Tommaso,
:
Does SAPTM have a Basket jumping stop with a percentage setting?
I have been looking over the settings and did not see any mention of it. If it has could you point it out please as i am hopping to use MPTM to manage a "basket jumping stop" set as a percentage and not as a dollar or pip number.

Cheers Les

I see the Stochastic inputs are missing or am I missing some brain cells?

I adapted the wrong version - I did wonder why we were suddenly up to such a high version number.

V 1b with both Stoch and the update is in post 1.

Not a good week for my Zennor Piproid trades (ignore the $ as one of my demos is $50K instead of $10K, and all just since 4/29):

Capture1.PNG

In trying to analyze why so bad, I see that pendings remain open even when the Piproid screen is showing "Mixed trend. Chill out and wait". I see in the code, if my very novice coding abilities are reading it right, that CountOpenTrades calls LookforClose for every open trade and that if ordertype is any type of buy or sell, including pendings, the pendings are to be deleted, using the variable 'ticket'.

I'm in the US, and to get the hidden SL-TP to work with the multi's (so my broker doesn't set all TP's and SL's to the TP and SL of the last trade put on) I had to substitute OrderTIcket() for TicketNo in the DrawPendingPriceLines function, but I cant puzzle out if perhaps that's whats going on here- it's beyond my abilities

Anyone have any insight here? Without screaming at me for trying to figure out the code and probably being all wrong?

It's normal, according to the code of LookForTradeClosure() function : see the extracted code bellow.

Code: Select all

   //Extracted from LookForTradeClosure() :

   //Pending orders
   if (OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType() == OP_BUYLIMIT)
      if (Trend != uptrend)
         if (!BuyOpen)
            DeleteThisTrade = true;
         
   if (OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP || OrderType() == OP_SELLLIMIT)
      if (Trend != downtrend)
         if (!SellOpen)
            DeleteThisTrade = true;
   
   if (DeleteThisTrade)
   ...etc

According to this code, when the trend has changed, pendings are not allways deleted.

A pending BUY is deleted if and only if there is no active BUY (same for SELLs).

If you want to allways force deletion of pending trades after a trend change, make the following changes in the code bellow (in LookForTradeClosure() function) :

Code: Select all

   //Extracted from LookForTradeClosure() :

   //Pending orders
   if (OrderType() == OP_BUYSTOP || OrderType() == OP_BUYLIMIT)
      if (Trend != uptrend)
         // if (!BuyOpen)   line of code commented out
            DeleteThisTrade = true;
         
   if (OrderType() == OP_SELLSTOP || OrderType() == OP_SELLLIMIT)
      if (Trend != downtrend)
         // if (!SellOpen)   line of code commented out
            DeleteThisTrade = true;
   
   if (DeleteThisTrade)
   ...etc

But don't forget this : there should be a good reason for the current functioning code, so may be it's better to ask Steve if it's a good idea or not to make this change ...

Cheers,
Didier

Well, that's certainly a simple fix- thank you VERY MUCH!!

I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not ... but it will do what you want !

Hi all

Looking at the User Guide, the different sets and my results I have started to check and recheck the user Guide and some questions have come up. Thanks for any comments.
1. What are the settings of “DaysVarious” if I want to refer to let’s say the last 36h.
2. Unlike PP and PPoS the ATR-multipliers are applicable for Main Trades and Multi Trades. Right?
3. Does setting AtrPeriod = 20, AtrTpMultiplier = 2.5 and AtrSlMultiplier=0
_____a. overwrite “MainTradeTakeProfitPips = 0 ”?
_____b. leave “MainTradeStopLossPips = 125” unchanged or set no SL at all?
_____c. Overwrite “MultiTakeProfitPips=30” or leave it unchanged?
_____d. Leave “MultiStopLossPips= 50” unchanged or set no SL at all?
4. Suppose I want to start trading 8 hours after market opening, in my case Monday 08.00 and continue all through Friday 16.00. Is there a way to set Trading hours to do this?

Has anybody varied DaysVarious=5 ootb?

Thanks Mike

PS: With woodlands setting I had an unbelievable start and am now -12% under my initial balance.
