TickScalper EA - page 17

 

Discussion about the brokers can be here https://www.mql5.com/en/forum (as I see - there is some thread about the brokers).

Yes, many EAs are performing differently with different brokers.

 

New Version of Tickscalper

-- Tickscalper_v3.46 --

Attached is the new version of tickscalper.

added functions:

-Newsavoiding (predefined Times, see explenation below)

-New Comments on the Chart informing you about:

+local time

+in tradesession (yes or no)

+avoidnews set to 0/1

-->Avoiding news at which times

+warning when open_new is set to 0 (-> no new trades)

Newsavoiding:

You can now set 3 different spaces of time where the ea will not open NEW trades. This does NOT mean that any trades will be forced to close. Moreover, martingale positions will still be opened!

to toggle the newsavoiding to on, simply set "avoidnews" to 1 instead of 0. The comment on the chart should tell you which times are avoided if you did it right. It will not open new trades between "Newsstart1" and "Newsend1" ect. Please choose the zones big enough to allow the EA to close the open positions before the news!

please note: The Times have to be set in the following format: "00:00", "01:34" "23:00" or whatever you want it to avoid. Those times will be compared to your PC-ClockNOT GMT!! since i found it easyer than always having to calculate the GMT offset of your broker.

Since the times have to be set manualy atm, you have to remove them every day after the news for example or change them for the news for the next day. Currently we (pressl and me) are working on an automatic solution. But because it is a bigger project, i wanted to share my newest version with the rest of you.

for getting an overview over the upcomming events you can use any news calender you want, for example this one from TSD (Newdigital)

for further information about newscalenders please see this thread

if there are any questions simply ask them and I will try to answer them as good as possible.

Hey newdigital,

Can TickScalper have open positions in opposite directions on the same pair (i.e. hedging)? Or are positions in one direction always closed before opening a new position in the opposite (or even same) direction?

 

You mean: open martingale on opposite direction?

I do not know sorry.

Let me see the settings.

 

I looked inside the code - this code is too complicated for me. According to this my description https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179720/page8 - it can not do any hedge sorry.

It is working fine with recent settings for many pairs so I do not think that it should be improved.

 

OK, good. I actually don't want it to hedge. After I asked the question I realized it was silly anyway since a martingale system wouldn't hedge anyway LOL. I asked because scalp_net opens positions in opposite directions and that messes me up on a US broker.

Also, I have a question about the MainTimeFrame setting. I believe I understand that you can't backtest with MainTimeFrame=-1, so I set it to 0 and did my backtesting on M1 timeframe. Would you say that for live trading I should use MainTimeFrame=-1?

 

It is better to keep default as -1: if something is working so why we need to change?

For example, it is 3.44 version for 7 pair (Super more safe settings, initial deposit 5,000):

It is for EURUSD as super-more-save settings:

And it is 3.44 with more safe for EURGBP (initial deposit 3,000):
