I'm not saying it's right, but just playing devil's advocate and suggesting not to get too pissed off with the ignorant masses (of which I am one). If I got hacked off teaching the juniors in my career I would soon become a very miserable man.

Hi Steve and others.

I have read the hole thread several times and understand the trading system. But I have a question (I hope itīs ok with question ) about the automatic LotSize. Balance/20000=LotSice, I guess that is if we have Bace currence in USD. If we have another Base Currence I think we have to calculate it manually and set RobotCalculatesLotSize:false.

$20000=1lot
€20000 must be 20000*1,5/20000=1,5Lot

Thanks for a fantastic thread

I suggest a secondary thread as an adjunct to a primary, vouchered thread, a "Scooby-Doo Basket Trading Thread for Dummies," that scooby, Steve, and Scott may review, if they so choose, for any potentially valuable material. In this secondary thread the Dummies, like the souls of the damned, may torment themselves ad infinitum with questions about time, lot sizes, smiley faces, etc.etc.

Holy Macaroni Batman! I think we need a script that can load robots quicker than us humans to keep up with version updates.

Awesome work from the Hopenator

Very interesting thread I must say. I just installed v1.9 and can't wait to see how it works out on the old demo account.

Quality job on the robot Steve, and that pdf is a very good read

Hehe. Actually, I don't think much will happen tonight - there are low level news items that will stop trading for most of the period.

We shall see.

There is a problem with the Forex Factory calendar which FFCal calls, it says they are Low impact affecting the Yen when in fact they are Medium.

Wow, 66 traders viewing, 46 are members.
Member ratio getting better. Why dont all you nonmembers join FF.

Just downloaded v1.9, thanks Steve. I see the view count is still 0 even after a few refreshes & page changes, strange.

Scooby-doo, sorry to see you have had enough. Spose I can start with more of my stupid questions now.
A really very big thankyou from way down deep for what you have exposed us to. The potential is just so staggering for us retailies here, tapping at the side of massive trades from banks, countries even.

cheers scalpz

Hello Steve,

Thank you so much for fixing the issue with ECN brokers! Just tested v1.8 on CollectiveFX and worked like a treat.

If Steve doesnt mind then I will pop back from time to time to see how people are doing. But i am not going to answer any questions unless they come to me via Steve on personal email.

I am sure many competent traders here have, after reading the intervention document, realised that this can be used for trading other currency pairs outside of this methodology. I dont need to say anymore on that.

As i said before, you have all the information at hand and a good EA to trade this method. They maybe a few bugs but I am sure Steve will iron these...
Scooby, In the end, you have already stated everything that is necessary to work this method. Ultimately if a person has no trading background, this EA would bring their down fall. There is no such thing as a set and forget method. The markets make sure of that, because the only thing anyone can count on in the markets is that they will change and evolve. I respect your decision to lay low. The silly questions now are getting to be too much.

I have been trading 22 years and thought I had seen about everything, but you gave me some new things to think about and I thank you for that. I even think I know what you are talking about with your 24/5 method you are working on, after reading your BOJ Intervention document. Then I spent several hours last Friday and last night on the net reading about interventions in general and Central bank functions and policies across the world and the connections between. ie, All currencies are interconnected; something I already knew, but had not considered the ramifications of it.

I wish there was a place here at FF where experienced traders could just hang out and talk, but although that existed once here it does not now. I do hope you drop in from time to time.

If there is anything I can do for you don't hesitate to PM me.

Kind Regards, Scott

That there are other baskets one might trade with this robot is a fascinating topic. I presume that one of our more experienced traders will explore this and perhaps share with Steve his thoughts.

Scoobs has just pointed out that the robot has a problem with the news filter code that could impact on tonight's trading - FF has the news listed as low level when it is actually medium level. We should not be trading live tonight.

Turn off your live robots now and re-download the fixed 1.9 from post 1.

Sorry about this.

Its actually lucky that there is news affecting GBP at 00.01am which is Medium, so the Robot wouldnt have fired anyway but that is just lucky!

I think FFcal indicator donīt recognize pairs with sufix like gppjpy_FX.
Iīve discovered that because my Broco platform has an error like that and MBT with out sufix is ok.
Someone can solve that ?

It has happened to me twice already, since then I always check ff calendar and babypips calendar to check for inconsistencies.

Its actually a fairly serious problem as FF says there are 3 affecting the JPY when in fact there are 5.

This has big implications for any EA that uses FFCal indicator.

So, be careful.
