Has the initial lot size setting moved in the latest update?

  I strongly suggest that you watch all of the new videos I made for version 6.00 on this page. https://www.jimdandymql4courses.com/trade-management-tool-instructions/

I think Video #4 answers your question.

I have uploaded a new file version 6.1... I found a way today to get 6.00 to enter a trade as you drop the EA on the chart. By default when you drop the ea on the chart, the scheduler is set to have already expired a minute ago. Also by default, the mode is set to buy. 

I have found that if you can drop the EA on the chart in the moment of a new minute, the scheduler will be set to have expired a minute ago.. however, due to lack of ticks coming in at a slow time of day, the actual broker time can still be a minute ago.. and it will enter the default 'buy' trade. I have changed the scheduler to have expired an hour ago when you start the EA instead of a minute, and have set the default mode to a breakout trade so that even if it fires off.. all it will do is put two lines on the chart. This new file is in Metaquotes hands so we'll see how long before they actually get it updated for you guys... Pip Pip..

Hi Jim,

I have purchased the EA and have been able to install it on a demo account, but have not figured out how to install on my two live accounts on the same computer.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi jim

I am taking the main course with you. Also I Just purchased the trading tool. I down loaded the demo. Then I purchaed the $ 149.00 tool on MQL5 site. But I have no access. can you help ??

 I do not know why... but Metaquotes is not showing the linked video in my description as it should be.. it is showing pictures but only says video below.. this is the video link that for some reason is not showing up. make sure you watch it BEFORE you download anything from mql5. DO NOT download from this site.. download the product from within your platform....

Hello John, not sure i understand your question or the jpeg. You download the tool from within your platform. In the market tab and then the purchased tab .. make sure you are logged in using the same community id that you used to purchase it.. you have 20 activations available to you..  Pip Pip 

if you have not watched this video yet then do so now.. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOntjIwf0vKQfXor1AN-UYBDEeuirHLix

     I have said over and over in videos to only purchase and download the tool from within your platform. go in your platform and log in to the mq5 community using the same id that you purchased the tool with. Then go to the market and purchased and install it there.. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOntjIwf0vKQfXor1AN-UYBDEeuirHLix

 do it through the "purchased' tab of you markets tab while you are logged into the platform with your same id you purchased it with. thanks Jerry.

Hi Jim

I have purchased JDMT and JD control panel, worked great on Windows 10 update 1803, as soon as I updated to 1902 they stopped functioning. As I had some problem with laptop I decided to do a clean install of Windows, prior to going live. A fresh install of Windows  (update 1903) would not even allow me to put either on to a chart. I did a revert back to 1803, the same problem. Any solutions or fixes?

An idea for a new tool: One that functions like JDMT, but uses Quadrant points for SL and TP. I am using this manually with a 9 SMA and a 21 SMA on H4 to determine which pair to trade and where to enter, using this with the Quadrant indicator, is brining in  90% or better wins. The EA could scan the market for suggested st ups, and or trade both automatically and manually. It would be an EA most people would understand the workings of. Most EAs, us laymen don't know what is going on under the bonnet. A money management feature  built in would be great to. One that compounds your account to inclemently increase?decrease lot sizes for each win/loss. On H4 it takes a few minutes to work it out  know, but anything that takes out the donkey work is a good thing. The method I have been following from  Joe Giunta's lessons is . $1000 account, divide % of trade by the stop loss =  lot size....and of course an automatic option to set risk to reward. I think this would make a great EA and you're the man to do it.

Hi Jim 

I installed the EA on my demo account, I enaabled live trading in the common tab 

Yet I am still getting this error 

: Your Ea will not take a trade because you need to enable Allow Live Trading on the "common" tab!"

Help 

Guy, I don't show the smile face on the upper right but the EA does show a bouncing smile face. Does this mean the EA is successfully running?

I uploaded a 5 second video to show what I'm talking about.
