Lifesys any input?

Do you have pendings on ppos or ppos2?
I have 7 on ppos but none on ppos2.

Maybe it's normal, just have to be patient. Also PPoS is not trading at the moment (only pending)

Yes man ! You are perhaps right - no trades atm may stand for no fucking false trades ? :oops: :?

Have closed out PPoS and PPoS2 and start again tonight DO, 4% close all on each.

Due to commitments to a Nat/l. organisation, cannot follow thread constantly - sorry.
1. Trades setup by PPoS2 will differ from PPoS as month goes on as direction determination is slightly different - that was the point to see if 20xD1 & 5xD1 is possibly more accurate than Mn & W1 resp.
2. PPoS2 not trading Day2 may be related to hard wired Day1 of month code in IsTradingAllowed() - now moved to extern option in ver 2C attached, as implied by Mike.

Code: Select all

extern int      Trade1stDayOMonth			 = true;
Steve's original PPoS code did not really allow for 'StopTradingDay' to engage no further trades without 'CloseAndDeleteTrades' being set.
I was using

Code: Select all

StopTradingDay = 23; // &
CloseAndDeleteTrades = false;
which actually did nothing, hence added a detector in IsTradingAllowed() which may have disturbed things. Will watch next week Day2. ;-)
3, As iasho (Sat Jul 11) pointed out, using 20x & 5x Trading for direction, we may need neither of these since we are no longer relying on a previous calendar month or week.

ver 2C - All other inputs set to orig. PPoS ver-k incl. magicNumber = 0;
Remind that PPoS set file does not match as PPoS2 has extra inputs.
Real compare results may only be evident after some weeks & interesting to watch. I mentioned am trialling 'Market' rather than 'Pending' (only available in orig. for Main trades & not Multi). Picks up Main much earlier but with real reversals will hit SL more often.

Spoke too soon, PPoS is away with pendings EJ, EU, UCh today, no trades yet but PPoS2 still sleeping. I have loaded 2c ready for DO and trying to compare settings between the two, I may well have missed a condition. Will look again at 01:00.
