jiva34's BB Stop auto-trader

[jiva34]

Am requesting Steve to change the exit algorithm. Instead of exiting on an opposite signal. Exit would be when candle closes on opposite side of the fast bbstop..
This is a trade in progress from Europe session. (manual trade)

I suspect Steve's working on TIB, so I thought I'd jump in.

Attached is a version that should do what you ask. I have added the setting:

Code: Select all

extern bool    CloseTradeOnFastTrendChange=true;

along with code to handle it (it was really just a copy and paste of the code that was in place for closing on the slow trend change).

I've run it in ST and it is certainly looks like it is working. Here is today's trade:

Got the following error:

Code: Select all

2011.12.06 08:29:50	Jiva's BB Stop Auto-trader FTM EURUSD,M1: object name passed to ObjectType function cannot be an uninitialized or empty string

Is it something I should worry about?

It probably just means that the daily open line isn't on the chart yet. There is a check in the code to see if that line is in the right place and you'll see that error if there is no line at all.

Hi Jiva
Any chance of doing a template please.

Jiva - i wanted to test various settings before next market open and have two questions:
1) what could "2011.12.10 22:43:59 2011.11.01 17:45 jiva's BB Stop auto-trader - FastTrendMod EURUSDm,M1: object name passed to ObjectType function cannot be an uninitialized or empty string" error mean while backtesting?
2) is it normal, that it takes a hell load of time to back test this EA (im using DC tick data)?

Best regards!


EDIT: backtest finished - ive narrowed it two the last two weeks - EurUsd M1, def. settings during london session:

Might I suggest one more option? A "max open trades" function.

In conjunction with the "dont close on opposite signal", this could provide for some excellent stacking. I just think the max trades will help it stay in control. Let me know what you think.
