Geko, thanks for this fantastic tool!

now i'm testing trailing stops via fractal boxes and have a question - after each trade close by SL on fractal box, the switch become inactive and must switch on manually

is there any possibility that he was always on ?

(besides, it would be wonderful to add SL management through fractal boxes in CSS dirty DB EA )

Hi quadrifoglio,

Sorry for the late reply.

This is done on purpose. When you have a trade open, you can activate one or multiple trailing functions. Once the trade (s) is closed the trailing mode are automatically switched on false. This is a security measure, as with your next trade you might/probably want different trailing settings. The idea is also to reset the trailing mode for the next trade.

Cheers,
G

Post 1 updated with Blast latest version.

Nothing major updated, just some wording here and there.

Have fun.

Hi Geko,
Thanks for all this,
I am trying to load Blast to a chart but cannot, I have checked all the folders, installation and downloaded again etc and tried three diff brokers. Is my MT4 current update perhaps stopping it running?

[Geko]

Hi Woodlands,

Did you manage to get it working ?

[Geko]

Here is a quick bump on Blast for one of our members who is looking for some of the functionalities which are available in Blast

At this Link there is an explanation about the 4 money management scenarios available in Blast and also an explanation about how to use some lines to calculate yur money management.

Hope it helps

Yes, that is me, and while the BLAST is an extraordinary piece of coding, I am after something basic in it's use, although within the coding it is way too complex for me.

I need an EA that can be used on any chart; I use several types of analysis, I have several Metatraders running, multiple charts, all with different horizontal lines, different text notes for each, so to apply BLAST on those just when I want to trade, won't work.

So, what I have been using, is the EA pictured, just drag in on the chart, load a preset with appropriate Risk to Reward parameters, or it's easy just to enter whatever you need in the moment.

To set a trade, drag the lines to position for the required type of trade, sell stop, sell limit, market, etc.

Lines can be right clicked for inputting exact level if required same as any horizontal line.

Then just click Sell Stop as in the example chart show. The trade shows in the MT Terminal , Lot Size has been calculated from the Presets, the stop loss & take profit lines appear.

That's it, if you want to adjust the lines for a pending order, easy to do, just drag them.

Also, you can use it to place pending orders just to see what the lot size will be for different scenarios without entering a trade, then click

I have found this to be so useful over the years and to explain why it's no longer viable is a long story; basically, it needs an update, changed account, hard to communicate with coder / seller, etc.

So as I have said, it seems so simple and yet, fulfills the need of every trader from novice beginner to veteran trader - use Risk to Reward, use stop loss, use take profit, calculate position size, it does it all

Please have a look at it and consider my request, thanks, John

Geko - each time when I watching charts with BLAST I'm truly amazed how accuracy can be trailing position via fractal boxes

fractal boxes are ideally for swings when their outer edges gives enough space for price to keep existing trade from closing too fast

they can handle too in ranging areas forming a kind of channel where stops will not be hit too often

In my opinion this tool could be a fantastic position manager working as an independent EA for all existing trades on all pairs opened by other EA's or manually (without necessity putting them on all charts)

I do not know how to ask you ... is there a shadow of a chance for you to agree to create such a kind of EA (only for managing stops independently from open charts) ?

Regards
