The EA already waits between the 2 trades for the "trade context" to be available; I think the "trade context" state is handled by the broker, so when it says "ready" then it means the trade can be sent and the broker should accept it. What i've ...

So option 1 is more like re-entry, while option 2 is true recovery (averaging). Although option 1 is also probably recovery, as when stoch keeps reaching higher values means price is continuing in the same direction, therefore opposite of what we ...

This is strange. The EA closes trades based on the magicnumber. Both trades are opened with the same magicnumber. If it doesn't find one of them in the list of opened trades, it means it was closed perhaps manually or by another EA running in ...

I thought CashStopLoss was what you were looking for... If not, then please explain again. A 3-levels re-entry option, is that the idea ? Sq

you have probably put the indicator in the /experts folder (that's where EAs only should be). Move it to /experts/indicators instead. sq

Good point! I had it coded with iBarShift() in another indicator that needed the stochastic of the pairs for a timeframe different than the one of the current chart. I'll try that and see if it changes anything and makes it stable. As for "e", this ...

So now our only solution is to use a tick data source and rebuild our own history and use only that one... Do you know if iClose(Pair,0,0) possibly give different results from MarketInfo(Pair,MODE_BID) ? MarketInfo(Pair,MODE_BID) is probably the ...

very interesting phenomenon! This confirms what i was saying about the stochastic values that sometimes seemed to be taken from the next bar or even 2 bars in the future... ! EDIT: i just read your answer above, and looked at your code; the ...

This was also my initial thought. I wanted to have a confirmation of this. I knew the "accident" had to do with the Lot sizes and their signs, and therefore the direction of the simulated trades taken against the Stoch Diff and the way the strategy ...

thanks for that SMJ, that 's very interesting information... I think i did something similar in my release, by waiting for each bar open, and i have even added a 5 more seconds delay. I will try replacing the iStochstich() with a function that ...

Ok, i'm up after a few hours of sleep... Thread was quiet during the night... Yes, very interesting method indeed. I like the "TimelessGraph" mode. Clever way of plotting an equity curve! I hope to be able to sched some light on my suspicious ...

Hi Mediator, many thanks for this very nice equity backtester, well done! I spent a few hours playing with it, made some changes (couldn't resist...) and i think i found something really interesting "by accident" -- while changing the code, testing ...

the EA enters when 80% (OpenTradeStoch) is reached, but then it won't enter a new set until trades have closed at CloseTradesStoch level (20% or lower); or cash ProfitTarget is reached. No risk to open/close 100 times in 10 minutes if open and close ...

Hedge and Correlation Strategy

yes... that's the way it is with "single-pair" EAs -- well it trades 2-pairs, but that's 1 couple per chart only. MagicNumber set to 0 should work if all "couples" are different. Actually it should also work if 2 couples are identical, but different ...

Hedge and Correlation Strategy

hmmmm.... that happened to me when i had wrongly set OpenTradeStoch to be less than CloseTradesStoch... so i added a check on it and it should spit a warning if this is the case (and no trade). If you set ProfitTarget to 0, then it should trade only ...

Hedge and Correlation Strategy

well... the warning says it all i guess... You should set the upper-right label to something different from "GBPCAD": this will be your second pair. An alternative is to change the "Pair2" input of either the Indi or the EA. -- they will both adjust ...
