ManualTrader EA

Hi,

I think this EA could be useful for the manual traders. There are a lot of options:

• Stoploss/Takeprofit placement
• Stepped Trailing stop
• Breakeven with pips lock in
• Partial Close by Target and Percent
• ability to backtest your settings
  
  
  Code:

  extern string     Expert_Name          = "ManualTrader_v1.0.1";
  
  extern int        Magic                =     0;    // Magic Number
  extern int        Slippage             =     3;
  
  extern double     StopLoss             =    50;    // StopLoss in pips 
  extern double     TakeProfit           =   100;    // TakeProfit in pips 
  extern double     TrailStop            =    15;    // Trailing Stop in pips
  extern double     TrailStopStep        =    15;    // Trailing Stop Step in pips
  extern double     PartCloseTgt         =    50;    // Partial Close Target in pips
  extern double     PartClosePct         =  50.0;    // Partial Close Position Percent
  extern double     BreakEven            =    50;    // Breakeven in pips  
  extern double     PipsLockIn           =     5;    // Profit Lock in pips if Breakeven is achieved 
  extern int        DebugMode            =     1;    // Switch of Debug mode (0-off;1-on) 
  extern int        CommentMode          =     1;    // 0-Comment off,1-on 
  extern int        ECN_Mode             =     1;    // 0-off,1-on(will modify Stoploss and TakeProfit) 
  extern int        DrawTarget           =     1;    // 0-off,1-on
  
  extern string     forTest              = "Parameters for Testing:";
  extern double     Lots                 =     1;    // Trade Volume 
  extern int        MA_period            =     5;    // MA period
  extern int        MA_mode              =     0;    // MA mode

extern int        Slippage             =     3;

extern double     RiskFactor           =     5;    // Risk Factor(in %) for StopLoss calculation  
extern double     StopLoss             =    0;    // StopLoss in pips 
extern double     TakeProfit           =   100;    // TakeProfit in pips 
extern double     TrailStop            =    15;    // Trailing Stop in pips
extern double     TrailStopStep        =    15;    // Trailing Stop Step in pips
extern double     PartCloseTgt         =    50;    // Partial Close Target in pips
extern double     PartClosePct         =  50.0;    // Partial Close Position Percent
extern double     BreakEven            =    50;    // Breakeven in pips  
extern double     PipsLockIn           =     5;    // Profit Lock in pips if Breakeven is achieved 
extern int        DebugMode            =     1;    // Switch of Debug mode (0-off;1-on)

Hi Dave,

This is strange because the EA works for many years. Please take a look at the attached screenshots during visual testing.

Hi Dave, I am sorry - may be - you confused between pips and points? because the figures in this EA's input are in pips (4 digit points)

Please try to test with the attached settings(.set file) from 2013.06.01 till now.

done another test with your .set .. no stop loss right?

I know the difference between pips and point.. and i'm using pips (on a 5 digit point... ) 10 pips on 4 digit or 10 pips of 5 digits are the same hopfully...

here the results

Hi Dave,

I did visual backtest and the traders are modified ... you can see here:
