Pips, A quick question. Is there any reason why the EA looks to gain a certain Equity? Is it not the same if we look for a certain P/L? I ask this because, if you have multiple accounts, or doing something else then the global variable to read the ...

Hi Pips, I like this EA. I think I am going to spend some time over the break improving some of the logic in the code such as closing of orders and stuff. I won't change the underlying idea as I think this is its strength. I will simply change code ...

I know why its leaving orders there. I have updated the closeOrder code to ensure that it does close all the orders and waits until all of the are actually closed as opposed to giving up. However, I think that if broker is causing issues then this ...

I have a problem. The EA hit the equity gain it was aiming for (I think). It then closed all the pending orders and some of the open orders but kept the rest open. Why would that happen?

Yes, you are right. A bit more demoing to iron out all the issues with the lot sizes, tp and other latency aspects. I think I am going to add some bits to the EA to print a few more things on the screen such as the equity target. Also whether its ...

Do I have to fix the start time every time i change one of the other settings.

Also, is FinFx the broker you optimised the settings with ? In that case I should just demo with them?

That makes some more sense to me now. So for 50K the lot size should be 0.5. I am going to open a fresh demo with the new settings.

Thanks Pips. I think I got all of them other than the Buffer and Step. Perhaps a bit more explanation or a screenshot will help.

I think the default settings that the EA comes with makes sense on the 50K FXCM demo. Once this lot of trades are closed, I am going to demo it on a 1K account with FXCM to see how it works it. If everything looks good I will be doing a Live 1K ...

thanks. Will do. I think when you have time pips it would be great if you can please describe all the parameters and how are the ranges calculated. That will help people configure to particular brokers better making your experiment more realistic ...

With armada the ea opened the orders too close to each other causing this problem. The range/distance of the orders depends on te spread. I think currently the Ea is optimised to work with a 5 spread. Using a 1 spread is what's causing the issue. I ...

My armada exploree has hit all pending orders on both sides. What the heck do i do now?

Try My EA! Need Group Feedback...

That does't sound right. I started with around 49K and have 37 trades running. My used margins is only 2861. Also each trade is 4.90Lot

Thanks you are probably right.. I will confirm once I get home. By the way, can you please address the question I posed earlier?

My EA seems to have opened only 28 trades on each side. Any ideas why?

Don't know what you are referring to when you say crash? It is possible for the EA to fail. For instance if you look at the attached picture where I have drawn a rectangle roughly the size of the grid we are covering with our pending orders you will ...

Thanks Pips. Now I want to drill down a bit on the latency issue. Why is latency such a big issue in this case? Is it because how fast we need to close the trades? If that is the case then I don't think we need to worry about it too much (unless the ...

I don't think so..... If that were the case this trade would need to wait a good few months and gold would need to go into a huge uptrend. I think Thepipster is aiming smaller to ensure that we don't get whipped through the whole entry range. $400 ...

Can you please read the question carefully before randomly answering. So I have 4 lots per trade and 37 trades open. Can you tell me if its 4/0.01 *1 or 4 *37/0.01 * 4?
