Hey Gringoh...you are just the man that I was going to contact !!...may i ask you if it is possible that your HGI Dashboard can be setup to do a global closure from an input for Equity ....not Balance ?

I have been looking everywhere and I would settle for an EA that will watch the Equity amount and do a global closure plus shut down HGB as soon as a specified level is hit.
for example:
start of day trading the Balance column shows $5800 .....which is the same in the Equity column ....i want to set the EA up to watch the Equity column fluctuating balance, this balance is what includes closed trades + floating balance of open trades ....if i have entered $6000 as the specified amount then it will close as soon as the Equity column reads $6000....all trades close, pendings close and HGB shuts down...next day i set the EA up to repeat this but change the specified level to $6200 and so on etc etc ...it doesn't need to make any calculations but only have the ability to spot when the specified amount is hit.

i hope this isn't getting too off topic, i don't mean to do that........ :)

Let's discuss this in HGI Dashboard thread. It shouldn't be a problem to add this option. This option already exist as a % (once target reached, all trades are closed and you have an option to stop trading until the next day or continue trading).

Cheers,

And I increased my risk for this type of trade to 10% from the usual 2-5%...hope u guys caught the USDCAD trade today. Looking very good:
Those TrendWave trades are amazing...I have a fixed Sl of 100pips, and TP is set to 0...I let the opposing wave signals close the trade. If I had this setting during the SNB tsunami, I would have made a killing!

Looking at the my live account history, on Jan 15, the ea started selling usdchf the first 4hr before the gap...i had about 3 sell trades, and all hit the tp of 30pips within hours...but if there was no tp setting, had at least 1400pips profit.

Had a couple long usdchf a few days before with no SL...should have checked my SL levels on all the trades before going to sleep!!! Since my lot sizes were minimal, 0.02 lots on three long usdchf trades, my account only got hit with 25% loss...can't complain...this EA is just amazing, and this usdcad is recovering my 25% losses if it continues its uptrend like this:

HGB is just about holding his own on my demo - not gone back into live trading after banking my 40% on Thursday, nor will I until Feb at the earliest.

Demo opened after the bloodbath has been up 20%, then down 10% and now is back to about breakeven. Not bad considering the turmoil in the markets in the wake of the bloodbath.

Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

So based on the following setting, if any opposite arrow or wavy lines appear, the trades must get close...Let's see how many pips I can milk before this happens!

Depending upon the TF you are trading you might like to keep an eye on these! :smile:

This one is for those of you using ATR for your sl and tp. The intention is that HGB will leave these alone once they are in place; check it out for me, please.

Can anyone confirm whether the hidden sl/tp stuff is working or not?

:xm:
Steve,
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but while you are looking in the trade management module, the Trailing stop loss doesn't appear to be working as intended. The attachments show the 50-pip SL in my setfile, and the actual SL on eurnzd at 1.5065 when price is at 1.51438 (so SL should be at 1.50938 or higher).

I would leave the close on opposite arrow = false.

I trade the wavy lines only since the last 2 weeks and the trade will close even if there is an opposite Rad arrow appears. Happened to me on the beginning a lot and then I changed to close on opposite wave signal only.
You only want to really close if an opposite wavy line appears.

That is when you take full advantage of these trades.

got this mail from Jeremy of GP today :
**************************
Hey buddy,

Your Global Prime live account has been flagged as hyperactive which means it is sending too many order modifications – It sent 36,000+ modification messages yesterday ie adjust SL/TP etc.

This email is a courtesy to ask to please modify your EA to make less order modifications as too many accounts doing this can place strain on the server.

I will let you know if your account appears in our hyperactive list again.

Thank you for your assistance, any questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Jeremy Kinstlinger
**********************************************
My live account is setup to trade Range, Rad and Rad Multiple trades without enabling any ATR, BE, jump stop etc. Don't know why there were so many order modifications ?

I'm using version 2o and attached is the set file, Steve, would you care to take a look at it.
