FYI - finally I have now two trades open triggered by the EA ! These are NZD/JPY and AUD/JPY. Anybody else is in these ?

BTW - what does this mean: "2nd stage crook" ?

Well done. Nothing like bloody-minded determination to win the day eventually.

I consider the brokers to be little more than a bunch of crooks. I didn't until the recent NFA fiasco. Now, I know they are all shysters who should be trusted as much as we should trust a nasty smell to act in our own best interests.

Hence my input, CriminalIsECN, meaning that the crim involved is an ECN 2 stage trade sending broker/criminal. The writer of the thread involving "2nd stage crook" was merely joining in the game.

My, S/R feature dose not seem to work.

resistance=0.0000 and same for support.

Is it bad idea to add manual settings of Take profit? It is not part of AshFX system but I mean that it can be useful. Maybe with combination of trailing stop. For example - close first half with TP and second half move SL to BE and begin trailing with TP distance? Or close first half with TP and second move SL to TP? Or close whole trade at TP? Steve, is it possible to code it with more configuration options? One for first half and one for second half? Let's discuss it.

Edit: correct typo.

I'm forward testing this robot on live a/c. So far 4 trades opened and all stopped out.

Hi Vinesh,

On which timeframes are you using the robot? Just curious.

So perhaps I'm missing something easy here, but is there a way to apply the EA to each chart? I just loaded the Ash template on each chart and notice it took out the EA.. so I'm just wondering if there's a way I can globally apply it so I don't have to add it again (and load the settings) for each damn chart. Haha.

Thanks

@abroco:

Are you trading only EUR/GBP ? So it may be really true - you wont have any trades for 1-2 weeks ! This is a daily sytem - it's quite possible to have only 1-2 trades during one month on each pair ! Thats the reason I have the EA trading for 25 pairs - and because of filtering the EA even dont take every trade perhaps signaled by the AshFx dashboard ! I personallly have so far only 2 trades open (from 25 pairs !) ! So you have to wait pateintly !

Or open (much) more charts with different pairs !

You have to set Allowablewick to 100. Read previous posts and manual.

It is essential. Explanation in the user guide.

Additionally, I have bumped up my CandleLengthOverAverage to 30 i.e. 30% over the average. Only time will tell if this works ok.

Also make sure you have the latest version; this shows alerts when the robot cancels a trade, telling you why.

Yep. The most stupid idea I have ever seen.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. Only kidding.

Somehow, I missed your post. To recap:

Steve, is it possible to code it with more configuration options? One for first half and one for second half? Let's discuss it.
Yes, all these things are possible. The difficulty with adding more and more options is this: the user is faced with more and more choices to make.

This does not seem to be a problem to the proposer of the idea, nor to the coder. A few weeks down the line things change.

These days, when I have to make changes to either of the KG robots I have first to work out what the coding was designed to do in the first place. With the passage of time, this is not always easy.

Earlier today, I had to make some changes to a different robot in a different forum. I found myself looking at some of the inputs and wondering what their function was.

Ok, I found out quickly. These are my robots, yet I can have trouble remembering what they do sometimes because of the complexity of the inputs. What hope does anybody else have?

So, the robot is trading Ash's system as closely as I can come for now. I am going to resist the urge to add more 'improvements' because I know: 1) how hard these can make a robot to understand; 2) how far from the original, successful, trading system these can move the robot.

If you want further management enhancements, you will find much of what you want included with mptm.

"2nd stage crook"

Doesn't fully understand this - what does true or false mean for the EA parameter "CriminalsECN" ? How do we have to set it right ?

If you don't know, that means your criminal is not a 2 stage crim, so leave it set to false.

Somebody else explain, please. I am busy.
