Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. PPoS blew a fifth of the account last week and now has dd such that the margin level approaches 200%. Margin call is a while away, but sure am glad this is not a live trading account. :idea:

Imagine coming across HGB and PPoS now rather than a few weeks ago. Noobs must think we are all nuts. :arrrg:

Zennor and I are collaborating on developing a ZP version of this bot in the background. It will be available soon. In the meantime, can we please avoid confusing issues here. This thread is about trading the bot as shown in post 1 here. I don't care what someone else got up to somewhere else.

There is a simple line of code that prevents the trades from being sent that I had commented out. I cannot imagine why I did that - probably during the multi-trade development period. Those of you who want to make your own change, go to line 922.

Change

//if (!EveryTickMode) OldBarsTime = iTime(Symbol(), TradingTF, 0);

to

if (!EveryTickMode) OldBarsTime = iTime(Symbol(), TradingTF, 0);


This removes the "//" comment indication and forces PPoS to wait for the open of a new candle before sending a trade - you will see the line of code change colour from grey.

Steve. I noticed that you also have this shaded out in your Bare Bones shell. You may want to change that when you get a chance.

First month of semi-auto testing has delivered good results, see the myfxbook link in my sig. My manual exits were not great on some trades but I did manage to get almost a full ride on some EUR pairs before the retrace.

Since I don't have a lot of time available this month I'll let it run full auto with following ATR settings: TP 3, SL 1, BE 1, JS 0,5. Previous settings were 4,5-1,5-1,5-1 I believe. Decreased the SL because all losing trades straight went through it and I think only 1 trade turned just before it. Let's see how upcoming month will be, I will be filtering out the pending orders for clear trends though.

After trading live profitably the original PP, i noticed some of my losses are because some pendings are set in the direction even when market is overbought or sold... you think it would be good to put an option in PPoS to do not send a pending order buy if overbought and vice versa for sell and oversold?
I have added Stochastic to PPoS - copied from HGB so the inputs are the same.

This might be a good time to test this out as well. Lots of pairs are extended and banging into weekly support / demand levels. Plus May is approaching and they say "sell in may and go away" (volatility goes away, strong trend pushes become weaker). Not sure how much I buy into the "sell in May" thing but I do buy into weekly and month zones. Interesting approach that should keep the losses down on a turn.
Nice one!
