Ok, deletePending is false, Alpari installed.

v1.06 creates 3 pending longs on AUDJPY, GBPJPY and USDJPY
v1.07 has 2 empty columns for TYPE & TREND, and no trades
v1.08 shows Long/UT for AUDJPY, GBPJPY, USDCAD, USDJPY, but no trades

v1.08 OOTB ?

extern bool UseRSIInsteadOfStoch = true;// Use Stoch or RSI
extern bool useBoundryFilter =false;
extern bool UseSR2 = true; //R2/S2 <== change mine to this
extern bool deletePending = false;

With those settings above I get:
LONG TRADES, AUDJPY, AUDNZD, GBPJPY, USDCAD, USDJPY.

SHORT TRADES XAGUSD

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

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
Andy,

Tried your suggestion. Made no difference on the account which does not show anything from the Pro: column to B-even column. The rest is showing and looks like it is working but as I said no pending trades all day. This is on the FXCM account.

The Global Prime account is OK with the identical settings. All columns are displaying what it has to show. But like the other broker, this also did not place any pending orders all day. Started at the same time.

If I switch off the RSI option, then I will revert back to the same as version 1.07 and that is not the purpose of this test.
Wanted to see how the RSI setting will make any difference.

Hi Frank,

1.08 is a lot different from 1.07, not just RSI, does it work ok with STOCH?

Andy, what exactly does the variable "useBoundryFilter" do?

Thanks...

Andy, tried your settings - sorry, still no trades. Switching between RSI & Stoch makes no difference either.

IIt works out the boundaries based on the Average Daily Range for the ma 240, if price is outside adr x 2 then the EA won't take a trade, you can vary the setting, X 2.00 looked ok to me, and also works out the inner boundary, don't take a trade if the price of the pending order is closer than Adr X 0.25, also buffer pips Adr X 0.05, this is what is added to the pending price.

Better than just having a fixed number, because all pairs have different ranges,

You can view the settings for each pair by turning on: extern bool alertPipBoundrySettings =false;, to true, then recompile, you should, notice I say should, because nothing surprises me with MT anymore, get the alert box appear, with all the settings, then just turn off the switch and recompile.

If you don't like the settings, either change them or switch it off.

Hi slipshod,

I'm going to have to have a think about it, mine works perfect, attached are trades running from when I setup the EA, last night GMT.

Compiled code will be the same, so I cannot understand what's happening.

I'm so glad when ever I get a chance to give tips to F.T's. But here at SHF, in the midst of Brains Trust, :D

Go to the relevant Empty4, F4, compile, terminal. Check navigator ! :o

Waiting for the next version of optimized code already. :lol:

;)

Ya got me there! Nice to know! Thanks!

I have these pendings on FXDD - but the comment section seems to not be working on this new version - it worked fine on the previous version (so I can easily tell which version the trades were taken with) I also put gold, silver, oil and a few others in the ignore list...

On Cowboy IBFX there is only a cadjpy pending...
