After writing my last reply, I went to the trading computer to check my PairSuffix. For whatever reason, the 'm' that should have been there was missing. Goodness knows who pinched it.

This blasted setting has been the cause of enormous problems throughout. I shall add a line to the display to show users what their setting is.

Hi Steve,

I knew what it means where the baskets won't get sent when there are insufficient trades, but I just wanted to know if everyone was getting the same kind of message since last Friday. That there were no new trades for that long of a period. Is this common, because I rarely ever even saw one insufficient trade message let alone nothing but those messages for 4 or 5 days. Somebody let me know when there is a basket trade in the Range Trader. Just so I know. Thanks. LOL.
I had 3 baskets opened today.

Yes, within minutes of replacing the 'm' in the PairSuffix input, mine took a couple of baskets.

I have added some screen feedback about this input, so download the latest V2 from post 1 as usual.

Don't need it.

You have the maximum spread set to 20 yet yours is a 35 digit criminal. This is the equivalent to 2 on a normal 24 digit criminal. That leaves the robot able to trade EU with SS. That is not enough for a basket given your chosen minimum of 4 trades per basket.

Apart from that TP is too small.

Steve,

Thanks Steve. I set the maximum spread to 200 from 20, which makes sense, and stong and weak TP to 1000 from 100. Thanks to Vinesh too. Stength in Profit Pips Target to 100 from 10. Let's see if things take off now. BTW, Steve, my Goddaughter, my niece Jennifer is getting married to a one of your fellow countrymen, Peter Shaw on Saturday. I will drink an extra pint for you. Take care.

Hey Steve,

I have never seen this before... and am wondering if the robot is actually capable of opening multiple positions with a single pair in the same basket or if there was a "hiccup" someplace when the robot was trying to execute the strong basket. It opened 3 AUD/USD positions, 2GBP/USD positions and 2 EUR/USD positions. BTW, it just opened this USD strong basket at 9:27am EST. I find that very puzzling since the strength of USD has not been below 10 recently. Can you share some insight on this one with me? Is the robot actually hedging against the weak basket?

P.S. I have been very impressed with this EA... so far!!!

Last point first; the robot has no formal hedging capability.

As to the multiple-opening thingy, I have no idea what happened here. The way the ea is coded should make this impossible.

I wonder if this scenario is possible:

 

  1. the robot is sending a basket of trades. Until the basket is sent, then the basket-should-be-sent-now trigger is not cancelled.
  2. the robot detects another tick; this sends it around its internal loops again. It sees that it should send a basket, so it does so. Two baskets are sent as a result.

I shall have to think about this.

Does your computer ever run very, very slowly? I just had a thought.

Brilliant news everybody.

My IBFX account reached double its starting balance today, courtesy of the Range robot. Up from $220 to $440.

Ok, peanuts but compounding with the money management feature is raising the speed at which the profits accrue.

Looking good.

Congrats Steve! It's good to hear this works even with the no hedging madness. Didn't you open an account with a hedging broker as well? How is that doing?

I'm going to go live with a $100 account at IBFX - their money for opening an account, so that's a risk I can afford.

Sounds good to me. Go with 0.01 lots and don't close a bad basket, ever. Sometimes you have to hang around for weeks waiting for a bad 'un to turn around, but they do eventually.

I opened a tiny account with e global that is doing very well - not a US criminal and so allows hedging.

I read these thread with much interest and wish to know any changes with the setting with regard to 4 digit accounts and 5 digit accounts on ibfx.

Thank you

Good News Steve. How long did it take to double your account? Thanks.

Misterpipster
I made the deposit at the end of Feb, but the 7 months it has taken to double the account contains a number of blunders, software errors and wrong turns.

These are well documented in earlier posts here. It is probably more useful to know that the account has risen by $119.57 in the last month, or 34.88% of its balance a month ago.

Hehe. In the time it took me to: go back and populate the history tab with the trades for the last month; drag the profit percentage script onto the screen; note the details and post them here; go back to the history tab to recall the activity for today - a GBP basket opened earlier closed at its 100(0) pips profit target.

I always enjoy it when that happens.
