The 100,000 pips SPB Challenge

Post by cptcherry »

Hi all,
are we coordinating testing parameters in a shared repo, or just a free for all? i.e. : https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/FXT-SPB-1
noting that it doesn't mention v3 which is the version in post 1.

Happy to share on fxtestify, FYI (all) the help page here tells you how to connect your account: https://fxtestify.com/testers

If the EA is opening many trades, more than what brokers can handle, what is the current thinking on how to manage this?
Split accounts by pairs?

Good question. I will set something up

Change broker. 250 open trades is the minimum for this setup to work.

No. I recommend 10.000. You will most probably blow your account otherwise.

Cheers

I've loaded the EA, but I get the following order send failure messages:

2019.01.14 15:41:38.612 FXT-SPB-3 EURUSD,M5: AUDUSD FXT-SPB-3 OP_BUYSTOP order send failed with error(130): invalid stops
2019.01.14 15:41:38.612 FXT-SPB-3 EURUSD,M5: Alert: AUDUSD Buy stop: Lots 0.01: Price 30.0: Ask 0.0
2019.01.14 15:41:38.612 FXT-SPB-3 EURUSD,M5: Alert: AUDUSD FXT-SPB-3 order send failed with error(0): no error

I'm using default settings at the moment.

What broker?
The "130" error indicates a too small stopdistance.

ICMarkets. I don't believe they have a minimum stop distance; just placed a pending with a 1point stop.

Try setting IsGlobalPrimeOrECNCriminal=true.

Looks to me like you are a dimwit heading for a ban.

This is my once and only warning to you. I think you are a cretin.

I read every post here at SHF. Nothing escapes my attention. You are annoying me. Do so again andI will ban you. I have already removed your automatic posting rights.
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. [email protected] is the account.
