Also DING, I just realised that your name was still showing its original pristine colour. Many apologies. I has changed to a much more appropriate colour now.

I just set up the latest version of the EA on a new demo account. I got a buy NZD/CHF D1 trend trade. However, it opened 6 positions immediately. Anyone else having this occur?

You must run Matt's force history download script when starting a new account; live or demo makes no difference. Fail to do so and you leave yourself open to this. Nothing else I or anyone else can do about it if you ignore this advice. Link in post 1 of all my recent threads.

My experience was that Matt's script was not sufficient. Starting with a cleared-out history, it only loaded about 12 bars of H4 data, and not nearly enough D1 to be useful. I had to manually step through every symbol and hold down HOME to force it to load enough data.

Thanks Steve. I had forgotten about that tidbit. I am packing to fly back to Canada for a two week visit and the light bulb in my head did not go off when the trades fired.

This is something that Craig recommends we do on every chart and every time frame. Bit of a faff, but it is guaranteed to fill the history.

Do you think it is necessary to do it on all tf's?

[garyfritz]

All tf's you care about. It only fills the tf you actually have on the chart when you sit there holding HOME.

I found a script that purported to convert M1 data into all higher tf's. I thought I might import TS-generated M1 data and then use the script to propagate that known-good data to M5, M15, M30, etc. Sadly it didn't seem to work reliably.

Hi all,

I've been reading and trying for a while - this is my first post.
Absolutely fantastic work going on here - where you all get the time is beyond me.

Anyway thanks

I've loaded NB10.2 EA V2b onto EURNZD H1 chart (demo). Lot 0.02 other ootb.

It has placed 6 sell trades for EURNZD

Lets see what happens

it appears that the BE and JS functions are either not working correctly or I do not have them configured correctly for my broker.. i am attaching a pic of my demo account. can someone shed some light for me please? when i try to move them manually, the SL moves back to the current position.

[patman]

Seems like BE 25 + 10 is 25 points not pips (5digit Alpari NZ)
It did partial close at 25 points then couldn't move the SL
(.01 partial close .01 retained)
