I suspect the clue is in the error message ;-)

You have the EA on a chart of XXXYYYpro but it is saying it can't open an order on XXXYYY. Try manually amending your list of currencies to trade so that they read XXXYYYpro,YYYZZZpro,etc... and Auto Suffix and other Suffix setting is just left off. This is working fine for me on forward test at Atom8 on their .s feed - so GBPUSD.s for example.

All the best

Jeff

Perhaps because trading stops over the weekend. You should see trades late Sunday afternoon/Sunday night.

Thanks, but no trades still.
It seems my broker Empty4 is not compatible with this EA. In the Experts tab I keep on getting the error 133 for different pairs as the one below. I tried to change with some EA input parameters and nothing works.

Hi Jeff,

I think you are right about the way to solve the suffixes problem.

In a few minutes I will add a new version in the first post with the following changes:

-Refined the entries: added internal Support/Resistance and now the EA uses the variations of the CCI to refine the entries.

-Modified the code for the stop losses and take profits (now they use standard deviations; I think it is better than ATR).

-Added the risk parameter for calculating lot size.

Regards


José Luis

Surely this depends on the numbers of pairs? Isn't it 0.01 lots per 1000 per pair?

Hi Bruster,

I am trading live 0.01 lots for every 1.000 euros for the 9 pairs jointly.

Take into account that every trade has an stop loss of 200 pips.

I am now posting the v3 version in the first post.

Regards

José Luis

Hi,

I'm still getting no trades on one of my accounts and I don't think it's a suffix issue. If I change the suffix deliberately to make it wrong, the info for _isAllowed, _trend and rsi disappear from the table at the top of the chart. If I put it back correctly then these re-populate which makes me think that the suffix is working fine. However, there's no rsi values - just "--" for the over bought / over sold and 0 for the rsi difference. I've fired it up on another account and it works fine and these values are given even if trades haven't been taken. This makes it seem that it's not reading the rsi correctly..... perhaps.

Is it looking at a particular indicator that I don't have on one account perhaps? Is the rsi code not picking up the suffix maybe? Just ideas, but is anyone else still having issues with no trades being taken?

Thanks in advance for your help.
