was trying Fratelli manually last 3 days with very good results, and today started also demo of this EA. EA just took a valid trade on EU; after reaching 10 pips profit EA moved SL to -10 correctly, but then it started to produce following error messages:
2011.11.23 16:43:10 Fratelli EA_v.1 EURUSD-fx,M10: Setting of SL EURUSD-fx ticket no 35611473 failed with error (1): no error
This message appeared about 10 times, but seems that there is not a major problem with it, it's just a bit annoying

Then after 15 pips profit EA moved SL to BE +1, and then trailing was activated. Trade was closed by trailing at +21 pips.

Overall EA looks very good as it precise follows the rules; and manually Fratelli seems succesfull. So many thanks for EA and I will keep testing tomorrow. The only thing I would like to add to the EA is partial TP.

Good to hear, the error is a non important one and later on i'll open a thread and post a fixed version that doesnt produce the annoying messages. It stems from a bug in the original code used to create this EA, Steve has since fixed this (i think) in his latest shell EA, but i shall check t make sure.

Nice work Dragos, good to see the trailing is working as it should.

In the light of today's changes, latest update in this post. Was having in mind to do so many OTHER things today, but I decided to readjust this one. Improvements into this version: 1.Trades according to the latest system rules(if they not changing until morning ) 2.Trade management EXACTLY as in original strategy - if profit +10, moves SL at -10, BE at 15 with BEP +1, TS from +16 up. 3.Added option to extend TP. If price goes into green pips, at TS/2 from TP, TP is extended with TS value, so, new TP is old TP+TS. 4.Added option to choose for how many subsequent candles a White Arrow signal is valid, before invalidated.You can set this using "bars" input, I suggest 6. 5.I can confirm it does trade on M10 offline chart, using latest indi that Mike has posted. I think that's all, have fun! P.S. You still need SuperTrend and MACD_colored indi's for this...

Cubo, how did u setup the EA ? I am having problems with the TP/ SL managment. It's taking the trade correctly, but the MPTM features don't seem to work correctly. thanks kubo207 wrote:Hi, was trying Fratelli manually last 3 days with very good results, and today started also demo of this EA.

No, no, the error comes from the routine I added to move tha damn SL at -10. Was a bit tired last night and haven't found a better logic to do this. Ea checks this every time SL< Opening price AND Bid = Opening price + 10 (for a BUY). So, if stop was already moved, but conditions met again, then comes the error. Also, I've noticed that if you set TS at the same value as BE (15 pips), the routine of SL adjusting is aborted, can't understand why, maybe Mike can see the bloop... Any greater value than 15 works fine. Thanks, Mike.

Tex, I use following values and works fine: BE = 15; BEP = 1; AddBEP= true; EarlySLAdjust= true; EarlySLValue=10; //calculates this value for both (price - SL) and (price - OrderOpenPrice) TS = 16; AlsoManageMartingaleTrades= true;// needed, even if you don't use Martingale Everything else disabled, JS and hidden stuff.

By the way, Mike, Have seen somewhere in one of Steve's threads a talk about EA managing the open orders after the trading hours window(outside of it). Can't find again that post, and have no ideea how to input that.
