Does anyone know if you can pass a symbol() to FFCal or does it only work on the Symbol() chart it is attached too ?

Never worked with that indicator before, but had a quick look, you should be able to change line 492

string pair = Symbol();

to the symbol you want, for example

string pair = "GBPJPY";

and then recompile it. Or add another external variable, but then the EA needs to be updated if it calls it.

Edit: Added modified version with pair, if you don't enter anything it will take the one from the chart it is attached.

can you just not pass whatever symbol() you like rather than NULL that appears below:

iCustom(NULL, 0, "FFCal", true, true, false, true, true, 1, 0);

Steve,

Can you remove BOJS.PDF from post #1 and replace it with this one.

Cheers,
'Tis done. Just catching up on everything else here as I have been out all day.

In theory it should work, but I am not sure it will work in practice. If you want you can try the version I attached above, though I haven't tested it.

Steve: what if someone might take this ea and start selling it; do you have any ways to prevent this?!
Nope and it will happen, sadly.

KG gave his indis freely.

scoob gives his advice here freely.

No way am I going to try to restrict access to the robot code. Let's just hope those who end up paying for software that is actually available free make loads of dosh as well. They should do.

Ok, thanks.

We may at some point have to try to exclude major/medium economic news for the pairings in the basket: JPY, AUD, GBP, USD, CHF, EUR.

But, maybe not. We shall see.

V1.7 is attached to post 1. All it does is enforce loading onto a GJ chart and encourage users to load it onto a 15M chart. If you already have 1.6 and know what you are doing, you don't need 1.7.

Not long until the new week starts. The robot is going onto one of my live accounts - an eglobal cent account. Nothing tests a robot like being used live, so we shall see how it fares.

Here's hoping for as much fun as we all had last week.

Trust me, the method is sound.

Unless ofcourse there is an Earthquake or some other disaster (God forbid) affecting Japan just after everyone goes live.

Remember my Signals Service?

Citizens of Japan, I am going live. I suggest the last person out of Japan turns off the lights. I would make it quick, if I were in your shoes.

Just wondering if there are any plans to release an inverted version of the RS_GROUP_JPY Strength Index indicator?

I have set my robot for selling hour 23.00, it is currently 23.36

however it currently says

outside of trading hours
selling hour starts at 23.00. trade monitoring starts 30 minutes later

Is this normal or will it not trade?

I was having the same problem, after much trial and error I changed all the TimeLocal functions in the code to TimeCurrent so it now uses server time and it works great.

I think some of our computers might be spitting out some gibberish for the local computer time.
