How about an external input below the TradeComment:

Code: Select all

extern bool TimeStamp=true;
And then stamp the variable TradeComment with the current time before the OrderSend:

Code: Select all

if(TimeStamp)  {TradeComment = TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES);}
And then put the variable 'TradeComment' inrto the OrderSend command. If you would like to have the option of seeing the Magic Number in the order comment, then perhaps have this put in if the TradeComment is empty.

Just details, but I find it useful to have a time stamp. After a pending order has been filled with an open order, Empty4 won't give you the original date anymore, and a time stamp will still allow me to trace when the EA placed the pending order in first place (and assess whether I feel there was a strong rationale to do so or not).
You can replace line 2730, with TicketNo = OrderSend(symbol, type, lotsize, NormalizePrice(symbol, price), 0, NormalizePrice(symbol, stop), NormalizePrice(symbol, take), TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES), MagicNumber, expiry, col);

Hi,

I've come to the conclusion, this strategy works but only if you are prepared to take a large drawdown, the latest addition of the CSS indi, limits the amount of trades taken, but reduces the drawdown.

You can run the EA without the CSS by turning the switch useCSS to false.

I'm now looking at other ideas I have.

Hi,

Andy, thanks for all your work on this.

I've had 2.01 running on Alpari Demo.
It had started to make some pips.
I upgraded to 2.04 (also the dll and mqh)
It loads onto the chart - I press refresh to get all info to display.
But no pendings in two days.
I've seen CSS colour at Goldenrod and RSI value under 2 (0.12 and 0.00) but no pending

Any ideas

Pat

Hi Andy,

When you say large DD what do you mean relative to gain? 50%? I wonder if performance might improve by simply excluding some of the pairs with low liquidity. Thanks.

Hi Andy,

Does this mean that you are stopping work on this EA and switching to something completely different?

Or are you just letting go of Bob's ideas on the entries?

Sometimes around 12-14%, the EA takes 1 step forward 1 step back then 2 steps forward, it does make money but long winded, I have an account from day 1 and it started at 25K, it is now 30K since
March 17th.

Hi

Yes same with me, CSS colour at Goldenrod and RSI value under 2 (0.12 and 0.00) also we have the boundary parameters, if price is outside those settings, also no trades, the CSS and RSI, don't seem to sync that regular.
