Hi Steve Assuming suggested reason for immediate deletion of open orders is correct, I have slightly tweaked your ReadIndicatorValues() function to amend the logic so a wavy line detection is ignored if it occurs on the same candle as a Trend or Range signal. The wavy lines will still show on the chart because it is displaying from the indicator, but the EA will know to ignore the wavy lines and give preference to the Trend or Range signal. Hope this allows you time for another cup of coffee in the morning. If not, please do chuck it away and code something more all encompassing All the best Jeff Code: Select all

Hi everyone, Steve and the people you work with; you have a new fan! The speed at which you work is admirable. When will you go on a well deserved vacation? Here is a little update on my progress with the EA. I should mention that I still use version 1J of the EA, because in my opinion the added features like the ADR closure are additional. (I will update to the latest version of the EA at a later time). From Friday to Monday night the EA made over 19% ROI on a 15 minute timeframe with a max DD of 5.1%. However it gave, after a great start today, approximately 13% back to the market. And what struck me is that the EA is even on a day like this very often correct with positioning it's trades, which is fantastic! I do not know if we are already ready for this phase in the progress. But I would like to make a suggestion for profitability security. I'm pretty new on the website, but if I can remember well you are using some sort of a basket closure system for some of your EA's. After the experience of today, among other things, it might be a good idea to close all the open trades and pending orders when a certain profit expressed as a percentage is gained. And after this process you just let the beast (EA) get back to work. Thanks for your time. Enjoy your whiskey and maybe one day I can send you a bottle of Macallan 1939 because of the effort of guys like you. My sincere respect, The Wolf. |

Hi Wolf Look into Steve's (or others) trade managers (http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... ?f=21&t=64). |

I think most of us are seeing this. Imagine being new here and starting HGB at the top end of the retrace. Wolf, I am going to adopt your idea of shutting up shop for the day once a certain percentage of profit is hit; this will be a user input. So, StopTradingAtProfitPercent = ? Please post your suggestions for the default value. |

What about a percentage based, basket jumping stop? So once 10% is achieved jump overall stop to 5%, 10%, 15% profit etc. Keep up the great work Steve! Lot's of pips, now just need to hold on to them! |

Another possible feature could be to kill all trades not in profit after x hours. weeding out bad trades, keeping the winners. |

5% would be nice. I would suggest to also make a $-value entry, since the amount of UP is depending on the lotsize rather that the accountsize. I trade 0.01x$1.000,- so 5% would be $50,- to start. After a while, when balance is $1.900,- the same size trades would have to chuck in $95,- to be closed by this feature. V1s rocks, now upload the newer version. |
