Having a bit of a late one here.....must go to bed in a min so I can get up for trading tomorrow...lol...sort of got carried away reading the thread.

Thanks for the 24hr version.

Quick question on V2.3.....Im using that version now, on the 1st thread when you download it from there it just calls the file 2.3 in the description, but when I load the robot it shows a different title in the top righthand corner (see attached picture)....is that ok ?

cheers

This seems to happen sometimes when downloading. I suggest not bothering about it for now.

It looks as though 2.4 is working properly, so I should be able to remove 2.3 from post 1 tomorrow, and tell people to use 2.4 with the extra features this provides.

Im running Xp, and there is no need to apologise
Ok, I should be able to get the final fixed version tomorrow, there is an issue with the Red Time marker moving as well that I need to fix.

I put the new 24 hr version on a 50K MIG demo and it is up almost 1800.00 on two baskets since open. Kind of fun!

I've had mine on for the last 2 hours and nothing, mine is on Alpari, 15min chart. It is stock standard defaults. Have you tweaked yours? Tks.

The only tweaks I made were for a 4 digit broker vs a 5 digit broker on spread and sl etc. Other than that I let it run.

Ok, here is a fixed version of my Forex Market Hours indicator. Should be working ok now. Let me know if there are any issues.
Steve, can you replace the one in the first post.
Thank you

Just got up for a minute and checked how things are going? Looks like everyone else is having good results with both versions of the ea?
Could it be that it is the broker I am using?

Looks more like your settings to me... You're losses are small but frequent. I find that taking a moderate profit and a moderate loss makes good profit in the end.. 1:1 is what im using.

Hello Everyone,

Just finished looking through the thread and digesting the progress so far. I have always been a fan of the basket idea so I am extremely grateful to Steve and Scooby for putting this thread together, great work guys, keep it up

I have started a demo this morning and will post my progress.
Just to confirm, is this how my chart should look?

Cheers

I have also just finish reading the thread (such a long thread in such a short time!!).

I am really intrigued with this strategy and would really like to extend my appreciation to Scooby Doo and Steve for their hard work and their unselfish nature to develop this for the benefit of all.

Settings for both V2.4 and V24 are set at 1% risk. Even if I do have trade Sunday on, the trades were taken on the Monday candle.
What seems odd about the broker is that the broker is a 4 digit broker even using the Australia demo?

It looks like the 24hr EA is the losing one. My 24hr EA has not made one trade, I see several on yours.

This looks very good thanks for all the work MUCH appreciated

I put both the 24 hour one and the 2.4 on charts - the 2.4 works fine when i hit the sell/buy basket, but the 24hr opens and then instantly closes all orders.

Regards

Just thought I post this up. I am not sure if this 24H robot follows the BOJ rules or KG rules as prior to Tokyo close, it executed two baskets to short (even with news coming on - I was told the other robot suspended all trading and it should be long only prior to Tokyo close as per Scooby's rules).

My TP is only 20. I believe this is as per the formula used to calculate when pairs combined value is .......etc. etc. (see BOJ Trading Method pdf if unsure)

However it did come up in-the-money. It made 1.8% on capital today, so I am not complaining. Thing is, it's not live yet until Steve puts in the brains. Rise Frankenstein, rise!!!

I was just looking through todays "auto" trades, there are 2. Both at BUY times.

The first is a buy, which closed in profit, 15 mins later it opened up a Sell, this also closed in profit.

As I was not at the keyboard, I didn't see this happen. Now, both are denoted as a "basket trade". Sooooooooooooooo, hmm. I better go and read back a few pages.. V2.3

appears to be working just fine. Opening and closing positions and hitting TPs like a good little Bot. Buttons working properly. Robot love... All this on IBfx Demo.
