Bob's Biggest Balls Ever

[McNish]

@ Frank : Thanks for the info. I had cross checked with Paul's Slope Values indi and the result was the same, no display on Auto:F, but good on True for my demo crim. But on another crims platform, display shows for either T/F on the slope indi. So it's more of an typical crim issue than a bug in the code.

@ Lifesys : So the solution worked for you I guess ?

Apart from that, mine has not taken any trade today though there have been some. Then again, maybe timing has something to do here. Or does the EA take trades as soon as it it set and not wait for a right timing of the market and let missed trades be missed trades. Yesterday, while I was trying around with the inputs of BBBE and getting futile attempts, at one instance, it took two trades immediately. Since then no luck at any trades. But my query stands, Does the EA take trades immediately after it is get to go or does it wait for the right market timing?

Hi Steve,

I think this has been discussed however I'm in a Kiwi short scalp at the moment and was receiving the following two errors....

07:36:16 Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g USDSEK,M5: Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g 2766182 TradeManagementModule stop loss modification failed with error 1: no error
07:36:16 Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g USDSEK,M5: Alert: Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g 2766182 TradeManagementModule stop loss modification failed with error 1: no error

As the trade was profitable i add a trailing stop and the error changed to the following...
07:14:16 Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g USDSEK,M5: Alert: Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g 2766182 TradeManagementModule stop loss modification failed with error 1: no error
07:14:16 Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g USDSEK,M5: Bob's Biggest Balls Ever1g 2766182 TradeManagementModule stop loss modification failed with error 1: no error

I hope this helps...

Hi,
I set only trend trades to true and scalp to false, but still opened scalp trades.

Regards.

V 1h is in post 1.

Somehow the 'P' on the table morphed into a "|". No idea how. fmuir brought this up and provided the fix.

A bit more relevant is a change to the code that enforces a wait until all new D1 candles have formed. As previously coded, BBBE would sulk if your crim does not offer a pair you had forgotten to remove from your symbolsToTrade input. Fixed in 1h.

Nice one. Thanks. I typed some code in the wrong order. Fixed in V 1i in post 1.

Those of you who prefer the editing approach, to to void WaitForAllD1CandlesToForm()

Find the line of code that is AllFormed = true; (line 845)

The following line of code needs to be:

Code: Select all

if (OldD1OpenTimes[i] == iTime(symbolNames[i], PERIOD_D1, 0) && !CloseEnough(MarketInfo(symbolNames[i], MODE_BID), 0) )

Must say that you are pretty fast...Thank you very much,Steve

At this stage i have turned the jump trade management off on BBBE and are considering adding MPTM to manage my BBE trades....

Any Help Would be appreciated...

@ Wiggy : I guess the error means that the SL settings ( either, BE, SL, TSL or JSL ) are closer than allowed by your broker. I too had the same error so the suggestion is just my 2 cents.

[Wiggy1965]

Thanks McNish, does the EA identify a pip as one digit or two..? So for exsample, 2 pips would be represented as 2 or 20.....It's just my broker (and many others) represent to pips as 20....

I'm experimenting with both, but a clear answer would be of help...
