ecTrade replied Apr 27, 2010The thing about this though, at least with IBFX, I can request transfer of funds, and it only takes one or two minutes. So, if one account starts to get low, I can transfer funds from the other account. The main thing is that I'm making money ...

ecTrade replied Apr 27, 2010Actually, if you have an account that allows hedging, then all you have to do is open two separate charts, and on one chart open only buy orders, and on the other open only sell orders. That way it's not so risky and you don't have to worry so much ...

ecTrade replied Apr 27, 2010Well, so far it's been about three hours since I opened the trades, and thus far I'm about breaking even. However, I had two successful trades at $.53 each. And guess what? One was a EURJPY Buy, and the other a EURJPY Sell ... which only goes to ...

No misunderstanding here. While it's interesting that you and I should think about it at the same time.
Well, technically you are hedging and, so long as one side doesn't go crazy, you should be able ...Help with EA ... More Fun with Dazz

ecTrade replied Apr 27, 2010Hey, I just figured out a way to hedge with IBFX. As I already said, I have two accounts so, all I need to do is open up sell only trades in one account and buy only trades in the other. Of course I already knew I could do this, this is why I opened ...

ALERT set to go off every 5 minutes

ecTrade replied Apr 26, 2010Bad Internet connection? I suppose. But like I said, I'm not having any problem getting it to work on my IBFX (mini) account so, I don't know what to say? Okay, I just checked, and I still have a copy of the .set file you sent me. Maybe I'll take a ...

ecTrade replied Apr 26, 2010Yes, I am fairly certain the Alarm Wave will handle the overshoot here. Yes, I think that's what he's saying. This is what the Auto_Refresh_Alarm should do, create a continuous loop within itself, which is why it has to be placed on a chart by ...

ecTrade replied Apr 26, 2010Auto_Refresh_Alarm ... — How about this? It should (haven't tested it yet) run independently of your EA and update automatically every 100 milliseconds. You will have to attach it to a separate chart though, and need to create a global ...

ecTrade replied Apr 25, 2010You can try this. Currently it's setup for a 10 second delay and 1000 iterations. Just set it to whatever values you want and change text to what you want it to display on alert. Also, where it says "abc==0," change this to parameters used for ...

ecTrade replied Apr 25, 2010You can try setting the alarm to ">=" instead of "==" .... That way if it overshoots, which is what it sounds like you're saying, it will still sound off at the next tick update.

ecTrade replied Apr 25, 2010Okay, I finally got around to looking at it. I set it (Time Out option) up on a 4 digit IBFX mini account, while backtesting, and it appears to be working okay. Is this what you're talking about ... or, is it something else? If you're still ...

ecTrade replied Apr 21, 2010Oh, if you would really like to close early, then set Equity_Target to 0.01 or something like that (instead of 1.25). That way it averages everything out so if there's more than one order open, it will close out at or about the break even point. I ...

ecTrade replied Apr 21, 2010Yes, this is what the Equity_Target is supposed to do. If you set it too high though, it won't work. I'm thinking of a way of averaging it though, so when the equity really builds up (after several orders have closed), and it's that close to the ...

ecTrade replied Apr 21, 2010I looked at it briefly and it seemed to be working okay. Yes, as near as I can tell, it's working. No, I think the Power Lots is okay, you just have to be careful how you use it. Really? I'm doing well over 90%, I think? My only main concern, as I ...

ecTrade replied Apr 20, 2010Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, being "lucky" is not good enough. We have to try and find a way to minimize the risk. I don't like the way the equity line (green) lags below the blue. Plus it doesn't show everything and the account balance can ...
