Steve, I am sending you the entire group. via email. All finished. Still thinking about the sub window problem.

Edit, you have a straggler Object that the coordinates are out of bounds in the indicator for the range group, on the EA.. I'll take a closer look.

The reason is because the indi is creating a object in window1 and the EA has no Window1, only window0

Steve,

I have been researching a way to increase the likely hood of a trade setup but still arriving at a 99.99% success rate.

OB.Upper.TF = 70
OB.Lower.TF = 90
OS.Upper.TF = 30
OS.Lower.TF = 10

Example:

if M15 < OS.Lower.TF and H1 < OS.Upper.TF then SELL XXXJPY
if M15 > OB.Lower.TF and H1 > OB.Upper.TF then BUY XXXJPY

In trading terms > 70 & < 30 are still considered OB & OS in higher TF's

Let me know your thoughts.
'Tis done. V1.2 in post 1.

Hehe. I have to write robots because I am a rubbish manual trader.
Thats what I meant Steve, we would just put you in an iron clad room and only let you out to take delivery of your new trading robots.

We wouldnt let you anywhere near the BUY or SELL buttons.

That was a great party we had last night. For some of you, it was daytime so you were able to keep the party going.

My machine did not take any trades during the Tokyo closing session; it downloaded some Windows updates that installed themselves then rebooted the machine. This is my coding computer, so I haven't told it not to do that.

Just to let you all know, the faulty Sell trades you all got this morning resulted from some faulty logic coded into the robot. I have fixed this and emulated a Buy session and a Sell session and everything...
They profited from the coding error.

I am wondering if we shouldnt just drop CADJPY from this trading methodology.

Its one of the purest ways to express an opinion on oil in the currency market as Canada is the primary beneficiary of high oil prices in the industrialized world while Japan is the greatest victim.

Anyone have an opinion on this ?

It is very easy to invert the RS JPY indi to look more traditional on the OB and OS.. Just playing around with the code a bit.

Makes sense as I came across info when I was new to forex that Japan has to import most of their oil, higher oil prices aren't good for Japan.

So you are saying that because of the extremes between Japan and Canada, it throws the basket out of balance?

So would you just increase your overall lot size to compensate for the removal of one of the group longs or shorts? Or would you decrease the multiple of 120? Or is it not that big of a deal?

BTW IBFX does not have CADJPY, so when I want to trade it, I have to create it synthetically.

We should drop it from the indicator and leave the Lot size and 120 the same.

Should probably create a new indicator based on KG RS_GROUP_JPY V1.2 and call it JPY Index Strength or something....

Well it would be very easy to drop it from the indicator, I can adjust the averaging automatically so the indicator values would remain in the same parameters. This is not my inidcator though, so I would need Steve's ok, because I am not sure how he intended it for me to modify. I would be happy to do it though if it is ok. Take about 5 minutes to do.

Steve,

I think we need todo this as from my experience the CADJPY usually goes in the opposite direction to the other XXXJPY pairs. It also reacts very badly to economic statements.

How about I just make the change and only post the ex4. That way I would not be distributing his source code without permission. Give me just a minute. Do you want it original or inverted like the chart i posted above?

smjones,

If you invert it, will that effect the EA when it calls it via iCustom()?
In other words will the EA read it correctly?
