While having a good wrap up of the setup as per the prior posts, lets not forget as well your basic infrastructure. Looking at the network specific/influencing settings it will help not only yourself as well it will benefit your broker and therefore also other traders.

I do run live and demo from VPS. Reason beeing, I and I assume many others just cant realize the network and CPU performance of an up to date VPS from home. My results compared 1 to 1 have shown that a MT4 on VPS performs way better than on PC. Let it be through lower latency, bandwith and CPU power.

Cheers

expat1967 Very much I ask you to lay out updated version 4.0

Hi Macho,

no updates currently on this for sharing.

Cheers

Appearlingy some guys want to rescue their Oanda API business while OANDA is getting its own MT4 Platform up...

Cheers

Hi

The max number of bars are the main factor as per my experience.

You can push it to the limit e.g. with Pallada on 10 different charts which drives a native MT4 setup on its knees. When you limit the bars as mentioned prior it will drive just nice no visable slow down while running consistently for a whole trading week;)

In the end it depends what EA or Indicator you are running and how much input and resources it does require. Check with the Windows Task Manager...

Cheers

Hi All,

I do set below to level MT4 performance, esp while scalping. Initially tips by ATC and CNS though...

****************************************************

The values for Bars Memory and Bars per chart, will significantly reduce memory consumption and improve TCP connection stability.

Max Bars in History: 50000 (or less as per CNS: 5000)

Max Bars in Chart: 5000

RESTART MT4 after making the changes

****************************************************

While having set all your charts and EAs:

Open Market Watch and click on HIDE ALL (All non used pairs on Charts will not show any further and not use up bandwidth/resources). Then close Market Watch if not needed.

You can always go back later and choose "Show All" to select new charts, just remember to reset for "Hide All" when you're done. Turning off the market watch window DOES NOT help in this respect, so always choose to "Hide All", once your charts are set.

That might not work with EAs supporting multiple pairs from one chart. Give it a try though...

Hope that helps further ;)

Cheers

EURBGP TP6 SL112 if I recall it well.

Forgot, change as well:

extern int MaxSpread = 4;

to

extern double MaxSpread = 4;

Cheers

Is there somebody here? Very important the max spread settings, but not working!:( Last night the spread was 8-10.. , the maxspread setting is 3 , and shocker is working... Why? How can i fixed in Metaeditor to correct maxspead working?? Help, please!

Yeap, it does utterly nothn besides printing in the Journal...

Try replacing:

void MaxSpreadFilter() {

RefreshRates();

if (10000.0 * (Ask - Bid) > MaxSpread) {

Print("Spread is too high");

return;

}

}

with

bool MaxSpreadFilter() {

RefreshRates();

if (10000.0 * (Ask - Bid) > MaxSpread) {

Print("Spread is too high");

return(0);

}

return(1);

}

Then replace:

if (TradeSession() && AllowTrading)

with

if (TradeSession() && AllowTrading&&MaxSpreadFilter())

Then compile...

Cheers

Well its getting to the point where I need to put a stop to it for now. As well having my mailbox full with inquiries, other EAs in the making, etc. I do need to focus and channel accordingly. :-S

Moving forward I do further develop Indo Run and will distribute/support to those who also supported/will support me considerably and/or I am colaborating with closer.

Further Versions might follow in this thread, but will be delayed compared to what is available.

Cheers

Thanks for quick answer expat..

 

well..when i load ma 10k basket setting..is avoid news false..theyfore i ask u.

further is monthly end trading true.. i think maybe it is dangerous.

Auto lot size is false.. and i set minimum lot and risk..but the EA will further trade based on account balance

i cant found fixed lot slot in settings.

 

like i said i use 1.40 n version with ma 10k 3 basket settings..what must i do to add in this settings??

actually i complete this settings with:

Avoid news true, Risk 2.0 to 0.1

i use Alpari UK so i calm GMT off set 1.0

Trade month end to false

 

i would be grateful when u can give informations to this

 

greetings

post your set to see whats on

Cheers

Hi Expat and rest of the experts here

 

I have downloaded and testing Indo Run 1.5 on my FXCM account... So far I must say it's a wonderful EA ! FYI, I also have Cable Run 3.0.

 

I've read through all 37 pages of this thread and I still cannot figure out how can I set a fix stop loss for a losing trade ? Can someone help me out here ?

 

For example: If I want to set Indo Run to close only the trade which is showing a drawdown of -200 pips. Which setting do I change ? What do I change it to ?

 

Also, for those looking at Cable Run.... the Risk Management in Cable Run does not work.... I tried setting MaxLossMethod = 1 or 2 and it doesn't matter. The trades are not closed out. Instead... new trades are not opened.... Duh ;-(

 

One other small question. I can't figure out which MT4 folder do I place the Indo Run v1.5 .set file ?

 

Thanks

Dear Brokers,

It would be interesting to get an official statement/backgrounds on some technical observations:

1. How do Brokers allocate the number of ticks send? My observation is that, some brokers have only up to 50% of ticks than others over the same timeframe monitored.

2. Why does a Live and Demo account of the same Broker differ in number of ticks and spreads over the same period measured? My results show up to 25% tick difference and spread from -0.2 up to 0.7 differences making a demo account rather useless for most EA testing. Shouldn't that be an issue for the controling instance since it might mislead traders?

MT4 History Data: Besides Alpari NZ all Brokers appears to struggle to provide gap free data! That's a well known issue, why does it continue? As well an issue which should be handled by a controlling instance as it makes backtesting worthless and missleads the "unexperienced" trader.

Cheers

Hi all,

I cannot download the Indo Run 1.5 from megadownload. Can anyone just email me the mq4 file directly? my email is [email protected]

Hi expat1967,

 

first thank you for sharing this great EA.

I have any questions to this, is not favourable when we to enable Avoid News?!

I try 1.40n version with ur ma basket settings and i would to set minimize risk..so can i set 1.0% or 0.1 %

 

thanks in advance

Not really sure if I understand you correctly.

Always use the News Filter. It drives best in blocking some trading time out as of now.

Use fixed Lot for the simplicity and less risk involved. The Autolot will press your account harder.

Cheers

After watching this FractalS&R for a while, guess what, Cable Run logic works just fine for trend trading. Those "steps" are formed upon the formation of the fractals. So is the entry point. If there is an initial breakout of support (red dots), indicating trend is potentially down but we don't know how long. Sell as soon as the resistance (blue dots) is formed. In the above example, you would have 8 sell orders. All got stopped out when price closed above resistance. 7 wins and 1 loss.

 

This post is not trying to mess with Indo Run. As stated in my initial post, fixed steps get slaughtered big time in a trending market. You either need to increase the step size in the day session or make it adapted to price action.

Hi All,

appreciating any productive feedback and surely interested when some are thinking outside the box. Doesnt mean I will adopt straight but it helps to drive a discussion and therefore into further ideas. E.g. I am not considering the Stocastic but the Dynamic Step has been something which I picked up again. Indo Run is giving you the option to alter the step size already... I have enhanced this a bit further though see where its driving.

The Fractal Indi you might try on a dedicated EA first see what it really delivers. I have not looked at it closer. E.g. is it repainting/if so how much... again might be better taken standalone...

Cheers

There was a basket of 5 sell orders starting GMT 15:00 on Dec 13. All closed out with a net profit at GMT 00:15 on Dec 14. I was also using the conservative set file (excep GMT offset=1). Broker is Apari UK. FXDD is 4 digit, so the ATRon filter may act differently.

ATR Filter is adjusting to 4 digit auto. I have never run it on 4 digit, cant tell if there are differences. I recall some of the guys using FXDD before...wasnt it richdad ;)

Cheers

Forward testing indo run 1.5 at FXDD for 2 days, conservative set file.

A lot of buy and sell limits but none was executed.

So far no trade, is there anything wrong?

Nothing wrong, I guess ;)

Check the Chart Info for Filter and Trading Status. One of these is deleting your Limit Orders.

Cheers

Expat,

I'm testing both versions, 1.5 and 1.4p :) (1.4o with NFP and ATP added and fixed routine). I noticed that lot of (high/medium impact) news on FF don't even exist on TSD calendar. Is it possible to solve news filtering with incorporating both news feeds, FF and TSD?

 

I also found Fx Daily news filter on FF forum. Take a look at this address:

forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=2295210#post2295210

Also take a look 1st post of this same thread, its about news filter, different from FFcal (and it looks better).

Latest version here:

forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=250544

We discussed that already prior in the thread. News are not standardized as well the impact classification. The TSD Filter delivers pretty well in tests forward/back, quality must not come with over quantity... Nevertheless, testing an other one over the next weeks as well.

Cheers

Tom

Hi All,

lets see the next quartely figures which should be more comparable as the current and explained in the prior links in detail.

I doubt it is much of a broker matter and discussion as long it is not a marketmaker. The listet Brokers care about your trade volume and their related markup on spreads or commissions.

Its pointing more towards us traders. Are we really trading that bad? What is causing this? Again, see the ratios next quarter since the calculation methods should be more aligned...

I would certainly be more happy if the ratio would be the other way around...

Cheers

I will not argue with you but all that *we* (little boys) read in the media is already priced in the market. :)

Yeah that has some truth in it and we are just "followers" :) However it came up as well lots of other high stuff over the weekend thus we might see the impact upon opening only. Besides its December... Maybe its time just to stop all for this year...

Cheers
