Thanks for the info...on my notebook i have no problem to launch EA correctly with the latest TJF setfile...but when i try it on the new Empty4 on my VPS, i get this error...script with history download was executed there, but no luck

2016.10.10 13:20:32.758 MADDY_CSS_HGI_Trader5.17Draft EURUSD,H1: zero divide in 'MADDY_CSS_HGI_Trader5.17Draft.mq4' (2951,53)

and the second problem is this - when i try to put it on the account with no USD currency, the lot size is no correct. when i try it on 200000 CZK (aprox 8000 USD) it want to open lots bigger than 10


Hi!
You are correct. All other indicators are already coded into the EA.
But if you want to follow up a specific symbol on a separate chart and see the graphs of the used indicators then you will need that separate.

It handles trades according to the MagicNumber.

Make sure the symbols are available in your Market Watch.

Then regarding the lotSize, it is based on your account currency, so you may need to adjust the Factor so that it conforms to your situation.

lotSizeInternal = ((AccountBalance()/1000)/trueATR)*LotFactor

In your situation you need to adjust LotFactor to a low value, try eg 0.04.

I have made a few adjustments for this week now too. I have updated with Mathias' latest draft and reduced the number of pairs slightly to 19. I have also reduced the risk slightly from 2% to 1.5% per H4 ATR and also reduced the basket TP from 1% to 0.75% to match. I have also now set the basket SL at -15%

I have added M5 HGI signals as trade trigger to see whether this helps or narrows it down too much. My aim is to try and find a bit more precision on entries and keep the max drawdown under 10% regardless of news.

Here is my set file which will startup again after 00:00GMT
... first basket closed with my new settings. It took a while but drawdown stayed low. I noticed I had some errors with my session times again so corrected here and screenshot shows them (GMT)

... passing the time waiting for some market movement this afternoon I've setup another test for fun.

M15 Diff and Delta only and up to 10 trades per pair! Vs:
M5HGI Trend signal and Delta only and up to 10 trades per pair!

I lowered the basket TP to 0.25% for this.. and kept the SL at -15% for each.

Round 1 already gone to M15DiffDelta.. M5HGI now playing catchup..

It's fun to watch and both together on a #500 demo account so will it make the end of the week without a margin call? let's see :mrgreen:

I've ended this experiment now as the M5HGI Trend and Delta was just building huge drawdown and had only managed to close 1 basket. Interestingly M15 Diff and Delta managed 15.

I wanted a reality check on how much difference the extra timeframe filters make and this was a fun test to see. The fact is the as expected the filters make a big difference.. and when the market is just ranging going knowwhere they stop the basket growing which is what we need.

My M15,H1,H4 diff and delta with M5 HGI all signals as trigger is performing well. It has kept the drawdown a bit lower this week so far which is what I was looking for.

Already +8% for this week so looks like we could be on for +20% again by the end :yahoo:

How is everyone else getting on?
