I added the Sunday candle anyway.

Here is the IsDummy() function

Inserted Code
extern int scoobyLotSizeCalculationDivisor=0;
extern string BaseCurrencyTradedByThisRobot=USD;

void IsDummy()
{
   bool DeadheadedThicky = false;

   if (scoobyLotSizeCalculationDivisor != 20000 
       || BaseCurrencyTradedByThisRobot != "JPY"} DeadheadedThicky - true;

   if (DeadheadedThicky)
   {
      Messagebox("Sorry. You are far too dim to trade Forex. Take up golf instead. This robot is suspended and will not trade")
      RobotSuspended = true;
   }   
}

Steve,

There is a very important failsafe mechanism we need to build into the EA before it places any trades.

........................

if(IsUserDummy()) Lots = 0;

I like it

Damn, this thread moves fast, did you guys sleep?

Oy, watch it. I am one of those.

I could set up a great signals service. They would read,

 

  1. My in-depth analysis shows the EURUSD is at an all-time high. It has banged its nut against the 2.000 for three months now without once breaking through. Every indi in the known multiverse is showing overbought. I am selling now.
  2. Therefore, you should all buy.

EU would promptly shoot through thr 2.000 and scream up 12,000 pips in 20 seconds. People would pay a lot of money for this service.

Steve,

How is TP calculated now ?

I worked it out.

You can set TpMultiplicationFactor = 200 as the default

Also, are you calling the NewsReader every minute ?, if you are then change it to every hour otherwise we could end up killing the FF website.

This line of code came from an EA I re-wrote last month, and there was a function to automate detection of a trader's GMT Offset. If this thread would like a reliable way to detect a constant trading window, I can provide an appropriate time management framework to this effort. Just hard code or specify the the start and stop hours inside your logic and provide a single GMTOffset input for traders to set as an extern. This keeps it simple and straightforward. Let me know if you need a contribution in the area of time management.

Cheers,
David

Both done; revised 1.6 in post 1.

Doesn't an hourly call make the first 30 minutes of MinsBeforeNews=90 irrelevant?

Uptill now it difficult to 'keep up with the Joneses' but it is more difficult to keep up with you.

Assuming you get 2 trades per session then this method will easily return >= 10% per week.

I dont know any Bank that will give you that sort of %ROI.

Hmmmm. Not entirely sure that would be the best idea I ever had.

We will try a 30 minute call and see how that pans out.
