  1. Hi to all,

    Does anyone still using indo run ?

    since 3 months I'm using it and except for some big trending market movements that put me in apprehension (max 10% DD), overall is goin' good.

    I use several eas on my account and till now half of my profit on every month came only from indorun.

    I'm running it at 1%risk, news filter, momentum and envelopes filter on (this one switched on recently), dynamic profit on.

    Although this good profit as for any grid strategy I know that my account is at risk,

    and for this unfortunately I'm thinking of remove indo run from my portfolio.

    I make several bt at 99% with different settings starting from 2007 till now (as you know bt very slow), and i couldn't find any settings that in 5 years bt does not blown the account.

     

    I know that that the best thing with grid would be withdraw every month from the account and restart but then account growth is limited and so profit in percent too....

     

    What do you think ? is it better to remove it ?

    Does anyone else still using it ???

     

     

    thanks.

  2. I noticed on indorun that if opened orders exist the ea continue to trading even if session is filtered by news, nfp or adp etc... and it overrides filters. Ok, it's correct that the ea continue to manage opened orders but it also keep putting pending orders and I think this is not correct, it should'nt put pending orders if session is filtered regardless exist or not exist opened orders.what do you think ? anyway I moded my indorun 1.4o to not send anymore pending orders when there is some active filter.

     

    I also noticed that there is no more development for this ea and I think it's a pity for such a potential and good expert.

  3. Hi to all, I use two indorun 1.4o on the same pair GBPUSD, the first one at 1% risk conservative set with momentum filter on,

    the second one 2% risk with conservative set and ema on, both configures with news filter on high impact news 180/180,

    I don't know if it's better to also switch on medium impact news 60/60. maybe too much filtered.

    I modify 1.4o to call ffcal with allowwebupdates parameter, the first one call ffcal with allowwebupdates on while the second call it with allowwebupdates off so xml file it's only written from the first istance of 1.4o while the second istance read only the xml file, so there is no conflicts.

    in this way I have more trades at 1% risk, while less trades but at 2% risk with ema ( it could be even at 3% risk but to stay safe I prefer 2% risk )

    based on my backtest 1.4o has better performance then 1.5 at 99% modelling quality.

  4. I don't see where the EAs differ between the set pair versions.

     

    The combination of magic numbers are the same on each original version of the EA.

    There are 3 of them. Two are for hedging (51401, 51402), and a third (12378) if the hedging input is set to false.

     

    In fact, the EA was also hunting of trades with a magic of 51400, which is never opened, so I removed that code.

    I wonder why it was there in the first place

     

    Rio I also check magic number and I noticed that they are the same for the same pair, so you know if we can run both m5 and h4 version on the same pair without conflict? (I'm using HS-H4-EURGBP.mq4, HS-M5-EURGBP.mq4, HS-H4-GBPUSD.mq4,HS-H4-GPPUSD.mq4)

    it's strange that magic are non extern parameter on the original version, if people want to use both m5 and h4 version on the sampe pair they couldn't change magic.

    I wonder if the eas has some kind of working combination together.

  5. Yep, well that seems to be the issue with EAs of this kind, be it pyramiding, martingale or hedging.

    Generally speaking you will have profits every month, but only as long as you wipe out all hanging trades every month and remove your profits. Otherwise you end up with some very toxic drawdown that accumulates and sinks your equity, and unless you have the Free Margin as displayed on the chart, there's a risk of margining the account out.

     

    Fortunately you can get the thing up and running with only a few hundred dollars starting balance

     

    Rio I set all four ea at max 1% risk all other parameters at default, so I think I could manage well DD. anyway I follow your tip. Thanks.

  6. HI acosma,

     

    I'm using 4pairs same as u. DUe to too many trade so I also confuse whether it work properly or not?

    From wat I can see is this EA is not hedging it is martingle type. It open 0.01 lot for the 1st trade then open 0.02 lot in the same direction. But until now the biggest lot is only 0.02. Is that your ea work like this way as well?

     

    yes, for me it seems to work like you said, but finally they closed positions some with low loss and the others with profit, overall always in profit till now.

  7. A look in the code shows that the EA uses two magic numbers, and these are not available in the inputs, but are hardcoded in the EA. That means that two EAs on different timeframes on the same pair will step on each other's trades, causing the strategy to fail.

     

    I probably should have put the magic numbers in the inputs for XE. My only concern is that I don't want to meddle too much with the code of the EA lest I do something stupid and screw up it's trading algorithms.

    A small Magic Number hack couldn't hurt I suppose... but I question if it's really necessary. You're going to need a boatload of equity to want to open so many charts!

     

    I use other 4 ea with default profile all together on different time frame and till now it seems to go well

  8. That's strange. I have had no problems running this on demo. Of course, you need a broker that allows hedging and microlot, or things won't work.

    I have yet to try it live, but I will wait to test it next year.

     

    There was a my mistake: I loaded scalper profile but on its charts symbol was for example gbpusd not gbpusd-fx (activtrades interbank account), so error was due to wrong symbol choice, now I resolved the issue.

  9. Some problems opening orders for the other 4 ea on live account, I'm trying to fix it, no problem on demo account. I also got zero divide when autolot = true

    It's strange that I got problems on live and on demo is good, it's the same broker.

    broker activtrades (5 digits)

  10. Yeah.... while staring at all the MA settings and having no clue what number to enter into each setting.... my Indo run v1.5 opened 9 trades one after another... now all 9 trades are in a MAJOR LOSS positions :((

     

    Would really appreciate some kind hearted soul out there to share on the right MA settings to use ?

     

    Cos in the absence of any writeup or manual whatsoever we newbies really need someone's help to explain what each of the MA settings represent.

     

    It's like placing an ultimate weapon in the hands of an idiot (that's me :-/) it's only as good as the user and this is how I get it to work = [-O<

     

    Hey while we are at this. Anyone managed to figure out which setting can be used to limit the maximum number of open trades yet ? I cannot find OpenOrdersLimit anywhere ? :-/

     

    Thanks

    ftfx

    I use default ma settings except for mamethod switch to 3, all other filters disabled, openorderslimit exists but it's not extern parameter you have to change it to extern parameter and recompile the ea.
