I noticed that the TP disappears when using a trailing stop. Is this a bug?

No, it's not.

When adding this to certain symbols, it starts saying MT5 VolatilityScalperEA (EPH23,M1) <NOTICE...[ MT5 VolatilityScalperEA: Free margin is low (27309.49) ]...NOTICE>. Why is this?

Sorry, I asked this previously and its a duplicate question. My lot size is at 1 which is the lowest I can go for the S&P E-mini futures.

This is why this particular error occurs, there is not enough money for the expert to open a large position.

I have 100k in the demo account I am using. That should be more than enough. Its still happening, no matter how much money is in my account.

No, it's not.

May I request a change? I would have the take profit be removed once the trailing stop is past break even. Also, I would like to request that the trailing stop not move so quickly along with the movement of the price, to prevent the price from hitting the stop.

Correction. I would like to request the trailing stop loss not move until the gain in points for break even is hit (if value is present), then move the stop loss to that point and continue trailing from there.

The stop loss wouldn't be moved up until the price was sufficiently far enough away from where the stop is moved to as well. To determine that, you could add a setting that specified the # of points or percentage of price to keep the stop away from the price at any time, so the stop will always be X points or percentage away from the price.

Hello,

It is an old project that I have now stopped developing because brokers have found ways to limit any such system.

Nikolaos, gracias por la respuesta. Una pregunta: cuan dice "los corredores han encontrado formas de limitar dicho sistema", a que se refiere. A caso el funcionamiento del EA es "frenado" por decirlo de alguna forma por los corredores, y no responde bien en una cuenta real?. Es así?. Gracias por su atención.

First congratulations for the work, the volatility EAs in both MT5 and MT4 were really excellent.

I am facing a problem with the Volatility scalper EA for MT4.
I performed several tests not on the tester but on the same graphics of the demo account with the US30 and it was very satisfactory.
In a live account, the EA opens orders in forex pairs, already at US30, I can put it on the chart, everything loads ok, the autotrading is on and it simply does not open orders, the margin needed to use the lot that is in the EA configuration is OK. Have you set any required minimum capital limits specifically for indices like us30? Or any tips on how this issue could be resolved?

In live account in forex pairs opens, but only in us30 that does not. If you can help me I would be very grateful.

Hello,

I have not set any limitation. This may depend on your broker.

Olá,

Eu não estabeleci nenhuma limitação. Isso pode depender do seu corretor.

OK. Thanks for the quick reply. I will look for solutions with the broker.

I believe I managed to identify the problem. Well, on a demo account, I tested VolatilityScalperEA on us30 and with a balance above $400.00 it works perfectly. But with a balance of $200 it does not start trading. And the minimum margin to trade 1 standard lot, which is the minimum option left in MT4, is $169.00. So even with free margin it does not start. In his schedule, does he require more than 100% of the necessary margin? Like 2x or 3x the required margin amount?

Or is it programmed with a minimum margin in $ required to open orders?

Now after testing volatiliyscalperEA I found the potential limitations. He receives an available balance amount twice as large as the required margin. For example, if the US30 index margin for 1 standard lot is $150, you have to have at least $300 in your account for it to work. This can be changed or updated. I would be very grateful. I was testing for almost 1 week and nothing to find out when it was today I found the problem.

In the last version I have delete the function about free margin.

I think is ok now.

If you did it on VolatilityscalperEA MT5, can you do it for VolatilityScalper MT4? Well, I'm using it. I saw asking these questions through this one because in the other one there were no answers and I saw that here you answer faster. If you can remove these margin factors in VolatilityScalperEA MT4 I will be really grateful. Because I'm trying to use it on a live account but my balance is low and that doesn't allow it. I await your return, I know you must be busy but if you can do it I will be immensely grateful.

I've done a lot of testing and a lot of optimizations, but I haven't found a good set of parameters. Does anyone have a good setfile to share? Thank you-

Hi @Nikolaos Pantzos,

I am just wondering if you think that the EA would improve if it had a "Buy Only" Option and "Sell Only" Option added to the EA's Input Settings (as well as normal operation).

I think this would improve the EA's results, it would allow a trader more variety and control of a trade.

What do you think?
