*BUG* *BUG*
when s_OrderMultiplier is set to anything else than 2, the Lots are skewed.
Try 1.75 for s_OrderMultiplier and see how LotSizes for BUY end up being different than for SELL.
it might have to do with the Opening, when start lot is 0.05, a 0.10 position is opened -- 0.10 is 2x the StartLot and that might be an issue in combination with an s_OrderMultiplier different than 2.
Also note that if MaximumOrders is set, the #Levels for SELL are different than for BUY. That might be cause by the same reason

Can you please fix Bauta?

Route206, I did emailed you about this:
I did revise it and not BUG found.
Let me explain,
to calculate order quantity the EA revise the instrument minimum lot, maximum lot and lot steps. these values are set by the broker, not by the EA.
Example: If startLotQty is 0.05, minimum lot is 0.10, maximum is 100 and steps is 0.10, this is what happen:
First order send at 0.05, broker said nope, it must be 0.10 (minimum) then the EA place an order at 0.10
Second order is 0.10 (first order) multiplied by 1.75 = 0.10 x 1.75 = 0.175, the EA send the order and the broker said, nope, it must be multiples of 0.10, then the EA round to the nearest and submit an order of 0.20
Maximum Orders is for the biggest side only. losing side.
Let me know...

these values are set by the broker, not by the EA.
i don't think that is the issue.
Take a look at the attached and judge for yourself.
increments in Long: 0.05 --0.09 -- 0.16 -- 0.29 -- 0.51 -- 0.90
increment in Short: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.18 -- 0.32 -- 0.57 -- 1.00 -- 1.75

Notice how numbers are 1) different on each side and 2) how on the short-side EG104 takes one more position than the Long-side. (MaxOrders was 5)
Maybe (1) is caused by a rounding error on the broker side, but how to explain the difference between the two sides ??. And why not have EG104 take control of that? using MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSTEP) there is the possibility to do the rounding in the EA is there not??
Issue (2) however is a very different one i would say.

Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Bauta . I have an advice if you accept.

You can see a big cycle on picture. Let change open order system to reverse . Meaning , if going market up will open buy , if make pulback to down will open sell. ( will make hedge ) . And at daily target point , let say daily 1 percent profit will close all orders .. ( may be will close all opened orders on other charts at account daily target)

At this chart I have 8.5 percent floating loss . But on my advice it can to be 8.5 percent floating profit.

What your think please ? Regards...

So you're recommending to buy when market goes up and sell when it goes down?
Seriously? You've got to be kidding me.

here is how I do calculate LotQty. Of course, I do check the order qty before sending to the broker. I did explained like that to make it easier to understand.
Inserted Code
thisLotz=MathCeil(thisLotz/MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSTEP))*MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_LOTSTEP);

The market is been trending a bit lately, and yes, a stop order system may work for this scenario, but in general the market does not trend, so, an stop order approach will kill the account.
you always may try channel style. It buy above and sell bellow. Demo it first please.

Hi Bauta, I am just curious to know what "Allow import of external experts" under Common tab inside the EG104 is doing? Does it mean that this EA always being controlled by you and your external experts and it can't work itself independently nevertheless it supposed to be unlimited usage for people who paid for subscription? Thank you always. Mohsen
Hi Bauta,
I wish i have your comment on the above question.
I know what it is mean, what i need to know is if this EA will always be depended to an external object like you, another EA, DLL, ...
If it is true, then how we can make sure we will be able to use it unlimited time, i am asking this because in another thread of FF there is a EA developer who have been working with a group of investors for many years , he recently said he lost all codes and sources of his EA in a fire house. You can imagine what can happen to many traders who have been invested their time, money, hope and future on an EA and they all have been vanished in a second.
In my case,, I like to have control of my faith. I have lost many thousand dollars on this EA but never given up because i believing on you and this EA and it finally paid off and i recently making a steady profit with more conservative set up.
Thank you again for making such a great EA.
Your truly
Mohsen

This EA does not need Allow external DLL to validate licensing. You may disable DLL if you prefer.

Does this mean that it needs external expert instead? if yes then how about my concerns for being controlled from outside?
Is there any way to make it standalone EA and on the same time EA be able to do its job as you want?

Thank you Bauta - i'm not sure what happens with MathCeil() either, but something is clearly not right....

What i *am* sure of is that if i run the same test with the *only* difference being the s_OrderMultiplier change from 1.75 to 2.00 i get this:
increments in Long: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.20 -- 0.40 -- 0.80 -- 1.60 --3.20
increment in Short: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.20 -- 0.40 -- 0.80 -- 1.60 --3.20
so the lots are equal, long and short and there is one *more* position on the long side, making both side equal # lots.
So this is picture perfect!

if i change s_OrderMultiplier from 2.0 to 3.0 i get this:
increments in Long: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.16 -- 0.48 -- 1.43 -- 4.32 --12.96
increment in Short: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.16 -- 0.31 -- 0.93 -- 2.79 --8.38 -- 25.14
so once again the number is skewed and again, there is one more lot on the short side, making both sides UNequal # lots.

the original setup with s_OrderMultiplier was 1.75:
increments in Long: 0.05 --0.09 -- 0.16 -- 0.29 -- 0.51 -- 0.90
increment in Short: 0.05 -- 0.10 -- 0.18 -- 0.32 -- 0.57 -- 1.00 -- 1.75
notice how there is another issue: both Long and Short have one position less then compared with s_OrderMultiplier 3.0, while in both instances the MaximumOrders=5.

so in summary there are three issues with changing s_OrderMultiplier to something else than 2:
1) LotSize is different on long and short side
2) Different # of postion on long and short side (1 more short)
3) # of Lots taken on either side changes up/down while MaximumOrders stays same.

I've attached two files (for s_OrderMultiplier 2 and s_OrderMultiplier 3. The one with 1,75 is in a previous post)
thanks for taking a look at that.

I don't have control over other thread in FF where they lose the code or so, and if they control using other EA, DLLs or some depending technics.
I just want you to know you are commenting about external control from me in this thread. You are absolutely wrong. I don't know where in this thread you found some writing by me about controlling your EA using external sources. To end short. Rest assure you are not been controlled by me.
How license works?, if that is your concern.
I do have two types of licenses, one is FF PayPal and the other is MQL5.
for FF PayPal I do code your name inside the compiled EA, it means the only way you lose a license is if you change your name.
for MQL5. They use an encryption mechanism to license your EA with your terminal ID. It is done by MQL5, not by me.
the EA file? Well, for FF PayPal make copy of it, backup it, dropbox it, flash drive it, so, so... , for MQL5 you always can re-download it from MQL5 but it is also recommended to keep a copy of it.
Now you have your files in a save place. What you purchased has been delivery to you and you are protecting it.
and finally, this EA is standard alone, it does not have my intervention in any way.
let me know if your concerns are been answered,
thanks, bauta
