Magician Swingman first of all thank his work. You are right, I see good results with the configuration that I put in the robot. In order to look for good results with different configurations let the robot work all day. At the end of the day will show results. Using scalping 34 Thank you

I don't like a water head of an EA and "if ain't broken don't fix it" but sometimes i wish there is a Suspend/Resume button for a pair. And above that column the same for all.

Can you explain better
MaximumRatio_SpreadATR_percent?
In particular it should be adapted, on the basis of
ATR_Timeframe ?

Tnx

This is simple: when e.g. the ATR on M15 is 50 and the spread is 30, (30/50 = 60%), it is no use to take this ATR, but bigger e.g. on H1.

Swingman, Fantastic work on the EA. I am having a problem with it setting SL and TP on a cent account with XM live account Autotrading. Not sure why. It reports "OrderModify#1 error 130 invalid stops GBPAUDmicro" It reports "OrderModify#1 error 130 invalid stops EURAUDmicro" It reports "OrderModify#1 error 130 invalid stops CHFJPYmicro" It reports "OrderModify#1 error 130 invalid stops CADJPYmicro" It works on the others so far. WRONG Also XM standard demo account there has been no problem with setting SL and TP on Autotrading.WRONG I was WRONG...
Bruce,

XM has very large margins for...I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but the distance from which a stop loss or a take profit level can be placed to the existing price. XM requires that these levels be set at a very large distance from the existing price otherwise it will throw an error and prevent the modification. This is a mark of a bad broker (in my opinion). You could theorize about the reason for it. Maybe they don't want you to place a stop/tp too close to existing price because they need time to decide if they want to take the other side of the trade before it closes?

In any case, the EA is likely trying to modify its SL and TP levels at reasonable intervals but they are too close for XM's platform. Try it on a different broker's demo and see if you still get the errors.

Gave all the profit back and more after about second hour of LO at turn of market......I think a BE or TS would be very valuable...these large losses would have been much smaller with a BE or TS.....my change in ATR target to 2.0 made a difference in only 2 of the trades...PA was turning on them also.

cheers

In #Post 1 and in my head...

If someone has time to explain what he has understood and how he applies, that would be nice. (Maybe I understand what I did).

I think you do not use the early exit = M5 e.g.
For BreakEven and TrailingStop I wrote that I think about it and do it.

A while ago I would have all red or green arrows across TFs and the trades would immediately be killed...I set the squeeze back to don't close and the tradees were entered...I'm waiting to see if I should have had MM enable for the squeeze close to work on opened trades....it was set to M5 and didn't close any of the loss trades in my pic above.

I have to test. Probably the TradingHours are the cause.


- About early exits after secons:

I must think about it and test it.
I believe that here, too, one needs an "Age" for the validity of the exit signals. Maybe we'll take the same as for entrys.

Greate EA mate! I put today last version,to see how is going, all automatic mode, with money management on, scalping 33..
lets see.

I think if its posible to open trades on 00 levels, after all condition are ok, and after 60 sec age, so for buy if price its below 00 level on 1-3pips distance, to not open any trades until rpice not reach 00 level. Vice versa for sell. Bot probably i am rong, and best will be tu use this my point just for 000 levels.

Noticed the icon for EA being active is not on..... so You need to adjust your trading time in the options.

Hi SM,
One suggestion idea to try.... let say I am M1 scalper and want signals from M5 and M15 to be only valid signals for me - not to enter into trades on let say M15 and H4- is it possible to have such a switch inside parameters? Thanks
