Is anyone else getting this error? (ver. 1i):
<<Peaky on Steroids EURUSD,M1: array out of range in 'Peaky on Steroids.mq4' (1364,30) >>

Thank you. All clear now

M5 closed at TP and now another open, H1 has been in and out of profit but is the positive swap side

Hi Steve,

Due to some private stuff I have been away for a while.
Last monday I found the urge and the time to come to SHF again, and boy did I find a surprise.

I spend a few good hours reading, and installed PoS on a demo to get up to speed with things.
It's a piece of art, attached a picture of NZDJPY M5 , raking in the pips while ranging and waiting for the higher TF's to move.
Beautifull!!

I love this toy, it's for sure your best ever!

LotsPerDollopOfCash doesnt work proper, it always gives 1.00 lots

nice EA though

edit:
weird, tried another demo, and it works perfect
i also have a problem with rollover, some charts stick into rollover after 00:15
prolly a problem with my setup too
sorry steve, im not questioning your coding skills, it is awsome
i like this forum very much, dont want to lose membership

Think twice before accusing code of not working, that has worked flawlessly and seamlessly for years. It tends to irritate the coder, who can occasionally allow his irritation to show.

Assume you are doing something wrong instead, then your membership might survive your next post.

Hi Guys

First thanks steve for this revolutionary EA concept

When you setup the EA and receive errors like this one

[Symbol] Peaky on Steroids OP_BUYSTOP order send failed with error(130): invalid stops TF=M15: bid=0 Price=xx

Simply add the [symbol] to the market watch Empty4 panel and the errors will be gone might be obvious but it took me some times to figure it out.

Thinking about the option to only trade pairs with +swaps while the holding costs are reduce wouldn't it at the same time increase the global exposure in a specific currency?

Happy PoS

A point I made in the Peaky thread a couple of days ago was this: Peaky is an accurate automation of the successful manual coding strategy that I started to develop back in February. PoS is an accurate representation of the basics that I explained in the User Guide applied to a multi-pair, multi time frame EA. Whatever you think, whatever idea you come up with, remember that I am months ahead of you and assume that I have already thought of it.

If an individual currency strengthens, then all the pairs with that currency as the first of the pair will rise. Pairs with that currency as the second part of the pair will fall. Unless you limit the number of pairs that PoS is able to trade as ruthlessly as I do, then you will find yourself horribly exposed to an individual currency. An exposure that can last for weeks and weeks.

Trust me to be speaking the truth in this next sentence. You really, really do not want to be selling a high negative swap pair whilst shooting for a minimal (i.e. one Sixth) take profit when the pair is in reality heading hot foot for a new peak high on a higher time frame before 'eventually' arrives after quite a lot of time has elapsed.

Guess how I know?

Yes, makes all great sense. Thanks for sharing your experience
