In the settings you just showed me::::: extern double MGMode = 1; means Martingale is on, for martingale to be off needs to be::::: extern double MGMode = 0; The reason Mamethods is included is because in AveragesMacd there is 18 different types of choices of moving averages to use for the macd which is where::::: extern int Method = 2, comes into play means you are using double smoothed EMA Macd, its just a quick and easy way to try a variety of ma's for Macd, and know which ma you are using.

 

Dear Mrtools,

I am not going to put it live. Demo money first. In my mind it has now slimmer chance to blow accounts, but market is unpredictable and worst case scenario can happen. The more MaxOrders we have the more chance to break even and more DD. It could be a play of Maxorders 10 and from MaxOrdrers 4 onwards try to break even. So we can scalp again. Waist of orders and DD put profit curve steady if it closes in breakeven. It should allow matringale after MaxOrder 4 put closing logic could be BreakEven and not ProfitTarget. This should speed the exit time and we can go on scalping. Just ideas IMHO.

I am running EURUSD short and long two eas and many pairs. Will see behavior. Tempting cash cow martingale strategy with out the blow account effect

I know is not easy and is not your ea. Even if it does not work out we tried. Thanks and I apprriciate efforts these things take time.

Hi Nic, Just taking baby steps, and i am testing,watching,reading peoples suggestions,and considering how to add them, and please remember this wasn't built by me i am just trying to make it a little better.This is why only demo trade this until your sure about it, then try on very small real account, but far as i'm concerned its still in development stage.
 
jackjones:
Well I am trying to slow the live one down a bit as personally I would rather it get it right (scalp on trend) rather than trade so often like the other settings let it do.

Can you tell me which condition this line is looking for on the macd

if (iCustom(NULL,macdtf,"averages MACD",Price,FastPeriod,SlowPeriod,SignalPeriod,Method,true,4,1) > iCustom(NULL,macdtf,"averages MACD",Price,FastPeriod,SlowPeriod,SignalPeriod,Method,true,5,1)) result = mode;

so which part of macd is 4 and which is 5? if I wanted it to only go long when the signal period is positive and greater than the previous what would that look like?

sorry for the trader noob questions

Jack the questions are never any problem, its better to ask, now on the macd the 4 is actually the macd in the picture its the black line outlining the histogram the signal line (5) is the yellow line. If macd line greater than signal line is buy and the opposite for sell

Oh, so it's be running all this time... I thought my exitmode 10 got me out of martingale, my trade limit per pair is pretty low though. I guess ill change that

igorads programming is great but i sometimes wish the documentation was a tad better

thanks

Hi Nc,

I appreciate your ideas, actually everyones, and they are being considered, like you said its just going to take a some time a lot of testing,patience, experimentation,research,etc. for everyone.

 

I think that this 3.45.1 with multiply pairs for more safe settings may work.

It is doing good since this morning.

I did not have any case yet for 'equity account protection' (not good one, not bad one sorry) ... but anyway - I will trade it for few more day at home pc and after that, if everything will be fine- will transfer it to elite servers to trade in usual way with stats website connection.

 

Hi, so I've noticed 3.44.7 with mc mode 6 and ts mode 3 (so no macd) is not trading when a version of 3.5 is and it has those same settings... so shouldn't version 3.44.7 also be making those trades if all other settings are the same?

Other than the mc and ts modes and the possible macd filter there are also the various MA changes that could be changed, but if those haven't what other settings might be effecting the trade? sounds like a riddle, thanks.

They are two different brokers but I don't see how that might effect it because the 3.5 version is trading 4 or 5 times in a trend when 3.44 won't.

My live EA is up 16% and flat for now. It is trading e/g in two separate EAs/separate settings. It needs a breather. I have another EA running on heaps of pairs with martingale, it went down 17% but just made nearly 20% back in the past two trading days! (deadly)--- it got very lucky on friday (news time) night. I will put it up on myfxbook if it survives the week.

 

I am using MC mode 3 as default with this version and it works great - you can check it here (MT login and investor's password):

MT4i - tickscalper_3447

So, I am not going to change anything here unless it will start lossing sorry

I am more warry about next 3.45.1 version trying to get this "account protection feature" to be works ... just to see how it is working on trading. In case of trading many pairs on 1 account for example.

Good point. I forgot to mention it has some very old trades that are about to stop out. My questions was more to do with what (if anything major) might be the difference considering the settings I mentioned as I'm not aware of others that might effect it that much as I was expecting to see the same trades... . If anyone knows off the top of their head please say otherwise I'll just keep modding it.
