The Ladder is one of the dumbest EA's I've ever tested. It must have been created by a broker to sucker in newbies such as myself (3 yrs young). Don't get excited by the quantity of trades. There is no quality or substance to this EA unless u are a pro coder. Otherwise leave it alone.
Good Morning BoHanna,

Thank you for sharing your experience with Ladder EA.
I like your use of words "dumbest EA", for 2 reasons:

  1. You called it an EA not a System. Because it is actually not a system. It is a trade/position management EA. It will help you create multiple grid orders and trails the stop for you. That's it. Entry decision is yours.
  2. It is dumb. It will do what it was designed for, because it is only a tool. Just like a knife, you can use it to peel an apple or cut your hand.


These are few lines I copied from several posts I wrote about the Ladder EA.

 

  1. post 97 : Its worth to note that two of the robots discussed so far, namely Ladder, and CLS_LWR do not represent complete systems.They are rather Methods of :Position Management in Ladder using price range , Trade Management in CLS_LWR using time range. Those robots do not have a reliable entry/exit methods and will not be used as stand-alone robots. But their position and trade management methods can be used as options for other robots.
  2. post 937 . The best use of the ladder system would be at anticipated tops or bottoms after price retraces. Where risk will be at the minimum and rewards can be huge. OR at main support/resistance areas where a pull back, and main trend continuation is anticipated.

Again thanks for sharing your experience with us here,

Khalil

I would like to know what you think about including/testing the EA called Liquidex here. It seems interesting......

Ok, Keltner channels goes in indicator folder and Liquidex goes into experts folder.

I like this because it works solid with no errors and works well with micro accounts (small deposits of $100-$500). My only problem is finding working presets. Those that were available I could not open. I have been testing this since last night. Perhaps someone will have better luck and make this profitable. If so, please share presets. Thank u

PS, you can search liquidex on FF and find this easily

Hello,

i downloaded bem_03.mq4 and start to do some testing with it. what i don't understand is that most traders talk about closing in profits, this ea keeps on trailing with x-ATR. but i would like to see what happens when the trade progresses and in positive territory we lower x to almost zero, locking in

i tested a few times, see here under. This thing didn't trade at all. Maybe test again with debuglog and find out why it doesn't trade. More critical errors found, i posted them on mql5 forumdiscussion, hoping it get fixed, will leave it for now back to testing bem03 for the rest of the day, because that has my preference. I have a holiday week and would like to test a few of the interesting ea's around
i found it here: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/11449.
I did a few tests also visual it doesn't show the keltner channel, the mql5 site showed the error(https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/34785), corrected that,

Thank u Clint! That certainly helped. As u can see I have more testing to do to get 60-90% modelling quality. The profits are definately there. If u know of an easier way to optimize this EA

please let me know because I'm not sure if its possible to backtest and optimize scalpers. I usually optimize with tester, do demo, then live.

Hi Abokwaik.

I will be developing Open Source Trading Robots based on well known systems, systems of my own, and members' requests.

I was wondering if you are still doing member's requests?.
Is it possible to have a stop and reverse line EA.
I was wondering if there was something I may have missed Over the last five or six years.
So I went back into the forums history and picked out SAR on the four hour chart system. I have been testing it all week. And I have had some good results with my demo account. the only fault with the system up to now is putting all the stop and reverse's in the right place. It would be great if I could just pull a line to where I wanted it which was a stop and reverse line EA.

thank you for your time.

Hi redfan,

By Stop & Reverse, do you mean for example : If you are long, and price hits this line from above, the EA will close longs and open shorts. Or, if your are long and price hits this line from below, the EA will close longs and open shorts ?

Or maybe you need both options ?

Hi Abokwaik

What I need is a line that I can pull to where I want it . First of all it is a stop line and secondly it's a pending order so if I'm in a sell trade and my stop line gets hit my pending order is open with a buy trade. And it would just be the reverse of this.
So I would have one stop pending order buy EA and the other one stop pending order sell EA.

PS. I've been running the test on this all week and the results are very good. Once you are in the trade get your yellow lines going the system went quite smoothly the only problem I've found is a stop and reverse line.
you can have a look at trading systems/SAR method on 4 hr charts

thank you for you time.

{quote} Close All Trades (with option to delete pending orders). {file}
Nice work Abokwaik!

Could you Modify this Close_All_Trades EA to include a "Start_Hour" and an "End_Hour" each day?.

Assuming that I wanted to trade the New York Session ONLY for example, each day.

EA will will allow trading as at "Start_Hour" (which will be equivalent to 8:00am EST depending on your Broker) and close all trades at "ENd_Hour" (which will be 5:00pm EST, depending on your Broker), and repeat this as a daily cycle.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Notice that the "Close_All_Trades EA" does not open trades.
It only closes open trades/deletes pending orders based on EA settings.

So maybe adding a "closing time" input makes sense if it were set for example at end of session/day or before red news ... etc,
but I can not understand the need for the Start Hour input ! Can you please explain the need for that.

Liquidex is a fast and furious breakout system which only works in back testing, I spent weeks trying to fine tune it and do forward testing on demo on very low latency VPS, it just didn't work

My EA opens the trades but I want it to trade one session each day and it doesn't have this feature built-in.
I could manually disable Auto_Trading once the "closing time" function has been activated and trades closed - until the following day.

So yes, perhaps a Closing_Time Input would do.

Cheers.
