50pips Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks for the feedback Jayman007. I had the EA running the entire day, but using 1.0 for the lot value, which resulted in a margin call after four positions at 50:1, so I changed the settings this evening. I thought that I had given it enough time to populate, as all of the numbers looked as they should on the chart, but maybe I didn't. You need to divide your lot size by 4 to replicate the 200-1 margin settings people talk about. Thats why u got margin called. So for every 5K base it off 0.5 lots on 200-1 margin..so in your case for every 5K lots of 0.12 should be maximum but under .1 is safer Chip4Pips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prattpot Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thank you 50pips for your generosity and sense of sharing. I noticed that many of the pairs have a false value set by default. Has anyone set these to true ? and do all the lot values have to be changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabfive Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey guys I attached the EA to USD JPY H1. I disabled every pair to false except for USDJPY and set lot size to 0.01 (Delta 350). Nonetheless the EA keeps trying to open positions on other pairs like EURUSD GPDUSD etc.. even though it is not attached on these charts and the pairs are on false. I even wrote it into the code and recompiled the EA. Was anyone experiencing the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because you disabled every other pair it may have created the discrepancy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabfive Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I tried with false and true.. I just tried it on my local computer and it works without a flaw.. on my VPS it has this problem. Must be system related..? I'll keep testing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabfive Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have to correct myself. Same problem on my local computer. Heres a screenshot which shows an open USDCHF trade with 1 Lot and the settings window with USDCHF disabled + the error window http://www.multiupload.com/PFIB5XMXLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabfive Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 All I know is that you attach EMA-USD to a 1 HR USDJPY chart. With the default settings it trades in a multi-currency fashion: trading all of those pairs mentioned within the parameters. I'm sure the true/false option for each currency pair is not an on/off switch to enable/disable that pair. The EA is a free share and meant to be used as is trading all of those pairs within the parameters. If you want to modify it to trade only "chosen pairs" then maybe that's something you should undertake for yourself. Find a programmer. Use it or lose it... it's a free share after all and one of the best EAs to ever be shared on this forum. Hey Tomi thanks for your answer! I didnt know that the EA is supposed to trade on multi currency pairs since 50pips said often enough that it is only meant for USD JPY! If so I do not need to change that and I will see how it trades this way. tomislav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disabled every pair to false except for USDJPY and set lot size to 0.01 (Delta 350). .......................................... I'm sorry for asking..but why would you want to do that? The ea was designed to trade all those pairs. Just attached it to usdjpy and it will trade on all the other 6 pairs too. Don't be greedy though. I started with 0.01 lot size and now I'm using 0.02 as my account already doubled :D This is the best ea that I'm running after 2 years searching :D:D:D Edited May 18, 2011 by forexfx metalriff, fabfive and tomislav 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us what your deposit was? Are you using default settings? Can anybody tell me what means inv_pair? Most of the pairs by input has "false" just USDJPY hat true. What does it tell me and how to set it up? Thx a lot for your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshear Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi guys I have been running this EA on demo with very good suceess. I loaded it now on live with very small lots but I find when it runs with other trades this messes up the closure of a basket of open orders. Is anyone else having issues running it with other EAs? Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff This has already been discussed at length Don't mix the EA with any other kind of trades...be it another EA or manual DON'T DO THAT edit: with most of the brokers you can have more than one account so open a subaccount, load it with as much money you want to risk with this EA and let it run there Edited May 18, 2011 by iwjw added some info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwjw Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi traders, just had an idea...did any1 of you notice this post: http://indo-investasi.com/showthread.php/2582-LiteForex.com?p=152386&viewfull=1#post152386 If I'm not totally wrong, they are giving out a $200 trading credit without prior funding So that would be a way to trade this puppy live without risking own money Don't know what there minlot is...should be 0.01 otherwise it won't work I think Take a look at it and leave your comment Don't know whether you simply didn't take notice of my earlier post or whatever... No comments so far As for me, I got a live account with $200 funded by SIG Minlot size is 0.01 and leverage 200... so this could work with several open orders Planning to go live with the EA latest beginning of next week Maybe prior to that I will try to understand the trading logic a little bit better to be able to see whether the EA is doing what it's supposed to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
