I uploaded the 2 templates above and trades were taken immediately.
If you get a highlighted super signal on TDesk, Desky should open a trade immediately.
Check that your fixed margin percentage under Margin checks is in line with your account size as Richards setting are aggressive. I changed mine to fixed lots to trade smaller.
Lastly, check that Desky's magic number is the same as Tdesk's magic number.
Hope it helps
Cheers.
Thanks Leon :hi:
The settings are aggressive yes. It is a small account and I want to push it to see it how it copes.
I am changing to 2 pendings and following with a stop order (fill the gap) if it should go 60 pips past the last filled order (I'm current doing this manually). I am also tinkering with the Buffer for strength of current direction.
Obviously it would be good to get feedback from the folks who have downloaded the templates with any improvements they may have made, for everyone to benefit.
Time well tell. :)

The original small account is still chugging away nicely. Templates are on page 10.

This is the £20K demo. Templates are on page 11.

I have set up another account after some very positive testing the past week. I have tweaked settings and base indicators, if it works out I will share those templates too.

Stay safe folks.

This is now in DD due to AUD/NZD. Since taking this trade I adjusted the Stoh to read daily signal too.

I have trading balance filters set to true here, which cuts down the number of trades dramatically.

I'm very happy with the results so far, but believe there is room for improvement (I would like to get the fill gap working after sending an immediate market trade & 3 Pendings, if the price goes against us). And that's why I'm sharing the templates.
Hello r1ch4rd,
Does the "fill the gaps" setting do it's thing like intended?
How are your stochastic trigger rules? I am testing a similar system but I am using an atr based grid to get a wider grid with more volatile pairs and a fixed TP a little bit before the next order fills. I only use grid trading to have the "fill the gaps " funktion. I am using SPB latest version to send the signals to TDesk and EAX Pins for the stoch signals.
Unfortunally my demo was closed last week because desky was going berserk. (wrong settings)
I will share my settings as soon as I have constant result.

Cheers, Thomas

Hi Thomas

I have found out that "fill the gap" wasn't working in conjunction with the grid option. It has to be either or, but not both.
My latest test has binned the stoch and gone for HGI on 5M & H4 (So far looking positive).
SS is H4, D1 & W1.
M5 1MA crossing 6MA(30min).
3 X H4 ATR grid Limit order & 20TP or 50TP as Global.
SL 120

I definitely think things are moving in right direction (nailing entries and having low DD).
Hitting 20 pip TPs multiple times a day, certainly adds up. :)

R1chard am I right in that the Desky 4SS 2Stoch MA Cross.tpl template does not load the Desky EA? Does it have to be added after the template is place or do the drones from that template replace the Trading Partner (Desky) EA? Sorry but a lot of this is still over my head and changes so fast, lol

Also, assuming I don't have to add the EA, it is stating in the chart window that there is insufficient margin to allow trading 1300.75%. I don't know if it's trying to tell me something or if those particular comments are residual artifacts from your own chart.

hey sojourner

That template should load desky, but this particular one requires it to be named 'Tdesk Trading Parnter EA (27).ex4' - so you have to rename your EA appropriately, and then refresh

the best thing to do is to check your experts tab in the Empty4 terminal, it will tell you what's missing etc.

Sorry folks. I have changed the template and replaced it on page 10.
My latest version of Desky was (27) as explained above (thank you Trader), an error on my part :roll: .
The EA should automatically be on your chart (Provided it is not numbered) and the 3 instances of Buffer Drones with their settings should be there too. :good:

3 days worth using the new tweaks.
The 2 losses were an arseup by me fiddling with stop loss settings. :arrrg:
Promising. :good:
