Lots of programs and even other EA's connect to servers for verification or to check for updates but those don't get flagged.I've written Client/server apps in .NET C# and have had no problems so I wonder what is in your code that it is getting flagged?

That's all I used to use was Zone Alarm, but I had several times where internet viruses and adware would disable Zone Alarm and infect my computer. McAffee came free with my new computer and I find that it catches a lot more stuff and has better realtime protection, esp. blocking junk from websites. Also I have a 64 bit OS and at the time Zone Alarm was not 64 bit compatible.

Have you guys noticed that the FGB account has not been updated for more then 36 hours? What's up with this?Also, has anyone gotten any feedback from FGB about the Trojan in the License Manager? Even when I install with McAffee off, the realtime protection always finds it and deletes the file. But even without the License Manager file the EA still works, but I bet if I needed to change my account number then the License Manager would probably not work.

It's because of this terrible ranging market. The faster and more consistant the market moves and the longer the trends the more FGB trades.The thing where FGB keeps some trades open in case of a reversal is a gamble but sometimes it does pay off. They have closed the 3rd trade after 10 hours for a big loss of -54.8 pips. But the last two FGB has kept open and now the price has been going down. Right now it's 1am ET at the two trades are at +39 and +23 and are now growing. Hopefully they will close in profit, but I'm concerned because it is getting to the bottom support level of ye...

Specifically designed to trade only a few per week??? Where did you get that idea? That is absolutely not the case. There is nothing in the design that limits the amount of trades per week. Just do some decent backtesting and you will see that it will trade anywhere from a few times per week, to dozens of times, to even hundreds of times. I tested a 2 ½ week period in May that I posted the results on this forum (on May 20th) that showed it trading over 300 times in one week. Here is one of the results using the basic edition:Profit: 437.61 Trades: 621 Profit Factor: 1.32 FastVolatilit...

Here are some quick optimization examples I did for the month of May to the current date:One surprising observation is that the new Smart Exit setting makes big difference if used in May.Normal settings without Smart Exit:Profit: -0.17 Trades: 21 Profit Factor: 1.00 FastVolatilityBase=5 SlowVolatilityBase=60 VolatilityFactor=2Normal settings with Smart Exit = True:Profit: 44.86 Trades: 21 Profit Factor: 2.05 FastVolatilityBase=5 SlowVolatilityBase=60 VolatilityFactor=2Example optimization without Smart Exit - Highest Profit FactorProfit: 108.08 Trades: 10 Profit Factor: 20....

Sorry if you misunderstood that- there is no set file. What I was saying is that we need the author of FGB to give us .set files that are optimized settings for FGB to work better in these market conditions. I've done some backtesting that shows that different settings in the basic version can make a huge difference in this market. But I'm in no position to choose what the best settings are, because they may be perfect for this month but bad for the next. It's the creator of FGB that I would think would be the best one to tweak the settings and provide us with updated set files fro...

No, it's not the power of hindsight, and it has nothing to do with breaking out of a range. Also turning the bot off is not an easy option. Most of these big market moves are when I'm in bed. I can't babysit the bot all night. And it has nothing to do whether I know the market is trending or not. I want the trends and without the big trends this bot will *NOT* work. When to enter a trend and open a trade is the point. Most of the stuff I was talking about was clearly visible S&R levels on the chart that you can see with any decent S&R indicator, or you can draw the ...

About what stevek11 said about those three trades on the 13th he said where closed before the weekend, since no one has addressed this yet I would like remind everyone that this was not the case with the FGB EA. If the copier closed the trades as he stated then the copier is not truly following the basic FGB EA that is on this ThinkForex account. The terrible thing is, as often is the case when FGB loses big, it's because it doesn't know when to close profitable trades that are near major support/resistance levels and also during ranging market conditions. Even though when looking at t...

uugh... It's really late here. In one of my posts above I said we are in a very long bear market..... um, I meant Bull market.I just look and see that we just broke though resistance to a new daily, weekly and monthy high of 1.4546.9 this is the end of the 12th hour with my broker- the start of 7am et. Now about 20 min after the new high, price is down 27 pips almost down to the resistance level. So it hasn't broken the level by very much yet. It will be interesting to see if it fully breaks though and holds the new highs. This is getting crazy. This is the longest Bull run since the l...

Dear FGB: I forgot one more thing. If you could add one of the many good support and resistance indicators freely available (I love and use the FractalSandR - and filter your trades with it, then you could dramatically reduce your losses. I have spent a lot of time going over the FGB trades and many, many times I've seen it sell and buy right at or before a major support or resistance level, and I mean major levels like on a 4 hour or daily chart. If FGB would not buy or sell until the levels are clearly broken, then you would have much less losses. Many times I have been manually trading ...

I don't want to promote breaking of any rights on how we are allowed to use the indicator as I am not sure as to what those rights are, but If we own the product does that forbid any of us that know MQL to use the FGB indicator in our own ea's?If we bought the product, and we don't share any ea's we make from the indicator- is that ok?Because I have been thinking for a while to do this so I can add my own logic and to put the indicator to better use by putting it on autopilot so I don't have to stare at my computer all day.

Dear FGB: Here are some very simple things you can add to your EA to prevent most of the serious losses we are seeing lately.1. (easy) Don't trade in very obvious ranging markets.2. (easy) Only trade in the direction of the major daily and weekly trends. (I tested this with FGB and the increase in profit was more then tripled...btw we are STILL in a bear EUR/USD market- now going on 87 days! why would your EA ever sell in a market like this when your EA is designed for long trends. By the time FGB sells in a 1 or 2 day retracement- it is always near the end of the retracement and that is w...

Damn. I just wrote a ton about the Compuforex Trail ea, but when I tried to upload my .set file I got an error. I guess you can only attach images. Anyway the bottom line is that it works awesome with the default settings- at least with the version I use 1.1. I get all the profits of FGB with almost none of the losses. Almost every losing day for the past month has been a winner for me. As far as I'm concered, FGB should put this type of advanced percentage-trailing in their EA. There is no reason to have all these losses lately if you have a good trailing stop like what Compuforex has don...

Well LTP just took it's first 330 pip loss this morning on the eurusd, losing $132.28 on their live account. From Jan 1st to Feb 9th they only made $105.25, so with the lot size they have been trading at lately, it could be well over a month before they make this loss up. That is what really sucks about LTP and I think it might be too late to get a refund for me. But luckly for me I did not take that loss because I hedged that losing trade and have been manualy trading the down trend. But I'm sick of manual trading and fixing the mistakes of bad robots. When will we ever have a robot t...

I just sent the above to support. I copied the Expert and Journal text as well and I think I found a bug.I noticed I had LTP to open only EURUSD ie. AllowSymbols="EURUSD"; but is opened a GU anyway. Maybe the bug is it will open non-allowed symbols but will not modify them to set the TP/SL.

Leo Trader Pro in Trading Systems Dec 30, 2010 at 23:06

Ok now another weird thing happened. That last GU that opened on 15:44 at 1.54130 opened on my demo account and my live account BUT it closed on my demo with TP but is still open on my live account. I looked in the experts log and it shows that it did not modify the order with TP/SL so I have a live order with no SL or TP! How crazy dangerous is that!Is this now a rogue trade that LTP does not even know about so I have to manage it?There has got to be some logic in the client EA that knows how to handle things like this that are likely to happen when the whole trade signal does not go right. I...

I'm having the same problem wth trades not opening. Here is the email I sent to support just now:Hello, on your live account #1331 two trades were opened around the 00:00 hour, one EUR/USD sell @1.32197 and one sell @1.45858 GBP/USD. Why did not those trades open on my FXDD account. I have everything set right. I am mql programmer so I know how to do it right. If the signals were too late then why not a message in the log about it? But there is no message and EA is running fine. Please help.

EURUSD	1.13262	GBPUSD	1.3324	AUDUSD	0.64012
USDJPY	142.98	USDCAD	1.37919	USDCHF	0.8262
