Free EA - Piggy n The Middle

I was trying to give you a solution to this exact problem.... but only Yonnie was interested.

NOT AS EASY AS I THOUGHT! MY SOFTWARE IS NOT PICKING UP THE INDICATOR.

I programmed it right but the EA is not recognizing in backtest or forward test. I did program it to buy on white and sell on red and only on close of the candle but this seems a bit of a no go. It's a bit late here. I will revisit this tomorrow if anything, curiosity and a bit of fun

Hi Timmy,

I have not dismissed your comments, I have actually noted them carefully. I just didn't get around trying to implement what you have said.

I hope you are not offended. I have just been distracted from where I have been focusing at the moment.

I have actually tried the 2 buys on up and 2 sells on down. It just ends up producing a bit of extra DD. I know what you are talking about is sightly different. Where I am at the moment and proving to have difficulty is to have BUYS control SELLS and SELLS control BUYS. I am not a coder and the software I am using is not friendly to me when it comes to this kind of programming of TP.

Thanks for your interest in this thread. It is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Not sure You noticed, but in my 4a version after one day of testing in demo, EA starts opening positions as doubled. So two log positions with the same or sell.

see below.

Well guys, I put this EA in all JPY pairs, and EURUSD and GBPUSD, it is micro account $30usd credit balance, and here the results in live account. For me the V4 is the best for now, the DD in 6 years of BT in some pairs is not much. Almost 10% of this account in 3 days.

hello Invermac, can you please share your file set for live account?

thank you very much
regards
Luca

I suspect that you have your settings at TRUE, TRUE which in this mode it will not work as intended. TRUE, TRUE settings do not work and would not use it. This experimental version is to change BUY/SELL more to buy up only and sell down only when wanted. Either TRUE, FALSE or FALSE, TRUE are the only settings that should be used. If this was not the case, let me know.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Once I finish tick mode for EA i w restart computer and metatrader and then see once more if this issue occur.

HELLO CODERS!

Can someone tell me what kind of int (bool, double, etc...) is it when I need to make a constant value as a multiplier? Example: *1.01

It is not a double so I am a bit stumped. I think I am nearly there with the equity function problem.

Thanks,

Daniel

it is double.

int is 1
double is 1.0
bool is true/false
string is text

Hmmmm... that doesn't solve my problem as the constant I am needing to make available in the EA is one of a multiplier.

Example: If Profit (Equity-Balance) is > than Balance *1.01 then close all trades and terminate EA.

Thanks,

Daniel

Please copy and paste the snippet of code you need help with or ask whoever wrote it for you to modify it. You might need to use the Math Round function to round it up or down if it is spitting out funny values.

// Constants (Input Parameters)
input string StopEquityProfitFactor = "*1.01"; // *1.01 = 1% / *1.02 = 2% / etc.
input int MagicStart = 1543; // Magic Number, kind of...
class c
{
public:
static string StopEquityProfitFactor;
static int MagicStart;
};
string c::StopEquityProfitFactor;
int c::MagicStart;

class v
{

SORRY I AM NOT A CODER. I'M SURE THERE IS STUFF IN THE COPY AND PASTE THAT ARE NOT RELEVANT TO MY PROBLEM BUT IT IS ALL THAT I COULD DO.

The value that I am trying to incorporate is StopEquityProfitFactor and it is a multiplier value that checks balance and equity. If Equity is >= than Balance *1.01 then close ale trades and terminate the EA.

I TRIED ENTERING IT AS AN "INT STRING" AND IT DIDN'T WORK.

Thanks,

Daniel

@daniel as I send to you the last time I think this is what you want to achieve

double num = 1.01 // This is the value you want

then you have to to this

if ((AccountEquity()) > (AccountBalance() * num)) {
CloseAll(); \\function to close all trade
TerminateEA(); \\function to terminate EA
}

I already set the code I'm writing to start at a particular time and close all trade if equity balance is more than expected equity balance. I also added trade to close at a specific time and friday if you don't want the trade to go over the weekend. The current problem I have now is to make the EA start again without reloading the EA manually.

Attached is what i have so far.

Cheers

Sorry, I did see this. I was waiting to see if you could add the code to terminate the EA afterwards. I will try this code but I have not yet been able to copy and paste stuff in an EA and make it work yet. LOL

The value can be just a double e.g. 1.0 (1% = 1/100 - 0.01).

Then this can be use to find expected equity profit = balance * (1/100)

Then you have if (AccountEquity() > expected equity profit)

I was able to terminate EA earlier but reload is manually done but what I want to achieve is to just stop the EA ( this is achieve in this version), current problem is for it to restart.

you can test the EA I attach and see, set end and close to 1min apart it will close all trades but If I enter the date it will not start automatically except I reload afresh.

I dont think you can restart the EA after terminating it. Unless you reload. Try using the function Sleep.
Do the Math
Time to Restart - Current Time (when started sleeping) = amount of time to sleep

Just so there is no confusion your CloseAll() function closes only the trades with that magic number right?

Hi,

Here are my tick testing for 4a version on DAX30.
I was testing from Nov/2015 but i lost results and had to start from Mar/2015. As far as i remember there was no DD higher than 10% between Nov/2015 - Feb/2015. The only one is which You can see is between 10-15/Mar where was high peak with small retracement where Sell orders were hit and then move up again.

starting account 10k USD
profit 2,6k USD
max DD 59%

will try to test this hot period to reduce DD.
