This is a little similar to this EA. If trading long, it will take the lowest low of the day, wait for a closed green candle, and enter with buy stop at the high of that green candle. If price moves against you, then your stops are triggered. But if price trends then you will have multiple positions per day.

Not exactly the same EA but it is sort of idea. Stack positions in the direction of profit.
I have download the RAT EA, but not open, can you give the EA details or forum details, please

Hi Newark18, did you have the missing include files needed to test this EA ?, I'm interested on them.

Best regards

Any one know of any issues running the snowball on two instances of Mt4 on the same computer with 2 different accounts? I copied over the installation directory and renamed it to be able to launch another instance. I have all my shorts on one, and they seem to be functioning fine. That was the original installation. All the longs are on the other newly created installation. No longs have triggered. The longs look like they just keep moving higher from the opening price. I see the orders being placed in the history but they just keep getting modified up. I didn't have this problem when I tried individual sides with just one instance of MT4. I was just wondering if there are things I need to look out for.

Thanks!

OK It kicked in about 20 hours later. A bit odd. So it does work just delayed a day.

I will be waiting for your modifications.
Sorry for the relatively long absence. I don't have the chops to code and manage what I planned in MT4. I'll have to use TradeLink which gives me a full development environment for it.

Hi 7Bit,

Two questions:

(a) could you post a link to your latest EA version (the one with scale in/out)

(b) are you trading live with Snowball.

After trawling through martingale shark infested waters, its refreshing to discover the logic behind this.

this EA opened up about 1000 orders on EU pair last night :

http://www.screencast.com/t/38rihs5Moy

dont know why this happened must have got confused for some reason have been using the script without too many problems for a few days.

Then when I clicked "stop" nothing happened at all.

If this happens look for a script called "Close all pending orders" and thow it onto the charts.

Paired with good TA skills this EA looks like a holy grail.
I'm wondering how come this thread has never been attracted to a broader audience?

Bump. Anybody using this? I've tried it on a demo a while back but got busy on other things. First thing is to totally understand how it trades...

7Bit - how are you doing on this approach?

Hi there: Just yesterday a friend of mine pointed out to me your thread, and I read some of it with delight. I had a similar idea during August 2009, without having ever read you,and I worked on indicators and EA since that time. What you describe here and in the other sites too as snowball, is what my EA is doing as a thin slice of its settings , but it is doing also a lot more possiblilities of actions, besides what you describe. Besides the "anti-grid" action (that I use to call "forward- adding" as Bill Williams was calling it too, or synthetic-fx-options...
Hi Costas, I was wondering if there is any possibility of sharing your ea???

This week I took usdjpy long - a buy limit pending order at 100.00. The order needed 4 days to close in profit. It accumulated 14$ in SL's and finally made 33$ profit, so net profit around 19$ or 194pips with 0.01lot.
