I loaded new HGBG 1e. Ran it OOTB. It submitted orders but then immediately cancelled them followed by an error.


Any further insight would be really appreciated.

P.S. The snippet shows H4 and M5 messages mixed. I tried an M5 just to get some action then of course, H4 kicked in too. Both time-frames experienced the same open/modify/delete/error behavior.

Does anoyone has and is willing to upload me a copy of "HGB'nG User Guide" pdf?
I think it's missing from the first post*. I browsed through whole topic and didn't find it, but i'd like to rtfm before i do anything.

*- Of course there is a possibilty that i'm blind dimwit and somehow missed it.

I've got a couple of questions re the screen prompts and results I have been getting with my HGBnG (1K).

So far I have been doing OK results wise. Thanks Steve!

My challenge is that I am getting a lot of continual 'error 130' flags (after the HGB hits BE; closes 50% & drops into the JS mode until stopped out) resulting in a whole parcel of cancelled 0.01trades rather than the expected whole parcel of 0.01 trades that made money.


I figure that I have gotten myself snookered in the corner behind the 8 ball with what I thought I was asking HGBnG to do -- grab 40 pips and treat whatever else as the cream on the coffee.

I went on line and found this (http://www.forexboat.com/ordersend-error-130/) but, because my knowledge & understanding of programming is <0 - the instructions are pretty much gobbldegook.

I figure that Steve has gotten all his 'Ducks in a row' because HGBnG is running like clockwork - so the problem is at my end.

My problem is that I cannot programme my way out of a wet paper bag to save myself.

Would someone please have a look at my attached set file and tell me where I have gone wrong - and what I need to change to so that it stops hanging up when it hits BE and cancelling the trade and does what I want - drop into the JS mode until it either hits my TP or gets stopped out!
Thanks very much.
Cheers

It looks as though there is something preventing the 50% close. This partial closure forms no part of what we do here so I am not going to bother about it. I suggest you go back to just letting the trades run until one of the closure features kicks in.

I cannot back up what I am about to write with actual figures but my instinct is that all you are doing by closing half of your trade at BE - and probably using BE at all - is losing 25% of your profits.

Today the DD was cut in half by some nice movements.
