[I can get rid of logs, tomorrow some time, but I don't know which are important so I'll either guess or take all the logs out. Also, I'll hard code the spreadsheet settings.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for helping

By "hard code "do you mean the settings are permanent and can't then be adjusted?

"hard code" is add the excel values into the EA as default values, but they can still be changed when you start the EA.
I've been looking at the other issues, but its pretty difficult, for me, to see what's going on :?

So, some basic questions is: -
1. The EA has 'Grid Setup A' and 'Session A Open Strategy' inputs, which is the Retracement Strategy and which is the Momentum Strategy?
2. Maybe a summary of the two strategies would help me?

Cheers

Hi Paul.,

Grid setup A is the Retracement Strategy (RS) and Session A Open is the Momentum Strategy (MS).

Pending trades are set at 50 pips above and below the 22h00 opening candle which is marked by a blue line (Pivot line--(PL). RS is a buy/sell limit trade that aims to catch a retracement of price. There are three variables which effect the trade. The distance from PL to 1 st level (OR), the lot size and the TP% which determines how far price must retrace before TP is filled. If price moves past level 1 (OR) and does nos not retrace but fills OR 2 then the TP is moved up so as to stay as near to price as possible to catch the retrace. Its necessary to invcrease the lot sizes per OR level to keep the TP close to price. The weakness of this strategy is if price moves too far (10 levels and beyond) without retracing it plays havoc with your margin.

To counter this I created the MS. This simply sets a buy/sell stop order at the same level as the RS limit trade. So theoretically for every buy order there must be a sell order. This SL for these MS trades is the TP for the RS trades. I then create a bias between the lot sizes so that on each level the overall nett between the 2 strategies will always be a profit. On level 1 and 2 the RS profit will be greater than the MS loss. From level 3 on the RS and the MS trades will both be profitable.

That was all relevant for the Fx Pooler ver 6a Single EA. Today I added another 10 levels to the MS. which is now FX Pooler ver 6b Single. So all 10 levels for each RS trade will also have a MS trade but there will be an extra MS trade between each RS level as well. So for RS there are 10 trades from level 1 to 10. For the MS there are 20 trades from level 1 to 10. If the RS trades go to 3 levels then there should be 6 MS trades.

I hope that's not confusing.

I've done a Strat test from 2000-2012 on EU starting on $15 000 deposit and it survived. I'll post the report and graph later.

Thanks for your assistance

That just means that those particular user defined functions are not utilized in the programming and will not be included in the .ex4 file. It is the number of errors (in this case 0) that is pertinent.

Because of the Print commands that are commented out, I'm assuming that these functions are giving you the results you are looking for and it is possible that the names of the functions are not what they are actually intended to do (though that would be confusing) but after looking through the code, I am wondering if this might possibly be an error;

In the function "subFindHighestSell" you use
if(OrderOpenPrice()>PriceS)PriceS = OrderOpenPrice();

but, in the function "subFindLowestMarketSell" you also use
if(OrderOpenPrice()>PriceS)PriceS = OrderOpenPrice();

That won't give you the lowest sell.
The "subFindLowestBuy" and "subFindHighestMarketBuy" functions also share the same code
if(OrderOpenPrice()<PriceB||PriceB==0)PriceB = OrderOpenPrice();

Again, I'm not sure if this is an error or as intended, it only confused me and I thought I'd point it out in case it is an error.

Hi,

Whatever it says top left (Market Watch) on the broker platform is what you you use. It doesn't really make any difference as I run the EA 24/5. What does it say on the EA you're using. Remember NOT to use the settings as currently in the EA's--use the settings in the set.files

Please, No more questions re time and GMT etc.
All times are UTC Page 2 of 11
