Help with OrderSend( ) Function dans Programmation Jan 04, 2011 at 02:58

double Stoploss = 50;double Takeprofit = 50;int start(){ int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,1.0,Ask,3,0,0,"Order #1",1234,0,Red);if(ticket == -1) Print("error-",GetLastError()); else OrderModify(ticket,OrderOpenPrice(),Ask-50*Point*10,Ask+50*Point*10,CLR_NONE);return(0);}You are probably dealing with a market execution broker(I don't use IBFX, so I am not sure). That means that you can only enter a stoploss & takeprofit AFTER they return a trade to you. This is simply because you do not know what price you will recieve from them......with market execution your s...

Use of martingale strategy dans Traders Expérimentés Dec 22, 2010 at 12:34

Paul,You could always just look at the difference between the balance and the equity. Of course if you are trading multiple currencies and/or strategies, then by necessity you would have to sort through the various orders using OrderSelect in order to target the trades that should be closed.

Lol, don't I wish. Nah, its just funds that were deposited in the first place.

Ben, I have been with them for a year. I have done several withdrawals including one last night of just over $14000. Based on my previous experience with Jade, the money will be back in my bank account by tommorrow.

Manual Trading Versus EAs Trading, Which Do You Prefer? dans Traders Expérimentés Sep 28, 2010 at 03:23

Ah, ok, apologies. I mis-understood:-)I hear you......

Manual Trading Versus EAs Trading, Which Do You Prefer? dans Traders Expérimentés Sep 27, 2010 at 21:56

Gil, sorry mate, I do not have an ego problem. I know where I stand in the order of things. But I do take issue with people who say I am lazy. I stand by my view that they speak out of failure or ignorance when they say things like that.

Manual Trading Versus EAs Trading, Which Do You Prefer? dans Traders Expérimentés Sep 27, 2010 at 19:03

I prefer using EA's. Sure, a skilled manual trader may beat an EA, but these skilled manual traders are few and far between, present company included.As to EA traders being lazy, well, I hear that a lot. I don't know why people think that.....perhaps it is people that have failed at automated trading trying to justify to themselves why they couldn't cut it.

"unknown command" in MT4 dans Programmation Sep 26, 2010 at 04:58

Sorry MaryJane, while your post is good valid information, in this case it is technically incorrect.I too have never seen this error, but the first thing that strikes me as odd is the fact that the error is located in the journal. Your EA's cannot write anything to the journal ever. They write to your experts tab. The journal tells you about terminal operations, so it will tell you whether or not an EA is loaded, if an email leaves the terminal, whether you are connected to the broker and the results of trade instructions sent.The fact that this is in the journal tells me that the error is...

Ouch, that has gotta hurt........Alex, I feel for you buddy. I have been there myself, but not on quite as grand a scale as this😲My guess would be robominer?? And you are probably hoping like hell the SNB will come to your rescue........Hope it works out for ya. Good luck.

why traders hide their records history? dans Général Sep 21, 2010 at 09:39

Server side stops mean nothing.......I often use internal stops that are controlled by my EA's, so the trade history will tell you nothing.Judging by ranesh's system he is trading about 0.2 lots per $10 000(you know how to work that out right?), but that means nothing if you do not know where his stops are. However, judging by the equity graph he has seen an excursion of at least 225 pips since late August.I have yet to hear a meaningful argument why trades HAVE to be made public. Olive, you openly state that this man(and me by association) has something to hide........why don't yo...

why traders hide their records history? dans Général Sep 21, 2010 at 08:16

olive,Have you been following anything discussed above.......First off, his motives for wanting investors are irrelevant and your questioning this is simply silly.Secondly, go have a good look at his system. What in those closed trades do you need to see so badly that you cannot deduce from the available stats????You can see that the system has 100% win rate. It is also apparent that this is because trades are not closed. Is this because of a huge stoploss, or is there some other strategy at play? Well the trade history isn't gonna tell you this is it?What you do is go to the relevant syst...

why traders hide their records history? dans Général Sep 20, 2010 at 14:39

Gil,Thank you for your kind words. I have been following your system and you have a very generous spirit, so I understand where you are coming from.Now, my only point is that certain people here have almost criminilised keeping trades private and for no good reason other that their own curiosity........and that goes very much against the "Each to their own" spirit. Anyway, talking of giving, you should visit the indo forum sometime, we are developing a really nifty semi-automated EA there if you are interested in bollinger bands.😉

why traders hide their records history? dans Général Sep 20, 2010 at 13:42

Gil,Sorry bud, I have to disagree with you.Lets put aside abundance mentality and all that good stuff, you are probably correct about the number of people that can actually correctly reverse engineer a system.I think you already know me as a fairly giving person....I just feel that I should be entitled to keep some things private, and I should be able to do so without the accusations of inability to trade, dishonesty or any number of nefarious things people like to accuse us of. I give when I need to and at the same time, when I say this is as far as you can look, I expect people to respect th...

why traders hide their records history? dans Général Sep 08, 2010 at 16:10

olive,I have yet to see a sensible argument for opening my trade history......What do you think you can find in my trade history that the performance figures(equity, etc) do not already tell you?If you have a live account that has been around for long enough, the actual trades are irrelevant.Frankly, this place is filled with traders falling over each other to try and figure out what the next guy is doing.....and the only people the hidden history irks are the other traders.Steve, I'm not sellling anything, so there is zero upside to showing the trade history.

Actually he has been banned from donnaforex and there aren't any cracked EA's there. Seems he justneeds to learn some manners.

Questions on PAMM accounts dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 30, 2010 at 11:58

Paul,Yes you are correct about placing your order within the spread. Seems strange, maybe they are not ECN/STP then. Does the order window offer you a market order or an instant order?

Questions on PAMM accounts dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 30, 2010 at 10:13

You can place limit and stop orders at the Bid/Ask price on a ECN.

Questions on PAMM accounts dans Traders Expérimentés Aug 30, 2010 at 09:54

Paul, I don't trade with IBFX so I am not really in a position to comment, but 3 pips stop level seems excessive. May I ask you how you know that it is 3 pips. Did you interrogate the terminal directly to determine stop levels?Also bring up the New Order dialogue.....in the order type selection, does it say 'Market' or 'Instant' execution?
