So is anyone having any success with this EA?

i think it needs a little more tweeking. it does not open trades for me

Can you post your log files and screenshots if possible, just the more info you can provide then it should be easier to find any bugs/problems so easier to solve :slight_smile:

Hi all,
seems very strange because I’ve tried and it opens trades. Which broker do you use? What logs file say?

hey guys sorry i have been away i was trying to avoid the temptation of trading today as a bank holiday in most countries around the would, let me give you a feedback tomorrow london open. thankyou all for your inputs

here’s my chart today and still…

any inputs here sheriffonline? i have been following your thread with much interest

Hi what about your log files in MT4, are there any errors or comments at all regarding this time of day?

hi sandy, there are no error comments about the ea at all. just shows that it was loaded successfully

Thanks for info,i will try it…

guys i found a log file and this is what it says

[I]1;39;;;Function “TotalHistoryOrders” is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
1;39;;;Function “FoundRecentOpenedOrder” is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file[/I]

i guess whats causing the problem

I got those same errors and on backtest I am getting the following:

skyplay_EA_v1_1 EURUSD,H1: OrderSend error 131

I fixed that error on the backtest by setting the lot size to 1. The results are not that promising though for 1st Jan to 1st May, but haven’t had a lot of time to play with it.

Ok so possibly then the problem is the EA needs to figured for trading micro lots 0.01?

What are your results so far for the EA ?

Not sure, this is the first EA I have played around with :slight_smile:

A backtest with the sample MACD EA with default settings produces better results.

Hi all,

  1. 1;39;;;Function “TotalHistoryOrders” is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file
    1;39;;;Function “FoundRecentOpenedOrder” is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file

These are only a warning. The EA should work.
Have you tried to do a backtest? (use some months ago because often the last month has bad history data on metatrader).
These days I’ll try to keep open the EA to understand if something is wrong.

ps. Keep in mind that in the EA stop and profit are hardcoded as
extern double tp = 0.002;
extern double sl = 0.002;

I suppose that if you have a 4-digit broker you have to change that. Obv feel free to change EA code in anyway :slight_smile:

If this is the issue is it too difficult to make the EA auto detect if you have a 4 or 5 digit broker, just to make life easier for everyone testing the EA ?
