In the meantime, check your inputs and don't automatically assume there is a fault in the coding; I am finding increasingly these days that it is something the user is buggering up that causes problems.

As I have occasionally remarked in the past, "It dunt wurk" posts are useless and annoy me. Enable snapshots and post a pic of it nut wurking and I will take a tad more notice.

Hi Steve

Here is an example of a Trend Trade (Sell) that has a 'CT' comment.

I am still on SB (1f) trading H1 with MAperiod=0

Kind regards Rapple
Cheers rap. At least the bot took the trade in the right direction. I will look into it. There will just be some tiny thingy somewhere that prevents the correct trading comment being sent. I am not willing to spend a lot of time on this, which has emerged since I enabled Bob's H4 240 MA filter - something I am starting to regret. If it proves troublesome, I will simply remove it.

No problem Steve,

Yes I agree the EA is working really nicely. I noted that Bob has upgraded to his indi to V8. This allows CT trading to be turned on or off in the indi itself. You can also remove the alerts. There is an expiry date on the indi however.

Thanks again for all your assistance. I have been really impressed how the EA has kept the DD to a minimum when trading conditions are not ideal....looking forward to another one of those Fridays we saw last week

Cheers Rap

V 1h is in post 1. The downside of not allowing trading on the same candle as a trade just closed is that it stops the always-in feature from working, so I have removed it.

If you are using the global close feature of mptm, be prepared for some instant trade re-entries. There is no way around this, so I have started work on a multi-pair trader. It is a bugger to do the conversion and may take some time.

I have deleted the latest deadwood from here and reopened the thread. In future, I shall simply delete idiotic posts.

I made good progress with the multi-pair version - probably because I was not constantly being dragged away to read drivel posted by dimwits too lazy and stupid to do the basic reading. We might have it to play with in time for the markets to open on Sunday night. No guarantees, because I have a couple of new features planned and this stuff is complicated.

V 1i is in post 1. The change is merely cosmetic and addresses those occasions when the trade comment reads 'CT' when it should read 'Trend'.

To make the change yourselves, go to line 1370 and replace:
if (SecretTradeStatus == trendbuy)

with

if (SecretTradeStatus == trendbuy || SecretTradeStatus == trendsell)

Hi Steve,

Thanks for re-opening this thread.
Is it an option to add CSS to the list of features? (I looked, and couldn't find it in the code)
I noticed that those CT-trades are causing most of the DD/ negative closures.

Thanks again,
Gertjan

Not yet, no. CSS was not part of the original SB single trader or part of the Once a Day code that I have adapted for the multi-trader. I never found CSS useful, so adding it here is a long way down my list of priorities.

Using SB LIVE on 20pairs + Zeljko=True +EveryTickMode=false & MPBM adaptivePipTP of 7, All would be ok if it wasn't for GBPNZD; which had a wild 500pips swing within the last few days.

My SB on DEMO also based on same setup as above:

You might want to rethink your EveryTickMode in light of earlier comments about the indi repainting following a chart tf change and my explanation of what happens. EveryTickMode is irrelevant and will be removed from the multi-pair trader.
