Bob's Biggest Balls Ever

[SteveHopwood]

Hi Steve,
Thanks for all the Hard work, I suppose what we have at the Moment is Still working Wonders at the moment.
I forgot to turn off the experts Advisor tab on Empty4 after I manually closed the other Profitable trades and so I got these trades Again...

I am always doing that.

Another fav trick on my coding machine is to have several different bots under development. One of them sends a trade which is instantly closed. I spend several hours trying to track down the fault in the ea under development. Then I remember that there are several others on the same platform. The trade the current bot sends has met the closure criteria of another and so is closed by a different bot.

If I had a firing brain cell, I would be lethal.

Hey ho.

Question for you Steve,

In the code here and the others that use old bar times:

Code: Select all

   for ( i = 0; i < symbolCount; i++ )
   {
      // Weekly stuff
      if ( oldW1BarTime != iTime( NULL, PERIOD_W1, 0 ) )
      {
         getPivots( symbolNames[i], PERIOD_W1, pivotValues );
         symbolValues[i][iWP] = pivotValues[0];
         getPivots( symbolNames[i], PERIOD_MN1, pivotValues );
         symbolValues[i][iMP] = pivotValues[0];
      }

What happens when the clock hits a new day, hour etc and not all pairs have created a new candle? Will the EA come back and recalculate pairs that were missed or is there a way to have the EA wait for all pairs to update before populating the array?

Am I looking into this too much? From what I see here, If someone has the EA running 24/7 and not all pairs update when that clock hits a new day, the pivots and whatever other calculations that depend on this are slightly skewed.

Thanks,

Luke

I don't know Luke. We are back to the 'I am only the mechanic' thingy here. I do not understand Baluda's code any better than I understand anyone else's.

I assume Paul's code takes care of the scenario you describe. If it turns out not to be so, then I can easily add code that will enforce a delay until new D1 candles have formed on all charts - a common requirement with multi-pair eas.

Cheers

Steve,
I had only one trade that doesn't got it's SL set, can you take a look at it please? If there was an error setting the SL and TP at the time when the trade was opened, then it will never be set as I can see it. If trades got missing SL and they run against you for a bigger hit, that can affect 10.3 very badly, because as I understand 10.3 is about cutting your losses small and maintain at least a 2:1 RR ratio, since the hit rate is about 50%. An avoidable loss like this one, can easily wipe a whole day's profit.

I had this one trade that got this error yet, and I don't know what went wrong, but it's unreliable in it's current form

i have OOTB settings and for scalp should be max spread 5, but the EA opens positions with bigger spread. Anybody has this issue too?

@ Lifesys : Hi, Are the last couple coulmns the slope values of thr respective TF's?

Nice spot. This highlighted a couple of bloops in the code.

V 1d is in post 1. Lifesys and I have done a lot of work on this over the weekend:

• squished a few bugs.
• rearranged the chart display so that we can see both my customary feedback and the table. Enable both in your set file and remember to adjust DisplayGapSize to zero.
• you will also see Lifesys' ADX display that we first met in Double Big Mac. Details in 'Optional filters' in post 1. You will see that we have also added Doji consideration.
• created the facility to make one instance of BBBE the 'master' and so be the only one to manage open trades. Details in 'Assigning an instance 'master' status' in post 1

Wow

Thanks a lot to the team

Brilliant work

Is the "SetfileName" just for comments or there is a function behind ?

Thanks
Alex
