I am back in the bot workshop. I have finally sorted out the sending of trades thingy.
Apologies to those who have sent me PM's. I will answer as soon as possible.

What I have learnt from this? No matter how good a strategy you may code it will always go belly up.
Its important to ensure that you have good code before starting on the strategy. I put the horse in front of the cart.
I have been working on bot development for more than two years. It would seem time wasted but for this.

I only learnt to read code around two years ago. My coding skills were sharpened by me having hitting road blocks in
trying to get a successful bot. Also the road block would make question the strategies I would come up with.
This would make me research a lot for strategies and I would land up looking at charts looking at setups.
This would then get engrained me as I would have to figure out how to code the setup.

Conclusion even with such a fault, swing trading came out tops and would last for more than three months before blowing the account.
To those who have stuck it out with me, you wont regret. I will load bot soon than you think.

Merlin , majami you are die hards.

Check the video in this link. https://trading.bkforex.com/turntrader/
There is a powerful turn strategy mentioned in the video. Sadly the secret to calculate it is not given.
you have to give those guys 160 usd to get a bot. I aint ready to do that. but I will try to figure it out they posted a chart

buddy, your swing bot is good, i just thought , so many strategy they are good also, but we should think risk reward ratio about these strategy. if we want a bot continue running without fail, then small loss and big profit formular should be careful to digest. if these problem can not cope with, no matter the strategy how good is, it can not long term use. i see swing trading for all pair not work, cause the floating risk reward will make big drawdom, and scalper type ea too fast close orders and also very semsitive spread, it always can not last long in real trading. maybe we need to balance between these situation.

no worry, buddy, the hope still become in near future. just need patient to wait that day to come.

You are spot on with how market behaves. It might be better to concentrate on fewer pairs and give up basket trading

Hey buddy hope you well.
I am just sharpening my tools. I am doing this by coding the bot to monitor each trade in more detail than before.
Each trade is given a name. At the moment bot will do max five trades of buys five of sells.
First trade called FirstBuyTrade Second Trade called SecondBuyTrade and so on up to the fifth.
Each trade is given its own target. Rather than previously setting a general take profit.
Also previously trades were being added haphazardly with out due consideration of previous trade. No more.
All technical have to be looked at equity profit or draw down will be put in the mix.

Trail profit I have left to be as general for each trade though I wonder if that should also be specific for a trade.
Pending orders will have not all have the same expiry. It will be dependent on the setup. If price in a setup was expected to move in an hour.
The pending should delete in an hour if price did not move. Previously pending were lingering a long time. Sometimes a setup is for a day so pending will
wait a day to delete. This is the type of sharpening I am talking of.

For those of you who don't mind getting a bot that's a work in progress . Here is one

It does not have many trades because it only has one or two setups. I will get to coding setups once I am happy with the monitoring of trades.
It is the one in the trade explorer

Here is journal entry for those who will ever endeavour to code their own bots.
I have hit a road block. Let me explain First we have a buy setup to code.
That buy setup then has a buy entry price which it sends to market.
If you only have one setup there is no problem but if you have more than one then there is some thing else to consider.
if two buy setup conditions trigger with two different prices you now have a problem.
The problem comes when placing a target (take profit) and stop loss.
There will be two targets and two stop losses that need to be inserted.
They need to be differentiated. I am brain storming.

Here is another journaling note from my coding experience. I have been back testing and the bot is giving me duplicate orders when it is only suppose to send one order. I have done all sorts of brain storming trouble shooting eventually got to SendOrder, as being the culprit. Geeish a whole two days trying mess about and nail it.

Good for you , I have. The order send function starts with bool. This is how everyone codes it. I found one guy (on FF) using int. Also another on mql5.com.
But still it would not go away. Then I tried void and unbelievable it worked.

Some serious mid night oil going in to this stuff

Now matter how good a strategy this bug was a bummer. Who ever would have thought OrderSend is where it was.
What was happening was when a buy price would trigger OrderSend would trigger without due consideration for other conditions placed on it.

Unbelievable, you would have to see it to believe it.
I have few more knots to tie with regards to monitoring trades before I even start coding setups or strategies.

I hope other coders will benefit from my journal entries. Meanwhile you guys await the banker beware monster
