DislikedAs I just said! Two days of forward testing doesn't mean nothing!
On the other hand, Martingale can make the difference, if you select max lots 0.64, you can lose only if you have 7 losses in a row! But, again, just TEST it!Ignored

DislikedI've said it here before, M scares the cr@p out of me and I would never consider a method that relies on escalation to get you out of trouble. It's one thing in testing but when real money's involved ... well it's your cojones on the line! In my experience those 7 in a row always turn out to be a little less rare than you expect!Ignored
DislikedGiven the high win/loss rate of the bot, I've have took the liberty to add to it a Martingale sequence, from Steve's Spider. Hope you don't mind, Steve!Ignored
DislikedIt's great everyone is tinkering around with the EA. Do the lookback candles parameter only look back to the close 3 bars ago or does it also take into account all 3 previous closes?Ignored

DislikedDear Trumpcard,
Yes, it takes into account all 3 previous closes. But, please note, that there is still an issue with the inside bar check in the source code:
It should be:Inserted Code//No cancellation if the previous bar was an IB if (High[1] <= High[2] && Low[1] <= Low[2] ) return;
Inserted Code//No cancellation if the previous bar was an IB if (High[1] <= High[2] && Low[1] >= Low[2] ) return;Ignored

2 EJ50
2 EU50
9 EJ10

DislikedI am now trying to avoid trading from 10am to 1pm, as the win/loss ratio during that period was unacceptable....Ignored
DislikedThere is still a very small chance that the first tick coming in at 10am could trigger a pending trade since that code is before the time check, but if the planets are that aligned perhaps you should take the trade. I'll leave it to Steve to reorganize the code if he thinks it's worthwhile.

DislikedHehe. I neither remember nor care what this robot does, but better correct than incorrect code whatever the circumstances. Update in post 1.
George, this is yet another brilliant piece of bloop-spotting. You have been an FF member since 2006, yet this is only your 7th post. Where have you been? What have you been doing? In my experience of your posts, you are brilliant.
Guys, it might seem premature that I have vouched for George, given his posting record. He may be a rubbish trader for all I know.
I can say this: reading another programmer's...Ignored
DislikedSteve,
With that kind of encouragement you probably won't be able to get me to shut up now.Ignored
