Thank you, I believe line 807 has a small bug, it should check if the 3 level indicator is installed, not the HGI, right?SteveHopwood » Thu Jun 02, 2016 3:30 pm wrote:V 1h is in post 1. You do not need this update if you are not using Limit orders as well as Stop orders (AddLimitOrders input).
Dan pm'd me to say he was getting 'invalid stop' errors and the limit orders not being sent. I had got my '+' and '-' the wrong way around. So:
line 1821
price = Ask + (DistanceBetweenTrades / factor);
should be
price = Ask - (DistanceBetweenTrades / factor);
line 1833
price = Bid - (DistanceBetweenTrades / factor);
should be
price = Bid + (DistanceBetweenTrades / factor);

Line 807:
if (!indiExists( HGI_Name )
should be:
if (!indiExists( "3 Level" ))
This is in a section of code headed, "Dimwit checks" so you need not bother with the update if you are not an idiot.
Read the effing manual, ok?

Hi, could you please let me know if you are using stop and limits or just stop orders?Boulder » Wed Jun 01, 2016 2:29 pm wrote:Guys this thing is a machine;
One observation I'd like to make though; both terminals were returning these errors very rapidly
I suspect that these have got to do with the global take profit for all the trades in a single pair at the magenta middle line. Since price and even the orders have already traversed beyond the magenta line, a TP at that level can't be set of course (a SL on the other hand could). When I closed off the trades above everything was fine and dandy. However I wonder (wasn't near the terminals to follow the process unfortunately) as to how these orders have been placed that far a distance? My current trades on EURUSD and USDCHF have been laid out wonderfully, as can be witnessed below:
In any case, HGBnS sure seems to be a promising nifty thingy

sure until this point I used stop orders exclusively. I've ran into some technical problems but could neutralise the situation. The result as follows:
Now I've just set up a terminal OOTB apart from:
- - stop and limit orders
- all pairs except the NZD ones
- CSS off for this one in order to engage with more oportunities
- 0.01 per 1500 DollopOfCash (out of caution not to overtrade, might reduce this to 1 per 2000)
- 135 bars (as a comprise between 120 and 150 )
- TPs at the magenta middle line
- Tommaso's sAPBM set at 4% basket TP and a relaunch time of 2 hours
Good luck!

Thank you Boulder
My result is not same yours and not so great so far.
I would like to try with your set file.
Could you shear your set file (HGBnS and APTM) ?
Thanks in advance

Got no particular personal quarrel with kiwi just preserving some CPU for my dear old computers here
HGBnS does its thing perfectly well. In the screenshots below, orders have been sent out when market is below level 3:
I'm curious to see how these'll play out. Usually I'd wait for a sign of reversal (usually given by the HGI) to take countertrend trades. Considering that the market is, by virtue of the sixths indicator, positioned relatively low (in the lowest segment) laying out countertrend trades there makes sense indeed. It just feels nearly "unnatural" to trade without HGI's confirmation
Anyways will let the trades open over the weekend and see how things unfold next week. Have a good weekend !

Hi Boulder,
got those same trades as you... was thinking now if we have that kind of trade triggered by the semafor if it would be a good option to have hedging, both buy and sell stops sent just to have added comfort :

This was my results from the 31st of May. I closed all trades on Friday since it was in a nice profit and will start up the EA on Sunday again. Will see how the new week goes, looking very good so far. I am using OOTB settings with HGI_v 16.08 on the 4 hour charts. This is on a $3000 demo account. I have been running it on 24 currency pairs.
