Re: ForexPlatinum v2.1

Forexplatinum v2.1

 

i wasn't in my home to change the good numbers for lots :-/

 

it's because there is a bug or problem in the money management (MM=1) for lots 0.01

I've have to manually rewrite the good number of lots for "sell order" and "buy order"

(sell =0.10 instead of 0.01 logically)

 

why did you think the original lots (marked red in your doc) were not correct? They look consistent to the martingale approach used by the EA (0.01, 0.03, 0.08, 0.20, etc.), unless you meant the hedging BUY order starting at 0.10 lot, instead of 0.01 as you expected? Maybe that's the way the EA was coded to recover some loss quickly from the trades of the 'wrong' direction?

Re: Megadroid Pro

 

MDPro already cater the ECN broker.

You just need to change the last parameter of the "openOrder" function from 0 to 1

 

This is before change,

openOrder(OP_BUY, gd_604, Ask, ld_0, ld_8, S1_Reference, gi_280, 0)

openOrder(OP_SELL, gd_604, Bid, ld_0, ld_8, S1_Reference, gi_284, 0)

openOrder(OP_BUY, gd_604, Ask, ld_0, ld_8, S2_Reference, gi_464, 0)

openOrder(OP_SELL, gd_604, Bid, ld_0, ld_8, S2_Reference, gi_468, 0)

 

 

After changed,

openOrder(OP_BUY, gd_604, Ask, ld_0, ld_8, S1_Reference, gi_280, 1)

openOrder(OP_SELL, gd_604, Bid, ld_0, ld_8, S1_Reference, gi_284, 1)

openOrder(OP_BUY, gd_604, Ask, ld_0, ld_8, S2_Reference, gi_464, 1)

openOrder(OP_SELL, gd_604, Bid, ld_0, ld_8, S2_Reference, gi_468, 1)

 

 

After compile on the modification, you should be able to trade on ECN broker. ;)

 

Low spread doesnot mean more profitable trade :-?

That approach will also work, but actually is not required. MD always tries to send order using the non-ECN mode first, and if that fails, will retry with ECN-mode. So, leaving the code as is should be ok for ECN brokers.

Re: Classic price chart pattern trading with T101 14 pairs

Late last week, I did a buyall (blue vertical line) when the indi bounced up from the confluence of Red Support Line and 50% pullback. Currently 400 pips profit, locked in 280pips, but will close all when the indi hits 61.8% mark

Re: Classic price chart pattern trading with T101 14 pairs

Here's a link to a wave count .ex4 from IBFX that you can download. I've placed it on a EURJPY chart to give me a clue to a possible wave count on the indicator.

 

http://www.ibfx.com/tools/waves/default.aspx

 

It doesn't replace counting the waves yourself if you know what you're doing (which I don't). There's simply no program out there that can give you THE correct wave count (not even the expensive systems like Elliottician and AdvancedGet from what I've read). But it might be a good learning tool for someone as it is for me.

This is the 'educated' version of the wave indi, that will not issue annoying messages "only for IBFX clients".

Re: T101 Busket Trading Strategy (T101 BTS)

Thanks Quick for step in.

 

In thread number one, I added on 091005, equity trail in percentage, equity trail in aboslute dollar term, downlaod at

http://www.formulatrader.com/download/equity_trail.zip

 

This is an EA, that you put on any chart to trail your equity, when you are away from computer. Like my buy operation last night, was up o 500+ pips this morning, now it is down to 255 pips. So I made the Equity trail EA based on steinitz Equity trail robot. If I hade this Ea, I shall stopout on at least 400 pips profits.

finimej, thank you for re-introducing the concept to the forum. This EA certainly will help as these medium term trades take time to mature. I came on board late, so got into the long trade near the top, but still managed 200pips profit. If I had used this EA, it could have added another 100 pipsto the long. The pink line was when I went short, for a "quick" 14-hour 100pips profit.

Re: DRAGONPIPS

This is important!!!!!!!

 

Please take a look at the following lines. I think two magic numbers are wrong, but I am not quite sure. If we use strategy 2 magic number to open strategy 3 and 4 orders, then the EA will use strategy 2 to manage strategy 3 and 4 's opened orders.

 

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, g_lots_392, Ask, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s1]", g_magic_240, 0, Green);

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, g_lots_392, Bid, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s1]", g_magic_240, 0, Red);

 

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, g_lots_384, Ask, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s2]", g_magic_244, 0, Green);

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, g_lots_384, Bid, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s2]", g_magic_244, 0, Red);

 

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, g_lots_384, Ask, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s3]", g_magic_248, 0, Green);

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, g_lots_384, Bid, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s3]", g_magic_244, 0, Red); Magic number worng here! Should be g_magic_248?

 

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, g_lots_384, Ask, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s4]", g_magic_252, 0, Green);

l_cmd_0=OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, g_lots_384, Bid, g_slippage_220, 0, 0, ExpertName + " [s4]", g_magic_244, 0, Red);Magic number worng here! Should be g_magic_252?

 

I checked Dragonpips v2, v3, and Quiksilver's latest version, the code above are all the same. It just does not make sense to me. Anybody can take a look at the very original copy of Dragonpips? Any other comments?

You are probably correct in spotting a coding mistake in the original and subsequent versions. There is no reason (that I can see) for allocating different magics for buy and sell of the same strategy, at least for DragonPips.

But is it more suitable for scalpers like MD to trade during this JPY holiday, with no news nor expecting any big move?

Re: Building your own EA G/08.

asgard2, what is the purpose of the thread? If it is to teach members how to code by going through the process of "building your own EA", then it is fine the way it has been going. But if it is to (re)build the EA that you already modified on the Buy side by completing the other half (Sell side) then I propose either:

1. you post the EA as is, there are plenty of coders in this forum that can help, or

2. PM some coders that you believe can help you (if you do not want to make the EA public, for some personal reasons)

Either way, you will have a final complete EA in no time.

With my programming experience, piecemeal coding by a collective of people without seeing the existing totality, will not lead to a satisfactory conclusion. It reminds me of the game of blind-folded people trying to draw an elephant. I am saying this with a friendly spirit, so pls do not interpret it as some criticism :) .

It is your call, of course.

Re: Building your own EA G/08.

OK.. now about the sell side of Greezly

The orignal code was modified to this by someone..

 

  if(type == _OP_BUY)
  {
     if(UseBuy == 0)  return(false);   
     if((_OrderType == OP_BUY) && (OpenRealOrders == 0))  return(false);   
     if((BuyDenyLevel !=0) && (_OrderOpenPrice >= BuyDenyLevel))  return(false);   
  }
  
  if(type == _OP_SELL)
  {
     if(UseSell == 0)  return(false);   
     if((_OrderType == OP_SELL) && (OpenRealOrders == 0))  return(false);   
     if((SellDenyLevel !=0) && (_OrderOpenPrice <= SellDenyLevel))  return(false);   
  }

 

To make it sell on any currency other than the Japanese Yen.. you need to lower the sell deny level to zero or not much more.

 

If you are going to use the sell logic you will need to change it or.. you need to put in some pretty severe rules to stop it taking over the buy logic.

Relatively the old and new codes are the same, the old DenyLevels are the prices in pip values and new ones are the actual price values. They are just a matter of settings.

That similarity aside, these Deny Levels are fixed by settings, to prevent from buying too high or selling too low. But as they are static absolute values, it is a case of all-or-nothing settings. In the demo video, the BuyDenyLevel is set at 160, so ALL buy trades are allowed as the Ask prices never exceed 160 (except for some JPY pairs); and the SellDenyLevel is set at 155, effectively blocking ALL sell trades (except, again, some JPY pairs). So the simplistic static settings are not correct, and should be changed to cater for each pair dynamics.

Re: Building your own EA G/08.

Here you go people,

 

If you put this code in just after start.. you will find visual testing easier and if you change the version each time you update you will be able to keep track of which version traded which way.

 

  double free=AccountFreeMargin();
  Comment("\n", "Your Version here", "\n", "Account free margin is ",DoubleToStr(free,2),"\n","Current time is ",TimeToStr(TimeCurrent()));
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Thanks. I understand that you are trying to help with these code snippets, but this one is purely cosmetic and, imo, does not really say anything much about your approach. A more "meaty" content probably will be appreciated. ;)

Re: EUROCHF Robot Basket

At 20:19 17Sep, you had 9.38 lots on EC, with a equity of 10K. You must have great faith on the EA to use that risk.

I Don't see that trade? Biggest I see is 4.96 lots which yes, is large but the SL is so small its worth the risk.

Correct me if I'm wrong... I just don't see it.

2 trades x 4.96 = 9.92 (I mistyped in my previous post)

Re: Megadroid Pro

i'm gutted...having had such a good demo run with mdproee going live kicks off with a different story, the disparity between demo and going live seems like a chasm (as usual)......the following is my live account however only look at the trades from the 14th......

 

my live account is on a vps ...my demo accounts are on my own pc, unfortunately my router has locked up three nights this week so i can't make a true comparison, any tips and advice are always welcome

Maybe you need to check the Money Management side: I looked at March when you had about 3000 equity but some trades were around 1.5 - 1.7 lots. You can win big but when the trades go against you, you also lose heavily. I normally trade 5% risk, so it works out around 0.4 lots of base currency per 10K of equity. Also, what broker are you using? If the difference between demo and live environment is so big, a switch to a different broker may help?

Re: [REQ]Forex Phantom(will be released on June 9th)

just click the kudos, no need to send thanks messages ;)

 

also a note- set the min lot as 0.01 (or 0.1 on some brokers) to have money management work.

The Phantom manual is wrong: The MinLot parameter is actually interpreted inside the EA as the LotStep, so you have to set it to 0.1 or 0.01 depending on your broker.

Re: Megadroid Pro

Hi,

 

Anyone is Live pn Gotrader Australia. Just wonder how does demo compare with live specially the spreads.

I use GoMarkets. Since they upgraded the servers, the spread/prices on demo and live are exactly the same, as far as I can tell.

Re: Forex Bling-Exclusive Report pdf ForexHope EA

Hello all,

 

when loading the Thunderbolt to the chart, the display STATUS mentions: Backtesting mode. Is this correct?

Yes, it is ok. The educated EA pretends to be in Backtest mode to fool the DLL, so just ignore that message.

Re: DRAGONPIPS

Can someone please get the extreme edition to work on ECN/STP brokers??

Dragon_v3_universal_sl already works on ECN/STP and gives you more options than the EE version. The EE does not really extend enything, it should be called Contracted Edition.

Re: DRAGONPIPS

This EE version is a hardcoded-down version of the original Dragon_v3_universal_sl (posted somewhere in this forum), with some parameters no longer externalised, but instead hardcoded inside the EA.

You can ask the original Dragon_v3_universal_sl to behave like EE with the following settings:

Spread = 5.0

TakeProfit = 6

StopLoss = 32

MaxTrades is still in the EE version, it is just no longer externalised. Another difference is the ATR threshold (20pips in v3, 15pips in EE).

Re: [REQ] Thunderbolt EA

Actually, the default StartHour (for now) is 20 GMT and the Duration (not EndHour) is 2, so effectively the EA trades from 20-22 GMT. This is my modified version that allows you to set the StartHour and Duration, if you do not like the default values. It also addresses the issue of using wrong lots in non-MM mode. It works ok on my PC, both in backtest & forward test

Re: woodie robot

Backtest much faster...

This is the same version that I modified and posted here in this thread on 24Aug ;) . The forward testing of the EA using the default settings however has not been that hot as there are too many loss trades for my comfort.

Re: DRAGONPIPS

Can someone explain why the version posted as v4 here is written v042009 which means "April 2009" when the true v4 is supposed to be dated v081509 which is "August 15, 2009"...

 

I think there is a mistake and that it's not the last v4 but one of the first version instead...

 

Can someone confirm this?

v042009 could mean version4 2009. The only differences I can see were the TP/SL (6/32) instead of 5/25 as coded in v3

Re: woodie robot

1- All EAs here are or can be used on 4 or 5 digits brokers, is that right??

2- Do we have include the indicators if we want to make a forward test??

1. Yes, to my posted WodiesRobotNew.mq4 & finimej's Woodies_the_robot_new_5and4digits.mq4

2. Yes, both Woodie_Trend & TripleCCI are required, for backtest and forward test.
