Can you guys confirm that you are using Market orders as that is the OOTB setting, as I remember reading that pending orders were doing well? I assume market orders are just doing better!

Thanks,
Dave.

That is accidental. Use pending orders.

I'm with Steve on this one.
I left it on market orders because I was curious to see how it performs, and so far it's doing really well, but it's starting to run into drawdown. I went from a max drawdown of 61 pips this morning to around 230 pips half an hour ago. Let's see how it turns out.

Art, I'm running it on H4, OOTB on 26 pairs (all the Global Prime demo pairs, except EURGBP & EURCHF) and I've had 28 trades so far.

Also the pendingorder demo went into some DD today, I've had 642 pips in the red today. Have had some full-SL [100pips] as well, but still up 330 pips this week.

From last wednesday till now 74 trades, of which 9 are still running.

Hi Steve, I need your help to change the Exits based on Stoch reaching 90/10. I have worked out the following codes, for example, to close a buy trade only when Stoch rises above threshold 90 from below and falls below it.

I also like to use multiple Stoch thresholds for exit. For this purpose, I've added the user input UseMultipleStochClose and cross and re-cross of Stoch levels 80 and 70 for exit.

However, these codes do not seems to work properly, could you kindly help me to identity where I have gone wrong ?
Thanks !

Code: Select all

---------------------------------------------

//Stoch ob
      if ((StochVal[1] > CloseBuysAt) && (StochVal[0] <= CloseBuysAt)) // to exit only when threshold 90 is re-hit 
         CloseThisTrade = true;
         
      if (UseMultipleStochClose=true)
       if ((StochVal[1] > (CloseBuysAt-10)) && (StochVal[0] <= (CloseBuysAt-10))) // to exit only when threshold 80 is re-hit
         CloseThisTrade = true;  
         
      if (UseMultipleStochClose=true)
       if ((StochVal[1] > (CloseBuysAt-20)) && (StochVal[0] <= (CloseBuysAt-20))) // to exit only when threshold 70 is re-hit 
         CloseThisTrade = true; 
-----------------------------------------------

Thanks Steve for the really great EA! Love it, I had within a day 5% on my first Demo.

I saw that with the default settings, I only got two entries when the trade went from 0 to 100 on the Stoch.
As an example : EURCAD 17Nov ~0700Am it went from 0 to ~100 Stoch (5,3,3)

Hello friends,

I think there is a little bug in the OnInit() section of the code referred to the followiong lines:

Code: Select all

   if (TradeComment == "") TradeComment = " ";
   if (Buy30Comment == "") Buy30Comment = "Buy30";
   if (Buy20Comment == "") Buy20Comment = "Buy20";
   if (Buy10Comment == "") Buy10Comment = "Buy10";
   if (Sell90Comment == "") Sell90Comment = "Sell90";
   if (Sell80Comment == "") Sell90Comment = "Sell80";
   if (Sell70Comment == "") Sell90Comment = "Sell70";

They must be as follows:

Code: Select all

  if (TradeComment == "") TradeComment = " ";
   if (Buy30Comment == "") Buy30Comment = "Buy30";
   if (Buy20Comment == "") Buy20Comment = "Buy20";
   if (Buy10Comment == "") Buy10Comment = "Buy10";
   if (Sell90Comment == "") Sell90Comment = "Sell90";
   if (Sell80Comment == "") Sell80Comment = "Sell80";
   if (Sell70Comment == "") Sell70Comment = "Sell70";

Also, tell you that I have developed a simple multipair version of this EA, that I am trading live at the moment. Also the EA allows you to introduce two stochastics inputs (two stochastics with different parameters) and trade both at the same time. This multipair version (codenamed Zodiaco) is still a work in progress and I will not post it in this forum without the permission of SH.

Regards


José Luis
