Hello Remon,

EA didn't close on Friday and on Sunday 00:00 (start of Monday, actually) it refused to open any more trades even though I had the equity for it.
I even re-attached the EA again but it still refused to open any new trades.

As a result of that, both antitrend on GBPJPY and normal on EURGBP on two different accounts got blown (I was away from my PC so I couldn't close the trades and try and save the accounts). Even though the trend continued, there were enough price action to close the trades in either BE or even small profit, instead, they died.

I was told this is a known bug. Please fix this.


Thanks.

Hi Remon, Please can you fix these bugs on Normal 5113, the first two are related to the alert system: 1. If we change some settings like "time from/to", S-Deal get disabled and we have to re-enable it, you said you will fix it in previous posts. 2. In new version (5113), S-Deal alerts work for a short time and then alerts with delay or choppy sound and then do not alert AT ALL and goes mute! 3. On clicking close button and re-open new cycle, the calculated take-profit is still on previous cycle and do not reset. Last one is not a bug but I wonder...
thanks, I will see.

Hi,

Sorry for not being clear.
I'm using the Time restriction.
On Friday, the EA opened 4-5 trades which was alright and according to the rules, but market was closed before the trades were in profit.
On Sunday, I've noticed that the EA didn't add any more trades even though I had the equity and the time restriction was permissive.
It continued to be passive and not placed orders through out Monday, eventually it went into survive mode because the trend continued until the account was blown up.
Hope it is clearer now.


I will post a screenshot of the EA's properties later on when I am home, there is nothing much there other than the time restriction and my key.

what do you think the problem is
1. not open more trades
2. not close the trades

is the free margin was enough to open next lot
do you set MT4 to auto enable AutoTrade button in MT4 after server restart ?

This is why a small account will not make it. However I do not recall such a movement in quite some time. This movement wiped out a $1200 account and I owe them 182.89 because the closings were not fast enough. I think I will start closing all trades when balance is 50% and maybe start closing trades from NY close to London open. Or start withdrawing as it is made.

What do you think this was. There seems to be no extreme news?

My GBPJPY AntiTrend did really good, tripling the account and lost half of it a few minutes ago, I'm not touching it but with current DD, I don't think the account will survive. Current whipsaw might save it, we'll see.

People here on the Cable thread say it's stop hunting since the GBP was at its lowest.

It may be a joke but yes, it is reality. I will because of these times initiate a stop loss in $'s to protect my deposit. This is something Ramon may want to add to the EA.

I'm not sure even that would suffice as execution time in such events is very slow to a point it sometimes doesn't exist.


My GBPJPY AntiTrend account is dead, as well.

Sorry to hear about that but I did at least get 600 out prior and so I am at break even. so i will see what the $ stop will do. This will probably not happen in a long time again.

It was a demo, after blowing my small account twice I've stopped trading this EA live until I can get it to work well for my taste

Maybe an adaptive or a percentage based stop loss would do it, if you have several level of trades, setting the $$ SL too low would get you out too quickly.

It is not Stop hunting but small retailers hunting ( GA1500 pips in 4 min!!),

Martin Gale was not so stupid to put all the capital in one run. If he lost one transaction, then he has invested
an increasing amount in the new one - and so on. Even that the others considered as a crazy gambling.

Bankers intentionally "acting" range market trying to get people to hunt reversals (with martingale on one run) - and then BOOM.
This happens constantly in all C. pairs and this is the only real thing that runs Forex.

SOS

Hello Remon,

Could you change the Hunt_v26 Normal and AntiTrend with an option that it only opens once each M15 candle.
This will make it less vulnerable.


If there are more people that like this idea please confirm it in a post.
