These are the current open trades I have on my latest Global Prime demo...it has the exact settings as my Global Prime live account (not to be confused with my Cowboy Go Markets live account settings)

This demo was started on 10th October.

These are my current open trades on my LIVE Cowboy Go Markets account (different settings to above)

My first live trade (AUDNZD long) just hit BE and closed half, although I'm getting plenty of error warnings these do not seem to prevent the EA operating as it should.

Yes, my audnzd trade on my live account (as shown in my post above) has also hit BE and half closed. All 3 trades are now risk free :D

Also the eurcad on one of my demo's has just hit TP 300 :lol:

V 2i is in post 1.

I have added the extra variable to tell BASA when the BE function has closed part of a trade, so we should not get any more of those 'invalid ticket' errors.

I spotted a few other thingies as I was reading the code, so I have tried to tighten up on when the missing take profit insertion function is called, and how it operates. Not sure if this will cure the problem. We shall see.

My H1 account is up nearly 3% now, and it is only trading a few charts.

:D
Read the effing manual, ok?

V 2j is in post 1.

I have seen instances of the first stack trade opening, and then the basket pair closing within seconds - generating '"Possible rogue trade" alerts.

The problem lies in this line of code:
StackBreakevenProfit = (StackBreakevenProfit * OpenTrades) / factor;

StackBreakevenProfit is never set back to the user input StackBreakevenProfitPips, and so is multiplied by the number of trades every tick, so the BE line quickly passes the market.

I think the solution lies in changing both instances of:
StackBreakevenProfit = (StackBreakevenProfit * OpenTrades) / factor;

(Scite lines 2632 and 2645) to:
StackBreakevenProfit = (StackBreakevenProfitPips * OpenTrades) / factor;

then recompiling, so those of you who can go ahead and make the change. 2j is for the Codephobes.

The only thing that bothers me is that no two trade baskets should have survived more than a few ticks if StackBreakevenProfitPips > 0. Yet many have. How?

:D

I went to change these lines in 2i, however they were already correct. So not sure if you got your code crossed, hopefully not chasing your tail with that one :)

i have it in 23 pairs and not a single trade since yesterday evening, almost 24 hours are passed, this is normal?

Attached my set file.

Thanks in advance for your reply.



Entitas.
Yes - this is not unusual. Check your charts and you should see why if you add the 240 and 60 LWMA's.
Cheers,
Dave.
