TickScalper EA - page 27

 

ND,

I do have a micro demo acct, My other EA Firdbird works and it also uses 0.01 which I can see in the P/L calculation. I have provided pictures.

The 1st one is "trbl-1" with TS_TimeFrame at -1 which does the in and out of the indicator.

The 2nd one is preset new settings with off course TS_TimeFrame at = 1. Different journal but same outcome. I changed the lot size to 1, 0.1, 0.01 and got the same result.

The 3rd shot is using the same PC with the same 3.44 and the new preset using MB Trading which is what I had been using all along up till now.

I know what you mean by different brokers thats part of my decision to go with FXCM as well as the USA rule changes.

Firebird, Scalpenet work?? I'll try Alpha.

Thanks again for your interest in my problem,

 

I do not understand from your images about what is the problem sorry. If everything is working so that's fine.

Tick scalper works for FXCM. I just made the statements for tomorrow for this week by pairs and trying to upload it to my PC.

I did not try to test new Firebird yet https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/general

Mandarine martingale works (IBFX and FXCM), new turbo scalp net works (for some pairs).

Step EA does not work for IBFX with same settings as for Alpari for example. And same case with Goldwarrior (I think - the Goldwarrior can be improved in the same way as Firebird for example).In case of those EA - it is the better to use RAS service as RAS works with any broker whatever it ecn/stp for example.

New Terminator works good for IBFX and FXCM.

New Brainwashing works good for H4 timeframe for FXCM (I am using FXCM for this new version).

and some more ....

 

ND,

I spoke with FXCM and they are going to work with me Sunday evening, or so I'm told. I'll let you know the results.

Thanks for the heads up on the different brokers and their problems!

How do you generate the Summary Report, is that a MT4 option I've missed?

How do you generate the Summary Report, is that a MT4 option I've missed?

Yes, MT option, besides - I am using some tools to generate the statements by pairs, in pips and in dollars, weekly and totally, besides - visual statements with max floating drawdown.

TickScalper_v3.44 EA version.

More safe settings.

M1 timeframe.

EURGBP

Some conclusion from the past account (which was disabled):

- 3,000 initial deposit is too small one for this kind of scalping EA;

- selecting good broker is 50% of the sucess.

ND,

Some of these pairs haven't traded for 3 weeks, yet I'm running the same set up on my MBtrading demo and they have traded several times in the last week. Have they been removed.?? E-G is only one that traded last week.

Since I've converted your GMT+1 hours; start 6 end 22 to my GMT-5 start 0 end 16, I haven't had any problem or losses YET.

Question:

UK in GMT0 opens at GMT0 08:00 & closes at GMT0 15:00

Eur in GMT+1 opens at GMT0 07:00 & Closes at GMT0 14:00

US in GMT-5 Opens at GMT0 13:00 & Closes at GMT0 20:00

Aussie in GMT+10 Opens at GMT0 22:00 & Closes At GMT0 05:00

Asian GMT+9 opens at GMT0 00:00 & slows at GMT0 03:00

NG Strat Opens at GMT0 05:00 & Closes At GMT0 21:00

How did you arrive at GMT+1 Start 06:00 and close 22:00 ????

or GMT0 Start 05:00 and close 21:00

or GMT-5 Start 00:00 and close 16:00

Don't get me wrong IT WORKS but if I want to try and improve on the hours or add other pairs with different hours I would like to understanding how you got to 6 & 22.

If any of the above is wrong please comment. Still waiting for FXCM to call about start problem

Thank you

Ray

 

To say a true - I did not think so much about trading hours as it was proposed by original author/coder of this EA so this EA should be traded during the GMT day time.

As to the pairs so I am switching some pairs off when they are achieving some max lot size according to my understanding. For example - if some pair is "martingaling" up to lot size 0 3 or more so I am giving this pair the break for some days. It is necessary to do if you use 'safe' and 'more safe' settings. It is not necessary to do if you are using 'super more safe' as in case of 'super more safe' settings - you will not have big lot size often.

Read here:

https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/179720/page8

What is the difference between this settings?

'more safe' - it may be big final martingaled lot size but floating drawdown is small, or if big so it will be for the short period of time.

'super more safe': lot size will not be big but floating drawdown may be more than 1,000 dollars for many days.

So, "reducing" lot size by selecting the settings - we are increasing the floating drawdown on the same time.

"increasing" lot size by seleting the settings - we are reducing floating drawdown on the same time by it may be the risk for such as "margin call".

So, it is the dilemma.

 

Profit Taking

ND,

Here is a shot of my MBT trading chart.

The GBPAUD 3313842 -"12.80 pips" was down -217 down then it I watched go up to 534 so I had an overall GA profit of +375 which made my day & exit but the EA stayed in and now its dw -359. I'm using the moresafe settings with EDT hours 0-16.

What can I change to get out with that earlier profit??

Ray

PS while I putting this script together the GBPAUD 3313842 -"12.80 pips is dw -543.
