I loaded 1.08 version on 2 broker platforms, but so far did not even place pending orders. Running all day now. The other one on FXCM does not even work properly the "correlated pairs " section is just blank. Nothing comes up.
Global Prime looks OK with the setup, but no pending orders all day. 1.07 still works well and running smoothly.

If any of you have a working and successful set file on 1.08, please post it here or list your settings.

Thanks
Frank
I have 1.08 running with OOB settings for the last 12 hours and it has 4 pending at the moment...
I've had it running on two fresh Empty4 installs for the last 12 hours, one using RSI (OOB) and the other Stoch. Neither have placed any pending trades, and the Type & Trend columns are empty except for on AUDJPY where it says Long and UT. Not sure what the problem is :\

Edit: Just loaded 1.07 on one of the blank installs - again no trades. Loaded 1.06 and it places a long on AUDJPY but that's all. Perhaps its just how the market was today & its working as it should?

Hi slipshod,

Have you tried it with this setting set to false?
extern bool useBoundryFilter =true;

Andy
I think maybe a history problem, no enough bars for the Adr.

Drop this alert at about line 400 and recompile, should get readings greater than zero's

Alert(CurrentPair,", ",Adr);

Thanks

Andy, useBoundryFilter makes no difference I'm afraid.

The Alert produces a positive number for each pair, so that's not the cause.

It wouldn't explain why 1.07 and 1.06 aren't trading either...

Happy to wait and see how it goes next week. Besides, its very dangerous entering new trades Friday ;)

Umm, if I delete all the pending from my system, they are replaced straight away with:

GBPJPY, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAGUSD.

I'm not sure what's happening then. My demos are on 2 different Cowboy IBFX accounts, a MIG Capital account and a Bully Pepperstone, none of them with any pendings today. The Cowboy IBFX have existing trades running from earlier, the MIG and Peppers don't.

Can you try a demo on Alpari(UK), works for me.

Attached is the server file, drop it into you Empty4/config folder, then just select alpari for your broker while opening a new account.

You'll need to unzip the file.

Try turning this switch to false: extern bool deletePending = true;

Line 180, if your in AUS, this will delete your orders because it is past 18:00 hours :D :D

Andy, I know it is early in the process but I was wondering if you have a rough draft on what each of the variables do? Or did I miss that on some previous post?

Thanks...

The EA has been doing great on my live microlots account, and has increased equity by 10% from London open till 11 am London time when I closed all the trades manually.

Restart again at 12 midday. Will be interesting to see the result at London close.

Everything OOTB. No issues with CPU overload. No bugs to report.

I would expect a great deal more interest in this thread in no time.

Many congratulations again on your great effort and generosity.

peter.

At London close today, the live microlot account is in the red by less than 0.05% of equity. It was up almost 2% from 12 midday to 3 pm, then retracements brought the account into negative territory. I have closed the pair in profit and leave three pairs to run. All in all, it has been a very positive day, not something I can say about other ea's I have tried before. From tomorrow, I will use Steve's MPTM to prevent a winning trade turn into a losing one (BE25+10 JS10).

I have also set up a demo on Cowboy IBFX 10K risk 2% and leaving it to run 24/7. It was launched at 12 midday today, the results attached below. As you can see, it was up 1.25% of equity balance at one stage but was in the red at London close. I have now added MPTM BE25+10 JS10.
.................................
Peter,
I am also following this EA with a similar strategy to yours with micro live Axi on a vps and 10k risk 2%demo on GKFX. I have followed NB strats for 2 yrs and look for strats that I can mange at weekend and an hour at London close during the week- heavy day job. I have also seen results 8% from last Friday retrace to 4% by mid week. Some quick questions.
1. Do you edit the pairs being traded and remove any like e.g Gold ! which I have never had much success with apart from on my finger.
2. Do you use any discretionary or indicators for S&R / TLs to influence the trade strategy on this EA or just rely on the Pivots?
3. Using Steve's MPTM - to avoid equity curve retracement thanks for the tip I assume keep stealth on - comment?
4. Have you done any single pair back testing on this EA?
Thanks Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,

Answers to your questions :

1. No, but so far no pending orders on gold or silver.

2. No, everything OOTB.

3. Only started using MPTM after London close yesterday.

4. No.

Launched v.1.07 at London open today, so far two open trades, GJ and AJ, both in profit. Yesterday, the remaining two pairs were closed at BE.

So far, this EA shows great promise. The only thing that is missing is stacking the trades, but I am very content at just taking profit at WR1/WS1 for the moment. I could easily add pending orders manually for stacking using the drop_pending_buy/sell scripts.

The Cowboy IBFX DEMO which I adopt a hands off approach, is not doing so well. So far, it is down 2.6% of account balance. It is early days, so need to reassess after more testing.

The EA is ideal for someone holding a full time job, and besides, the dashboard is well suited to someone wishing to trade manually. All in all, a great EA.

I have decided to stick to v.1.07, as using TmaTrue RSI(2) does use up more cpu resources. I am presently running v.1.07 on two Empty4 platforms on my laptop and so far with no problems.

Good luck with your trading.

peter

Edit : GJ and AJ longs closed manually for 4% of account balance profit. I really like Bob's idea of taking profits 2 to 3 hours into each trading session. Now, waiting for Wall Street open.

I'm going to do that ASAP, I also need to tidy the external variables, so they are easy to access, I have commented at the side of the variables, just have a browse for now, anything your not sure about just ask.
