Yep I've got the right file name in the inputs but no trades happening..no errors or other warnings it's quite strange
try the attached one, maybe it will fix your problem, as there was some code that could cause with latest builds that indicator was removed if you had not enough bars on chart..

Cheers

Still not taking any trades with that version not sure what's up

Yes, I had a similar problem. No one trade for 2 days. On the news there was an error 130.

Help understand the reason for the lack of trade. Set from this post: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 10#p145885
Bars in history 550. Lastest HGI. History data downloaded ...
Thank you.

Thank you.

This EA does not trade every day. It trades when the conditions to trade are met. I've had 4 trading days on GJ since 9th September and boy does it pick em well.

GJ is fully hedged and +$333.I am waiting to see if the bot handles the closure correctly if we get a buy signal. He will replace Dottybot on my live account if he does.

Very nice TJ, that on default settings?

Hi TJ, amazing results!! I noticed that the set file you shared has Trading time frame H1, but on your screenshot the Trading time frame is M5. Which is the correct Trading time frame? Please advise. Thank you

Bob

In Steve's bots if you see the trading timeframe is hardcoded, it means the timeframe of the chart is irrelevent as the harcoded timeframe in the inputs takes priority

Well spotted actually as I made a mistake and uploaded my previous set file where I was using H1 as trading timeframe. This also works well but M5 is more aggressive and that is what I am using right now. Sorry for any confusion.

I really do like this bot.

Here is a lesson about over leveraging... I had increased the lot size to 0.01 per £300 to see if could stay afloat but that brought a margin call today and a small loss as a result so I have changed back to 0.01 per £500 which may still be too much but hey that's what demo testing is for.

These errors occurred approximately 2 hours after rollover.
