Fmfx auto-trader. Another new toy by Steve Hopwood

[mbkennel]

by the way, you need sidus_v3 indicator, check that too. I don't have a link to it, and it's not on 1st post.

The indicator can be found here

Thank you, that's very kind of you but I had already installed the indicator

load it and recompile it.

Hi Steve,

I was hoping if you have some spear time you could help make the call for (Use RSI Trend Detection, Naningbob trend detection, All Average, CBI Module and martingale multiplier) in the code so we can use them for additional filter for ranging period and increase winning ratio.

Thanks a lot

I've been running this EA for just over a week now interestingly it hasn't opened any AUD, CAD or CHF base pair trades despite numerous valid entry points!

As you can see in the attached graphs there have been a number of great trades that simply haven't been opened.

I've checked the logs for some of these times and no error messages were raised - trades for other pairs have occurred before and after these times.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why?

I've noticed the following strange behaviour while reviewing the logs for yesterday.

A USDCAD sell trade was opened at 00:28 and then modified with an SL and TP at 02:03. Then from 03:54 the log is full of these messages:

03:54:09 '144583': modify order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386 -> sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386

It seems the SL was constantly being modified to either 0.99888 or 1.00188. This went on until 09:58 when the pair was closed (at 0.99695?).

The same thing happened to a USDJPY trade that was open. Both of these are only "one off's" at this stage but I thought I'd throw it out there for any comments?

I am also getting the constant modify error, infact mine lasted for 3 days untill i closed the trade manually. Hmmm What could be the cause :

Try changing the option "Only trade currency twice" to False, and also change "CadPairsPositiveOnly, AudPairsPositiveOnly, NzdPairsPositiveOnly" to False.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already had the "CadPairsPositiveOnly, AudPairsPositiveOnly, NzdPairsPositiveOnly" set to false but not the OnlyTradeCurrencyTwice setting. Have now changed it to 'false' and I'll see what happens this week.

I don't think changing the "OnlyTradeCurrencyTwice" setting to true has helped. There was a good AUDUSD entry signal (see below) but no trade opened.

Not sure if it matters, but you don't seem to be using the latest version. Your version still has the separate start time printing in the display.

I've checked against the EA in post 1 and you're right, the only difference is the start time is removed.

Just out of curiosity, did you get the AUDUSD trade I referred to above or aren't you running the EA currently?
