Hey guys! I have a question about an EA I am looking to develop. I'm new to coding and am having a couple problems with getting it to work correctly. Here is the setup, it's very simple, Renkos and Triangular Moving Averages. I simply would like a position automatically taken on the first band with option to set SL and TP for different pairs. This is currently a 1p renko so for ex. I would proably have a stop of 4-5p and a target of 8-10p. This is incredibly effective for 2p renkos aswell where Sl and Target will also be a little higher. I have...
Not going to lie, this looks priomising, looking out for your EA soon!

first off, i gave u the set, if ur not capable of punching those numbers in the input settings, then there's nothing I can do to help you. and GBP/JPY is not a 30 pip spread. and the results are fine, i've already done the testing, in fact for the past 4 months. you just got here. learn to test before you make assumptions.
I put the parameters as you said well. The account Blow.

Hi Everyone,

I started testing the EA on Friday and basically just trying to get a feel for it with the stated inputs (from post 22 and 37). Weird this is, on EURUSD and GPBUSD, using version 4-2, if I have my settings as shown in the attachment, no positions are ever opened, no matter how much price action there is.

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? If I use 0.5 or 2.0 as the round number, a crazy number of positions are opened. Way too many I think.

Cheers mate, figured that out a few minutes before I saw your post. Not so fast and furious now which is likely a good thing.

I do have another question - how come I can never backtest this EA? Everytime I try it simply finishes with having taken no trades.

Cheers.

No, this never worked for me. I don't know why I can't get multipair to work right. It is not something that has ever been successful with EAs I have tried programming.

Thank you.

In version 4-2, you just need to put round numbers in pip value and nothing else. If you use 0.5, the grid size is 0.5 pips, 2.0 is 2.0 pips. If you are looking for 50 pips or 200 pips, you simply need to use 50 or 200 at the round numbers input.

Yes, there should be no problem with any currency that your MT4 supports.

I am trying on yadix demo account. I have the EA running however, in MT4 it says EA initialized, however no trade was made so far.

Any idea why?

Thanks.




Edited:

{quote} You are right, in this case is another grid EA with a diferent concept and I think the programmers can convine this to reduce the DD or avoid bad signal. Here the EA {file}
It is better GridMaster or Piggy?

Again my orders were not closed at the same level in a live account, resulting in a small net loss instead of a profit;
Do you have any suggestions on how we can deal with this?
I already mailed my broker for advice (fxcm) but am waiting for reply)

Happens in demo also. Only seen this with many open orders and a quick price move. May just be the speed the EA closes trades. Price may be moving faster than the EA can close them?
