  1. Thanks for your expertise Birt, always appreciated:) The question now, is there any reason to upgrade to build 226? I can only see disadvantages mostly due to the memory consumption but I don't know if there is any other effects as well? I am running 5 different charts with the same EA and the memory consumption for my mt4 went from 13mb to 28mb. I think that's is a huge step in wrong direction...
  2. Re: spread increase

     

    I dont know what happened but today the spread on EUR/CHF increased from approximately 2 pips to more then 5 Pips its been like this for the past 8 hours Alpari-US spread is 2.5 on this pair with no commisions,

     

    I hope this is not the beginning of the end of CollectiveFx.

     

    The reason for this is sent as an email in the MT4 application, read there.

  3. Re: Fusion v1.1a

     

    You do not need to set-up any webserver to backtest HiRIDER. The only thing you have to do is changing the following line in the HiRIDER.mq4 file:

     

    Activate("1.03", 2062729, true, "39515511", 1);//Activate("1.03", AccountNumber(), IsDemo(), PlimusRefNr, 1);

     

    Change to your demo account number instead of 2062729, compile and run backtest as save2009 wrote.

     

    Kudos to save2009 for the education of this EA!!!

  4. Re: Forex Bling-Exclusive Report pdf ForexHope EA

     

    I totally agree with Birt and eusanka.

     

    The code is a total mess...not written by professionals. That's the problem these days. Making quick bucks from sales supersedes quality and thorough testing.

    Add some marketing hype to the mix, pay your affiliates well and so lure in people who actually believe the statements and claims they make.

     

    EA business should be regulated if you ask me...but that's a discussion for a whole new thread. ;)

     

    Anyway...I managed to educated both 'thunder" versions...see attached.

    Especially since a few members here wanted it....Saendee: have fun and let me know how it performs.

    Don't forget to install the DLLs as well.

     

    Note: The ThunderSt0rm appears to have an update (so it says on the chart when loaded...still nice to have those features... ;) ).

     

    The latest version is 910b. When that is posted I'll try to do my magic again.

    Update: I see it's posted. Will work on update. It appears the automatic GMT settings are corrected.

     

    Tested on demo and live accounts. Works.

     

    Have fun...and don't forget the kudos...! ;)

    Thanks.

     

    The reason why there is a new thunderstorm is most likely because fxbling version 910 was leaking memory like crazy. I loaded both thunderstorm and thunderbolt on my alpari account and guess what, the terminal.exe process was 120mb when I looked :o I am pretty sure this has something to do with their new automatic gmt offset implementation...

  5. Re: Forex Bling-Exclusive Report pdf ForexHope EA

     

    Yep, the code is pretty much spaghetti code. They're one of the worst written EAs I've seen and there have been endless problems with them since forever. I can't say much about the logic behind them (except that if you run the whole package it seems to be losing) but the code is rather bad and disorganized.

     

    I have basically run every EA they have developed and I can just agree. I have tried to tell them this as well but never got any good answer back. Right now I am paying for there fxbling package but if they can't show better code than this I don't see a point in paying. Why pay if you are a beta tester? The product they sell doesn't have enough quality to be called a 1.0 release. Their fx technical aspect can be good but if the code is so bad that we see here, its no point in using it because you never know what will happen....

    Evolution2, unlike Evolution1 does not connect to the server to fetch the breakout limits so now it can even be backtested.

     

    All the others, including Fractals, no longer call back to the server and can be backtested. The automatic GMT offset that was calculated using the server is now calculated using the local system time.

     

    If your backtests aren't working, try visual mode and see if you get any error.

     

    Ah, I now understand why my Thunderstorm opened some crazy positions outside of the trading time. I used the new auto gmt and it seems that I had problems to connect to forexhope servers. So if you have problems with connections against their server you might end up with crap and trades when you don't want? I commented this on their homepage because it can cost the user a lot of money. My trades was ok but I had to close some EURCHF manual. I am not super good in reading code but you guys on this forum, what do you say about the code from forexhope, is it just junk that has to be rewritten? It feels like it....Feels like there is no error check what so ever...My terminal.exe process was 112MB big when this happened and I guess something ate memory...Don't know if the popup window with messages can do this?

  7. Re: EA: DTS1

     

    Don't waist time on this EA, I have tried it and I stopped using it due to several factors. First of all, there are bugs in th code plus if the cycle goes on for a long time and you have lots of open positions, mt4 can not handle this very well and you will loose...DTS-1 should be a better Pointbreak with more filters for reversals etc but I can't say they work that well. I can just say, stay out from this EA.

  8. Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe

     

    Example:

         l_ord_total_0 = OrdersTotal();
         for (int l_pos_4 = l_ord_total_0 - 1; l_pos_4 >= 0; l_pos_4--) {
            OrderSelect(l_pos_4, SELECT_BY_POS);
            l_cmd_8 = OrderType();
            if (l_cmd_8 == OP_BUY && OrderMagicNumber() == gi_928 && OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission() > 0.0) {
               ld_12 = OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission();
               if (li_20 == 0) li_24 = li_24 + ld_12;
            }
         }
    

     

    As you can see, only the magic is checked here, not also the symbol.

     

    It should read:

    ...OrderMagicNumber() == gi_928 && OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && OrderProfit() + ...
    

     

    Basically, all checks of OrderMagicNumber() without an OrderSymbol() check are buggy, unless the author wanted to count all the open orders, which there's no reason to in the case of this EA.

    This is mostlikly a bug... Thanks for the explanation:) Another question that you might can answer, what does the FRACTALS1-5 function calls do in the dll? I can see that FRACTALS5 is for example used before an entry is opened for breakout. You send in 7 arguments and as response you get an integer....

  9. Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe

     

    If you're forward testing Fractals4 or Thunderbolt, you should be aware of a severe bug found by clovelly. The EA does NOT check the symbol of the order so unless you change the magic numbers for each pair, it will happen that e.g. your EURUSD EA will close the EURGBP orders. So, make sure that you use different magic numbers for each pair.

     

    Where in the code can you find those bugs with magic numbers that are not taken into the consideration for other pairs? Can you maybe show and code example?

  10. Re: Fractals4 -- new Fractals from Fx H0pe

     

    I am running demo on fractals-4 and one thing that I observed was the 2 blue lines that shows high and low for the High Volatility breakout mode. I took a note on what it was before and after I restarted the mt4 application and guess what, it was very different. If now the blue line is the entry point for a trade, what will happen if this is wrong? Very easy, you will enter the market on false information and with high posibillity to lose that trade.....

  11. Re: Vision EA

     

    Don't put any effort in backtesting or forward testing this EA, its not good! You can look on my forward test on this page:

     

    http://visionea.mt4stats.com/

     

    The maximum DD have been 42% and this EA is even worse than DTS-1 or PB5. I shall also add that this EA is usning a DLL that calls forexhopes servers to verify if you have a license or not. This verification is however not working that good if you start your MT4 from the start button (MT4 crash). Instead you have to go to the directory where you have the terminal.exe file located and double click.

  12. Re: DreamBuilder Fx - Yohanes R. Gagahlin - Educated.

     

    Just to brief you a little bit more in this topic here. DTS-1 was developed to decrease the number of days in DD. This was made by 3 extra cycles, I, R and the 3rd I can't remember. This backfired during Christmas when Lin (Johannes) had to develope another S (scalping) cycle to get himself out from a major DD on an account starting of $65K. When he developed this S cycle he also put the logic to control the cycles from forexhopes servers. I stopped trading with DTS-1 in february mainly due to software bugs. The EA remebers the Start Postion (SP) in a file and when my MT4 crashed for some reason, it forgot the SP and this basically means the EA doesn't know about the running cycle. I wrote about this to Lin and there support but I didn't get any attention about it. The other reason I stopped trading with this EA was also the 3+1 extra cycles that was said to decrease the time in DD didn't kick in (forexhope didn't turn them on from their server). The marketing of this looked good but in reallity it didnt work. The final reason was the re-quoates that the brokers are giving making your profitable cycle become non-profitable.

     

    Just to comment fxknight statement above about blowing the account. The MM on this EA is very good and I can say even if it open many positions, it will not blow your account, not on risk 1 level at least ;) If you run the agressive level you can wipe out the account easily.

     

    With this said, I can not recommend anyone to trade with this EA. Lin has to stop the cycle thinking because a cycle can live forever....You can educate yourself but going live with it is not to recommend.

  13. Re: DreamBuilder Fx - Yohanes R. Gagahlin

     

    I have traded with this EA and it will go in draw downs that can take long time to get out of. Its an extended version of Pointbreak that uses pyramiding like fxknight wrote. I stopped trading with this due to the DD plus that it opens to many positions and when it shall close the cycle it can result in loss due to re-quotes from the broker. Yohanes is working on a new DTS-1 and you can read about it on the following web site:

     

    http://forexbreakthrough.com/

     

    This version is not worth the effort to educate yourself in...

     

    Very nice of you to share your experience with this EA. I think the developer should rename them. I propose:

    PointBreak --> AccountBreaker

    DreamBuilder --> DreamCrusher.

     

    Haha, I like your new names =))

     

    The forexhope guys looks like they have some nice EA's ongoing, lets see where its heading...I am not a big believer of their Vision EA that uses correlation between EURUSD and USDCHF. I started to demo that and I have had 30% DD and its basically the same as DTS-1 and Pointbreak... Their Fractals which is basically a breakout EA has performed good until recently where it has started to lose. I will test the new DTS-1 that will be released end of July and see if it has been improved.
