Show me more of the log. I want to see all the messages, especially the ones that happen right before the trade is about to happen

NEVERMIND!!! I think I figured it out.

See where it says. "Ready to Rock: chkLong=true chkShort=false"

What should of followed (above it) was: " Ready to Rock: semaDot=1.xxxx"

Since that did not happen that means that the semaDot=0, (either no semdot found or no ZZ/3semadot comgbination!).

In your case there is no ZZ at the last green dot. Do u want to ignore ZZ?? LEt me know and I will put that in there.

Yes ignore the semafor dot because I thought that the rules traded green candle 1 to 3 candles after any semafor dot

Yep that is what we thought. But John brought a good point and after re-reading the rule, it was clear that ZZ was included:

SELL
Trade With The Trend
1) ZZ Semafor On TOP(Within 1-3 Candles)

Notice it has ZZ Semafor and not just Semafor.
So I combined it so that the EA looks for when both a ZZ and a Semfor dot are present.

Ok Here's the copy with that setting, just set IgnoreZigZag=true

Once the trade is positive (it can be BE or not BE) and when prices reaches your StackStep a new trade will open. The same will happen with the next one and the next one.

Hi, My current status for Boloso and 3C. {image} {image}
Reamasesa:
Did u get a chance to test the TrailingStop Ea I sent ya?
since it has all of the Be, BELock, TrailingStop, Stack, just try to test one at a time each of those.
When it comes to stacking, 1st find a spot where the currency is trending. then in the EA set it to buy or sell whichever way that trend is headed.

Let me know what results or no results u get. I have one more debug thing I will send u, it's what I did with checkz (BTW I need to clean v35 of the print messages).
That worked perfectly to determine the problem he was having. We will do the same with your situation. and get you going with the stacks and stuff.

Hi X,

I thought I already answered it, sorry.
I tried the test EA on strat tester and all the functions worked fine.
On some occasions it even made profit, although it lacked the logic


Thanks.

Isn't it funny? No logic but a times it can make profit just using a trailing step and stacking.

Ok then at least we know that the functions work. that tells me that for whatever reason the logic to GET to the trailing and stack is where your problem lies.
OK... let me move around some stuff and I will send u another test EA. At least I know now where you are getting stuck. Thnx

Jess, my TP=20and my LS=60. This last trade does not look like my settings were set. The Tp and LS look opposite of what my settings are.

John:
I am testing 3C v24, I was getting wierd TP and SL but then I noticed. I had Use_ATR_Stoploss =true as well as StopLoss=20.
Use_ATR_Stoploss was taking over so I was seeing that as a stop loss. Check your inputs and make sure that Use_ATR_Stoploss=false.

I'll have an upgrade in a bit.

EA Updates

Please download the following EAs. These have fixes that deal with error capturing when a trade's stoploss is not modified correctly. A correction to the stacking function. If StackStep was equal or less than spread, the EA would freak out and spit infinite amount of stacks that continuously lost (- spread).

John, Reamasesa set ShowDebugInfo=True on 3C. We will use just that EA to debug the code. I have placed log messages on many key spots in that EA, that will help me determine exactly what is happening with each of your situations. You will see alot of message that start with ""Ready to rock: ....." in the Experts Log

John, like I mentioned before make sure the the Use_ATR_StopLoss=false when trying to use the STOPLOSS input

Reamasesa For now lets concentrate on stacking so lets just set StackStep=XX and leave the rest (BE, TrailStop) deactivated.

Guys, I am still on vacation so I didn't do much this week... I plan to be back at it sometime next week.

One more thing. DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. Even if you see weird results or the EAs not performing like before. Just Imagine that we are already making $$$ that is all you really need... change your attitude... and just watch the magic become real....

Have a great weekend.

Checkz:
Sorry I just realized I answered incorrectly your question about activating Stack

Just set StackTradeStep=XX pips. that will start the stacking function.
If you leave it as 0, then stacking is not done.

UPDATE TO BOLOSO

Guys:
Later on I am going to introduce the FLIP version of these EAs. Flip and FLIP TRADE or take the opposite. I had someone test the 3C flip and the results are good so far. VERY good. Just give us a week or two and I'll update the EAs with the FLIPTrade option and provide some inputs and forward tests/

While I was converting Boloso to a FLIP EA I discovered and fixed a couple of inconsistencies. So I updated the original version

Hi,

Thanks for the updates.
I've placed the latest on my charts, I have a EURGBP trade which is at 52P and still no stacking but I've placed the new 3C EA on an already running trade so maybe it needs to pick up some slack.

I'll update more when I see more

Make sure to set ShowDebugInfo=yes and then when u think there should be a stack, record the time. Send me that info plus the log
{the latest log file under MQL4/Logs}. An image of chart would also help
