Depends on which side of the fence you sit, whether it's fun or not.

My wife chews me out worse than that.

Just to let you all know that I have found the fault that was stopping ITM closing trades following an AO colour change. The function that checks was only called if we are using Stealth, and I was when I tested it.

It is probably a good thing, because I had coded merely for the wrong colour, not for a change to the wrong colour, so it could have caused a filled trade to be instantly closed.

I shall issue the fix in time for markets opening on Sunday night/Monday morning.

:D

V 1g of ITM is in post 1, with the fix for AO colour change not closing a trade. Bear in mind that this fix is untested yet.

I have added a pending trade deletion function. From the updated UG:
Pending trade deletion day and time
It makes no sense to leave unfilled pending trades over the weekend. The pivots will be different in the following week, so the trades will be based on incorrect calculations.
  • PendingTradeDeletionDay: this is the day on which you want the pendings deleted. Enter it as a digit: Sunday = 0, so the default of 5 means Friday. Turn this off by entering a number > 7.
  • PendingTradeDeletionHour: the hour at which to delete the pendings:
    use 24 hour clock.
    • Use your own local time i.e. the hour on the clock on your wall at which you want to delete the pendings.
The defaults will delete my pendings at 6.00 pm on Friday.
As always, questions about how to tell the time merit the questioner a visit from a hit man.

:D

Here is the NB 10.4 Dashboard !
Pretty straight forward, it will alerts you when there is an opportunity to trade, based on Bob's rules.
You can now scan all your favorite pairs on one single screen and you will have sound alerts & mobile alerts.

The most important setting in the dashboard is the "pair" parameter.
Just add all the pairs you want to scan BUT be sure to correctly set them :
- If you have a broker with normal pairs syntax like "EURUSD", "USDCAD", etc ... just write them as is : "EURUSD,USDCAD," separated with a comma.

Hi Lio,
Is it possible for you to post the mq4 version of this dashboard, to be able to tweak it and to customize it ?

I have tried to set the PT at the yellow WP but could not figure out how to do it using the ITM.

Appreciate any help ? Thank you in advance !

I have downloaded the latest 10.4 Pending Order Placement Script. Every time I try to run it, now, it fails. It says "failed with error (0) no error".

I thought it might be too close to sr line so I set the MinimumPipsToNextSR to 0 but still no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks
I'm having the same problem. Is yours resolved? The latest script cannot place a pending order because of this error or places an order too far away from the current price, e.g. at SR1 even when there is MSR1 between the price and SR1.

The former version (without TP setting) worked just as expected... I really miss this script as it was very handy.

Has anyone else had the latest ITM close orders immediately when filled? I deleted the ex4/mq4 and re-downloaded. I've tried two different demos on two different machines. I've tried with pendings set properly for 10.4 and just as a test i've setup pendings close to current price action (to re-create the problem on demand). I've compiled everything to use Magic#0 so manual set trades can be picked up by the ITM too properly.

I've tried turning off all the extra options like Zelko and such. Also tested turning off the AO exit. Whether i force a fill by setting a pending near price action (just to test this problem) or waiting for a legit fill for 10.4 the ITM closes the trade within 1-2 seconds after filled. It did not do this in the last version which i was using the same settings. I've deleted that version though so i can't go back.

Anyone else seen this problem? This is with no other trades open whatsoever and with Cowboy IBFX US std demo.

Here is the sequence for a test (this was just a test):
2013.03.04 16:58:29 10.4 Individual Trade Manager GBPUSD,H4: modify #195083602 sell stop 0.03 GBPUSD at 1.51225 sl: 1.54700 tp: 0.00000 ok
2013.03.04 16:59:15 10.4 Individual Trade Manager GBPUSD,H4: modify #195083602 sell 0.03 GBPUSD at 1.51225 sl: 1.54700 tp: 1.49363 ok
2013.03.04 16:59:16 10.4 Individual Trade Manager GBPUSD,H4: close #195083602 sell 0.03 GBPUSD at 1.51225 sl: 1.54700 tp: 1.49363 at price 1.51253

Update: I tested another broker (FXDD US) and the same problem.

I haven't.

Instead, I have problems with ITM trying to reset the tp following a click-and-drag - loads of error-but-no-error messages.

Hey ho. This will all be sorted out in time, but time is what it will take.
