Happens with the single and multientries..

Did a quicklookup in the code, couldnt find it..yet.

?
I think I have found out the fact how these multiple trades happen. Below is my observation in the last 2 days :

I'm testing v 2h on H4 and in the last 2 days, I set MaxOverallTrades to 40. I also set the MaxMultiTrade for Trend, Rad and Wave to 5 and select pending trade. I observed that if let say there was a Rad signal, the EA would fire 5 multiple Rad pending trades and then it continued to fire 5 multiple Rad pending trades every 10 minutes, I guessed the Rad signal was still valid at that time. It would continue to do this every 10 minutes until the overall total pending trades 40 was met. Since all these pending trades are set at .00 lines, so when price reached them, multiple trades will be executed at the same price.

But why 10 minutes, I have no answer. May be the EA is coded to read the indicator every 10 minutes.

Therefore in the last two day when there was a clear trend for GBP etc, it was very profitable.

To reduce or stop these multiple pending orders, all one needs to do is to set the MaxOverallTrades to a smaller number or the same as the MaxMultiTrades.

I hope this help !

Cheers

The reason for the 10 minutes is the 'PostTradeAttemptWaitSeconds' function of HGB which is set to 600 seconds ootb.

Concerning the MaxOverallTrades ... mine is set to '5' and I get more than just 5 of these multiple (same pricelevel) pendings. So ... I assume that's not the solution for this problem.

It's fun running on a VPS as I can run a terminal app on my ipad and have full Empty4 access with EAs and all on the Ipad from anywhere. It's not perfect but it works very well.

Paul.
neat! what's the app called?


The app is called RD Client and is put out by Microsoft.

Pretty cool. When controlling the VPS server, it's almost like having Windows on your iPad. (Not sure if that's a good thing or not... :| )

Any ideas why HGB didn't fire pending orders after the buy arrow appeared?

No problems with trend trades on other pairs - Same setfile and no dailyprofit restrictions.

Have a nice weekend!

The EA rapports no trend arrow in the on-screen feedback.

Do you have the same version HGI on chart as used in the EA?

Use 15.06 instead of 15.08 (read tommaso's posts IYP) Cheers

Thanks for your reply, Gertje and fxpoison!
Exactly, same HGI version on the chart as in the EA settings.

@15.08
I read his post and didn't go back to 15.06 because I had no problems with other pairs, just realized that something went wrong with NZDCHF. However, if 15.08 is the problem i will go back to 15.06 for next week.
