I seem to have got rid of it now anyway - just changed true on big numbers and horizontallineSR to false and it stopped - I am on a 4 digit broker so changed all the lot size stuff as well.

Took a manual long on the 1hr audusd in demo 17 pips so 1st play trade was a success - no auto trades as yet

Cheers padman. The fact that the errors disappeared when you changed some settings show that there is a bug in the code - evidently not serious but I will track it down.

I cannot replicate the errors on my platform. Make sure you have the latest version, attached.

Default Part close and jumpstop

Hello all.
I went ahead and started a demo with a broker that allows hedging.For this test, I am using the 15m tf to make it possible for some actual trades to open since using the daily tf does not always allow for open trades.

If I am reading this area of the manual correctly:
8. Jumping stop settings: the robot can set a jumping stop based on your setting in
JumpingStopPips. Remember to adjust your settings for 4 digit criminals. This
feature is not a part of Ash's live manual strategy.
I. JumpingStop: set this to 'true' to use this feature.
II. JumpingStopPips: the number of pips the stop must jump by.
III. JumpAfterBreakevenOnly: defaults to 'true' and stops the robot from jumping
the sl until the trade is already at breakeven, which will happen at the end of the
candle if the trade is in profit.
9. Part close settings:
I. PartCloseEnabled: this addresses the part of the system that closes half the
trade at the end of the first candle in which the trade is in profit. What happens
depends on these two settings:
II. Close_Lots: the proportion of the trade to close. The robot will do this with
every new candle until the trade is left with only Preserve_Lots lots.
III. Preserve_Lots: the lot size beneath which the robot will not close any more of
the trade.
IV. AutoCalculatePartClose: set this to true to tell the robot to calculate 50% of a
successful open trade to close at the end of the candle. This figure will grow with
the growing lot size if the robot is also automatically calculating the lot sizes.
This will only function if enabled when the trade is sent; sending a trade and
then setting this to true will not work. PartCloseEnabled must be true for this
function to work.
I would think this would apply to the audjpy trade in the attached? I do have
jumpingstop pips as 50.

Just checked the audjpy trade that was at +117 pips in the attached.It is now at -89 pips.I must have something not set correctly?
Have a nice weekend all.

The robot will only set a jumping stop after the stop loss has been moved to breakeven, which in turn only happens when a candle closes, the trade is in profit and the robot has closed 50% of the original trade, as per the strategy.

Having said that, the trade should have half-closed as you have the robot on a 15 min chart, so I will do the same on Monday. In the meantime, could you post a pic with the trade comments showing as well, please?

Coded fixes for the bugs uncovered by Pavel at FF. At least, I think I have - the code is pretty straightforward, but we shall see. 'Tis working ok in strategy tester. The bugs are in the stop loss functions; they have not shown up on my demo because I am using hedging rather than stops.

Added a couple of new inputs. From the relevant parts of the user guide:
  • MinStopLoss: the smallest stop loss you will accept if you are not using hedging to manage losing trades.
  • BreakEvenProfit: this allows you to lock in some of the profit at breakeven time. It tells the robot to add\subtract this figure from the breakeven stop loss.

Hello Steve and thank you for the update.I guess I could go back to my fxsol demo to check out the sl problem I was having before I switched to the hedging broker?
On the hedging broker, results are looking great.I have the gif you asked for, but I don't see any comments regarding hedge in the comments section on the audjpy trade?
Thanks again for all the great work!

I have added a slippage allowance to the trade sending function.

Hi Steve,
I am trying to test your EA, but I always get errors like:
"2009.10.25 19:38:05 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (high value 1.4713 at 2009.01.19 00:00 and price 1.4887 mismatched)
"
Do you have a sample configuration for a currency like GPB/USD or other,
that I can start with?

Ignore them. They are strategy tester thingies that are nowt to do with the robot.
