Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009I gave you the profit factor. Profit factor => Gross win / Gross loss, right? My apologies if I seem like a scrooge. This EA was one of the private EAs which I trade with. I have never seen the underlying concept here on FF before, thus, I think ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009Uhh... are you saying just have the ticks added to a csv file or similar? I'm not too sure about the file-handling functions in php. My other concern is weeding out bad data. Some users have reverse-engineered the request page and were sending bad ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009At the minimum Rabid, I think I'd be pushing $80/month with Amazon. I'm keen on not spending too much. I'm considering something akin to the BitTorrent infrastructure to collect and distribute ticks, but I'm not entirely sure how that will work--yet.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009If I wanted to host the files, I would just use rapidshare, megaupload, storage.to, hotfile, etc. The tricky part is hosting the database itself.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009Find the metatrader folder. Copy it Paste it in a different place with a different name Repeat as necessary. Note: You will have to run "terminal.exe" from inside each folder to open each new instance. I suggest you create shortcuts.
How can i run several platforms from the same broker on my system at the same time?

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009The Tick uploaders on the metatrader terminal only upload the first 6 characters of the pair's name. This will always upload the currency pairs properly, and silver...gold and oil are trickier. Now that MoForce introduced me to the substr function ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 24, 2009This EA really can't backtest because it uses historical bar data to generate its statistics. I won 8 and lost 6, in 1 week, averaged 3 trades a day, and never had a losing day. I'm quite happy, especially now that I'm in the 50 lot range.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009Actually.... If you prefer, I could upload a raw sql file somewhere and you can try and play with the data there.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009Each pair has its own table. Are you suggesting I make one large super-table? As for data access, I'm working on it. The old database was 4GB (30million rows), and it's taking a long time to query data. I'm currently trying to export that to a bunch ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009I'm trying to add those in, but I have a problem... Some brokers add suffixes to their pairs. So GOLD on one broker would be GOLD_fx on another. I'm trying to figure out how to detect and use those. The new host is www.Webhostingpad.com, and I have ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009I originally thought you were only using the script to place trades, I didn't realize the script was working along side other trades. This new script does the following: Scans through all open and historic trades. Finds most recent trade. Gets lot ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009Hmm.... if you want the last lot size used.... double LastLot = 0; datetime RecentTrade = 0; int Totals = OrdersTotal(): for (int T = Totals; T > 0; T--) { OrderSelect(T, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); if(OrderOpenTime() > RecentTrade) { LastLot = ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009Just take out Symbol() Your OrderSend is in the wrong place. If you are simply using some MM function, why do you need lot size history? You reset the variable, then get the value from globalvariables.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009I wasn't sure how you were going to manipulate the lot size, so I showed you where that would happen--if it did. LotScript is a string, not a variable. I also made an assumption that you will trade different lot sizes for different pairs, so the ...

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009I should probably point out that in the week that I released this EA, it has only taken 14 trades, 8 win, 6 loss.

Ronald Raygun replied Dec 23, 2009wh1zz0's right, this EA is designed to find the optimal places to trade based off of the criteria generated. Also, what is your Testing Quality on that TF? And, no the EA is perfectly capable of taking a trade on its own, provided "SignalsOnly" is ...
