Can others confirm that, like myself, they're still getting the 130 error?

Pending orders are still being sent though.

Check the ticket-number, must be somewhere in the message. Show a picture if you can't find the ticketnumber.

Regarding range trades: The introduction of the 60 MA leads me to believe that it's purpose it to confirm we are in a full blown trend or, we are in a range; correct? The EA won't (or shouldn't) take a trend trade when we are between the MA's, as this is when we range trade.

In the user guide, Bob shows two chart examples of range trades. The first clearly shows range trades only being taken when price was between the MA's. The second example shows range trades being taken when the MA's were in the trend position, along with others that were in the range. So, what's the deal? In my mind, we should only take range trades when price is between the MA's. Now, I'm sure as heck not gonna tell Bob how to trade (like I could, lol) or Steve how to write an EA (OMG could you imagine?) But what's the point of the 60MA if we are not going to respect it in it's entirety?

A little comparing of the HGB indi and the 240 buy/sell indi shows what we now call range trades, are what we used to call CT trades. That makes perfect sense to trade those; if we are indeed in a range. Yet my HGB EA was taking lots of range trades when we are clearly in trend country. WTF? I had so many effed up range trades (that in my mind, should never have been taken) that I just turned them off. I think that properly executed range trades would have been a Godsend in the last 24 hours or so; but I had them turned off. I will note, that I haven't kept up with all the updates to the EA (they were coming in pretty fast- when does Steve sleep?) and if this is/was indeed an issue, it may have been dealt with already.

Has anyone else had this come up for them? Or, has this been addressed and I missed it? Am I high and don't realize it?
Hi Wolf,

Mostly the range started before PA went between the 2 MA's, resulting in trendtrades not going anywhere.

This new indi is capable of sensing the range at the moment it starts. If they are worth the trouble (cost of being in the market) is to be determined in the future. Maybe for pairs with a higher ATR yes, and others not.

HGI is a work of art, founded on the buy above/ sell below way of trading, but with new (better?) rules.

Instead of questioning the logic, we all should put our efforts in trying to use it.
Everyone is free to use it as one sees fit. You could even only take trend trades above/ below the MA's, and range trades between them. It's up to you!

Thanks Gerti,

" You could even only take trend trades above/ below the MA's, and range trades between them. It's up to you!"

That's exactly what I want to do. And my assumption was that this is how it should be OOTB.

I'll take trend trades anytime!

It's the range trades that I only want when price is between the MA's... How do I set that up?

Hi!
Getting an error on Wave Tradee "InsertStopLoss() stop loss > market 4202: object does not exist"

Have I done something wrong in the stoploss settings for the wave trades?
Have stoploss 99 in the settings but it doesnt have any sl when the trade goes from pending to market order.

Hi Gertje,

Yes, it is. I still can't understand why this is happening. The error appears every 10 mins (exactly) for the relevant pair and places duplicate orders.

One question, I'm now using HGI_v15.01 on my chart and have changed the name in HGB to reflect this. Is there anyone else using the new Indicator or are you still using HG_Dark.V.14.05?

Would someone be kind enough to post their HGI indicator 'HG_Dark.V.14.05' from their indicators folder ... I have deleted mine from my PC at home and it's been removed and replaced on the HGI thread.

Thanks
