Hi Alexander Gettinger and all the other geniuses out there like Apprentice, Sunshine, Nikolay and others. You are doing a good job helping newbies and novice programmers like me to hopefully succeed.
I have had most of my best trades with Fx Sniper’s Ergodic CCI Trigger combined with other indicators. Please to make the FX Sniper strategy work more efficiently, can you add all the other very helpful features like set stop/limit, allowed trading, allowed side etc as contained in the MACROSS_CONF_DIST_STRATEGY.
Please help out, God bless you all.
Thanks.

Thanks Apprentice,
I tried to backtest this strategy and I have some observations; 1. It does not trade all crosses either buy/sell as shown by the signal alert arrows on the chart. 2, It enters a trade order sometimes before the signal alert arrow on the chart and at other times after. 3, In my demo trade, it is yet to take any trade even where there had been different crossing opportunities for the strategy to trade.
Please note both the signal alert on the chart and the strategy settings are the same. please help out, what am I doing wrong? One more thing, does the the strategy remain active on FXCM server when my computer laptop is shot down? I know trailing stop does but is strategy on it?

Unfortunately not . You will need to setup a VPS for this task.

Hi Apprentice,
the indicator is causing an error.
Thanks, JariCarr

Try it now.

Hi Apprentice,
I re-downloaded and re-installed the indicator and strategy luas.
Im still getting an error.
thanks, JariCarr

Hi
Looks like the problem is related to the letter “s” in the indicator name. The backtesting of the strategy needs Sniper and the indicator on the chart needs Snipers
I did a temporary work around to this problem until you update the file. I installed 4 indicators and renamed them as shown on the screenshot.
thanks JariCarr

Deinstall all instances, instal new versions. I have changed the names of all the indicator.

The indicator was revised and updated.
