Are you using ver C (16July)?
Are there any other extern input changes?
We had 25 trades last week & 12 pendings fired today (Day2).
Irony is, an account I set up to run orig. PPoS parallel, set no trades at all today - strange!
Paul
On parallel PPoS 12 pending Main trades, on PPoS 2c as said 0 pending.
I attach the settings I want to use. You have the ootb settings.
Thanks Mike

Hi Mike,

Have you tried 2c OOTB? If it does work try changing the settings and see what happens. Just use a process of elimination.

Does anybody has PPOS 2C running without problems (taking correct trades etc) on Global Prime?

If any, please post your set-file.

I get some funny errors, not placing correct trades, in-correct lot size on main trades etc. :arrrg:

Thx in advance!

Hi PC. Here is my set file. It works with latest PPoS2 at GlobalPrime (xfactornos settings).
Look at the picture of my open trades. All trades with fixed lot 1.00 is PPoS2 and the other open trades is PPoS.

There is some differences in the trades. The settings is exactly the same on the two versions, except from I am using no fixed TP on PPoS2.

I have 14 pendings on PPoS2 and 13 pendings on PPoS.

Hi Lifesys
If Steve updates PPoS, does PPoS v2c need some of the same modifications?
Just wonder, Mike

Hi Mike
Updating depends on what changes are suggested & why being made. I have StopTradingDay = 0; (not 23rd) & as you can see my PPoS2 trading (magic 99), whilst it did take a lull last week, is recovering well. I do not expect an EA to trade all the time - key is not losing money on bad trades. Generally PPoS systems do that well.
As Paul Baluda said it is a simple system but it still requires management supervision.
Paul's barebones is worth looking at as I still find PPoS/2 does some strange things at times. eg Pending trades on NZDUSD a couple of days ago when Mn & W1 were opposite.
Near all my PPoS trading has been on AUD pairs given it has D1 reversals with Mn & W1 down.
Between this & PA trades >14% / month, I am very happy.

Hi Paul.

I noticed that you had a GA trade closed already today. I have pendings on both PPoS and PPoS2 but non triggered yet. Are you always using market trades?

Are you willing to share your setfile?

Hi qvintus
Attached 2e has Steve's recent Trade close additions included. My "set file" is in the MQ4 as is 20xD1(Mn), 5xD1(W1), 3% Doji candle & 1% risk for all trades. Personally, when success rate and SL for Multitrades are so high, I increased "Multi" risk to 2% each trade via template. [As mentioned previously this is not as risky as it sounds since Multi's overlap & with Jumping stop, risk exposure is rarely on more than one.]
There is no doubt to me that this is a preferred way to go & set StopTradingDay = 0;
I notice Paul (Baluda) incorporated the 20xTrading & 5xTrading in his "BareBones Pipmasher". Maybe we can convince Steve to include these in PPoS & replace PPoS2 altogether. Both set to zero = PPoS.
PPoS2 added 4.86% to my account since the 23rd July. BUT(!) I did close all orders 2hrs, before the big 15:30hrs Day5 USD drop - causing EUR & AUD pairs to reverse considerably. Steve's WinningTradeClosureHour & LosingTradeClosureHour additions would have been too late to save these trades from large reversal before close.
Between Green lines is last week of June, Red lines = last week of July.
PPoS2-2015-08-01_121353.jpg
Interesting also that "Main" trades (56% win rate) account for 32% of trades started, 46% of pips taken but only 12% of profit. The continual flow of 30pip "Multi" trades (88% win rate) is the winning factor of this system.
[Note : 1. All but one losing "Multi" trades are 100 pip jumping stop (after reaching 20pip gain) - not 300 pip SL which would require >90% success.
2. Another little addition is the actual (Close-Open) pip values for each "light", underneath are the values if calendar 'Longer'(Mn) & 'Medium'(W1) were used. Helps to see the difference & verify direction change over the month.]
