forexripper are you manually trading 10.2?

I am testing the EA but manually looking at the trades to know where would have I traded them. That is how I get these change requests.

It has opened Sells on GBPJPY, EURJPY, AUDJPY NZDJPY at the same time as per attached picture

Post 1 says: "This also means that you can switch from one tf to another on your chart without mucking up the bot's calculations."

But I've noticed the EA (& the indis it drew its code from) calculate the WOH using the current TF:

double wo = iMA(symbol,PERIOD_W1,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_OPEN,0);
double ma = iMA(symbol,0,1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,0);

So switching TFs WILL muck up the EA's calculations.

Shouldn't the ma calculation use H4, or D1, or one of the xxxTimeFrame inputs?

Yes , I already inform Steve of that

Did I do anything about it? Sounds like a daft question possibly, but I do have the occasional project happening here and there to divert my attention. Reading your post, I have no idea what you are talking about.

how can i get my nb problems sorted out? i have a standard download of v1y with all default settings except ecn, and i get very few trades, and almost all are in ranging zone, and they seem to go into a loss position with no stop in sight, so they grow in losses. i read here that there are several people using the auto-trading 10.2 ea and getting great results. i have no error messages either onscreen or in experts file. what have you successful traders done to start it up differently/correctly?

Depending on what tf you have been running the EA on, the posts that straddle yours might provide an explanation.

Setev need your help here pls. Thanks

You're right, this EA is the core.

3) D1/H4 trades do not have a set TP -> if Slope > 0.8 or <.8 yes. BE and Jumping SL are forced

2) WPC trades should be at crossing -> it is but yes it could be only with 1 pip. May be a delta pips parameter should be great

4) So far in last 5-6 trading days with this EA no BB trades. -> so am I. I will do backtest to see why

1) The SL on this EA is at next S/R level. -> You're right. I have do this in my own version. But SL/TP for trend are so far on weekly / monthly R/S 1 or R/S 2 depending volatility, that's a delta pips parameter would be inoperant. Your account will be blow out before That's the big thing to resolve for NB 10.2 EA I think. Backtest prove that.

Thanks.

3) Shouldn't we need one to protect ourselves on such trades?
2) WPC is not on cross. Please refer to my EU trade which got triggered when price touched pivot from bottom. In manual way of trading this I would wait to see price move above pivot and then come back down (which it did today). OR price hits pivot and fails to go above it. Those to me are sell areas.
4) Please let me know why?
1) We can use JSL for this purpose.

Pls note I am for now not using D1 trend trades. Also, I am trading all pairs in Bob's booklet.

Someone please give some attention to this EA and fix these issues. It really is hurting the testing and kind of now wasting time as it is not triggering trades and / or at right places and not protecting the account in proper way.[/quote]
