Failed Trade — I was hoping somebody could weigh in. I took the buy on the green arrow, EUR/USD trending up on higher time frames. Time was around 9:30 PST (GMT -8). Was this a good entry or a bad entry? Thanks for the feedback.

failed trade response — Hi Nick, Thank you for your response. As I mentioned in the post, I couldn't have entered right away because the PA was in a tight 20-30 pip rage, and post #1 says no entry. For the London tip, I understand. Lou, can ...

I tried the news function that you provided, and I didn't get any trades yesterday on my modified ECN version of THG 1.6. I went back to Scooby's function and just got a trade again. It might be working for others, but I just wanted to let you know ...

@getdown71 and other ECN users — First, Steve thanks for the vouch. I have learned so much from this thread and hope to give back as much as I can. I know there has been a lot of debate about ECN brokers, but so far I have been very satisifed ...

Thanks for the advice Scooby. So far no trades with your EA today, so the news filter seems to be working.

This is what I was trying to get across. It seems that the stoploss is too high. Like right now, I would need 15 winners to make up for one loser. Also, what happens if a basket is open for a while. Say a sell basket is opened at 22 GMT, but around ...

Orginal Robot Stop Loss Question — I had a question regarding the BasketStopLossPercentage. I searched the thread for this parameter, but didnt find anything and I hope this wasn't discussed before. Say that I am testing this on a live mini ...

Scooby, thanks for the reply. I didn't know the Strategy Tester was that inaccurate. I will continue forward testing the AI robot. Right now I have it on the USD/CHF daily chart.

AI robot backtest — Scooby, thanks for your contribution of this robot. I backtested the EA, and it agreed with your 2009 results, the account nearly doubled. When I backtest the EA from 2005 on the daily EUR/USD, however, the robot loses 90% ...
