Holy crap!

Has anybody got experience with Deutsche Bank (DBFX)

IG Markets looks promising. Their customer service is great, and they even allow you to hedge. The only drawback that I can see so far (I just opened an account) is they don't use MT4 platform.

Looking for a broker for USA traders

So, who is IB? ... IBFX? If not, I have never heard of them.

IB spreads are tighter than Mbtrading

Maybe you could try opening up two separate charts with separate time frames?

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

So it's bye-bye instant execution with IBFX then? Have always thought that to be a selling feature of a broker, so long as there weren't a lot re-quotes, that is. Or, is it just not practical for brokers to do this?

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

What about setting the slippage though? Isn't that supposed to insure that it doesn't go beyond a certain amount of pips? Or, are you saying brokers don't necessarily have to abide by this? If not, then that's news to me ... but, then again what do ...

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

I'm wondering if it might be better to place the OrderModify() outside of OrderSend() parameters. So if, for whatever reason the order doesn't get modified right away (if this is possible?), there are any number of opportunities to modify the order ...

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

The whole thing seems kind of silly if you ask me. But, if you gotta do it you gotta do it ... So, does this code look alright? if(hedge && Bid>=S_LOOP+s_rge && B==0) { OOP=Ask; T_00[0]=OrderSend(S1,0,lot_b[0],OOP,3,0,0,"B",magic,0,clr_0); ...

Or, what if they are pending orders? Is it still okay to specify TP and SL values when placing pending orders? Maybe this is why my EA still works while backtesting, because these are most of the orders I am placing?

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

What's that, using OrderModify()? Okay, I'm looking at the code of the EA you modified and it appears this is what you did. Thanks.

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

A delay? So, it doesn't place T/P's ad S/L's immediately. I too have an IBFX (mini) account and, although I've noticed they've gone to 5 digits now, I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary ... at least when backtesting anyway. Guess I ...

EA needs code adjusted to IBFX new policy

Okay, this is just let folks know what I came up with. double c_profit=0,h_profit=0,t_profit; datetime OCT,history,history2=history; for(cnt=0; cnt<OrdersHistoryTotal(); cnt++) { OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY); OCT=OrderCloseTime(); ...

Hey, that looks familiar.

Help w/ programming EA: bi-directional trades & trailing stops

Hey, it really does work. Honest. Basically all I needed was someone to point out I was sorting through the orders using the wrong mode. Thanks to Sangmane! And yes 7bit, I took your advice and created two separate loops, one for floating orders ...

Keeping Track of Equity by Pair

Do you mean when and if to determine whether to open a market order? Possibly. Although when I use buystops or sellstops it gives me a definite opening price that allows me to count which level it's at. So far, it's easier to count it that way.

Oh well, it looks like we posted at the same time. I was hoping to get mine in before you did. Of course this page didn't actually tell me where the problem is but, it did give me an idea where to look. No more errors in the journal ...

Keeping Track of Equity by Pair

Okay, I just figured it out. Now this is totally weird. Because somewhere along the line (just recently) I inadvertantly copied and pasted the wrong code. In the order closeall function I'm telling it to delete all trades by HISTORY when, it should ...

Keeping Track of Equity by Pair

Yes, I meant to correct that. I actually went back and corrected the two or three instances on the EA I was working on. But, when I did a copy and paste from the previous post I forgot it was there. Because this is what I'm most familiar and ...
