MPTM's new home

[SteveHopwood]

I just started tinkering with MPTM and I have a 5 digit criminal. Should MPTM automatically adjust to working with 5 digits?

Thanks

Yes. For crying out loud, do you really think I am such a total tit as not to have accommodated this? Thanks.

Tell you what. Ask around and find out what I can do here.

Get a grip fella and do not insult me with such a childish enquiry again or your will find that you no longer have the ability to post such a stupid enquiry.

I'm having a problem with MPTM stopping out trades immediately after the orders are placed. I recently put on a sell trade with a SL 35 pips away from the entry price. However, every time I tried to place the trade, MPTM would stop it out instantaneously. I had two buy trades set up with similar stop losses and they were executed without any problems.

If anyone can enlighten me as to what I may be doing wrong, please do not hesitate.

Making sure the EA was loaded stopped that from happening to me. Save then load.

... how can I define more than one ticket number?...Mike

... You can apply mptm to manage one ticket number only. ...

Thanks ... so, ome mptm instance per ticket number, unless I use Magic numbers or Comments. Thanks Mike

Hallo peeps,

Quick question: must I have BreakEven=1 in order to use Trailing Stop or Jumping Stop?

My scenario: I want MPTM to immediately start trailing price by 13pips once my order is triggered
Does the below cover it?

TSL=Trailing stop loss settings
TrailingStop=1
UseStandardTrail=1
TrailingStopPips=13
UseCandlestickTrail=0
CandlestickTrailTimeFrame=60
CandleShift=1
HideTrailingStop=0
PipsAwayFromVisualTS=0
TrailAfterBreakevenOnly=0
StopTrailAtPipsProfit=0
StopTrailPips=0

Thanks!

A heads-up for those of you who have not seen this that I just added to post 1:

There are basket management features in MPTM, but Baluda has created a dedicated Multi-Purpose Basket Manager. Find it at viewtopic.php?p=16112#p16112

Thank you Steve, christmas came early for me,
Magnificent TradeManager. !

A quick question if you dont mind, going to the old issue of "GOLD" and SILVER" as opposed to "XAU" and "XAG".

Code: Select all

 {
     double Pipfactor=10000;         // correct factor for most pairs
	  if (StringFind(pair,"JPY",0) != -1 || StringFind(pair,"XAG",0) != -1) 
		      Pipfactor = 100;      // if jpy or silver
	  if (StringFind(pair,"XAU",0) != -1) 
            Pipfactor = 10;       // if gold
   return (Pipfactor);
  }

All we have to do is change this bit of code from XAG, XAU to SILVER, GOLD respectively, if our criminal uses SILVER and GOLD, right?

Thank you, and wishing you and wifey a very merry and blessed xmas week.

I don't know George, but presumably so. Try adding it and see what the effect is:

Code: Select all

if (StringFind(pair,"JPY",0) != -1 || StringFind(pair,"XAG",0) != -1 || StringFind(pair,"SILVER",0) != -1)  Pipfactor = 100;      // if jpy or silver

Thanks for coding and making MPTM available Steve. I was testing it for managing multiple trades simultaneously in different pairs on different timeframes so I attached the EA to each chart. I set it to ManageAllTrades but should I instead set ManageAllTrades to false and set ManageByMagicNumber to true plus set a different magic number for each new chart I attach it too so that the multiple MPTM instances would not interfere with each other?

If it is necessary to set a different magic number for each new chart/timeframe I attached it to then is there some code I can add to the EA so it creates a new magic number automatically for each new instance of MPTM?

I'm new to EAs so I hope you can forgive my ignorance. Thanks.

Hi Global,
hope i can help a little.
For what you are describing here, i think you must NOT set 'managealltrades', but rather, 'managethispaironly". MAnaging all trades will manage everything on the platform, read the guide and the code in the mql4 editor and you'll see the warnings.Its all there.

The magics are usually '1' for each and any pair that MPTM takes a position for regardless of original trades magic. Careful with these magics, i dont know of a script to change the way MPTM issues them and would'nt like to play with the code too much.

EG, if you want to control a trade on EURUSD, you must attach the main EA on a chart that only trades EURUSD, and then on another EURUSD chart, attach MPTM with 'managethispaironly' as true. Then check the rest of the parameters that they dont clash down the road with another setting. You'll get strange errors. That way you keep these this pair on its own. DO the same for the rest of the pairs you want to trade.

I dont know the effect of the magics though. never tried trading using magics.

Thank you very much CuzGeorge. I just reread the manual and looked at the code comments again and you are right so I'll try the ManageThisPairOnly setting. Steve would be angry with my question since the answer was right in from of my face. As it is always recommended, RTFM and if you still don't get it, then RTFM again Of course, RTFM means, Read the FULL Manual, right
