Error #130 is invalid stop. It means that price is moving very quickly and EA can not open the order becase price is already gone. I use slippage 6 but I am getting this error sometimes.

Hello guys,

I would like to forward test StepMAExpert_v1.45. However, I got 2 questions:

1) After I unzipped the file, i saw a file called: StepMA_v7EA.mq4. What is this? Do I need to do anything with this?

It is indicator. Place it in indicator's folder and compile. Or place in /indicator folder and re-start MetaTrader.

2) According to the preset file stepmaex1.45_gbp_nomm_m30.set, the SessionStart is 8, and the SessionEnd is 24. As I am trading on IBFX, do I need to change the Session Start and End by IBFX Server time?

Please kindly advise.

Regards,

Geoff

As I understand it is the time to open the order. It is not timefilter really. Because timefilter is the time to open/modify/process the order. But those sessions" are only opeventing the openning the order ourside the sessions but all the orders will be processed (and stop loss will be moved).

You may change this time according to IBFX. This time is for Alpari broker. I have several copies of Alpari MetaTrader and it is 9 am on the chart. GMT +1?

Because there are smmer time and winter time ...

So it may be 7 and 23. When IBFX daily bar is closing? 23?

 

Hi Newdigital,

Thanks for your reply. v.1.45 give me very good result this week on GBPUSD.

If I also want to forward test v1.42 on GBPUSD, should I use the EA and preset file on this link: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173375/page5

or the EA on this link: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173375/page5 ?

(Note: I will forward test it live on an IBFX mini account)

Besides, is the Tracert.mqh the same for all StepMAExpert version? Which means that I only need to have one inside the "include" folder for any StepMaExpert version to work well?

Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Geoff

Yes, tracert file is the same for every EA.

If you want to test v1.42 as well so use this link https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173375/page5

But make sure that you have different magic numbers for all v1.42 and v1.45. Every pair/EA should have different magic number.

Besides v1.42 setted for North Finance broker. But I am using same settings with Alpar as well (because differencies between NF and Alpari time is just 1 hour). If you are using the other broker so probable set your time mentioned inside the settings of EAs, or keep it like this.

 

I've been looking at the statistics, and decided StepMAExpert_v1.45 was worth trying. Unfortunately, it's just losing (5 losses, 3 small winners) for the last 2 days.

I've gone back through this thread, and I think that maybe I've got it set up wrong. I just added the indicator itself, but now I think there's more to it.

It seems I need the tracert file and the StepMA_v7EA indicator ... right?

But what about the *.set files? Do I use the ones from V1.42 ? ... and what is stdlib.mqh?

I don't believe I can really test this EA properly until I've got it properly installed.

 
 

Thanks very much.

I'll get it setup correctly now, and see how I get on.

 

What is MM or noMM?

Sorry, I realise it's MoneyManagement, but I'm not sure exactly what that is.

Also, you have SessionStart and SessionEnd. Isn't it 24h? If so, do I set SessionStart to 0 ?
