Nope Spider....this was the only GBPUSD position, there was a gap of app. 30 pips, not sure if this caused it.

Hi,

GAP will cause issues...but not sure if it could result in what you experienced...
That is strange.

Cheers

Thanks for the ALR Spider,
I post link below using with John F's, MTF manual system, it works very well with the positions that move the wrong way and ends with small profit as you and Dewey predicted, so far it has not taken a lot of the account to complete the exercise.
Cdt,
Tony

Not sure what happened there.

Settings 15pips TP / 5pips ALR

It looks like the 0.83 lot split in 2 orders 0.33 and 0.50. I can see a couple of flat candles on 1M chart.
Then the 0.50 order dropped and the 1.11 lot is now pending.

Not sure either.
Quite certain there is no super advanced function in the EA to split order.
Maybe the broker is unable to fill the full order at that price and split it.
...but on DEMO ? :?

That's what I thought, the sequence shows the 0.83 lot filled and the 1.11 pending :?

It's so funny, the 2 flat candles are exactly between the sell/stop lines. Not very funny actually....

Hi guys,

Just tried to install the EA on an account ,new Windows 8 laptop. I already experienced downloaded indicators will not work if the platform is installed in program files, now working fine, but, I can not get the EA running. I placed it in the MQL4 file / experts. Any idea's?

thanks L

The account history shows a 0.50 pending order at 10:41, however I remember the lot was 0.83
I'm quite sure all happened due to the 2 flat candles at 10:54

Three quick tips to prevent your head from exploding whilst attempting to use Empty4...

1. Never, never, never, never ever install Empty4 into Pogrom Files, (or Pogrom Files (x86)), but, you already know that ;)

2. From within Empty4, select File --> Open Data Folder... Windows Exploder will open up, and you should see either these folders, (config, history, logs, MQL4, (and a few others), or these ones, (Experts, Files, Images, Include, (and a few others) in the right-hand panel... If you see MQL4 in the right-hand panel, open that folder, and you will find the Experts folder within that... Once you've found the Experts folder, open that up, and drop the EA in there, and Bob's yer uncle! (Well, in my case, he's my old man (father)) ;)

3. Always, always, always edit your shortcuts to Empty4 so that the target points to...
"<Your HardDrive>:\<Your Empty4 installation folder>\terminal.exe /portable" before your first run of a fresh installation, so everything our Empty4 installation needs lives somewhere within your Empty4 installation folder. If you have any progs that can open Empty4, you need to add the /portable commandline switch in their setup, (TickStory requires this, whilst "Walk Forward Analyzer for Empty4" by Easy Expert Forex forces this (last time I checked, anyways).

If you want to use the /portable switch for your current installation(s), you first have to...

1. Run it without the portable switch...

2. Select File --> Open Data Folder...

3. Make sure you can see the following folders in the right-hand panel, config, history, logs, MQL4, (and a few others), then select them all, and copy them.

4. Close Empty4.

5. Browse to that Empty4's installation folder, and paste the folders that you copied in step 3 into the installation folder. Just make sure you've selected the correct installation folder, 'cos you're going to over-write everything.

6. Now change all shortcuts to that installation by adding "/portable" (without the quotes) to the end of the Target entry.

Oh, and btw, doing all that is a hell of a lot faster than typing it ;)

Have fun!

Indeed very frustrating.....

I will follow your steps and then hope to run the Empty4 smoothly with a nice criminal broker hahaha
