I have a problem with the EA, because I do not do the closures of operations. If it takes more than 100 pips won continues with 0.3, and partially closed. I have it with the set Gday_722. someone please tell me could be.

thanks

Are you saying that the trade went to 100 pips and the partial closure didn't work? You have the jumping stop turned on? If so check your Journal and Experts log to see if there are any messages there about attempting to close a portion of the trade.

I get error 129: invalid price to modify the stop loss, but this error is only to change the stop at the end after a few attempts to change the stop, but not partial closure. Today two operations worked usdjoy open and partially closed with 67 pips CHFJPY gain not worked. Alpari NZ Platform

i had problems with alpari (uk), too. not only with partial close, also with opening of trades. alpari is really the worst crap i've ever seen in automated trading. requotes, timeouts, etc. all the time.
so i changed my demo to Cowboy Go Markets and everything runs fine since then. the only issue i have on opening new positions, is a trade context busy error. i've running gday on 24 charts and the trade signals always appear at the same moment (new d1 candle), so this is normal. the context-busy-handling in steve's code is not bad, so almost always all the trades with signals are opened.

by the way: the actual week was awesome, some very nice trades ran over the week in my demo, i had a floating profit of 400€-700€ all the time (0.3 lot).

edit: shelley, your demo seems to be expired (30 days), did you setup a new demo? if yes, would you mind to share it via myfxbook? would be very nice for comparisation. :)

Hi Shelley,

I grabbed your trades from myfxbook, and started comparing the September trades for AUDUSD, AUDCAD, AUDCHF, and AUDJPY:
Gday.gif
Notice the notes under each of your trades. I highlighted the lotsize and PipsProfit fields so they're easy to compare.

Either I totally don't understand the rules you're following, or you're totally not following your rules. :lol:

It looks to me like you're exiting your first two lots at anywhere from +9.4 to +71.8. Then you exit the 3rd lot at +50 -- may be a jumping stop?

How are you exiting those first two lots?

The rules I'm testing are:
* Buy 3 lots when stoch(7,2,2) crosses over 20, sell 3 lots when stoch crosses under 80
* 200 pip SL (seldom hit)
* Move stop to BE when price reaches +50 pips
* Sell 1 lot at +50 pips (TP1)
* Sell 1 lot at +100 pips (TP2)
* Trail 50-pip jumping stop on 3rd lot
* Exit positions if stoch crosses back over its moving average

I think you said those were the right rules -- but that's not what you're trading.

Help?

Gary, you are right with the rules...those are exactly right! It's the EA that is closing the trades a bit funky, not sure why, perhaps you can take a look at the code, although, I wouldn't waste too much time on it as when Steve gets time he's coding a new EA for me with fully flexible options so we can test a wider range of parameters including different time frames, stoch levels etc.

Aside from my funky results, how were the results on the tests you've been looking at?
