• Most Forex traders lose all their money.
  Using the robot posted here in trading Forex does not guarantee success.
  Trading this robot could lead to serious financial loss.
  Trading this robot without understanding its underlying trading strategies guarantees traders will lose their money.
  This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.
  At best, a trading robot is only 90% as good as the manual strategy it trades. At best. At worst, it can be much less effective. If the strategy is rubbish, so is the robot.
  To trade this robot, you have to understand:
  • How to use EA's.

• Martingale
• Shake's Recovery Method - not sure it is working correctly yet though!

• UseTradeOnCurrentCandle - This means trades can open or close on current candle not on the previously closed candle.
• UseLastColorChangeSL - This allows a StopLoss to be entered if set to false
• UseStoch - adds a Stoch filter i was testing so if price below StochHighLim then allow BUY or if price above StochLowLim allow a SELL.
• UseStochClose.80.20 - This is an option to close trades if stoch drops below 80 for a BUY or increases above 20 for a SELL.

• MasterYoda's synergy candle trailing stop, to use just turn on UseCandlestickTrailingStop.
• Fixed the current SL as i had taken the wrong figure so sometimes it was correct and other times it was off.
• Added comment box to help read text, can moved around and colour changed or turned off.

• Tried fixing Shake Recovery as made a couple of typos in original version - still needs confirming
• Added UseOpenOppositeTradeOnClose to try and open new trade on closure of a trade - not fully tested yet.
• UseATRFilter uses the method from xADR_0.2 indicator and shows ATR(5), ATR(25) and calculates room up and down for trading (all user configurable. I took this from Fratelli EA).
• Added Georges DoneForTheDay code from the Shell EA thread to allow stopping of trades once a daily limit is reached.
• Added CommentBoxShow which puts two boxes where text comments are to make them easier to read.
• Various bug fixing as well.

• George has done an updated Shake Recovery that seems to do what we want.
• UseOpenOppositeTradeOnClose kind of works - still needs work.
• UseATRFilter added feedback and now checks every minute.
• George has updated DoneForTheDay code so added changes.
• Various bug fixing as well.

• George has updated DoneForTheDay code so added changes.

• George has come up with a way to avoid TradeContext Busy errors when running multiple copies of EA.
• Added AutoTradeComment - added timeframe as comment which is useful when testing multiple timeframes on same pair.
• Added AutoMagicNumber - creates magic number based on pair, timeframe and EA name
• Rob asked for a Trend MA to be added - default is MA50, no shift on Typical price to filter out bad trades.
• Added a MinATR1 to make sure ATR1 is above this value to trade to keep out of low ranging PA.
• Defaults changed so UseCandlestickTS and ATRFilter are on.

• Removed need for synergy_apb indicator as i have now included the calculation in the EA. George and i have been working on method to include indicators in EAs to increase calculation speed and reduce cpu overheads.
• Rob has asked for a way to stop trading all EAs when account balance increased by a fixed daily percent. The DoneForTheDay EA allows trades to continue but no new trades open using StopTrading option or all trades closed using CloseAll option

• I have done some bug fixing, i think i have found the issue when using multiple pairs and trades not opening or closing correctly. Let me know if your still having problems.
• Added ATR for SL/TP if other options turned off and a fixed SL/TP not set.
• Updated DoneForTheDay EA code to allow a MaxAccountLoss to be specifed.
• Change how EA responds to DFTD EA so now actaully closes trades of stops trading when percent hit.

• I have done some bug fixing, well spotted by skoda2008 that sometimes SLs were not being placed. I have added fix and also changed code in CountOpenTrades to make sure it keeps checking for missing SLs and TPs.
• Added UseOpenTradeOnOppSignal to allow trades to stay to only be entered after a previous trade if the signal is opposite type i.e. if last trade was a buy next trade must be a sell. Useful if using TP and dont want reentry in a trend when near peak.
• Turned off RiskPercent for default and base lot size is 0.1, please check default settings before using.
• Other bug fixing but i cannot remember what they are as i didnt them last week during testing but hopefully i havent broken anything.

I must be the only one experiencing this behaviour with ChangeTheColor EA since nobody else commented. First of all, the results are incredibly….incredible Thanks for this FANTASTIC EA !

I made 574$ in two days with 0.01 lot !!. Here is the problem, although it shows that I am trading 0.01 lot, I suspect it really is trading 10 lots. See picture. I am with FXCM and all my other demos perform correctly. With ChangeTheColor EA I can only have one trade at a time (look at my margin level). Anyone else experiencing this ?

I have been following SH for 2 years so I leaned a bit about coding. I’ll look into it. Must be something with “Adapt to x digit criminals”. What do you think ?

Thanks Bunker

Bunker, thanks for the update. The Ea is based on Steve's shell and from the picture it is trading as specified, you have set 0.01 lots and the trades is 0.01 lots. The only thing i can think of is the leverage on the account meaning you have higher margin requirements, i typically use 1:100. The EA is designed to trade 1 at a time, though you can run on different timeframes but i havent tested it.

Rob, and i have been working on improvements so i will update post #1 in a minute with the additions for you to test.

Regards

Mike
