Hi Pippo,

I have backtested this one, and it does what it has to do (close orders, and stop trading).

Take a look and tell me.

When viewing this result it is important to keep in mind that output from Empty4 strat tester is, in the opinion of many, less than completely trustworthy.

Pippo:

Is that OOTB?

If no, could you post the set file?

Firstly, I commend you for picking up this thread and revitalizing it. Great job.

I am going through the code to figure out how the recovery and hedge works. Was looking at this function and found that the handling of Buys and Sells is not symetrical. Take a look. I believe that both should be set to TRUE in this function. Look for "////////////////////".

Just a nit: Also - as noted these variables are set as externs and initialize = false. Probably should just be global vars initialized.



void CalculateTradeClosureLine( int type )
{
close_trade_at_gold = false;// No need to be an extern
close_trade_at_green = false;// No need to be an extern
close_trade_at_middle_white = false;// No need to be an extern
close_box_trade_at_magenta = false;// No need to be an extern
close_box_trade_at_gold = false;// No need to be an extern
trail_box_trade_at_magenta = false;// No need to be an extern
trail_box_trade_at_gold = false;// No need to be an extern

//Low
if( type == OP_BUY )
{
if( rsi_val <= 45 )
{
close_trade_at_gold = true;
close_box_trade_at_gold = true;
}
if( rsi_val > 45 && rsi_val < 55 )
{
close_trade_at_green = true;
close_box_trade_at_magenta = true;
}
if( rsi_val >= 55 )
{
close_trade_at_middle_white = true;
trail_box_trade_at_gold = true; ///////////////////////////////

I have noted since day 1 with this BOT that Magenta line closure style will always be Auto Calc'd regardless of setting(i.e., I have...close trade at gold selected, but EA will auto calc anyway). Does that have anything to do with the extern/global var issue you referred to above? Any Ideas for remedy? ...BTW, Usd/Chf still stubbornly unrepentant...

Hi Pippo,

try these version. I have corrected the AutoCalc. If you choose AutoCalc false, you must select a line for closing.
