Brijon Concept of Threes auto trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Quoting Viv108
if anyone has MT5, they can test your theory in the strategy tester...

The Mt5 platform allows basket traders to show how their EAs work.
As I understand it, mql4 code will require considerable updating to work on mt5.

Well, there is a surprise.

A fiver says that mt5 is even more crap and biassed in favour of the criminals and even better designed to defeat the intentions of the trader than is mt4.

And a tenner says it will be released with more bugs than a rotting corpse.

A tenner plus a fiver says it will make us look upon Microsoft fondly.

There are beta copies around. However, we are lucky since it is at least 3 to 5 years away from being widley used by the criminals. from what I read in the forums the much loved NFA rules such as FIFO and no Hedging is built in as standard. If that day comes I am switching over to NINJATRADER. I am already using it for a bit of futures trading and it is much faster, user friendly, stable and uses less CPU resources. The only problem is that there are no EAs readily available for Ninjatrader (which calls them strategies).
Kind regards

By then, we will have learned to port stuff over to other platforms.

Ok, so right now I have no idea how, but 3 years ago I had no idea how to code an ea. Point made?

The crims can move quickly, but we have all the brains working here at FF. We can move faster. When it comes to hey-lads-ho, the crims have to be able to offer traders stuff they can use, or traders will not continue to trade through the crims.

Given how young the industry is, who knows what facilities might be open to traders in 3 years time? Competition is a wondrous thingy.

hopefully, we'll all be in Barbados by then...

only had 1 basket on the 6 pair pop last night none on the 14 pair
The markets are goofy right now All demo closed out all live trading

jUST HAD ANOTHER BASKET POP SICNE i WROTE THIS 1/2 HR ago
that's better
I was on the phone for about 10 minutes and watched two 6-trade baskets pop.

The attached is not much use to US traders. I have added hedging for losing trades at the same distance as the second trade for the winners.

Over the weekend, I shall edit post 1 and add this ea. It started as a bit of fun but is beginning to look promising.

Hello everybody,
Hiredwhip's statement looks great at first glance.
Question: What do you intend to do with the floaters?
I asume that by now the negative floaters are larger than the banked profits?
I tried something similar last week and ended up with huge and rising negative leftovers that forced me to start a new DemoAcct.
For me it is better not to use the individual TP, only basket TP.
Good Luck
try to get ride of it.....and start fresh!

I had two pops last night... and one pop the other night without the second trades being sent... I think without the second trade x pips into it its alot safer because it seems like on 0.1 lots the P/L max's out at $-60 and then during volality goes up and down. With extra trades if there are swings you will have higher risk.

I like the fact that Steve made it max 2 trades since if we are at a full hedge with all trades 2 levels deep you can manually adjust your positions or trail each position individually to get out of your DD.

I'll probably create a JForex strategy to test this out the ea is super simple.

Hi,
I have just shut off the bot from my pickup since I'm inside the range of my network..The Margin Percent hit 500%
Mptm is controlling the Pair TP.....So I am letting the pairs work and hedging as needed....
I'm really interested in how this comes out.....Should be fun...
If the bot doesn't go up in smoke I will restart it at 750% Margin...If it does..... back to the drawing board

...........simply delete any you do not want to trade. Make sure you do not accidentally leave a space instead of a complete blank; there is no idiot-checking.........
I get the following error nonstop.

Inserted Code
AUDUSDFXF OP_SELL order send failed with error(4062): string parameter expected
I have the EA attached to an AUDUSD chart. If I change the chart the EA is attached to simply the error starts with symbolFXF......

It all works well when all pairs are traded. My broker uses the FXF extension for symbols, maybe the problem is something related to that?
I couldn't find a fix since I am not yet good with code.

Thanks

This is a copy/paste mistake error in the error reporting code, that returns the chart symbol rather than the pair the ea is trying to code. I will fix this.

Attached is a version that: fixes the error reporting bug; does an idiot check on the pairs input list.

If you do not care about the reporting bug and are capable of making alterations to the inputs, then you do not need the fix.

really glad I closed all my live trades but the market seems messy
I have 5-6 bots going with the dc or brian version. The only one not totally in trouble is the latest hedge DC. Although I started it last.
DD in the others has gone up 3-4 times over night Yikes!. This dc hedge bot is about the same 2 -3 % but no baskets popped either

this is a good test
There is another promising manual system on thread by CGREY - GPBUSD / One trade a day. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=275947 . Demo as well as live result showed a monthly 10% is achievable. Basically it compares the 00:00 hourly bar with the 08:00 hourly bar. If the difference is > 9 pips (or < ) in either direction, send your trade. Trading will only last until 09:00. Close your trade after an hour of trading whatever your position is. SL: 20 Pips. You maay visit the thread for further details. I just thought Steve maybe interested in developing an EA for this great sytem.
