Hi Igorad,

For this EA do I need to install both AllTrendEnvelopes_v2 600+ & ManualTrader_v1.4 600+ to work? Or I'll just need to install one?

Thanks

Both.

The latest version is this one:

- ManualTrader_v1.4 600+ EA is on this post. This version works with Metatrader 4 build 600 and above.

=============

AllTrendEnvelopes_v2 600+ is the indicator, and ManualTrader_v1.4 600+ is the EA.

=============

By the way - I am using this EA for trading - you can see here (this is PolyBands Scalping Oscillator system):

This is from premium section. I mean - I opened the trade based on some manual trading system - and EA will make it all (the rest of all) - processing the trades, moving the stop by trailing and so on.

The style is different from yours.

This is EA so it does not need any indicators on the chart.
You mean - my screenshot from post #42 on this thread with indicators?

Those indicators are PolyBands Scalping Oscillator system from premium section: I am entering the market (open buy or sell) based on this system (we can use any system) and EA is processing the trades.

Info on the left is missing because market is close (because the chart/price is not moved by tick) - you should check on Monday (tomorrow) when the market will be open.
12-14-2014, 02:34 PM

Yup, those screenshot.

So the EA will work even without the PolyBands Scalping Oscillator system? Will this EA be profitable even without it?

Yes, it works with any system.

For example, you find some system and open the trade.
- Without this EA: you need to manage this trade b y yourself by looking/sitting near computer whole the day
- Using this EA - you just open the trade and EA is managing this trade instead of you (you do not need to be near PC all the time).
There are many systems which are providing good entry to the market so we can use them just to open the trade (and EA will manage those trades).

It is profitable if you make good entry, and if you use profitable settings for this EA (your own settings such as take profit and so on).

Ohh OK,

I thought the EA will be the one who will open and close trade if detected a signal.

So basically I am the one who will open the trade and then the EA will just handle if it will close or Take Profit the open trade.
12-14-2014, 03:31 PM
newdigital

Yes. Because many people do not have time to sit near computer monitor all day and night so they can open the trades, and EA will manage those trades.

Hi adamlo,

On this picture I used the following settings:

TrailingMode = 2; // Trailing Stop Mode: 0-off,1-in pips,2-by Up/DownTrend Stop
TrailStop = 0; // Trailing Stop in pips
TrailStopStep = 0; // Trailing Stop Step in pips
csMode = 1; // Exit Mode: 0-off

Hi Igorad , Can you tell if the AllTrendEnvelopes version needs update tov2.1 600+, or is the current version working?
Thanks
03-28-2015, 06:35 PM
newdigital

Hi steam1,

If you are talking about ManualTrader_v1.4 600+ EA so it works with AllTrendEnvelopes_v2 600+ from this post (but, as I understand - ManualTrader_v1.6 600+ EA is not using AllTrendEnvelopes).

dear Igor,

should I go with vps to running this EA?
03-29-2015, 12:47 PM
newdigital

Hi sukarno,

As I understand - this is Manual Trader Ea - it means that you or some other EA should open the trades, and this Manual Trader EA will manage the trades.

Hi igorad,
if I go with TrailingMode == 1 there is no stoplose for an order.
I think there is a bug in the ManualTrader code. Look at it below.

Code:

if(TrailingMode > 0) { if(TrailingMode == 1 && TrailStop > 0) SellStop = NormalizeDouble(_Ask + TrailStop*_point,Digits); if(TrailingMode == 2 && dntrend[0] > 0 && dntrend[0] != EMPTY_VALUE) SellStop = NormalizeDouble(dntrend[0] + TrailStop*_point,Digits); if(SellStop <= NormalizeDouble(OrderStopLoss() - TrailStopStep *_point,Digits)) SellStop = SellStop; else SellStop = OrderStopLoss(); } if(SellStop <= 0) continue;

With the red code, the stoplose will never be hit, because it always stays the TrailStop points over the price.
The same with buy orders.

Hi Gods_Clown,

There is no any bug because it will work if TrailingMode = 1 and TrailStop > 0(eg. TrailStop = 15). At the attached screenshot you can see all trades were closed by the trailing stop in profit.

My thanks to igorad for this great tool.

I would like to put an request out there. I m not sure why this feature can t be found in any of the trade managment tools, but it would help greatly to those of us who stack trades (add to the wining positions).

I would call this a group (stack,basket) SL feature. Basicaly, one defines SL in pips like one normaly does, let s say 30 pips. This 30 pips would be the risk regardles of how many positions i choose to open. For example i open short with 30 pips sl and
the price moves 10 pips in my direction. Than i open a second position, but the price moves back above my first trade. After it reaches 10 pips above my first trade i close BOTH positions (-10 and -20). Meaning....30 PIPS SL. To this manualy is a hastle, specialy with adding 3-4 positions. The feature should be instrument bound, meaning, one should be able to group SL per individual pair.
Stacking (adding) helps with R:R tremendously. If one is correct and ads positions to the wining trade, the R:R can grow to as much as 1:10-1:15. But if one is wrong, all it looses is his original risk.

Igorad, please think about adding this feature.

Hi Igorad,
Thank you for your reply. I found out, that the trailingstop is working for buy orders just fine, but not for sell orders. There is no trailingstop set buy the EA.

Code:

if(SellStop <= NormalizeDouble(OrderStopLoss() - TrailStopStep *_point,Digits)) SellStop = SellStop; else SellStop = OrderStopLoss();

Only if I delete this line from the code, there will be a trailingstop.
If I understand it correctly and with the settings of TrailingMode = 1, TrailStop > 0(eg. TrailStop = 15) and TrailStopStep = 0, it should be this:

Code:

//Example if(SellStop <= NormalizeDouble(OrderStopLoss() - TrailStopStep *_point,Digits)) SellStop = SellStop; else SellStop = OrderStopLoss(); if(1,11696 <= NormalizeDouble(0 - 0 *_point,Digits)) SellStop = SellStop; else SellStop = OrderStopLoss();

The result is always SellStop = 0. So we don't get a trailingstop.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Igor,

Is it possible to enhance the "Take Profit" function with a ATR projected target? This will be similar to the ChandelierStop (for trail stop) except that this time a profit target is projected based on ATR x multiplier.

Refer sample attached.

Hi kay,

You could change these parameters only via the EA input parameters at any time.
