Zennor's Piproid

Post by **plateman** » Sun May 17, 2015 9:54 am

I'm doing OK with this bot, but there have been a couple of hiccups resulting in losses. A couple of times the platform has frozen and I have had to shut it down with the task manager. When the platform is restarted the open trades are there but the pendings are deleted. This is when Sods Law comes into effect and the preserved open trades turn out to be losers and the disappeared pending trades are not there to bring the basket into profit and closure. If this happens to you I would monitor the situation closely, otherwise I don't know whether it would be possible to preserve the pendings in the event of a platform closure.

As I recall, Barry did not want pending trades deleted if there is a market order open and the trend is no longer in favour of the trades, because of the number of times it would change back again.

I have added a new input to allow you to change this behaviour. From post 1:

CloseMarketTradesOnTrendChange: ZP has always deleted pending trades when the trend is no longer in favour of the pending trades, but left any open market orders in place. The input tells ZP to also close market trades if it is enabled.

When reviewing some of the accounts shared here it looks like the ZP is doing fine. Even on this week that was bad with PPoS.

Hi everybody,

I hope you are all doing well with your Zennor trading.

I would like to ask for your opinion. After testing it on demo with good results I opened live account with 1000 and OOTB settings and global closure 1%. Maybe it was premature and I should have waited 2-3 more months before opening real account. Anyway what happened that when I started on 12/05 it went south and my account lost 30% so far and is in heavy loss. I dont know what went wrong , I use the same settings on my live account I used on demo account. I didn't change anything. I didn't not have an access to my computer last week and today when I opened my account was welcomed with unpleasant surprise. I am fully aware that even automatic system need some level of attention and I am not blaming the system, only trying to find explanation why this happened.
I noticed some trades were open for 5-7 days on my account. I am thinking about some issue with closing trades or canceling open orders.
I am very hesitant to post it here because some people can call me idiot but all I would like to achieve is to hear some feedback from smart traders here and constructive criticism.
I am learning from my mistakes and kind people on forums like this.

Very usefull info, thanks!

I have 3 accounts with this robot and the only that made a profit last week was the one that don't use SL or TP in the EA settings and leave the basket manager to close all the trades.

Being so new to this forum, I wonder if we can make a new thread where store the information (settings and links to account) about all our forward tests with this excellent EA

You are right man !
Altough such threads already exist some data about settings + results are shared still in other threads as well.

For instance we have these onces:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =91&t=4087
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =91&t=4096

But to tell the truth, in these two threads isn't much activity the last time.

@Kennard - you posted the wrong links to your MFXB accounts ! Its impossible to open them ! So, plz have look perhaps ....

Post by **AltosT** » Mon May 25, 2015 7:37 pm

@ Kennard - AGT is correct. You have posted your private, own account links. We cannot access those. You need to post the public links - but, real is always different to demo.
