Thanks fx4_ever for your reply.

Based on your feedback I would like to disable TargetEquity=60000.00000000

But I cannot find another setting that can allow me to set it to "0" ?

One more question is, why does the "Inputs" in the Strategy trader keep loading the last tested set of settings ?

I'm not sure if anyone else notices this, but even after I load a new set file, the old settings are still there. And it only happens when I test this EA on the Strategy tester. Is there anyway I can fix this ?

Thank you,

Firstly I like to say thanks to fx4_ever for sharing such a Great EA to us all !

I have been testing iWin EA for the past 2 days and reading this thread over. But I just could not seem to find answers to how to use this EA properly.

Please pardon me if I appear to be asking dumb questions as this is the first time I'm dipping my toes into Grid Trading. From all I've read about Grid Trading, I believe this strategy works. That's why I'm here.

Anyway here goes:

(1) How do I set the Target Profit for this EA ?

I assume it's TargetEquity = 60000 (this is the default setting). Does this mean that it will continue opening trades until the Nett profit hits $60000 or 60000 pips ?

(2) How do I set how many levels for this EA for 1 cycle ?

(3) What is the difference for the 2 settings ?

HibernateAfterCycle

EquityHibernation

When I set either one of them to True and perform a test, it immediately says profit level has been reached and Hibernates.

Thank you,

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

It's been profitable. Unfortunately the conservative set (1.4 conservative set) got caught in the big upswing on Tuesday 13th Dec. It did come down after.

 

I then changed a "setting", did some back-testing so now it will avoid the same type of situation and not place any trades. It's a good idea to do your own homework with this EA.

Hi Tomislav,

Can we know what setting did you change ? What was your setting ?

Thanks,

ftfx

I think it means that the other conditions are not being met by the filters so it won't trade. I run many pairs and they don't all trade all the time. The filters watch for specific trading conditions before setting up the pending orders and will cancel them (sometimes many times a minute) if conditions stop being favorable.

I meddled around and found that the default setting for v1.5 has ATR enabled by default and once I turned ATR off, the EA started working again.... any ideas why ? weird :-\

Another thing I'm noticing now during the Asian session.... all my pending orders are removed and the EA has not opened anymore pending orders for the past hour.

I checked and there is nothing on the news filter.

Is there something I'm missing ? Or is my EA doing something weird ?

btw, this same EA was trading fine yesterday.... I have it enabled for 24hrs trading.... I'm using the default EA settings.... so confused :-(

Sorry I was wrong:

OrderTreshold = 20; //Number of open trades for the trailing to start

OpenOrdersLimit = 0; //Limits the number of open orders

Hi Jonnnny23,

Thanks for the quick responses.

But in v1.5 that I'm running. I cannot find OpenOrdersLimit anywhere in the settings ?

Thanks,

ftfx

Thanks Expat1967 ! Really appreciate the great work and taking time to respond to our small little queries !

Sorry to bother, but I have 2 more queries:

(1) I'm trying to find the setting to set maximum number of trades that the EA can open, I read in earlier posts it should be OpenOrdersLimit = 0 but I cannot find this setting anywhere in v1.5 that I'm running ?

Is there a new Field for setting the maximum number of open trades allowed by the EA ?

(2) What does the Risk setting do ?

Thanks,

ftfx ;-)

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

FTFX
