Anyone got a solution?
Thanks
Greetings. If you folks are still interested in Predator and running it, I'm developing a much more robust version with considerably safer features. Let me know. I didn't think anyone was really running it anymore.

Thankserror 121 is "Invalid trade volume".
Trade volume is lot size.
It may be the following:
- EA is trying to open the orders by 0.01 lot size but minimum for your account/broker is 0.1
- or you set EA to trade mini but you are having standard account
and so on.

I just started to test.
If you ask for the ideas ...
I already have few ideas such as:
1. timefilter to trade at GMT night only (timefilter for martingale cycle). Same with Frank_mod EA for example https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/178485/page5
2. some account protection options - same with Alpha EA https://www.mql5.com/en/forum for example - see this post https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/178132/page37
such as
AccountEquityPercentProtection = 90; // percent of the account Equity left to activate a hard stop loss on a set of trades. (it is related to our DD).
and after that
HoursToRestart = 96; // Hours need to restart after a Equity Stop Trigger. (if all the orders were closed by stop loss as AccountEquityPercentProtection so EA will start to trade once again after 96 hours).
and
PercentEquityTrailing =5; // Percent of profit to start the closure off all the orders.
and after that
HoursToRestart = 96; // Hours need to restart
For example (the numbers are the examples only):
- if balance is 1000 and equity 900 (10%) so all trades will be closed (in loss) and EA will not trade for some hours (or days).
- if balance is 1000 and equity is 1100 so all the trades will be closed (in profit) and EA will not trade for some hours (or days).
But to use this account protection options so it will be necessary to use same magic number for all the pairs ...
Or it may be different?
Because it is protection for whole account with many pairs ...
So, it should be done something with magic number for the EA to trade many with same magic number ...
Besides, it may be good if EA will type on the chart (on every chart/pairs) as maximum margins, maximum drawdown and so on - some usefull information for every pairs just to decide about minimum deposite size (but without global variables).
Hi Bluto - I'm not running the current version but would certainly be interested in the more robust version you mentioned
