Re: Hedge Trading #1 - EUR & CHF

 

Have you changed the SymbolStartlots to something else than 0.0.

 

Does anyone know what is the best value for SPipDivergence?

 

As to Symbol1StartLots and Symbol2StartLots parameters, should I put the same lot size for EURUSD and USDCHF, or different lot sizes? Could you tell me what SymbolStartLots, SymbolLot Step, and SymbolTargetLots for the 2 symbols (EURUSD and USDCHF) should be like?

Re: Hedge Trading #1 - EUR & CHF

 

It has been stated numerous times before, but you are trading the EURCHF simple as that even if your lot size is 'perfectly hedged' at the time of opening the position. Any profit or loss is due to change in the EURCHF exchange rate.

Trading two pairs (EURUSD & USDCHF) to achieve the same thing increases your costs in spread and swap. I don't understand why you would want to do it that way.

Historically the EUR & CHF are highly correlated however the EURCHF has moved in a 4000 pip range over the last 20 years and there is no guarantee that that range will never be breached in the future.

The same lot size for both. Lot steps the same size too. SymbolTargetLots is probably max total open lots.

With this script you can open 2 Pairs Market Orders simultaneously with TakeProfit and StopLoss settings. You can set the lot size and trade type - buy or sell - for the 2 Pairs separately.

Enjoy! :-bd

 

2PairsMarketOrdersWithTPandSL.mq4[/attachment:2j41au82]

 

Thanks.

 

I improved this script so now u only need to type how many EURUSD lots you want to trade, USDCHF lots will be calculated automatically according to current marginal requirements.

 

E.g. now 1 microlot EURUSD requires USD$2.93 (1:500 margin) and 1 microlot of USDCHF requires USD$2.00. So trading 0.2 lots EURUSD script will trade 0.2 EURSD and 0.2x2.93/2.00 lots of USDCHF.

Minimal lots and lotsteps considered.

Default Stoplosses amd Takeprofits are zeroed, since we're hedging.

If u still want to use them, they're in decimal pips, so for 50 pips u need to type 500.

 

Please try this script on demo first. Good luck!

Here is my little contribution which I hope that will help a bit.

4X-ROX.com offers this indi for $37 for monthly subscription. Don't worry its a full code indicator.

fx1001, do you happen to have other 4x-rox indis from HOG2? This indicator repaints so it shouldn't be used standalone.

Re: Hedge Trading #1 - EUR & CHF

 

now it's working after i've removed all charts and reload charts, no more zero divide error!

4xroxtx ea provided by liverpoolrulez has no auto ratio feature and has more complicated settings inside.

i shall use hedgeea 6.6 on my live alpari uk instead of rubbish 4xroxtx ea.

 

Can you share hedgeea 6.6 please! Old link is dead. Thanks.
