EA's inspired by nanningbob's work here, especially those based on his 240 Moving Average trend detection filter.

Hi ,

I seem to have difficulties setting up ATR TP in holly graily.
I use Daily ATR x3 (period 20), but for some reason the results are not what I would expect.
For instance GBPUSD currently has an ATR(20) of 164.8, thus I would expect a x3 ATR value of 494.4, but I get 269.6


Does anyone know what I doing wrong here?

Is your AtrTimeFrame set up correctly?

Read the effing manual, ok?

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

What does it mean when all the yellow EA info is no longer on screen and it says "GLOBAL PROFIT TARGET REACHED" on top left of chart? Does it mean Basket EA closed out everything because goal was reached? How do you reset/override to start trading again?

Thanks!

Go into Holy Graily EA and change your closure settings . In particular look for the section highlighted below as this might be the reason for your closure. (Change it to 0)

This can also happen if your are using MPTM and you've set up a similar function in it (basket ar global closure)

Thanks Matt,

I'm wondering if it's the individual EA setting an a single pair, because when it happens, it occurs on all pairs at the same time. So want to confirm if it's caused by the HGB Basket Manager (seems like that's the only thing that would do it, but want expert confirmation - and want to know how to override it... hmmm now I'm hearing Steve in my head... RTFM!! I'll be back...)

ok, so read manual, not seeing anything that says Basket Manager give this message. It's still on my charts and EA is not trading after this week's open (no trades placed that would have reached global profit target). Any advice on how to reset so trading would start?
