Hi, start a new thread somewhere and if it's simple then I'll give it a go. I have the core routines that can open/close trades, I'd just need to add your 'simple' method

Thanks

Yes, set the stop manually as there is no initial SL set. It dynamically determines if the trade should be closed based either upon the current MACD settings, or the trailing stop.

I don't know why it doesn't just set the SL initially? Code is here - I wish people would write structured code, yet another example of poor coding practice

The EA finally made some trades today.

4 successful scalpes for a total of 65 pips! So far so good, I'll keep you posted.

This EA doesn't use a stop loss, wow that's scary. It trades a very large lot size considering. For example my demo account has a balance of $3000 and on the default settings with money managment it was trading 0.13 Lots (100,000 lot size) which is ok for a regular scalping program that has a stop loss but way too high for a grid type program that keeps trades open indefinitely.

For example on the same account the Robominer is only using .01 lots per trade.

Oh well wait and see what happens I guess.

yes,I agree,but still...no loosing trades so far.we'll see.
but I noticed that it has some kind of trailing stop though.not a replacement for a good old stop loss but...

While the intentions are good, members have mis-represented the site, promised things I cannot deliver, and otherwise caused confusion and problems for me.

Sorry, but every little detailed site rule for most of us is nearly impossible, given the daily living stress and work we try to do on EAs ourselves, so members can't be blamed every time one little thing said like "anyone can write them like pipcop or someone?", a wholey minor thing, really annoying.
So here's what you can do as a suggestion pipcop to handle things instead of darting it back at us: Simply make a form with drop-down menu, e.g. like this EA submission/suggestion area, questions like, "is this purely a suggestion or had you written them?" If responses certain way then you have a rejection note come-up in a floating window saying why. Other question example "are you subnmitting an EA for us to demo free?" Sub-categories like "are you the author?" This "is morally or legally ok to pass this EA if you bought it?"
I think this means/route will solve many of your good intentions members from accidentally ruffling your feathers no insult meant, but "things happen in life" and no member I feel, no matter how good he is, is going to be perfect so this will help filter out things that cause rocks in the road of your progress. In fact to grow the populace here I don't think you can do w/o such efficiencies, no?
Just meant as suggestion-box item to possibly help.

Jerry, all one needs to do is read the first post of the robot submission thread to which you replied:

http://www.pipcop.com/forums/showthread.php?p=122

It's clear, it's easy to read, it makes sense, and is simple to understand. We're all busy, but that is not an excuse for doing things half-assed. Either do it right or don't do it at all.

I've also directly discussed this with you previously, so you should know better than to recommended soliciting companies on my behalf.

I have looked into a the form-based submission, but that does not easily "plug in" to the forum software, and would require many hours of planning, development, and testing, plus the costs associated with it, to achieve, but thank you for the suggestion.
