{quote} aroxalot: Dreddiing left long before I got here. Besides, I was there with him in 2011 when we were trying to make his EA work. That's the template that I started with. I thad many of rules except it didn't have the failed pivots, which is what these EAs have now. The core approach works, we are just dealing with the BE, Stacking, trail-stop features. It's too bad he's not around, I really could of used his help and expertise. Jess
Ahh that's a bummer, did he quit FX?

Who knows, I tried his personal email and his cell phone... no response or out of order... Hope he's ok.

Machine learning. That is intriguing. I wonder if it's similar to the design of risk control flow graphs. Basically the graph is a map that show all the paths to solve problems that system encounters, it mitigates risk of either operation or safety. You have problem X then u take path Z T B to get to S which is the solution. The graphs can get sort of involved as the complexity of the system grows, but in the end it covers all risks and provides the shortest path to a solution. I assume in your case you use machine states that once the code becomes aware of them, will store them and know when to take reference for whatever the code is dealing with in real time. I guess there are many ways to skin the kat, I mean Komputer LOL.

Looking forward to seeing your results. Thnx
Jess

PS: Just one question, how do you tie in machine learning with price? Price learning would be more conducive to what we are after LOL J/k

updates... Ok tested the files for Stack, BE, and Trailing. They worked. Yes, there were some things I had to shuffle around in the code cause what I thought was the correct approach was not due to the way that MT4 Orders are stored. I recommend you guys download these versions. The previous ones will not work as we expect them to do so and you will get more errors and etc unless if u keep it clean and not use the trailing stop or stack functions but that defeats the purpose {file} {file} {file}
Hi,

Not sure why, but the JTS on my EURGBP with 3C is not functioning. I'll let it run some more.
Current distance between open and current price, is 60 pips, JTS is set to 36.


TIA.

Sounds fascinating, very similar sounding to a stochastic process, I am currently using a genetics algorithm to adapt my model to the dynamic landscape and relationships between assets. Currency prices have much to do with commodity prices as well as economics, and as the state of the commodity market and regional economy causes the nature of a currency to change, thus the algo must adapt as well.

No error messages in the Journal right? I am runny 3c v18 on Tallinex with a set file that keysharp provided. He set the JTS set to 15pips, so far it is working.
Send show me or send me your set file and the name of the broker you are working with, what I will do is debug it using your brokers feed.

Hi,

Can't post a screen shot but the display says I've reached my 45% weekly profit which is very nice indeed, problem is, at the start of the week, the account was at 3100-ish dollars and now it's 3600$. That's maybe, 10% but certainly not 45%.
I'm going to disable the weekly percent profit, BE and lock for the time being combined with the fact the JTS isn't working for me, maybe I should call it a week and enjoy the profits even though they're on demo

WOW that is a big discrepancy! Hey is that broker u are using called RoboForex? I want to use the same broker u are working with.

Ok Reamesas lets calculate your starting balance for the week.

Go to your history tab, put your mouse anywhere over the history window and right click. From the drop down menu select "Custom Period".
Now make the starting date to be last Sunday, June 5.

Once that is done go down the list of trades to the total profit/loss and record that number.

Calculate the starting balance by placing the profit/loss number in the following equation:
starting balance for the week = Equity - profit/loss
When you are done please post the numbers so I can see what the results are.

In a bit I will upload a script. The script will also do those calculations and show you as a comment the results.
I will try to put as much info on it so you can compare those numbers to what you see on your equity balance , history tab profit/loss for week, and (if any open) open trades profit/loss. The script will contain the exact same code that the EAs use to calculate % profit for the week.

This should help us to debug what differences are happening.

So one more question. Where u running multiple EAs??

Hi,

Yes, it's RoboForex, I'm thinking to switch to HotForex as I like them better.
As for the weekly profit, I think I know where it comes from, I closed all my last week's trades on Sunday and they got calculated into this week's profits so let's ditch this issue as null.

Any word on the JTS issue? Or would you like me to start a new next week with a fresh demo account with a nicer broker?

No, use the same broker. The JTS should work. I'll update the EA to detect that the user has trades open on Sunday.
I am going to test the JTS on the broker you provided. I have a suspicion that the JTS doesn't kick in if u already have an open trade. That should not be the case cause the EA known when there are open trades and it also knows to make the JTS calculation. So I need to test the JTS when u already have an open trade that has profit.

Alright!! I ran the EAs on Tallinex and RoboForex and I experienced the TrailStop and Stacking problems myself, they just didn't do anything. Initially the functions were working, the TrailingStop was TrailingStoping and the stack function was stacking, but then it happened. On Tallinex I noticed that after one buy trade it stopped doing anything. The same on RoboForex. Not even a BE would happen. An then if you arleady had a trade on a chart when you ran the EA, sometimes it would work other times it would do nothing.

I dug into the code and found out that the EA was looking for Ticket with number 0!!!! There is not SUCH Ticket!!! LOL So as a consequence the EA would just stop doing anything.

The fix was done and now it is made SURE that the EA sees the actual open trades and not Ticket 0.

Testing it with the conditions mentioned above and it worked.... let me know if anything happens next week.

Enjoy!

Hi,

I'll let it run some more but it didn't pick up on my AUDUSD Boloso's open trade, it's at 38 pips and no BE (25+2) or JTS (36).

Show the logs. Both expert and journal, there has to be an indication of something in there.
Looks like I will have to print debug statements. The EA should pick up that trade and change the BE and/or trailing or even stack a trade if that is what u selected.

Yes the weekly profit lock is 20. Strange but here several hrs. later the notice is no longer on the AuxUSD pair.
