Useful 10.x thingies by Steve and Others

[SteveHopwood]

This is only a start for this script. Next step is over to you guys to answer this question: what do you want as a take profit? Let me know.

Hi Steve

Could I please ask to see if the ITM could have a feature for the user to set (X) number of pips before or after the support/resistance TP? Similiar to the 'buffer' option in the 10.4 pending order script.

If find a lot that my broker price gets within a pip then turns around...

If we could have this feature hidden from the broker would be nice as well!

Thanks for the great work on the ITM~!

Regards
Daryl

Use Stealth. Don't ask me about this - read the UG.

Guess what would happen if I added what you want - the market would get within a pip of your buffered tp and then turn around. Read http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 867#p38867 to discover why.

ITM behaved itself impeccably today. I had two trades - EU and GJ sells.

GJ hit its tp.

EU was closed by ITM after a change of Awesome colour.

This is on my live trading account, so balance up c. 3%. Doesn't it make a change when something works out for once?

The code for setting the tp in the script and the ea is the same, and I am not sure either are setting the tp correctly - I believe someone else mentioned this. I will look at this tomorrow, so in the meantime be aware that there appears to be a problem here.

RE 10.4 Pending Order Placement Script

Great work Steve, compared to yesterday this script has saved me loads of time.

Another good job.

10.4 pending order placement script works perfectly and so easy to use.
Thanks for a great script Steve. Can you add a tp at the next pivot as an option?
Buffer pips on that pivot would be good too.

If it works on some pairs, the script is allright.

If you're too close to the entrypoint, some brokers won't accept the order.

I agree, I believe many brokers won't let you put pending orders if the price is too close to your order price. I use SigTrader from LiteForex for demo and it has the same issue.

Try to enter a pending manually, you'll see the mimimum stop-distance noted below the entry fields.
Usually it is the same as the spread. Some brokers will widen this distance during the release of news, to avoid a lot of entry's close to the price.

I guess GP doesn't do this...

Guys
Is anyone else having orders closed out, in profit or loss, as soon as the ITM is placed on a chart?

I have tried it on demo and live accounts and turned all margin overtrading etc functions off and set large TP/SL to no avail.

I am thinking it is my broker, (Cowboy Go Markets) somehow, if no one else is having dramas.

Cheers

No sir, we do not.

Just kidding Jeremy, I wouldn't have expected such a thing from you.
