FirstStrike Plus – Weekly Volatility Breakout

[milanese]

Does close all EA positions if Profit reaches CloseAllOfPairInProfit = 55$ mean
when a single Pair reaches its target of 55$
- a. Pairs not in profit are not closed? or
- b. All pairs are closed?
Thanks for clarifying.

as it is a single Pair EA these settings are only for a single pair, as in prior posts mentioned.
AGT uses the bot together with the SAPBTM, for having the possibility to close all open positions of different pairs together and deactivate after this for the rest of the week the bots.

Third my wish-list
FirstStrike or SAPBM offers an option to activate the EA on market opening (Monday).
FirstStrike offers the option to define BE, JS and BEProfit as VolaMultiplicator variables.

I really am looking forward to what you will come up with
Mike

SAPBTM offers time dipended activating of the EA trading in the latest version, maybe I will add in a further update here the otion to select a specific day.
about the vola dependend moving SL in win options I will think about it for a next update, this could be at the moment realised with the APTM easy and the exsiting version, as APTM offers all ATR possibilities for managing trades, second the pair vola

Cheers

Now I read it the following way:
Close all EA positions if Profit reaches CloseAllOfPairInProfit = 55$ means when a specific Pair reaches its target of 55$ all trades of this specific pair are closed. All other trades are left open.

Thanks for the hint at APTM, Mike

update may 23, 2015
As requested the FS-EA has new the possibility to use the volatilty for the SL movements in win
here are some new inputs to find:

Code: Select all

extern string   atrSet="---setting ATR calc for true overrides SLMinDistanceToPrice value----";
extern bool    useATRForSLMinDistanceToPrice=true;
extern int     atrForSLMinDistanceToPriceTF=PERIOD_H4;
extern double  atrMultiplicatorForSLMinDistanceToPrice=1.1;
extern int     atrPeriodForSLMinDistanceToPrice=14;
extern double  SLMinDistanceToPrice=45;

Note: OOTB ATR automatic calculations are used.
I recommend to use 0.01 lot per USD 1000 free equity on account, not more
If you use the FS-EA on more than one pair the SAPBTM can be very usefull you find this TM there ---click-->

As always the update can be found at the bottom of the first post, if you are new here take the time to read the entire topic, for understanding the EA better...

I posted the settings in the "portfolio" - see link in the bottom.

Made some remarks about the test results there in the last post.

Hi Milanese, hi AGT

this bot works amazingly and I wonder how it will behave in flat markets. AGT, your tests and your and other members generous sharing setfiles are a gift.
Thanks

Actually (this morning) e.g. AUDJPY does not show the pending lines and I try to understand why: I suppose the minVolaLastWeek is smaller than my setting (=130), but I do not really know.

Just 2 wishes:
Would it be possible to show the VolaLastWeak in Pips in the UserInfo? Even more useful would be a look back at the last 5 to 7 VolaLastWeak values like VLW1 134; VLW2 118; VLW3 145; VLW4 150; VLW5 178 where VLW1 stands for last week, VLW2 stands for 2 weeks ago etc.
I already feel embarrassed to have another wish, but ... Would it be possible to allow gold, silver and what do I know trading? (For me gold would be enough but the calculation does not work.)

Have a good week
Mike

You should be able to let it run under gold, about the AUDJPY yes if the lastweek vola was not high enough the bot sets no pendings...
about your wish for the info in the user display for the actual VolaLastWeak I will add this with the next update, I don't think that I will add the week before ecc infos.. as for this it would be better to use a seperat indicator...

Cheers

I am not sure about gold: broker GP. This morning I have this trade opened by FirstStrike and when I found it I closed it manually
2015.06.01 04:29:32 sell 0.25 xauusd 1189.71 1205.22 0.00 2015.06.01 10:10:09 1188.58
The VolaLastWeak values are[color=#FF0000] 1176.78 - 1205.77[/color] with an actual spread = 14
Could it be that the chart's timeframe (erroneously H1) causes this behavior?
Thanks Mike

yes that would be imo for XAU correct. as here 10 cent = 1 pip , the TF you set the EA not influences it's working..
Edit: But be aware that you attach the EA in case of XAU, XAG ecc. only after the market open for this symbol to the chart, as it will take in that special cases only than the values for the actual week.
