Multi 10:4 Trader EA

[acostafulano]

Mr Long: Another question from 1.08a: I've noticed the input "UseOneDailyTrade".

Would you please explain how it works? does it just limit the # of pendings the EA can fire up in one day? How does it relate to the "delete pending" input?

Also, does 1.08a include the automatic delete pending orders change you mentioned? If I understand correclty, in its current form, the EA fires up its set of pending orders if the conditions are met... Then, please confirm if I'm understanding correctly the way the EA works in the following scenarios:

a) If some of them eventually FILL and then close (either for profit or loss), then the EA will send a new pending order for that symbol as soon as the conditons are met.

b) If some pending orders DON'T fill because the Price fails to touch it, they just keep floating around as PENDING ORDERS until the setting "delete pending" triggers in whatever day you choose and then start over.

My suggestion, could it be something like "delete unfilled pending orders every X days" instead of having it "fixed" at once per week?

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your comments MR Long!

Hi Jurgen, a couple of questions about your update:

- Trade comments are not being respected (see red circles!) :O!

It IS working on the 1.08a version though.}

Bug maybe? :O

Hi MrLong & all,

Time to post my optimized version of 1.08. Goals of my modifications: lower cpu usage by eliminating redundant calculations and simplifying mainenance of the grid by an alternate method of drawing the cells and placing the columns within the cells.

That's it! Have fun testing & integrating!

Cheers, Jürgen

EDIT 2013-03-26 16:50 CET: upload a new version that fixes 3 issues. Delete old version.

Here is a snapshot of my live FXCM account running 1.08a with screen showing two NZDJPY trades. Is this EA supposed to do this? Thanks.

Yes, they are ok, price's are at 2 different pivot levels

Today in 10.8, the TP TP didn't got executed at WS1 or even WS2 on EURCAD and EURAUD. Anyone having the same issue? In 10.7, it used to TP@ WS1. Thx.

Can you send me a screenshot of your terminal, with the trades, or the history tab with the closed trades.

Thanks

Here it is... The order is still not closed yet.

Hi,

I needed to look at the trades, that are rolling, Edit/Terminal.

This order got closed when i restarted Empty4. I didn't stopped the EA running in the weekend. Could this be due to the EA still considering the last week's WS1/WS2 values?

I'll share the details again if I encounter the same again. Thx.

Facing the same issue with XAGUSD this time. The TP is way beyond the WS1.

Andy,

Can I ask what is the difference between useBoundryFilter = false or true?

Thanks.

True, means the EA considers how far price is away from the MA, before opening the pending order.

The parameters are calculated by the specific pairs ADR.

False, mean these parameters are not considered.

Andy.

What I see is that most trades work... but have only been testing for a short time and can see that there is a problem with USSA traders. I See that the new version may address this problem.
and thanks for your advice bshoe24.
FinFX is a consideration. But I don't know
The problem is that I cant get get this to work on Oanda.
Will try some more
Works Great on MB until there is a hedge.

So far in over 6 years this is the best I have seen.
I don't know if this for real but its close. I Hope

I've stopped the EA taking hedges now, or I think I have

Hello Everyone!

Quick question for MrLong: What's the difference between 1.08a and 1.08?

I'm guessing: Simplex CPU usage optimization code changes? Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks!

Diego

A few bug fixes.

Hi,

The idea behind this was, if an order has closed at, 1.50 and price falls back and the conditions are met, don't fill another order at that rate, wait until tomorrow, usefull if we are long and get a red bar and price closes, orders can still add to because it only
works if open orders are zero.

Pending orders are now deleted if price goes to the opposite side of the MA, all pending orders are valid until a new week begins, so Steve's method of deleting on Friday evenings work well.

Hi,

That's using the ADR, for TP, I've fixed this in 1.09.

Thank you Jürgen,

Hi Roman,

TraderDesk had a similar problem, please refer to my answer:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 976#p49976

I would like to emphasize for all: my function DrawRectangle() for drawing the grid background does nothing more than drawing text labels consisting of WingDings or Webdings characters on the chart window. I did not yet analyze why the width of the very same coordinates give different results regarding rectangle width on different machines.

To work around this at the moment it is necessary to manually adjust respective coordinates - see above mentioned post. I will go on working on this issue ... if anybody should give my DrawRectangle() code a closer look: any idea about this issue is most welcome!

By the way: I had similar issues when trying to adapt MrLong's original drawCell() to my different machines ... So maybe we should face the fact that MQ4 was not designed to easily draw fancy coloured grids on screen.

Cheers, Jürgen
