i set the max pairs to 8.. it's opening 20 pending.
Good idea, but perhaps a Zeljko filter could be more meaningful to contain risk?

at this point, the EA works great.. but not setting TP or SL.. so when it opens a trade, you have to manage it manually

If Stealth is true, then the EA will manage the trade, assuming the EA is running,

I'm telling you, i had a nzdchf trade open.. it went against me, and never closed at 240ma.. at the same time the EA was giving order errors
Have you changed the magic number to something other than 0?

I got a bunch of the AUDNZD did the exact same thing on FXCM

don't you just love FXCM lol... 90% of their clients lose.. is that coincidence ? i don't freakin think so
Over 90% will loose their accounts..... no matter which broker.

I changed this line:

Code: Select all

int trades = (openPairs(OP_BUY)+openPairs(OP_BUY));
To

Code: Select all

int trades = (openPairs(OP_BUY)+openPairs(OP_SELL));

can you explain this a little ?

thanks in advance !
That means only start sending the stop orders if both the stoch and AO have pulled back, the 10.2 rules say only one has to pull back.

First, sorry for my english.

Great work, MrLong.

Only two days testing it, maybe too soon to say anything. Not too much experienced in EAs, so i apologize in advance if i make any stupid remark.

I don´t like trades too close to 240 MA, and above all, i hate when there is too much activity near the MA. Trade becomes a kind of scalping and if you set 1% or 2% risk, spreads can be hurting. Maybe could be interesting an option to avoid these kind of trades.

In the other hand, i don´t like neither price too long of MA (350, 400 pips). Odds of a reversal are high and retrace could be dangerous. Also interesting the option of avoid these trades.

I don´t know if it is possible to teach an EA "don´t buy the resistence" "don´t sell the support" when S/R match with pivots. It seems quite difficult to code such a thing. I think it would be a little improvement wait for a traditional breakout of previous levels instead of taking the trade few pips before of a resistence or support area.

Thank you for sharing.
