Bump this up, so no one knows about using ADR with the Multi Trades as per previous post?

Also there is this warning when using the EA

Any suggestion?

Thanks, John

I will take a guess and suggest that your ADR position size for the multi trade was less than the required minimum lot size?

OK, thanks, I will increase % and re-test on market rollover in about 15 minutes

Thanks

No luck there, reduced the ATR Stop Loss to 0.5 and increased the Multi Trades to 1% same as Main Trade

So seems the EA does not read the ATR setting for the Multi Trade, anyone else test this method of placing Stop Loss / Take Profit for Multi Trades?

If it's not broke don't fix it, but if it is broke ????

I only use the ADR settings for the main trades - multi trades are left OOTB

Never suggest again that it might be if you value your membership here - not even in a dummies thread. Merely posting in a dummies thread does not protect you from my ire when suggesting that my coding is wrong from a standpoint of total ignorance on your part.

Instead, learn the difference between Main Trades and Multi-Trades. You do not understand it? Fine. Ask here. Just do not suggest even for an instant that your lack of understanding is caused by a fault in my code. You will not enjoy the result of doing so a second time.

Capiche?

Yes Steve, I do capiche

And yes I am trying to learn the difference between Multi Trade and Main Trade settings.

And yes, I guess I don't understand, hence I have posted here and asked about them

I even posted all my settings in a picture; yet no response to point out where the settings are wrong

I'm trying to use this as I would on a live account, not just as 0.01 trades to be the first to 5,000 pips

So what more or how can I ask any better?

Do the Multi Trades work off the ATR setting?

If so, what & where is the proper setting?

Thanks very much, John

I'll risk being burnt alive by bringing up a topic I know is certainly not the favorite here, but after reading the PM, PPoS and this thread I still can't find an answer that really clears my doubts:

- Steve in his first post of the guide tells to "look at the wall" (Therefore, local time), and set up trading times 10 minute after the broker's daily candle open
---HOWEVER----
Very most recent posts and discussion here, as well as the input parameter itself, tells us to set up the trading times after the daily candle open on the BROKER'S time. (And it's set at 0.10, so I understand it's 10 minutes past 00, which I guess should be MOST of the brokers open time, right??)

Can someone please kindly confirm finally which one is it? I think it'll be great for noobs aside myself having this very specific clarification

Also, I'm trying to get my head around how this input will exactly affect the behaviour.

- If I want to trade W1,D1,H4, how should I trade this, then??
Mr Zennor in his trade leaves this input blank but I want to reflect the Original PPOs, just on a shorter timeframe. Could the experts please tell me how to emulate this?

Thanks for the help

Diego

Not gonna burn my fingers on the first part, but I can give you an answer to your last question. If you want to reflect the original PP trading time wise you would need to set the trading timeframes for every 4 hours. So 00.10-00.25, 04.10-04.25 etc. Please use the correct format with the + and - otherwise it will not work.
