Hi,

I'm live now and experiencing a big DD as everyone but waiting for a retrace. I was looking at some charts.
I noticed some orders near the historical max or min. My biggest loss now is EJ buy at 1.481. But I see also a sell on GU at 1.561. I think that it's quite difficult that these orders will turn in green. Do you think that it's possible to limit these orders?

Closed all trades manually. Since I must have a US based broker, hedging trades are not allowed. Have received literally hundreds of alerts about not being able to enter hedging trades were received over the past several days. Can we assume that the EA will not perform as designed because broker rules will not allow hedging trades? The demo account lost 25% of value since Monday. May have to move on if US anti-hedging rules make this impossible. Thoughts and comments please.

Not live luckily.. 6000.3 pips is the current loss.
Can it ever recover from that? And how long would it take?
My Cash profit target is £20 and at a current monetary loss of £370 thats 19 basket wins to break even..lol

Maybe we can put SL at the cross level to avoid big DD for small accounts ?

Ok, so week 2 is over, here are the new values in comparison to week 1. As you can see, we still need many more trades to get good settings.

V 1o is in post 1.

Our invaluable KapguHaJI worked out what was preventing SBB from working correctly when multiple instances are hosted on the same platform. Also there was a fault in one of the functions that has not caused difficulty yet, but might do in the future.

Those of you who want to make the fixes yourselves:
Go to line 1710 and replace
for(int cc=OpenTrades-1; cc>=0; cc--)
with
for(int cc=OrdersTotal()-1; cc>=0; cc--)

Then go to line 1204 and copy this over the top of the entire function.

Code: Select all

void InsertTakeProfit(int ticket, int type)
{
   //Inserts a missing take profit 
   
   if (!OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES) )
      return;
   
   double take = 0;
     
   
   if (type == OP_BUY)
      take = CalculateTakeProfit(OP_BUY, OrderOpenPrice());
   else
      take = CalculateTakeProfit(OP_SELL, OrderOpenPrice());
   
   if (CloseEnough(take, 0))  
      return;
   
   bool result = OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), OrderStopLoss(), take, OrderExpiration(), clrNONE);   

}//End void InsertTakeProfit(int ticket, int type)

H4 yes. ootb no. I attach my setfile.

Bear in mind that I am not a fan of using other peoples' setfiles and was only persuaded out of banning their publishing altogether by cogent argument against by highly respected members here. Use it only if you are too dim to work out your own settings - and at your peril for the same reason.
