As a half way, and much easier solution, you can have the ea give the user a signal, email or whatever, when an update is available. This may not work for the lazy or extremely busy trader but I think it would help most, those who are unaware.

Self-updating code?

I'm still alive but buried in work at the moment. The % stopgap I can do easy. The secure profit bit I don't know how to do so I'll have to study one of the ea's that have this feature and see if I can borrow it... For the hedging we may need some ...

thanks for testing. Error 0 = no error, so that's good. The orders not taking profit, are they hedge orders? For now, the hedges don't have a tp. The other orders do, I'll look at that piece of code again. On the currencies that don't open, does it ...

I'll have to look into this error. I don't get the error when testing myself. Do you have "drawlines" to true? Do you have the sixths indicator on there already? It could be that it tries to draw lines on the screen when they are already there. That ...

on this recoded version you can close out one level without closing the others...

Ok, here's what I got so far. It opens a pending order once a line has been crossed by "StopGapPoints". It then trails the price if it continues to move in the same direction. This means there will only be one pending order at the time (if I got it ...

I've been working on a new version with pending orders and some other bells and whistles. I'm still testing it because I'm not sure everything works as intended and I'm also not sure if my ideas work. Anyway, it's on my home pc so I will upload it ...

aha, in that case I got the lotsize wrong. I'm a bit short on time today but I'll see if I can do it this week. It shouldn't take much time to change.

ok, I've recoded the sixths ea and I've also added the 242 recovery system, I've tested it for a few days but it will need more testing before we can be sure that it runs as intended. As with any piece of code it will contain bugs, I hope that you ...

I'm working on recoding the sixths ea in a manner so that at least I understand the coding (and hopefully most of you will too). It's sort of working but it still needs some testing to see if it's working the same as the original one. Once I got the ...

well, "several months" is just a guess. We don't know when things will quiet down. "Normal" big news stories usually play out in a few days or hours, for instance a change in interest rate. So you just wait for a few hours or a day and you're good ...

Sorry to hear your account got into trouble Jay. The reason that this system was so good is that the market ranges about 70% of the time and at those times it's profitable. Now we're in the other 30% and we should stay out. I think the main ...

the magic number is the number you use when opening your order. The ea can then later use this as an identifier. for more info check: url

Opening Too Many Positions

I think successful is not the right word for this week, this week is all about damage control. I've been using "Sixth Screen EA V3.2z", which doing fine until this week. It has the indicator included into the coding so it is easier to work with and ...

Mine still keeps staring at my trades, doing nothing (even though I have set it to "manage all" and trailing stop, tried many values, doesn't seem to make a difference). Meanwhile it's still spamming my experts tab with: "Multi Purpose Trade ...

Multi-purpose trade management EA

I know US brokers don't allow hedging anymore. I'm with Alpari UK and they do allow 100% hedging. Also, today is election day in GB and from a political point of view it's quite interesting and exciting, I'm not sure what the GBP will do, may not be ...

I was thinking about hedging last night when I saw that happen (btw, the chf was matching the eur tick by tick as I was watching both 1minute charts). I hedged my usd and chf trades and took my losses. I'm still in the audnzd and audchf trades ...

I can only imagine how ugly things are at this moment for those who use the ea on a short timeframe. I just switched the ea off and placed some hedge trades with a tight trailing stop.

Thanks Mr Hopwood for this fine program and all those other ea's you choose to share on these forums. I've used your Multi purpose trade management ea in the past and it worked fine but for some reason I now get "unknown mode 4 for MarketInfo" and ...

It seems I was getting the recovery plan out too soon on earlier occasions, I should sit on the trades a bit longer to let them brew. Thanks for the advice! On another note, has anyone ever tried to trade the opposite way? So trade in the same ...
