A rather disappointing day for DIBS MOD with Rsi. It was up 5.6% of equity in the morning, only to fall back in the afternoon, and ended the day unchanged i.e. 3% gain.

The DIBS SUPDEM EA has not yet taken any trades for both the H1 and H4 demo.

Hi fx8000,

I would suggest a little modify at the code. I noticed that often the EA doesn't fail a trade with error 130 invalid stop. This because sometimes the stoplevel of some pairs , e.g. audndz, is high and the EA set a price not far enought .

With these two rows I solved the problem:

Code: Select all

   //Long 
   if (direction == up)
   {
      if (!TradeLong) return;
      price = NormalizeDouble(BarHigh + spread + (PlusOne * Point), Digits);
      if (TakeProfit > 0) take = NormalizeDouble(Ask + (TakeProfit * Point), Digits);
      stop = NormalizeDouble(BarLow, Digits);
// ************** modify to avoid stoplevel error ***********************
      double stoplevelprice = Bid -  NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)-20, Digits);
      if ( stoplevelprice < stop) stop = stoplevelprice;
// ************** end modify to avoid  stoplevel error ***********************
      type = OP_BUYSTOP;
      SendTrade = true;
   }//if (direction == up)
   

   //Short
   if (direction == down)
   {
      if (!TradeShort) return;
      price = NormalizeDouble(BarLow - spread - (PlusOne * Point), Digits);
      if (TakeProfit > 0) take = NormalizeDouble(Bid - (TakeProfit * Point), Digits);
      stop = NormalizeDouble(BarHigh, Digits);
// ************** modify to avoid  stoplevel error ***********************
      stoplevelprice = Ask +  NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)+20, Digits);
      if ( stoplevelprice > stop) stop = stoplevelprice;
// ************** end modify to avoid  stoplevel error ***********************

fx800, this thread is in the wrong place.

I shall give it a couple of days to let late-comers/sleepyheads catch up with my pm (otherwise they whinge at me about the link being broken), then move it up a notch to where it really belongs in the Automated trading section.

Ok with you?

:D

Hi Jjgengis,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have very very limited knowledge of coding and besides, this is still Steve's ea. I shall leave it to Steve to decide whether your suggestion should be implemented.

I think you are referring to the Dibs ea mod which Steve has helped to add Rsi filter to i.e the second post on page 1.

Cheers,
Peter.

How the hell should I know?

You might have missed from some of my other posts in this forum and so have missed that I am in a foul mood tonight - mostly caused by trying to stay afloat in the quicksands of some other dipstick's constantly changing demands, so sorry if I am not as sympathetic as normal.

You made the mods that you have published - all I did was sort out some of the resulting chaos.

After reading about your successful ventures, I decided to set up my own demo but then found out that I did not know which version of the bot to use - yours in post 1 of my subsequent fix. In the end, I went with my fix because it was exactly that. For all I know, yours in post 1 has surpassed that, but there is nothing in this thread that I saw to say yay or nay to this.

I have directed others here. How are they supposed to know which version to download? Yours? Mine? Someone elses? Tossing a coin? Ritually sacrificing a few more of Whip's chickens - boy but they must hate knowing there is activity in this forum.

Get a grip fella. You started this thread and so have some responsibility for the direction it takes. Do something with your post 1 that tells visitors what you are up to. And sort out some of the code for yourself instead of waiting for others to do it for you.

Hi JJ

Further to my last post regarding the above subject, I have added your modification to the ea to avoid stoplevel error.

Update in post 1.

Thanks.

I apologize for the mistake, but the "20" must be "0.0002", or "20" must be multplied for point (20*point).

Code: Select all

 stoplevelprice = Ask +  NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_STOPLEVEL)+( 20 * point) , Digits);

Sorry!
