Hi @all.
The attached EA is a modified version of http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 76#p159305 what itself is a modification of http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=5367.
I replaced the initial entry criterion (last candle direction) with SuperSlope. We will see if this makes any difference. The inputs for SS are found at the top of the inputs.
UPDATE 2018-02-17
New version with the the following changes:
1) Fixed a bug that caused the bot to send wrong initial trades sometimes. The bot could not show its full potential. We will see if results get better now.
2) Added an option UseDistanceAsATRPercent at the top of the inputs. If you enable that, DistanceToOpenPips and DistanceToClosePips change their meaning from "fixed pips" to "percentage of ATR". The distances are then calculated as percentage of a daily ATR(14).
3) There is a coordinated testing project at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 105&t=5394 and we implemented our latest technology: Every time a trade is fired, we write a little json-formatted file that contains all EA settings we are interested in. At the end of the week, these informations are uploaded to the database together with the trade informations. Then those files get deleted. Now it is very simple to upload the data. Just input your nick and your key. Of course this feature can be turned off, if one doesnt want to participate in the testing project. The input WriteFileForTestDatabase can be found at the end of the general inputs.
4) The prior input tradingHours got replaced by tradingStartHour and tradingEndHour for ease of input and to avoid multiple time slots in one chart.
The new additional WriteT2M4TCR.mqh file goes to MQL4\Include.
UPDATE 2018-02-25
EA is now able to write the following settings to the database:
* TradingTimeFrame - default M5 instead of 0
* tradingStartHour - default 0
* tradingEndHour - default 0
* DistanceToOpenPips - default 20
* DistanceToClosePips - default 15
* UseDistanceAsATRPercent - default false
* SSTimeFrame - default H1
* SSMAPeriod - default 7
* SSATRPeriod - default 50
The trading hours inputs have been moved to the first block and the day specific time settings have gone. They were confusing and not needed. Maybe they come back some time as server related times.
Please load the default settings and then make your changes again. A script for copying your settings to all charts of the platform (without XAUUSD charts) is also attached.
The new additional WriteT2M4TCRSS.mqh file goes to MQL4\Include. The old WriteT2M4TCR.mqh file is no longer needed.
UPDATE 2018-03-03
The EA is now able to write EVERY setting to the database. The .mqh file is no longer needed. This is achieved by writing a template file at every initialization of the EA.
Please dont delete any templates having a lengthy name starting with "ZZT2MTPL...". They get automatically deleted after database upload.
UPDATE 2018-03-03
This update addresses the situation that some testers have loaded different EAs and or/settings on the same account/terminal against our advice. We will handle this by the magic numbers.
This update is mandatory for everyone with more than one EA and/or setup in the same account. And it is indispensable to make them distinguishable by different magic numbers.
Have fun.
