Indo Run (First post will be updated with new versions/setfiles/etc.)

[tomislav]

Hi Expat due to some messy DD from trades being open over the weekend during back-tests, I was thinking that a "Stop Trading Friday" could be a sound idea for an extra parameter for all the people who like to trade Fridays. It's very easy to look at the "news calendar' and turn off the days that one should avoid trading. There are some nice opportunities to trade into Friday and shut off around 14:00 - 15:00 GMT

 

For the above post: If one sees a bank holiday coming up then the best thing to do is to turn off the "day" the bank holiday is on. It's very easy to do.

I want to notify a bug on the autolotsize of indo-run 1.4o (maybe the bug is on 1.5 too)

on liteforex if you set for example 3% of risk on 10.000 usd cent account

it should be 0.3 (3 mini-lot) lot size but instead indo opened an order of 3.0 lot size (3 standard lot),

due to this bug I had a margin-call 'cause usually I didn't check and monitor this account so much, luckily it was a cent account and I lost only 200$

on other account like alpari it works good without bug.

So be carefull....

Sorry to hear that.

 

Did you change the MinLot from 0.01 to 0.1?

Cheers

expat1967, yes I changed it to 0.1

this is the set file I used on liteforex and that took margin call,

anyway indo is great and I'm very happy with it on other account, that was a my mystake not to check opened orders lot size on liteforex.

If you try a backtest on liteforex with autolotsize you could verify yourself the bug.

expat1967, I ran a backtest on the other account where lotsize works well and at 3% risk it blows the account on 13th may 2010,

maybe 3% is too much, anyway you told that that to stay safe you trade 0.1 lot on every 10k account

so 0.01 lot on every 1k account.

but it doesn't matter if the account is in dollars or euros ? I supposed it doesn't, right ?

Yeap, autolot is pretty risky as it adjusts the lotsize permanently. Better to use 10k lotsize which doubles the lotsize every 10k profit.

 

Use the newsfilter e.g. as per my current setting in the first post. I might ramp up the lotsize on this set accordingly.

 

I refered to USD accounts, thus EUR should be even better that way.

Expat or anyone else how do you modify the take profit? The trades it's done so far this week have all closed at around 12 pips. When some trades could have made 100. I looked at the dynamic profit setting but aren't sure what the settings do.

The general Profit is set in ProfitAllOrder, default is 15 bucks in your account currency.

 

For the Dynamic Profit you need the triggers below:

DynamicProfit = false; //If true, when ProfitAllOrder limit is reached the profit will trail by the defined step

DynamicProfitStep = 1; //Inc of the ProfitAllOrder value

 

Try with a lower ProfitAllOrder (e.g. 5) and a DynamicProfitStep (e.g. 10). When the profit moves over 15 the profit target will be adjusted to 15. If the profit moves over 25, the profit target adjust to 25 and so on. If the price falls below 25 the basket will be closed.

@expat1967

I noticed that ADP filter is active today? ADP was previous Wednesday? I'm not mql programmer but I think that ADP condition should be changed:

if((DayOfWeek()==3&&day1>=1&&day1<=8)||(DayOfWeek()==3&&day1==30))return(false);

into something like this:

if((DayOfWeek()==3&&day1>=1&&day1<8)||(DayOfWeek()==3&&day1>=30))return(false);

because ADP could be from 30th in month till 7th (never 8th).

 

PS. Keep up the great work. Very much appreciated!

 

Edit:There is also possibility that ADP could be released on Thursdays. Here is the calendar of next releases:

I am setting up demos at gomarkets and fxopen today. OMG, this is a great ea. THANK YOU expat!

[fabfive]

Hey

 

I am using 1.5 with conservative setfile. Newsfilter On. I got around 2-4 Trades a day. Sometimes it seems like the EA is stuck and does not even plan any trades, so I restart the MT4 a few times and then it will work again.

 

Does anyone have a demo account he can show me to compare my trades of Indo 1.5 with conservative?

Do you get any errors in the Journal or under Experts? Further, what does the Chart Info of Indo Run Show?

Yeap, fixed in 1.4o. Switch "ApplyTradeContext" to false. See also the Change Log in the 2nd post.

Hi

using 1.4o and 1.5 with conservative set files from post 1, finding both versions seem to get stuck and dont trade after a while so I am restarting mt4 and that seems to kick start trades again.I am demo on alpari uk and if you do a visual backtest with 1.4o from 1st jan 2010 it only trades for first month then stalls ..no more trades..Is anybody else having the same problems..

 

if you disable MA filter it seems to continue trading

[expat1967]

HI Richdad.

1.4o opened limit at 1.5824. but deleted before it gets in to "sell"

 

can you guide me on how to extend the sell limit duration?

 

Limit Orders are not expiring. They are depending on the filter signals only. If none of the filter is triggered the limit orders will be placed and are active as long the filter is in that state. The limit orders gets deleted once a filter kicks in (e.g. due to news) and no order basket (sell/buy order) is open. You can check the filter status in the chart display accordingly.

Hi all! BIG HUGE thanx to expat that made this, i made a deposit of 97 dollars and account is now after 2 weeks of trading 418 dollars!! i will make a donation when i get my money from gomarket australia, by the way it seems like that broker works great with indorun, and use the 1.4 version all filters off.

 

keep up the great work!
