Here it is, at last. I tested it for long enough and it seems to work just like v2.1, or at least I can't see any problems. There are no changes in the strategy. The code was simply fixed and cleaned up some more to compile on build 500 and above. Also I added a display for the leverage on the chart.
In fact if you want to study the code, it should be a lot easier now that the variables all make some sense.
 
If you're running XEv2.1 then you should be able to drop XEv2.2 in it's place and have it take over with all your trades. (Don't forget to apply your presets again!)
 
Don't forget to say thanks! This effort took a fair bit of work.
 
PS. The EA racked up over 10% this month on my live account. (Max drawdown was around 25%)

A rather lengthy and detailed manual text file is contained in the package which goes into heavy detail about everything I know about the EA, how it works, and exactly how to use it. Please read and do sufficient testing in demo before running this EA live.
 
This EA is a hacked EA and of course, cannot come with any warranty if you lose money because you can't use it properly.
Of course, I cannot be held responsible if it makes you a boatload of money either. :P

It's not a hobby to the banks!
 
I firmly believe that if you cannot read the market accurately, you have to hedge to stay alive in forex. Much better to be very accurate however, but EAs can't really do this.
 
Just for everyone's information, the Pyramid XEv2.1 made close to 10% last month on my account. This was running EU and GU at 0.15 risk with an account size of $5000. I'll keep it set like this for the forseeable future. Just doing the math on having 10% increase in account per month means that the EA will take a few years until it makes enough per month that I should be able to withdraw my initial startup funds from the profit of a single month of running the EA.
 
5% a month is good, but 10% per month is really good for an EA.
 
I'm currently tinkering with an XE2.2 that builds on the latest buld 500+ MT4. Also I'm having a look at snippets of the Pyramid 8 code (thanks to the guy who sent me a decomplied version of that one) to see if I can backport any fixes made in that version back to XE... although I cannot see the dll functions so I can't implement all Pyramid 8 changes. I did note that Pyramid 8 works by using three MAs on different timeframes to determine lock and averaging trade position placement. This differs to 5.2 which only seems to use two MAs to determine trend direction only.

MQ4 File of HLH4 Project
 
Hi,
 
you can download all of my early research about HLH4 system here's the link :
 
http://www.4shared.com/zip/j0UTBlKb/SHARE_HLH4.html
 
note :
 
1. All of material that i give is copyrighted, never sell or share to anybody, use for private and personal only, and i never sell too.
2. HLH4_1.mq4 is HLH4 first original every tick trailing stop version.
3. HLH4_CANDLE_SIZE_FILTER.mq4 is HLH4 filtered with candle size selection.
4. SupRes_AKHMAD_HLH4.mq4 is version of HLH4 combine with Fractal Support and Resistant custom indicator.
5. SR_Fractal_Ori.mq4 is not HLH4 system, this EA is pure Fractal support and resistant based.
6. HLD1.mq4 is HLH4 system but design to work in D1 time frame.
7. Fractal Support and Resistance.mq4 is custom indicator that u need to work together with SupRes_AKHMAD_HLH4.mq4 and SR_Fractal_Ori.mq4
 
that's my early HLH4 research, btw the final version is not yet finished, still on progress to make this system work better.
and give me some idea and some improvement,
 
useless or no, keep in mind that you never sell all of material, thanks for your attention, give me good feedback.

OK! Well I finally found a copy of MetaEditor build 482 lying around, so I managed to get a compile of Pyramid XEv2.1 into ex4. I hope this helps everyone out who was having problems.
 
I hope MetaTrader gets fixed in future. Hopefully this ex4 will tide all of us over until we find out what the future holds for MT4. In any case we have source code, so even if we had to, we could port the EA to another platform!
 
I've reuploaded the EA with the ex4 included, and edited the manual to reflect what I've learnt since releasing XEv2.1

Update and progress
 
Hello,
 
this is my last updated and progress.
 
i will make more advance system, this new HLH4 system will trade automatically with no fear of Margin call, sounds like crazy idea, but minimal is can avoid margin call by profit and margin management system of new HLH4 concept.
everybody can call me crazy, but i dont care, i do what i want to do. nothing can stop my journey.
 
Here last HLH4 concept become trend follower system breakout strategy, can scan and search automatically every valid breakout in H4 TimeFrame

It could also be Windows 7 or Vista, which tends to muck with access to files whether you start MT4 terminal and Editor as the Administrator user or not.
If I were you, I would just load the mq4 directly onto your chart, and let MT4 compile it automatically so that next time you start the EA it has no problem accessing the EA. That's more or less what I have done with no issues.
 
As for build 500.... I really just wish MetaQuotes would stop pissing about with the platform. It needs to be a stable known-entity, but I feel that brokers would love to stuff up our trading in order to kill our accounts with all these "updates" - which is probably why updates tend to break things so often. It's not our job to do free beta-testing for them. It's our job to get on with trading.
 
I had some other PM questions:
 
I think it's a good idea to give the EA a bit of a push with regular deposits IF you can afford it. Again, FX trading is risky and there's no telling if the "powers that be" just want to floor the GBP and EUR one day and throw the EA into margin trouble. So don't deposit into your account more than you can afford to completely lose. Trading like this with an EA is not how a professional trader would trade, and relies a lot on margin and your equity to survive and profit. While the risks we take are fairly small, a massive drop like 2008 could give the EA some considerable grief.
 
As for running 3 pairs, I think I understand why the EURGBP pair was dropped in later revisions of Pyramid.
 
EURGBP as a tradable pair isn't very good (been testing this in the EA). It often consolidates for too long and then when it trends, it trends rather predictably in one direction and therefore takes forever to clean out a cycle of trades. Even manual traders often ignore the EG because it's hard to make out what it's doing.
 
Over the past month, it only ever closed 3 grid trades (whereas EURUSD and GBPUSD racked up quite a lot), and even still my EURGBP trading is yet to close out a cycle... meaning that negative swap in one of my lock trades is building. (I've actually turned on the new input I put in the EA to force EG to close all it's trades out and not open any more, when it gets the chance.)
 
My concern with this pair going forward is that if it marches off unidirectionally and takes forever to close out a cycle -- it will lock up an ungodly amount of margin in open trades (not necessarily drawdown) and potentially negative swap -- which could threaten the EA later down the track with other pairs running up lots of averaging trades and requiring margin to keep the EA alive.
 
This also becomes a problem later if the account size increases to levels where your broker won't let you pull 1:500 leverage on your account, and only gives you, say 1:200 leverage.
 
The potential for EURGBP to be account threatening is there, and given the piddling amount of profit it's given me so far, I don't think it's worth the risk of running it! The koef_lock feature in the EA will start slamming down lots of profit (more than your 5% per month) on the other pairs when a pair really starts trending, but to do this it requires lots of margin. For EURGBP to lock a lot of that margin up while it sits-and-spins and prevents the other more active pairs from drawing on margin is, to me, a risk best avoided.
 
It's worth remembering that with koef_lock enabled, grid lot sizes increase (which is good for making profit), but makes an increased demand on your margin in order to do so. There is a trade-off there.... so lets aim for 5%-10% per month growth. It's safe and do-able. Let's not bite off more than we can chew, and only take from the market what we deserve.

Ok, here it is at last. PYRAMID XEv2.1
 
This version includes the fix for when brokers meddle with the trade comments, and also adds a new input to allow you to close down all trades and stop trading gracefully, if that's what you want to do.
 
You should just be able to replace XE2.0 with XE2.1 on-the-fly if you have trades open.
 
Check the manual for all information.

Hi everyone this is a great system from FF and its showing great promise Is it possible that we can build an EA or a an indicator to scan entries and exits multiple pairs for this system?
 
Its free, open source, all rules and indicators on below page.
