Re: Fmfx auto-trader. Another new toy by Steve Hopwood

I've noticed the following strange behaviour while reviewing the logs for yesterday.

A USDCAD sell trade was opened at 00:28 and then modified with an SL and TP at 02:03. Then from 03:54 the log is full of these messages:

03:54:09 '144583': modify order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386 -> sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386
03:54:09 '144583': request was accepted by server
03:54:10 '144583': order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 was modified -> sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386
03:54:15 '144583': modify order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386 -> sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386

03:54:20 '144583': modify order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386 -> sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386

03:54:27 '144583': modify order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 sl: 0.99888 tp: 0.99386 -> sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386
03:54:28 '144583': request was accepted by server
03:54:28 '144583': order #12867542 sell 0.01 USDCAD at 1.00288 was modified -> sl: 1.00188 tp: 0.99386

It seems the SL was constantly being modified to either 0.99888 or 1.00188. This went on until 09:58 when the pair was closed (at 0.99695?).

The same thing happened to a USDJPY trade that was open. Both of these are only "one off's" at this stage but I thought I'd throw it out there for any comments?

Hi Steve, I was hoping if you have some spear time you could help make the call for (Use RSI Trend Detection, Naningbob trend detection, All Average, CBI Module and martingale multiplier) in the code so we can use them for additional filter for ranging period and increase winning ratio. Thanks a lot

I've been running this EA for just over a week now interestingly it hasn't opened any AUD, CAD or CHF base pair trades despite numerous valid entry points! As you can see in the attached graphs there have been a number of great trades that simply haven't been opened. cadjpy.gif chfjpy.gif audusd.gif I've checked the logs for some of these times and no error messages were raised - trades for other pairs have occurred before and after these times. Does anyone have any thoughts on why?

Have now changed it to 'false' and I'll see what happens this week.

There was a good AUDUSD entry signal (see below) but no trade opened. audusd.gif

Your version still has the separate start time printing in the display. George

Just out of curiosity, did you get the AUDUSD trade I referred to above or aren't you running the EA currently?
