Hopelessly confused by TDesk or Desky? Ask here.

Are you sending an immediate market trade as well as your grid of 1? Desky sends the trade and then the grid of stop orders.

No immediate market order this is off.

I will look into it.

Hello All,

I trade Leon's strategy using basket. I close the basket around 1000 pips in profit and let Desky run again.

Sometimes I want to stop trading (deactivate Desky) when TP is hit - how do I set that??

Best Regards
Jan

You cannot at the moment. I will add this feature.

Thank you for the update and new feature - it is a great help.

I have 3 loosing trades if you notice they were placed evenly at 5 apart as per the grid setting, two fairly close in time and the other some time later. As I said I have complex offesetting turned on so could this be a result of that? I dont want you wasting time trying to fix something that is normal behaviour. As an experiment I will reset and turn offsetting off.

Update I now have 9 EURNZD trades all equally spaced apart with a grid of 1 and spacing 5 Recovery OFF Offsetting OFF. I dont think now it is a settings issue and I think this only started with version p of Desky if that helps.

You must be the only person here experimenting with a grid size of 1. That is not a grid - it is a trade. Try using the option to send a pending order rather than a grid of one trade, and see what happens.

will see what happens Wavegarrick pointed me in the grid trading direction here http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... id#p165073 will report back

You can seen from the code that the enum in infinitely expandable e.g.

Code: Select all

{
   Buy_stop,
   Buy_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_buy_limit,
   Sell_Stop,
   Sell_limit,
   Sell_stop_and_sell_limit,
   Buy_stop_and_sell_stop
};

Then all that is needed is to add code to work with the extra choices.

Would you like this?

Been looking back through the old posts and dont know how I missed this kind offer or I didnt understand it at the time

Yes if could you could kindly add Buy_stop_and_sell_stop as an option I think it will do exactly what I want

Code: Select all

if (TypeOfPendingTrade == Buy_stop_and_sell_stop)
                        {
                           result = LookForTradingOpportunities(symbol, pairIndex, OP_BUYSTOP);
                           
                           Sleep(5000);//Give the platform time to catch up
                           
                           result = LookForTradingOpportunities(symbol, pairIndex, OP_SELLSTOP);
                        }//if (TypeOfPendingTrade == Buy_stop_and_sell_stop)

Would this be correct?

I tried the above code and its working up to a point and placing 1 Sell Stop pending order when Desky recieves a Sell signal which is perfect. However I also need it alternatively to place 1 Buy Stop pending order when Desky recieves a Buy signal which it doesnt.
