With previous versions I tuned off the EA and used a closeall script to close all my positions and then turned the ea back on. I just did that with 2.0 and now I'm solidly crashing if I try to change TF to jog the EA to make a display.
=(

Nevermind.......It said the EA was corrupted and needed to be recompiled. I did and it works now. :shock:

Thank you MrLong for version 2.0. The ea is trading beautifully this morning.

I loaded the ea at London open today OOTB, and the account is up 3.3 %.


Cheers,

The lock-in feature's so effective I feel that fixed per-trade TP levels are actually becoming superfluous.

Hi Slipshod,

How do you check to see if the % trailing stop is working ?

It is really incredible, the Cowboy IBFX 10K demo just closed when 5% gain reached.

Well done, MrLong and many others who contributed to this ea.

In the summary line on the dashboard, under the rows of pairs being traded and above the Delete/Close buttons, there's Locked %. That's how much is locked in, and if you're watching while the market moves in your favour you can see it increase correctly.

Hi Mr Long,

Absolutely brilliant work. Thanks for sharing!

Here's my suggestion for fitting on the screen

make mainCellHeight an extern

Code: Select all

int   headCellHeight = 2,      // in lines
      footCellHeight = 2;
extern int    mainCellHeight = 35;
then at the start of init

Code: Select all

      tbRemoveAll(hwnd);   
   CloseAllButtonY       =  (12 + headCellTop + (headCellHeight + mainCellHeight + footCellHeight) * rFontSize);

   btnRefresh = tbPutObject(hwnd, "button", 715 , CloseAllButtonY, 155, 20, "Refresh Grid");
   btnCloseAll = tbPutObject(hwnd, "button", 890 , CloseAllButtonY, 155, 20, "Close All Open"); // hwnd,type,x,y,w,h,label
   btnDeletePending = tbPutObject(hwnd, "button", 1065 , CloseAllButtonY, 155, 20, "Delete Pending");
This way by adjusting the mainCellHeight everything will be visible
Alternatively you could set mainCellHeight = (number of pairs)

Hi Slipshod,

Many thanks.

I am using a 14.6 " laptop, hence cannot see the bottom of the screen where the delete/close buttons are. Never mind.

Cheers,
peter

Peter, no worries hopefully Andy has a chance to move the row up to the top (along with the buttons) for the next version. Nice going with your 5% target being hit - my Cowboy IBFX only went 2% before retracing and hitting the % trailer, and is again at another 2% profit now with 1.2% locked in & I've had it running since early Sydney session. Not complaining mind you, profit is profit!

Mr Long,

should showDisplay be used in refreshGrid?

Code: Select all

void refreshGrid()
{
   if (showDisplay)
   {
      if ( GridMethod < 1 )  // simplex
      {			
         UpdateGrid();
      }
      else
      {
         DisplayGrid();
      }
   }
}

Hello

Yes, if we are not displaying then there is no point refreshing the grid.
