Exactly the pairs giving '0' for the MA can't get their history downloaded...


CADCHF
EURJPY
GBPCHF
NZDCAD
NZDUSD
USDCAD
Managed to download history by scrolling each TF back a few times.
Now waiting for trades to happen...

Squish the individual charts as tight as you can, turn off chart shift and autoscroll, hit 'home' a few times, then right mouse and Refresh. Works for me.

All this may have driven you nuts, but it has served a useful purpose in prompting me to do something I have been meaning to do for some time - add code to tell users when there is a problem with insufficient bars in the chart history.

My latest bots have always run a check on the number of bars in the chart history, but then simply sulked without saying why they are sulking. I have added code to V 1i in post 1, to inform us and then remove itself from the chart to avoid danger.

You do not need the update if your current version is working happily; make sure you redownload if you do a fresh platform installation.

Is there a bug with this ea? I am using v1g. Lot preset to 0.01 and risk percent set to 2.0. Timeframe set to 15 min and Trading TF = 240.

Same things happened today after updated to v1h, short 6 EU. Weird. I am running demo on VPS. I have also installed LibOrderReliable before this happened.

This bloody platform is starting to drive me even further to drink than I was already heading.

What is left of my sanity requires is:
  • a utility that automatically converts the other charts to the format of the one it is dragged on to. Note not one that demands that we identify chart 0 - we already have that one and it doesn't work. Just one that when dragged onto a chart cries, "Ehup guys. Let's convert all the other charts on this crapform to look just like me. Time to party." And does the damn job.
  • a utility that forces the crapform to sort our charts so that their tabs are in alphabetical order. The sort of thing that a child would include with even the most basic piece of software but which appears to be missing from CrapBloodyT4.

Kudos to you Steve for making these 2 very basic yet oddly important points.

Both would be a dream come true!

Hang on Steve - I'll join you!! :party:

I had a Empty4 display odd behaviours two days ago. So I closed & re-opened it. Noticed a flicker & thought "Oh NO!!". A minute late it came up. Checked & it is now build 711 (27 Sept). This is with Alpari UK for those who are rightly concerned. The computer is "older" & still running XP. No warning just changed. At least it was a day later than one of my **LIVE** platforms with Axitrader broker. That is also on the same XP machine (only used on odd occasion for trade management overnight).

I wanted to change my MPTM settings for FB from 2% to 1% for the basket closure. I made the change and as soon as I clicked "OK" the terminal hung. I waited about 2 minutes & then killed it. Opened Empty4 again, tried the same change to 1 input & hung again. So I went & had lunch. Still hung when I got back about 25 minutes later!! :arrrg: I have also tried this on the other 'updated' platform with the same result.

If I turn OFF AutoTrading, then make changes to MPTM EA, then turn AutoTrading back ON it seems happy & doesn't hang the terminal. :roll: But I don't know if MPTM is working correctly or not. Rather, I should say, I don't know whether Empty4 is allowing MPTM to do it's job!!

I am trading 26 pairs - 13 on each of 2 CrapT4s. So I moved MPTM to the other, non-updated platform & tried it. Ran as smooth as usual, allowing all changes without any sign of hanging the terminal.

So WARNING guys - the new downgrade of Empty4 looks to be WORSE than the rubbish it is replacing.
:arrrg: :arrrg:

Cheers,
Mick

Does the "Trading hours" function work as intended? I'm in Australia, and I set it to +15.00,-02.00 (meaning on at 3pm, off at 2am my local time).

I am intending to trade in the European and early US sessions. But during that time, I get a screen display "OUTSIDE TRADING HOURS Will continue to monitor open trades".

Something's wrong. Can anyone help please?
