I'm not trading RAD but all others I am trading. My MyFxBook history isn't long enough to gain insight into this. Thought I'd throw this out there for those like me who prefer to trade less with higher quality signals/setups.
Well I have been trading it since Jan and I threw out anything but trend arrows. I will take trend/wave combo but those are rare. I found RAD trades to be worthless and waves pop too much. Waves look amazing if you refresh the chart but in real time...well you know.
I have tried a few ways such as turning every tick mode off so it only pops at candle close but on a H4 chart you can miss a LOT of pips in one candle time. I had been trading manual until this month because I saw how many trades I was missing.

First post in the Forum of Steve, I first want to thank profoundly Bob, Steve and all the other crazy guys to develop and make available HGI and HGD to ordinary traders that we are lost in CrapsT4 for many years .. .. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Come on, here we go ...

I'm testing HGB in M15, M30, H1 and H4 for a week now... :youknow: :youknow: :youknow:

My daily goal in M15 and M30 is 5% on each session, Sidney, London and NY

My daily goal in H1 was 10%, Sidney, London and NY set

I let turn H4 from Tuesday to Friday opening of NY.

While on demo accounts currently :-), I realized that the same configuration in both two different brokers demo accounts do not generate the same error messages ..

HGB runs perfectly on Global Prime demo account :party: , I can't say the same thing of other brokers ...
CrapsBrokers too ???? :arrrg: :arrrg: :arrrg:

Working with daily target of 5% or 10% get advantages and disadvantages, it ensures minimum benefits but it can miss a greater movement last Friday in M30 it took only 1 hour to reach 5%, while I dream of a trailing stop based on a Percent of Balance Target to follow a larger movement .....

Indications of Bob's templates are blocked, don't know why, someone get an idea?

Good weekend to all :!!: :!!: :!!:

Hi
Can someone explain me the function TrendMultiMiss100 ?
I probably missed the information somewhere ... :arrrg:

As I understood in HGB ea has been build for H4 TF, any multitrade will be open each 20 pips, anyway to change it if I use others TF ??? ( M15, M30, H1 actually ) :youknow:

Thanks :hi:

Ok I dont know if this has been seen on here or not but my EA wont take any trades now. I get this message with everything. Auto trade is on and nothing has changed in the EA. I can manually run the trade scripts just fine. Have you run across this Milanese?

Go to AUDCHF chart, press F7, go to common tab and check to see if "allow live trading" is ticked.

Latest version of crapperquotes does some weird shit sometimes and just turns it off when it feels like it...

EA has been stuck on GLOBAL PROFIT TARGET REACHED for two days and not trading. Anyone able to explain why? last trades were friday, so shouldn't it reset on new day and begin trading again? Any way to unstick it (other than platform restart)?

Thanks,

Hello Neocount,

I agree with you that wavies pops up too much, but if you notice in real time it mostly happens in the Asian session because there is no liquidity/volume, therefore no real direction, with some exceptions like the England parlament elections today or big news. That's why my trading hours are restricted to London/New York sessions and friday's close 1 hour before London ends, I mean closing all positions and shutting down HGB.

On the other hand, I disagree with your RAD point of view. For me they have been the best harvesters of green pips when you give them enough space to bread and limit them to 1 trade per RAD signal with a TP of 30 +/- pips. If you do multis almost always the last RAD's will make all the losses from the previous winners.

Hope this helps,

The only thing that I can think is to check your trading styles and also point the cursor to the little arrow that shows the trade and read the comment to see what's the origin of the trade. Another thing will be to close the EA and reload it again.

Hope this helps,
