{quote} Hello Abo Why the EA didn't take that trade? S
Because of added filters.
The manual trades were taken using the raw method as in post # 1, while the EA is using additional filters (MA, CCI, distance from MA ... etc).

Hi abokwaik,

I have one short question: I use ct 6.41 on different pairs, but all pairs with the same settings (rolled out via template). I use variable lotsize always with 1.5 % of balance (fixed lotsize is 0).

At the moment I have two open positions: One in EURGBP (0.06 lot) and one in GBPCHF (0.01 lot). Do you have an idea, where the difference in lotsize comes from?

Thanks and best regards
siero

Yes, dear siero.

That is due to Margin Requirements on CHF pairs, which is usually higher by 2 or more times that other pairs. Mainly because SNB is known for its interference in the spot market.

Your broker has even a higher margin on CHF pairs, could be 4 times standard margin. To overcome that you need to increase the lot size percentage on the CHF pairs in order to cover for the higher margin requirements.

All the best,

Khalil

All yesterday trades (auto and manual) were GBP related, and all were Long GBP.
Today is the GBP rate day. However I will leave the trades open to their destiny.

Hi Khakil,
I traded foreward test ct 641 with your set file, but I found no trailing stop.
I have something wrong?

Hi Khakil, I traded foreward test ct 641 with your set file, but I found no trailing stop. I have something wrong?
There is a Trailing stop of 500 points (50 pips).
I checked the code and found the system checks for ATR Trailing Stop input to be > 0 to activate the Trailing. This input in my settings was 2, so that wouldn't be a problem.
However, if you changed this input to 0, yes, trailing stop will not work.

My recommendation for now is to leave all ATR values > 0 and just set the "Enable ATR-based levels" input to false if you want to use the pip values.
In next release I will have different checks for ATR and Pip levels.

Thank you for raising that up.

Hi Khalil Abokwaik,

Much respect to your hard work over here. I am reading the thread and should be caught up by this weekend. I installed the EA (6.41) on 11 pairs just to get my feet wet.

Wondering if the EA will keep opening positions if requirements are met. If so maybe set a max amount of trades at one time so margin doesn't come into play and we can load the EA on all 21 pairs and not worry about such things. Just something to think about.

Will be contributing more as I get more accumulated to the EA. Thanks again for everything.

Hello TrueStoryfx

You can already chose the max number of trades.

One more question: the ATR time frame is 4h.... shouldn't it be 1h ?

Thank you again Abokwaik for those manual tradings.... i still trade manually and like it...

Cross Trader with Higher time frame Filters using Moving Average (suggested by nonliniar), and Heiken Ashi (suggested by lorix) both can be enabled/disabled as desired. Cross Trader 6.31 {file} Cross Trader 6.41 {file}

Hi abokwaik,

I set the "Max Open Trades" to values above 1 and the EA opens just an order in 6.41 version. Do you disabled this option? Thanks in advance.

No. It is enabled. But it depends on the filters selected.

Thanks.

We already have a max order input for each pair, but I know that you mean max orders on all pairs.
Well I was thinking of either turn the EA into a multi-cross trader OR add a management EA.
I prefer the second option which gives the us the flexibility in setting different parameters for each pair, while a Trade Manager takes care of all pairs.

Reporting back on another week of trading the Ea in reverse. There seems to be a pattern. But too early to speculate. Forward testing.

Hi,

Can you share the SET file? And what the pair used in the tests?

Hi Khalik,
I am much appreciated in your hard work. Thanks a lot for your explanation
Firstly, I did not change any thing in your set file and I found no trailing stop works. And then I tried to change BE and Trailing stop to 200, no trailing stop also
