Version 3.0 BUG?

Hi Iron,

I use IBFX and found some bugs:

Initial Account = 2500

IBFXmicro = true

Portion = 4.0

MaximumRisk = 5.0

However, on chart EA shows:

Portion Balance = 2615.00

Total Risk on Account Percent = 13

Profit Targe = 18.20

MaxProfit = 4.29

This doesn't look correct at all.

Another Bug:

Initial Account = 10000

IBFXmicro = true

Portion = 4.0

MaximumRisk = 5.0

However, EA shows on chart the same thing as above with Starting lot size 0.01.

Portion Balance = 2615.00

Total Risk on Account Percent = 13

Profit Targe = 18.20

MaxProfit = 4.29

Starting lot size = 0.01

This doesn't look correct. When Initial Account changed, Portion Balance, Total Risk, Starting lot size did not change.

Please take a look and advise. Thanks!

 

Bugs, eh? I see no bugs. Look at my attachments. Picture 10 is my account with a portion of 10 on my live account with IBFX (micro). Picture 4 shows that Piplite is trading and making money.

Piplite v3.1

All,

Some folks were concerned about their overlays displaying "inaccurate" information. This isn't cause for alarm however I agree that it should ALWAYS be correct. When Piplite initializes, it looks at the variables that are initially set. The initial lot size isn't calculated until a buy or sell request is initiated then the correct lot size is displayed.

I have posted a change to Piplite so it always displays the correct starting lot size. I removed the lot sizing calculator out of the function and into the start loop so it is constantly calculated and displayed correctly.

Go here and get v3.1

Happy Trading

 

Interbank FX is introducing 5th decimal pricing!

Interbank FX is introducing 5th decimal pricing!

How will this affect Piplite EA?

Thanks

I've just done a backtest from Jan 1 to today on M5 GBPUSD and set the ARSI period to 5 and Profit Skew to 5. Looks very promising, check it out guys!

 

5 Decimal Broker

All,

Piplite Autodetects broker decimal. Piplite doesn't send a TP or SL to the broker (unless you use POSL) so broker decimal really isn't a factor! It's inherently stealthy because it's an equity trader.

However, not to worry, autodetection works fine!

Hi Iron,

Have you thought about the NFA's new rule regarding on the prohibiting of hedge trading? Will it affect the Piplite trading on IBFX? Thanx.

Version 3.1 BUG?

Hi Iron,

Thanks for version 3.1. Some parts were fixed, but there's still a problem. Here are two instances:

Initial Account = 2500

IBFXmicro = true

Portion = 4.0

MaximumRisk = 5.0

However, on chart EA shows:

Portion Balance = 2624.00

Total Risk on Account Percent = 13

Profit Targe = 18.20

MaxProfit = 8.15

Starting Lot Size = 0.13

With initial account = $2500 and Portion = 4, how can Portion Balance = 2624.00 and Starting Lot Size = 0.13? This doesn't look correct!

------------

Initial Account = 2500

IBFXmicro = true

Portion = 2.0

MaximumRisk = 5.0

However, on chart EA shows:

Portion Balance = 5248

Total Risk on Account Percent = 25

Profit Targe = 36.40

MaxProfit = 8.15

Starting lot size = 0.26

How can you have Portion Balance higher than Initial account amt? Also the lotsize and Risk is too large for $2500. Please use the inputs above to test and you'll see what I mean.

Please take a look and fix. Thank you!
