Hello fxDreema.

Today when I was riding again my and by Desktop, the following problem that happened to me this in the image below.


I have a few more questions:
When we have an update for the Desktop version?
When can we copy the blocks from one project and paste into another? Wouldn't it be a good idea? Could also paste to the Desktop.
When we can show the projects created on the internet on the Desktop?

I know that is not easy, but I am awaiting this functionality that will help us a lot!

Since already thank you!

If that's what I'm thinking, is the hedge that I spoke the way I had told you?
If it is, I thank you very much!

Hello. This me showing up different options in the Fixed Ratio of Ryan Jones. See on the image. This correct where I selected?

TeamViewer?[/quote:2zauc2qv]
Yes, I have TeamViewer. Including I'm online right now for him. I will send you my ID by private message.

__I think I don't understand you :)[/quote:psogoyhv]
First I apologize for poor English because I communicate via translator.

__1. What is the minimum SL size in pips that you can put to a trade? The real one, not what the broker says.[/quote:psogoyhv]
In fact I would need 2.5 SL, but as the Broker allows only the minimum 5 pips, then I leave with 5 pips SL.

__2. If you say that you are using 5 pips, but sometimes you get 50 pips, is the similar thing happens when you are using 6 pips -> 60 pips over there?[/quote:psogoyhv]
Tried with 6 pips SL, and haven't seen change SL to 60 pips. In fact, what happened is not triggering the SL of 6 pips.
In the case of 5 pips SL, happened without my permission to add a 50 pips SL, not to mention that I had a few orders that also did not work the SL of 5 pips. For me this a mystery that still do not know why this happened.

__3. What do you mean by "emergency SL"? In fxDreema this term is used only when Virtual stops are used. Do you work with Virtual stops?[/quote:psogoyhv]
I'm still not working with virtual stops, but if I feel a need, I can think of to change. But at first I find it more practical to let the normal SL than the virtual, because it can not happen to close the order, I believe, due to the size of SL that I will choose. I say an emergency case these SL SL that use not be fired.

__4. Backtest or demo?[/quote:psogoyhv]
Backtest that happened this problem. Already in the demo I have not had this problem.

__for slippage troubles I think I can't help much, because I am not an active trader, not a scalper, I never cared about this parameter, and I can admit that I don't get how slippage affects trading :)[/quote:psogoyhv]
The slippage can sometimes happen not to leave open an order due to rapid price change, making it difficult for the order to be thrown at the exact price. She may not be thrown if you pass the value supported for slippage.

Good ... and this! I see that already is getting tiresome this post. In short I need that never fail the SL, and if the case fails, should have another way to close the order for the sake of security.

Thanks again FxDreema.

First I want to tell you that I am very glad you added this feature to one of the best market risk management. I confess that in the other program that used, unfortunately already has a nearly 3 months who was hoping to add this functionality, but you added in less than 1 week. For me this is a great news!!!
With the other program, that had many bugs to be fixed, would not have been able to make the EAs I made here, and with few steps. The essential learned fast watching the examples.

Now just need to test, but I believe that is already running. Well, I am a layman in programming, but from what I've seen the documentation was great!

This is it! Go to the tests!

__Aah,.. well, in case of projects with use of optimization parameters, I can't help much. I see 100 pips, you tell that you use 5 pips, but who knows what MT4 uses, because MT4 writes temporary .ini file to save the last version of input parameters.

5 pips -> 50 pips can be caused because of incorrect calculations inside the EA. Using point format 0.001 instead of 0.0001. In this case, if you setup the EA for 6 pips, it should place 60 pips sometimes (10 times larger). Is that happen? Because if not, then the problem comes from the "TCF CBBP EA Tony 1.2.ini" file.[/quote:2irrmyg5]

I modified to 6 pips SL, and in the order "# 224 sell" did not work the SL.
Is it the slippage?
Good ... in this case I believe that I must put something SL emergency.

__No, no... I mean... you start the EA, it trades and everything is ok, when suddenly the PC crashes or something like that. When you start the EA again, initial balance is different, delta calculations are lost, and you have to start clear. Is that ok?

Yes, this is valid for other MMs as well, but they are somehow easily restartable. Martingale for example, it doubles the lot of the last bad trade, and whenever you start the EA, you know everything for the last trade. This one (Ryan James method) looks to me that when started, there is no way back. But the easiest thing for me is to make it in a way that after MT4 restart, everything starts again :)[/quote:3j9xx4su]

Well FxDreema, make the way they see fit at the time. Anyway, being working ok, and climbing lots by Delta, this all ok. If possible place the 2 ways to each choose what you see fit, if I'm understanding what you mean.

I also want to maintain the operation of Fixed Ratio. Here we go:

For example:

Delta 200 usd.

in an account of 1000 USD we started with 1 batch operations.
Trade 1-we obtained a profit of 200 usd, with 1200 usd balance.

Trade 2-Operate with 2 lots and we will have to make 400 usd to batch up, because 2 x 200 = 400. We were able to make 400 usd, getting 1600 usd balance.

Trade 3-Operand with 3 lots and we will have to make 600 usd of profit now. But in this case we lost 300 usd, with 1300 usd balance. This time we will remain with 3 lots.

Trade 4-this time we lost over 300 usd, getting with balance of 1000 usd. In this case I think you should go back to 1 lot for operations again.

That's how I understand it. You can do this way or the way you see fit. I will be studying this week Ryan Jones's book about this.
The interesting thing also is that it teaches you how to manage a whole portfolio, rather than just an asset or a currency pair.
Here is a comparative link MMs: http://www.fxstreet.com/education/learn ... nt-models/

__Just try what is the real minimum value at which you can put SL/TP, it's easy. It might be 10 pips, 6 pips, who knows... Don't rely on what the broker says, let's work with facts.[/quote:3owib5n7]

Yes ... I am using the minimum allowed of SL, which is 5 pips. Yet the times and can't add this SL 5 pips, sometimes changing to 50 pips SL without my permission. This is the problem I'm having, and nothing more. Must always have 5 pips SL, and it works always.

__In blocks 5 and 6, 100pips are used for SL and TP. I don't know how many pips you are using via Inputs of the EA, maybe 50, maybe something else, but I can see only values in the project you show.[/quote:zpu4r8o1]

Yes. I modified it within the platform for 5 pips SL, but sometimes has not worked unfortunately. But there were a few times.

__Error 130 comes when you the EA tries to place SL < 5 pips, which happens from "Break Even" block. "Break even price offset" is where to put SL in relation to OpenPrice. By default it puts it on the OpenPrice (offset is 0). If offset is 2 pips, SL will be placed at OpenPrice+2pips. But you try to do that when the price is only 3 pips above OpenPrice.[/quote:zpu4r8o1]

I have done it this way and it has worked, even with the error messages. While at BreakEven, this all ok.

__Emergency stops are real SL and TP that can be placed when Virtual Stops are used, but in this project you are using normal hard stops, so there are no emergency stops. Virtual stops are horizontal lines only and the EA detects when to close the trade, but in case of internet or PC problems, emergency stops can be placed at some distance from virtual ones.[/quote:zpu4r8o1]

Ok ... So what is the solution of this problem? Please could you do a backtest or test and check for yourself what can be the problem?

In block 5 and 6 will have 5 pips SL and TP of 1000
At BreakEven, in Pips on profit, and 3 Pips on profit offset 2.

I believe that in this way you can see with my eyes as I see.

Once again, thank you!

Do Not. Never heard of problems with shutdown and should be equal to other forms of management, I believe that work correctly, unless problem due to programming. But I believe that the problem is not.

My strategy to use the BreakEven relies on it, reduce the risk as much as possible. But this has worked properly for me in this way. I have had no problems with that. But I'm having trouble with the SL, which the times has not worked. Not even the emergency 10 pips SL. Sometimes he puts 50 pips SL without I have authorized. What should I do to solve this problem?

What is OffSet?

The minimum allowable SL is 5 pips. And this also happening to trigger the SL 50 pips do not know how, they do not set up to do this. I also set up the SL drive emergency with 10 pips SL, and still did not work the SL emergency.

My point format is 0.0001, and am on a 5 digit broker, which is 0.00001
I tried also to use emergency stops with 10 pips fixed the most, but even so is an order without SL.

Yes, I get these error messages:

Well, I'll send mine EA so that you can analyze.

I'm hanging on!

Even more!

SL is not triggered. Happened to trigger 50 pips SL, and not 5 pips as I have created the EA. When he does not trigger 5 pips SL, automatically triggers 50 pips SL but not configured to do this.

__I might be wrong, but... is it something like this:

initial capital = $10.000
delta = $500

$10.000 -> 0.1 lot
$10.500 -> 0.2 lot
$11.000 -> 0.3 lot
$11.500 -> 0.4 lot
$12.000 -> 0.5 lot
...
...
$20.000 -> 40 lots???[/quote:2e53of45]

Almost there! Almost it! We are coming to an understanding. I will be sending to you by private message ok table and some more information. Not only do I myself in excel because I'm also not an expert in excel.

I have the comparison table in the book with the two forms of risk management that are fixed and the Fixed Ratio, that is of Ryan Jones, and the advantage is great for Fixed Ratio. But by copyright I can't share here, I think. It is not only different, but have a conservative Heritage Management to keep you in the long run.

But I need to work this formula of risk management. If you do not bother to add this functionality in the block to Buy Now or Sell Now, or another way that you see fit, because it will be of great service, both for us and for everyone who knows this great way of MM.

Believe me, because it is an excellent MM.

Hello FxDreema! Today I was doing a test with my EA and saw that the times he does not trigger the SL of the orders. I'm using SL for 5 pips, because it is the least that the Broker allows. I tried to also increase the Slippage, but with the same problem. What should be happening?

Yes you can do in MT4 and MT5. The formula is: N = 0.5 * [(1 + 8 * P/delta) ^ 0.5 + 1]

where N is the number of lots, P is the total closed trade profit, and delta is the parameter discussed above. The carat symbol (^) represents exponentiation; that is, the quantity in parentheses is raised to the power of 0.5 (square root).

A few points are worth noting. The profit, P, is the accumulated profit over all trades leading up to the one for which you want to calculate the number of lots. Consequently, the number of lots for the first trade is always one because you always start with zero profits (P = 0). Also, as you accrue more profits, the number of lots increases more slowly. The $ 10,000 profit made early in the sequence of trades will increase the number of lotts more than a $ 10,000 profit made after many other profitable trades.

Ryan Jones, who is the creator of Fixed Ratio system, says that the difference is in the general problem with the fixed fractional method is that the risk premium associated with the batch size is very low when the Bill is small and very loud when the account is great. Already the Fixed Ratio method allows the account to grow aggressively in the beginning, assuming more risk, and gradually reduces the risk that the account size grows. The main principle behind fixed aspect ratio is the ratio between the number of lots sold and the amount of earnings required to increase the number of lots traded remains fixed.

According to the Fixed Ratio money management method proposed by Ryan Jones, before you can add a lot to an existing number of lots, each of the existing lots shall "win" a certain number of points (which Jones called the "delta"). For example, we have a deposit of 300 dollars and trade with 1 mini lot; the delta of, say, the same 300 dollars would mean that we will increase to 2 mini lots only when we gain (with the 1 mini lot we have) 300 dollars.

Similarly, the lots will be increased to 3 only after 2 mini lots will gain the delta of 300 dollars (each). That is, the increase from 2 to 3 mini lots will be possible when we add to the existing 600 dollars another 2 С ... $ 300 = $ 600, i.e. when having $ 1200; from 3 to 4 mini lots with the deposit of $ 1200 + ($ 300 С ... 3) = $ 1200 + $ 900 = $ 2100, etc. Thus, "the number of contracts is proportional to the amount required to buy new number of contracts", from where the method derives its name. The decrease in the number of lots follows the same scheme in reverse.

In short: This Fixed Ratio relationship can be expressed as: The New Account Level to Increase Trade by One Lot Size = Starting Account Value + (Delta x Number of Current Lots)

More information and comparative tables you can also be found in the book also Automatic Alpha, David J. Lyder.

Hello!

As I am very happy with the program FxDreema for construction of EAs, as all EAs that tried to create, I managed to contrui them. And would like to share the best way to capital risk management in my opinion, that is the Fixed Ratio, created by Ryan Jones.
With this it is possible to decrease the risk management as the patrimony of our capital, rather than increasing as is in the case of common risk management.

For more information regarding this risk management can refer to this link: http://www.adaptrade.com/Articles/article-frps.htm

If you've heard about this way of capital management, please could you tell me how I do in the FxDreema?

Since already thank you!
