Thanks wolfe for such a wonderful work put together in this version, overall the quality, ideas and inputs are never seen before. So, we all will do a full forward test with this and report the bugs. However, I know it is impossible to expect without any faults on it, the shell of the EA is the very important part. Hope this will be a nice EA after all corrections. SuperPower vehicle on the forex road with many controls and gadgets to play.

kayvan,

Being that the market is closed...could you be a bit more specific...what is it you are having trouble with...?

Could you post your setfile? and perhaps I could try and help.

Here is my setfile for those of you interested. I broke the inputs into groupings and as wolfe refines the EA preparing it for live trading he might consider typing in gaps in the input screen with text explaining the groupings. The log-in to this IBFX Demo mini-account with 1K is below

wolfe,

Please excuse my numerous questions...I just want to make sure. Will this combination below give me a trail starting when the float reaches $6 bucks and exit me at $5 bucks, assuming it didn't lock in any more profit?

Use_Trailing_Stop=true
Trail_Start=6.0
TSLoss_Percent=83.4

Close_By_Profit=99999.0
Close_By_StopLoss=99999.0

I took a slice of the setfile I am using, below in quotes, to go over this...

Trade#1: 0.1 lots
Trade#2: 0.2 lots
Trade#3: 0.4 lots
Trade#5: 0.8 lots
Trade#6: 1.6 lots
Trade#7: 3.2 lots
Trade#8: 6.4 lots
Trade#9: 12.8 lots
Trade#10: 25.6 lots

Now here is my question...Should maxtrades be set to 10...and will closeallmax exit and get flat on all the trades on the attempt to make the 11th trade?

wolfe,

I think this is a language problem...more than it being whining...

wolfe...let's see how kayvan responds...I really do not think that he meant anything derogatory..I think he was posting out of frustration. Try to understand that this is probably one of the most complex EA's undertaken publically in forex-tsd...I would place it in the top 10 for complexity.

Remember this is a global audience and English is not everybody's first language.

Also people talk to each other differently in various parts of the globe...wolfe I know you realize this...and I can see where the first response is the most important.

ES

P.S. I posted my setfile for all to see...but I wanted to give kayvan something to look at also without embarrassing him or putting the spotlight on him..I hope this helped.

I may be out of line here...

But Newdigital...needs to give the keys to the Elite section of this Forum to wolfe...wolfe has earned it and should not have to pay...we need to take care of the coders here..

Newdigital...please

ES

P.S. will someone point newdigital to this post and support the idea?

If Long_Short_Balance is true, you CAN NOT choose your own progression.
Long_Short_Balance uses the Start_Lot_Size & the Lot_Size_Increment. When a trend direction change is detected and another trade signal occurs, the EA will "equalize" the long and short lot sizes (now you are fully hedged), plus it will add Balance_Weight to the side of you're new trend.

Depends if you are using MA entry, or kayvan method, pyramid true, or pyramid false.

Basically a Long_Short_Balance would happen if your last order was a short, and you just got a signal to open a long. Or the other way around of course. This would happen only if Long_Short_Balance was set to true, and ALL other lot size decisions were set to false.

Right here is what I had to code JUST to determine the next lot size in a trade progression, depending on how the user set it up.

PHP Code:


			
if (Double_Lotsize==false)
         {
          Lot_Size=LastLots+Lot_Size_Increment;
         }
        if (Double_Lotsize==true)
         {
          Lot_Size=LastLots*2;
         }
        if (Long_Short_Balance==true)
         {
          if (SellLots>BuyLots)
           {
            Lot_Size=((SellLots-BuyLots)+Balance_Weight);
           }
          else Lot_Size=LastLots+Lot_Size_Increment;
         }
        if (Choose_Own_Progression==true)
        {
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==1){Lot_Size=Trade_2;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==2){Lot_Size=Trade_3;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==3){Lot_Size=Trade_4;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==4){Lot_Size=Trade_5;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==5){Lot_Size=Trade_6;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==6){Lot_Size=Trade_7;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==7){Lot_Size=Trade_8;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==8){Lot_Size=Trade_9;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==9){Lot_Size=Trade_10;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==10){Lot_Size=Trade_11;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==11){Lot_Size=Trade_12;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==12){Lot_Size=Trade_13;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==13){Lot_Size=Trade_14;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==14){Lot_Size=Trade_15;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==15){Lot_Size=Trade_16;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==16){Lot_Size=Trade_17;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==17){Lot_Size=Trade_18;}if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==18){Lot_Size=Trade_19;}
         if(OTBM(Magic_Number)==19){Lot_Size=Trade_20;}
         }
        RefreshRates();
        Ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lot_Size,Ask,Slippage,NULL,NULL,"TFX_LONG_ADDITIONAL",Magic_Number,0,Green);

As you see it got very confusing, and it does have some limitations. Code reads left to right, top to bottom, just as you or I would.(only it does this in a nano second)

Now you can see the last decision method the code reads is this one:

PHP Code:


			
if (Choose_Own_Progression==true)
        {

If Choose_Own_Progression is set to true, this is the last thing the code reads to decide which method for lot size it will use, all others that were true will not execute. Only the last one that the code read to be true.

Sorry if I just confused you more.

Just a thought...

Delete your include file folks...then install the new and improved 1.6...no include file needed. The opening post of this thread has your new download.

It is best just to start with a new demo....then everything is clear!
