Developers - please insert a stop loss

Post by maroonxy »

Hi all,

From the wonderful world wide web, I have found this EA, including source code that I think is worthy of some attention.

This EA trades XAUUSD 1H only.

For the majority (+95%) of trades, the EA trades very well. There is no martingale or grid. But if price goes against a trade, the trade runs until it returns to this price level or burns the account.

It's missing a stop loss, and I was hoping a generous developer would insert a stop loss into the EA.

Please do test in strategy to see if you think it's worthy of a stoploss.

Also, I'm not a coder, and therefore can't check if this EA reads history. It would be great if someone could check if this EA reads history.

I would be most grateful.

Kind regards

I have looked at the code. This ea is only designed to work when it goes into profit. You are stuffed when it goes into loss. No doubt you were conned into loading it up when some dipstick conned you into imagining it would be profitable.

Any coder glancing briefly at the code will see how the ea makes its trades. We have all been here many times before and have no interest in helping you to proceed. None of us will help you by adding a stop loss to this piece of rubbish until you can come here with a proven record of live trading profitability. Do that and you will have our undivided attention.

To solve your problem in the short term, use this utility: https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB ... 49#p154049 People are using the original all over the world. The latest is a cleaned up version of the original; it is quite good.

:xm: :rocket:
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.
