Spider: an auto-trader for spiderforex's VQ system

[gaheitman]

After some restart of this crappy Empty4 I don't have this issue anymore.... !

We are now outside of the trading hours so I'll keep you update tomorrow

It likely hadn't compiled the indicator until you restarted. Or it's something completely different.

where to get the ea had modified ?

can someone to post here

[gaheitman]

I'll try to post the EA later today. I need to modify the DoneForTheDay code to include a threshold of +/- pips to help classify trades as winners or losers. As it stands now, the slight win (ha ha) or loss you get when hitting break even counts as a full win/loss.

Do you know why my ATC broker always get wrong value from VQ7 indicator?
either the value of Vqup and down is 2147483647.00000000, 2147483647.00000000
or -1.00000000,-1.00000000

void GetVq()
{
trend = none;

VqUp = iCustom(NULL, 0, "VQ7", false, VqTimeFrame, VqLength, VqMethod, VqSmoothing, VqFilter, false, false, true, true, false, true, Yellow, Aqua, 10000, 3, 1);
if (VqUp != EMPTY_VALUE) trend = up;
VqDown = iCustom(NULL, 0, "VQ7", false, VqTimeFrame, VqLength, VqMethod, VqSmoothing, VqFilter, false, false, true, true, false, true, Yellow, Aqua, 10000, 4, 1);
if (VqDown != EMPTY_VALUE) trend = down;

Print("Vqup and down is "+VqUp + ", " + VqDown);
}//void GetVq()

What do you get when you drop the indicator on the chart itself and look in the data window?

Hi George,
I know you are busy with several works and I am dropping this note to check if you can release the modified EA sometime soon?
Thanks.

OK, I'm attaching a version here for testing only. I have added DFTDBreakEvenThresholdPips and set it to 4, so if any trade is within +/- 4 pips from zero it will be ignored for purposes of winning/losing trade counts. Those pips do still count in the Max/Min pips in a day calculation.

Hi George,
thanks for the test version.

Strategy Tester
I ran the Strategy Tester with OOTB settings and there were several errors which I am not familiar with:
unmatched data errors
dll calls are not allowed; 'kernel32.dll'-'GetFileAttributesA'
I then toggled the DLL in the expert advisor settings and the dll calls error disappeared but there were no results from the Strategy Tester.

I ran another Strategy Tester with OOTB settings except changing UseDFTD from true to false and there were no results too. The errors were the same - unmatched data errors and dll calls are not allowed; 'kernel32.dll'-'GetFileAttributesA'.

EA on demo
I also ran the DFTD EA on demo and the management alerts (on screen) were not shown although SetManagementAlerts was set to true. I cannot tell when spider is running.
Are the Trade Hours based on Empty4 server time or based on my computer local time?

Please let me know how to proceed further with the testing, thanks.
