ecTrade replied May 19, 2010It also helps if you have lots of money in your account. That way you won't need to wager nearly as much, and still remain relatively profitable. Or, let's say you had $50,000 in your account and made $100 a day trading at 0.1 lot (on mini account). ...

ecTrade replied May 19, 2010Have you looked in the Trading Systems folder? There any number of scalping systems there, including EA's. You just have to be willing to sort through it.

ecTrade replied May 19, 2010Heh, I tried it yesterday with IBFX demo trading up to 7 pairs at 15M TF and made a hundred bucks with original settings! And, all this time not one trade went higher than level 4. I think it's pretty cool.
Of course that doesn't mean it won't ...SWB Martingale EA

ecTrade replied May 19, 2010Oh, if you're unsure how to set it up, it's basically described in this post here and, in the posts following (regarding first trade factor).

ecTrade replied May 19, 2010No, it has to do with the way I set up the indicator. When it gives a buy signal the EA looks to sell. When it gives a sell signal the EA looks to buy, etc. That's because, like you say, all (or most) trades are counter-trend. Now, when the ...

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010How about Heiken Ashi set in reverse? I think it helps a little anyway. Oh, it won't work if you try it in forward.

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010Okay, I think I fixed it. It had something to do with my setting it up on a mini account, which shouldn't have been carried over to the standard account. So I added a mini_account=true feature (set to false), which should only apply to a mini ...

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010Okay, I opened five separate pairs on IBFX 5 digit mini account and not much was happening until I set timeframe to 15 minutes. Now all have at least one trade open. Of the three I looked at with one trade, they are averaging about 21 pips (some ...

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010Well, I guess maybe I had better do some forward testing then. I expect it will take awhile before anything develops though. By the way, did you try backtesting yourself? It might be telling (and give us some place else to look) if you couldn't get ...

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010Yes, it appears to be closing all orders (during backtest) at the same price, whether using the TP Close_All or not. At least it did with the first 100 orders or so. I have something else in the works. Maybe you might be interested in that? You'll ...

ecTrade replied May 18, 2010Okay, I just tried it on a 5 digit account and am basically getting the same results as with the 4 digit account so, it appears to be working. There is one other possible thing that I can think of here. I set it up and am testing it on a mini ...

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Maybe I could try adding a manual Close_All in the properties box? So, once it's initiated, it won't allow any new trades to be placed until the current ones have been closed. And, in the process maybe it will get reset as it did with the previous ...

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Okay, I just backtested it and was looking at the results and noticed there were any number of single entries that closed out at $2.10, and it was consistent throughout. This tells me that my calculations are correct, except for the extra $0.10, ...

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Except of course you don't know that they are exactly equal. If they are off by just a little bit, they won't be recognized as equal, and the function will try and pass them in the way you are suggesting. Have you tried normalizing both sides as RR ...

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Yeah, I was basing my reply on what you said in your second post, and that kind threw me. I was stating what seemed obvious, to me or, at least questionable. Having said that, it would probably be best to stand back and let you and one or two of ...

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Why can't you just try ... if (entry != OrderOpenPrice()...? If as you say, both are 4 digits, there is no need to normalize it. Or, if they are not 4 digits (and are greater), then by declaring entry=OrderOpenPrice() should cover it. Of course that ...
OrderModify Error
-
ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Oh, at what point are you saying entry=OrderOpenPrice()...? Because once you do, then the two should be exact (or, I've never had a problem here), and there shouldn't be any need to Normalize it. And, of course once you do, there's a good chance ...
OrderModify Error

ecTrade replied May 17, 2010Why NormalizeDouble(entry,4)...? Why not NormalizeDouble(entry,Digits)...? Are you sure it's a 4 digit account? As for OrderOpenPrice() variable, I would assume it's specified in Digits but, I could be mistaken?
