{quote} It seems you predict trend quite well
Hi, well mainly shorting cable down from 1.40 has been a nobrainer ^^ brexit and war drives money out of GBP and into our all beloved one and only currency USD. And if you know two weights of a pair ... go for it

{quote} HI xxl205, good to here from you, CHF almost wiped me out (50% SL). Still dont know how to handle this in future.
Hey Toaster ... wtf ... well can't say anything about CHF besides it has been VERY b*tchy to me some years ago and I usually won't trade it.
Very sorry to hear this, man ...

I have diverted off the path of pairs in the last weeks, doing only GBP shorts if available. Due to a lot of long weekends and family holidays there was not so much time to monitor the market as I like it to do.

I've added an additional screenshot of my Top10 pairs I traded this year. Half a year gone, little more than 50% profit, goals are safe at the moment

Cheers George

"We are all just prisoners ... of our own device ..." (Hotel California)
I quickly wanted to describe my GBPUSD insights a little bit, it might be useful for somebody because you'll get the connection why I use Icarus for it.
All statements are just my personal opinion and there is never any warranty whatsoever. Market is unpredictable, at times.

GBPUSD has levels. I call them my "quarters". For example (1.22 can be replaced with ANY leading number)

1.22 00 with mostly 10p overshoot e.g. 1.2190 / 1.2210
1.21 75 with a lingering range of 1.2170 / 1.2180 (so this is +- 5p as an in between level)
1.21 50 half a 100p run level - 1.2140 / 1.2160 (10p again here)
1.21 25 in between quarter - levels around 1.2120 / 1.2130
1.21 00 "big zero" number - rinse and repeat like 1.2200 here +-10p

These are my personal observations. So, IF it decides to move, it is very rarely that it moves LESS than a quarter.
So, grab a demo, look at it, go for it.

I use Icarus for adding trades at those levels if needed. Yes I use martingale style - hey this is the Icarus thread ^^ I use a 100p SL each level of a trade.

It would be utterly GREAT if we'd have a SL for each level in Icarus ...

Happy trading to all of you. I hope this might help somebody in the way one can see the market.
Gonna be on a motorbike tour next week and will be back 11th July+.

CU around ! George

{quote} Agreed you, no doubt this thread EA ideas is great, and a lot contribution too! Well, some they optimise this EA and only self use or selling it. Person like me new to forex and aren't coder, feel help less sometimes.
The goal is to be able to optimize the open source bot to your personal liking. You can ask questions about settings and all, most people here try to answer the best that they can.

I am also not a coder, so I rely on the contributors who code, and use what is available here to be able to create a useable bot for my own trading.

Good evening guys. i am using EA Robin 2.7 on a demo account to try to understand the logic of how the trading works. i have a question that i hope some of you can answer. i would like to to set after how many pips the hedging function will open the position, this parameter can be set somewhere in the following screen. i noticed that on some pairs it will open a hedge too early, while if other pairs too late. thanks for the help

Universal managers will add SL to every order. Also according to the size of the ATR.
Please excuse the bad English via Google Translate.
Can someone please explain Grid Size vs Grid Step Mode and how the ATR fits in with Martingale or Fib??

Best that can answer this is TeChaoLiang, he is the creator of Robin. i have tried to understand it, but i shelfed that project at the moment to concentrate on Icarus and other ideas. But i like his idea. It just needs more polishing. If I am done with Icarus, i may be back for Robin.

I read your posts carefully and some things are unclear to me:
1. Where can I find the version of Icarus that you changed the CCI settings for?
2. What account size is required for your trading? INCLUDING LEVERAGE!
3. How many pairs do you trade with this account at the same time?

Hello Dokopy, sorry for not answering due to holidays.

1. Nowhere at the moment, I am evaluating the behavior.
2. Accountsize : well well well ... my account size is in the 6-figures, with a 1:200 leverage. Broker is GlobalPrime.
I would never recommend trading martingale under 10k per pair, starting with 0.01 lots.
3. see answer 2, but these are estimated figures. A big move comes and BOOM ;-(

As stated before, I mostly do manual trading and use Icarus to finish it. And I monitor closely and add trades to my liking when market tells me so.

I've burnt a LOT of money learning to not trust automatic trading completly, sorry to say.

Currently I am testing another combination of EAs which give better positioned additional trades ... if there are any results worth posting, I will.

Just a teaser : a 50k demo has made 3.5k on full auto while I was on holiday last week. Starting with 0.01 lots, trading GU only.

Cheers, George

ps. I know that universal trade managers do this. But I don't want to fire up 2 charts. But I have not tried the ATR thingy there, thanks for the hint.

{quote} Il migliore che può rispondere a questa domanda è TeChaoLiang, è il creatore di Robin. ho cercato di capirlo, ma al momento ho archiviato quel progetto per concentrarmi su Icarus e altre idee. Ma mi piace la sua idea. Ha solo bisogno di più lucidatura. Se avrò finito con Icarus, potrei tornare per Robin.
i think he is very busy and will not have much time to respond. i will wait with asia for his response or anyone who can help me. thank you very much

0.01 lot/10k 1:200 one pair. You have 0.1 lot in the template. So 0.1 lot/100k 1:200 one pair. With a weekly selection of 5 pairs, it is 500k.
At a European leverage of 1:40, that's a €2.5 million bill.

Mostly correct but I don't trade 5 pairs. Atm it is GU shorts mostly cause thats easy and quite obvious.

I should have set the lots in the template to 0.01, yes. But it also depends on which ATR setting you finally use what can make it dangerous.

Trading is never to be seen abstract, with fixed things as is ... and so on. One always has to improvise with settings and market conditions.

What remains a fixum is weekly level 3 for the main trend, nothing below.
Yes, this week GU isn't in it. I trade it anyways ^^ and with the EU trading close to parity, I will leave hands off. Don't like to trade the Euro anyways.

Cheers George

I continue with a small demo account. I have added one chart with universal manager to add SL 0.3 ATR to all positions. So far so good.

Someone definitely needs to put all the versions together. This is getting confusing! : )

I see thang has a 4.79 but it doesnt have the custom martingale multiplier that 4.73 has nor does it have the cci. And Im sure there are other differences. Ive been using the 4.73 July 22 version but I like the idea of the trend filter.

Any idea what the current profitable version is, if there is one?

Thang didn't publish any mq4 code, so unable to do any reference to this version for the time being.

My suggestion would be to have a single master git repo - I made all my changes from the ksen 4.73 version, using git it is possible to follow all forks etc.

1. source code #047: panel combined with buy/sell status, on the right hand side. Request = 1.1 can split (similar to version 4.72) buy/sell to left side on the chart? 1.2 I prefer colFontWhite for the buy/sell context. easier to read in white color. 2. Elaborate of EA inputs (With sample / dummy proof remarks). Note: Maybe someone, can help outline / summarize the EA's user manual (sort of) extern double grid_size = 20; // Grid_Size (orders' distance) extern int gs_progression = 3; // Grid_Step Mode (0=fixed. 1=sum. 2=martingale. 3=fibonacci)...
My wish list continues.....

 

  1. allowed free text input for = EA comment (each orders entry). user can modify EA order comment. EG. [ icarus %magic% ]
  2. optional enabling profit trailing stop.
  3. all-in-chart EA. (multiple symbol handled by 1 chart) Yes, will be obligated to the same settings.

_______________________________________

Sample ( EA mql file = Generic atlp ). Note / Disclaimer = this EA not profitable to me. in my opinion.
Reason sharing = the EA order comment. sample code. ( Hope someone help to code into Icarus )

by the way. I was doing icarus 4.73 back test. is the auto lot size setting = Account_Risk % ? (I couldn't see it works / increasing the % for bigger lot size during back test)
