Kang Gun Relative Strength trading - the EA's

Hello Steve. I sent you an email several weeks ago but I'm assuming you either didn't receive it or maybe it went into your spam. I have been trying to get hold of Kang Gun regarding his RS_GROUP_XXX V1.1 indicators. I haven't been successful. Bottom line is I've developed a very successful methodology of simply plotting the USD indicator underneath a four hour chart of the EURUSD. What I want to do is make this indicator more visually appealing by basically flipping this indicator upside down. So for example if this bar's value for the USD is 75, it would plot 25 instead. Do you know how I can get hold of Kang? The file is an "ex4" file so I can't do this myself. Or perhaps you might be able to help. Thanks for your consideration.

Regards
Max

Hey Steve, just wondering if you can take a look at a possible bug. I have the EA set to not start trading until 2:00 GMT (IBFX) Monday but your EA opened a basket a few minutes ago at 1:00.

Oh, and the Range method just opens all the pairs in one direction when triggered, correct? A GBP basket opened Strong which bought all pairs, Buy GBPUSD and Buy EURGBP even though a BUY on EURGBP is going against the Strong GBP trigger, this is correct?

Hello Steve....
Hey Max. I remember the email and did reply to it. Who knows what happened to it?

What I said was, I have not heard from KG for quite some time, and do not know how to get hold of him - still don't. I can't help with the indi, because I do not have the source files either.

I will have a look as this must be some mis-coding - I will have got one of the conditionals slightly wrong.

Yep, 'tis the ReverseNotCancel thingy. If this were disabled, the bot would not have sent a eurgbp sell because the pair was rising at the time, or had been rising. With ReverseNotCancel enabled, the bot goes with the flow instead.

OK, that is great but if the EA has decided to send the Strong basket instead, should your EUR comment section say another Strong basket open instead of still calling it Weak trades open? Or change the comment in a way to reflect what has happened?

Thanks
this is the statement of your ea today, I think not bad

Hey Steve,

Yes I did thanks. I've been a bit busy, just managed to sit down and look at the pc, and realised I forgot to turn on the EA, silly me .

I was coming to the same conclusion of the DC as you, and since you've said that I dont think I will pursue it. I'll stay with the range trading.

The Fcal innovation will be great.


Cheers.

Hey sundog. Did you have a great vac?

Not much has happened since you went away.

I have come to the conclusion that the DC method works/fails to work in about equal proportions.

The Range trading robot continues to bring in the pips. Losing baskets are unpleasant, but they are few and far between.

Whilst you were away, I learned to use FFCal to offer a news filter in a different thread. At some stage, I shall add this to the robots here, so they do not take out basket/DC trades just before a major news release.

I know the Range ea is working fine - it did so last week on my live account.

Anyone using the DC robot may have to multiply their stop losses and take profits by 10. Truth to tell, I do not actually know, as I no longer trade the method; try it on demo first to see what happens.

Hehe. You should have heard my language when I found out IBFX were going over to 5 digit quotes. On second thoughts, perhaps not. Currymonster did, and commented, "So restrained, as usual".

I have come to the conclusion that people must deal with the quotes the broker sends, not with 'old-money' quotes. The potential for slip-ups is too great if a robot adaps, say, a stop loss for different digit quotes.

My future robots will require users to enter stops etc appropriate to the broker they are trading.

Mind, that will not be IBFX for me, once I have got together a half-way decent trading pot. I shall be off like a shot to a broker who is not going to ban hedging.

Your lucky that your not in usa. We Yanks are getting bent over to our knees by the US govt and suffer from it as many non us brokers do not take usa residents. I might have to learn to speak Russian and give Putin's brokers like Broco a chance. Never thought I would hear myself say that. (Reagan is turning over in his grave). Lol.

Hi Steve,

I'm still testing your DC robot but since IBFX has swithced to 5 decimal it stopped working...

I multiplied the TP, SL, and Max Spread Allowed by 10 and now i get the following error:
"Buy order send failed with error(130): invalid stops"

I've tried your V2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 robots and they all give the same error...

If it's not too much trouble, could you have a quick look?

thanks!

The invalid stops error also occurs when a buy stop or sell stop order fails because of an invalid price. My guess is the 5 digit broker thingy is interfering with the code that calculates the price at which to send the trade. Leave it with me.

I found a possible cause and have added a fix to V2.3. Sing out if it still doesn't work.

If you are using this on a 5 digit quote platform, then you need to multiply any pips figure by 10. SaharsPendingDistancePips, for example, needs to be 100 not 10.

That is pure luck in the timing of letting the robot loose. V2+ are each the same beast, with one or two glitches corrected.
