after LO I was up to +700pips.
I left it to keep running on my VPS and went out. When I came back in the evening I was surprised to see that all the 700pips and the starting balance of $1,000 were drained away. I didn't bother to check WHY and WHAT HAPPENED then.

I just thought about it last night and decided to find out what really made that happen. So I set it up today at 2hours before LO and checked back an hour after LO. I found profits of over 200pips on each of the 3 Casinos I setup for the strategy with different settings. I left it again and checked back this evening. I saw the same thing that happened last week (account almost drained). Then I decided to investigate the issue.

This is my discovery;-

The trades initially go into massive profits and eventually come back to close in loss. This was happening because Casino does not close the trades when there is an opposite cross of the MA so all the profits made will keep depreciating until it reaches my ATR SL.

I used one Casino to close trades by PIN 1 (MA2) and another Casino to close by PIN 2 (MA) but are same. On the third Casino I used the CASINO_TSL_ATR plugin but wasn't working too as a trade reverses and pass through it without it closing the trade. It seems Casino does not recognise them as means of exit while I've had everything set as they should be.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLES FROM THE TSL CLOSURE FAILURES : -

I believe if these errors can be corrected, with the perfect MA setting i've discovered, this will almost be a HOLY GRAIL in our Casino.

Thanks once again for all your efforts.

Maybe your not seeing how the HM numbers work.

When you set it from 8 to 10 that means the following:

Goes Long when HM is 8 or greater and equal to or less than 10 and must be going more positive..

Goes Short when HM is -8 or less and greater than or equal to -10 and must be going more negative.

To think of it another way, anything above zero is a Long and anything below zero is a short, just depends on your HM window.

You never enter in any negative numbers for these settings, Casino will determine if it is a long or short and use the correct numbers, either positive or negative.

Also remember these numbers change quickly so can be quite different when the trade is accepted by the Broker and can even be showing the opposite trade by then.

I use these HM settings all the time for entries and exits and have no problems and as far as anything being different in later versions the HM logic has never changed since it was added to Casino.

If you can explain your system and the ma settings you use maybe I could write a PIN that does everything you want all in one PIN.

If you change any settings in the Casino Properties Casino resets and starts over again from these new settings.

Casino will see any trade that has the same Magic Number that it uses if it is open when Casino restarts.

If TSL is set to true JSL will work if the plugin settings have it enabled and have not changed.

It is never a good idea to stop and restart Casino or MT4 when you have open trades, there are just too many things going on and Casino is not designed to remember all the strange settings someone may have set up, so leave it alone unless you want to exit all trades first and then start over from scratch with new settings.

A negative HM umber is a sell signal if within your HM window, from the time Casino saw the HM value it was within your window of 2 to 3 or in your case -2 to -3, things can change quickly in a fast moving market, just because it reads -7 now does not mean it was -7 when the short trade was triggered, it was probably between -2 and -3 and accelerating more negative, that's why Casino sent a short trade and by the time the trade was confirmed or you noticed it the HM could have already gone more negative to -7.

Also, I never use a HM setting of less than 8, as tests have shown that if you are using the M5 HM anything less than this will trigger false trades.

A window of 8 to 8, 8 to 9 or 8 to 10 work the best for an M5 HM.

M1 HM is way to unstable, M5 seems to be the best, and M15 is also fairly good and stable, anything higher is just too slow to be of any good for PA trading.

sweet work M. Goodluck to seller to making that Pin.

And I just once more want to stress the fact that I know and understand how the HM system works, but in post 13606 you can clearly see what I was trying to illustrate

There is a signal above the maxed set hm border. (the hm settings of that pair turn red, and there is a 1/1 marker on the casiono, telling us there is a signal.

Yes. This is MA2, one of the 2 plugins I used but the setting is very important as you cannot achieve the intended result without the right setting. I used the other plugin MA as PIN2 and for trend direction. MM.

I think there is no point trying the old MA plugins for now as casino does not recognise them for exit. Let wait and hope that Seller9 comes up with the new plugin and I believe we shall all smile at the end of it.
