Thanks greyfox. Nice spot.

Balls V 1l and Wolfie's Balls V 1d are in post 1, with the fix.

Hi all,
okay, v1d Wolfie up and running, no errors and so is Balls v1l.

Thought to point something out here, I have kept v1g running on the same 3 charts as i run the new v1l. For those who remember Joe spotted the blooper making balls go the wrong way.
Here's a classic example where we have two contrasting positions on the same pair. Whats interesting is the time the positions were taken, nearly 50 min apart and both EA's are on the exact same settings, and same platform, so they getting the same ticks.

I would expect K, (now L) to have the right direction.
my time setting was set to 10 (gmt+2) on my local PC. my criminal is at gmt so they trade gets ready at 8 for my crim. check the time the trades were placed,. Just food for thought if any one can follow my jibberish, but maybe its too early to tell.

In a nutshell, L would take the same position at two different times in the hour, which validates the direction twice. The fact that g is going the wrong way, but its now the winning position.??
I've waited for the majority of the day to see when the trend will turn, but holiday in US so that might be a sign why trend has not gone in favour for new Balls.

Its the first time i noticed this so we'll have to check this as we go along. might be a once off situation.

Also, Wolfie v1c was making hasty opens and closes. After starting v1d, he did the same, so i've upped my HTF to 60M for slope and 30M for the fractal.

Will report if anything changes.
regards
cuz

Glenn

What time-frame are you using for Fractals? and can you explain what you mean by Stoch essentially disabled?

Thanks, JP

I am using the one min. window, so the fractals default to that. The slope setting is 15 for the htf.
The standard stoch setting blocks any trades that exceed 50% for long trades or those that are less than 50% for short trades. I looked at a number of very good trading opportunities that were ever so slightly outside this range, and were blocked. I went into the code, where a moron like me should never tread, and did a Control-F search for StochMain. For the long trades I changed the 50 to 80. For the short trades I changed the 50 to 20. I do not know if this change has legs or not, but it makes sense to me. I include my altered Wolfie and my setfile.
Two trades do not make a cake. I cannot recommend these changes.
Regards, Glenn

Hello All,

I loaded up Wolfie. It entered multiple trades today, but immediately closed them all for a loss of the spread. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

William: Try to load some hstory using this script by Matt Kennell. Drag it onto a single chart and wait just a little. The slope (and presumably the angle) requires some data to be onboard to calculate.
