scooby-doo BOJ JPY pairs trading robot

The Yen has lost serious value in one day against all its pairings. I wonder how the BOJ will react to this. I am not sure how much reserves they actually have as they are going to have to use a sizeable chunk to recover ground.

If they go for it, which i think they will, it could be a PIP making fountain.

Sounds like fun to me.

A fiver says there is a bug in the robot that kills trading stone dead.

Latest update attached to post 1. Looking forward to later tonight.

Steve,
I'm late to the party, so forgive me if this is a stupid question or has already been dealt with.

The logic on the EA which uses stochastics, appears to be reversed.

It appears to sell a pair which has an Oversold stochastic and buy a pair with an Overbought stochastic.

An oversold xxxJPY pair indicates a strong JPY. If the BOJ intervenes to lower the JPY this would make the xxxJPY pair go up.

I understand the logic with the basket trading EA. It uses the RS_Group_JPY indicator which measures the strength of the Yen directly.

Bottom line- shouldn't the EA buy when the stochastic is oversold and sell when the stochastic is overbought?

I just got an email from a Tokyo trader friend of mine in HSBC Akasaka Branch. He has been called into the trading floor 2 hours early.

I can feel a BIG PIP COOKIE coming your way.

Did you perform a backtest of your robot? How it is performing on historical data?

Just read the damn thread, OK? Neither this robot or the thread or the trading principle are going away. Even reading post 1 would answer this damn silly question.

Fingers poised to make as many edits as possible in as short a time as possible to bugs that come crashing out of the woodwork.

90 mins to Tokyo wake up, and the robot woke up first.

No bug there, at least.
