Pairs Trading

Post by traveliron »

In the text box my very latest Simple Beast is indicating "Pairs trading: 0" when I actually have 3 pairs trading. Does anyone else have this problem or is it something I've done? It has indicated correctly up until the last download today.

Thanks - Chris

I downloaded the latest Simple Beast and loaded it on my Empty4. On my end, "Pairs trading" is displaying a correct value, 5 at the moment, on all of the updated charts. I haven't updated the charts that currently have open positions.

traveliron,

thanks for the alert. Currently, "Pairs Trading" is refreshed when the EA is trying to place an order. It's not a bug and does not affect the work of the EA, only affects is what you see on the chart. EA before take trade looks to GlobalVariables and there checks the number of pairs. In the next Hotfix I improve it so that what is displayed on the chart, it was exactly what EA see.

Hi Ribelo,

it's a pleasure to test your New Beast. But in the last version you have posted you have changed

extern double max.spread = 12;

Is this a Bug? It must be 120 ?

Also I don`t see any changes in the balance pair module.

Please, could you verify?. Thanks.

I have 4 digits broker, so I changed the spread from 120 to 12. It's not a bug, I'm testing your awareness :P

The only change in the balance module pair, is the change in the loop with "i = OrdersTotal ()" for i = OrdersTotal () -1. It's hard to find this change;)

I add myfxbook in firts post.

Warning!

CBI does not work with GlobalVariables. CBI also completely ignores the number of pairs of open, kind of par ... ignore everything. Steve wrote about it, and I missed it. In this way, I have 3 open trades on cad. A good idea is so off "trade on the CBI" at this moment, if someone like me, has a lot of currency pairs based on a small number of currencies.

Hi everyone, I've noticed a possible problem with TNB.

I had a white box auto calculated EURGBP sell open without a buy made at the same time, which I assume is correct with the Auto Calc Method (RSI I suppose ?)

However this trade has gone the wrong way and reached the magenta and placed what I would consider a recovery trade however the lot size is the same as the original trade ie 0.01

I would have expected a lot size double ie 0.02 as per the 1.2.6 recovery system.

Anyone else noticed a problem with recovery trade lot sizes in a similar situation or perhaps with an orphaned WB trade ?

Cheers

Hi Rascacio,

I think the EA is working as intended.
Read post 1. Only in the case of a whitebox trade, 1.1.2.4 is used for recovery.

@Ribelo
My problem with 50 pips SL came from CBI module.
Also add my warning CBI can open too many positions when it is activated.
I too shut it down completely now atm.
