Thanks Alex

That's a great great contribution here !
And it's nice to play again with this EA.

To run the EA, you will need the attached 10.2 indi's in your Indicators folder. You do not need them on your chart.

How safe is this bot to use considering I'll use 0.01 lots on an account of 10k and checking trades at least daily?
Is it safe to manually close a trade without negatively impacting the operation of the bot?

Personally I am still on demo. I do not know if there are people here trading live but I haven't seen any problems on demo that would prevent the kind of Live trading you propose. In any case, all the caveats apply

And yes. You can close manually and it shouldn't affect the EA.

Breakeven - even tho I had break even set to false in user settings, my stop kept getting modifed after the initial order. drove me crazy for a while until i found somewhere in the code that breakeven was being set to true no matter what the user choose.. i can't remember where tho at the moment.

That was a feature I believe that removed TP and used JS/TS when slope went > 0.8 on the daily or the other way round.

Anyways, I think most of the bugs you mentioned are fixed in this version.

Hi Al3xx,
thank you for your effort. can we enter fx pairs into the EA so it can trade them as a basket rather attach it to all fx tab? will it be accurate to back test using this EA as TMA 'repaint' in this case?
regards,

No you can't. I don't have any plans for that either. I prefer to put the bot on each chart I want to trade because I want to analyse each pair and gain some experience. For what you suggest, I think there are similar bots somewhere here doing exactly that.

Backtests will not be accurate from my experience. The slope for the current backtest timeframe (the one you select will be accurate but for the other (confirmation) timeframes will not. It could be fixed though with some effort but I have prefered forward testing.

Attaching a multi pair trading EA to a single chart does make it easy to run multiple setups of one or more EAs and tends to be more faster/reliable on Empty4. I do this with Baluda and BJS on a demo account and take trades manually on a live account.

When a trade fires off, MT4i's Tradetalk EA sends an email with a trade comment describing which EA took the trade. I then open the chart on a live account and see if I want to take the trade based on there being a correct entry for the system the EA is using, other analysis, lower TF entry following retracements and/or sheer fool hardiness

I will look into how hard it is to convert an EA to multi pair and perhaps give it a bash.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for taking on the further development..I have been following and testing since day one with Steve....I am not a coder, so can't be of much value to you, but will continue live testing and report my findings.....Live with Alpari-US, the results were great the first half of July, then began to lose some for August..I turned it off since August 10...Just reloaded your version on all charts and already have a Aud/Chf slightly in profit...Loaded OOTB except changed max stack trades to 2...The only bug i was experiencing was if the stack trade kicked in it traded 5 separate trades at once instead if one...(once was all winners,"yea",,once was all losers,,"ouch" )With only that change, it showed no other strange behavior.....I am interested in any other settings that might optimize it.....
Thanks to you Alex,Steve, NB, Gary and everyone else that has contributed...

Thanks a lot for having this ea "resumed"...

I'm still testing this EA since I love the fact that it matches with the original Bob's theory. I encountered the following bugs:

- hiddenpips not working well - solved with "hiddenpips=0"
- Breakeven profit sometimes not working (stop = entry so no profit) - can live with it
- Multiple trades opened when price was over 1st stack line - Solved with "maxstacktrades=2"

I will try current 1.0 version OOTB and follow up with some feedback...

Thanks. Feedback much appreciated.

I don't use hidden pips myself so for me "hiddenpips=0" too.
For the breakeven are you setting BreakEvenTargetProfit ? Mine is usually set at 5.

I discussed previously in Steve's thread about the mutiple trades opened after the first stack trade. The fix for that is on the way.
