Hi Guys

These are the results from last Thursday and today so far on FXCM demo. 5 Digit.

Last Thursday using V2 1.3
Today using V2.3 & 24H V1

Only consistant losers so far has been NZDJPY, but look pretty awesome other than that. Although 24H V1 seems to place trades at the same time as V2.3.....but I suppose it would because the time and conditions were meet. Thats 85% wins so far....looking good !

Is anyone trying to run this on MBT Metatrader 4?
If so could you share how you have modified it to work on this ECN.
I am trying but not having success.
Thanks

You have to put "criminalisECN" to true for it to work.

Request

Can one of the expert programmers here (apart from Steve who has enough todo) take a look at the news program and change it so it refreshes every 15 minutes.

There are two reasons for this:

1. The new weekly file is generated sometime between 11.00pm GMT Sunday and 02.00am GMT Monday. We will never know exactly when.

2. News can get changed and times moved.

At the moment from what I can see it gets a new file every 4 hours. Which is far too long.

Also, it is not a case of just changing the RefreshHour and RefreshMin as they seem to have changed the logic further down in the code.

Cheers,

Scoobs.

PS. This is the FFCal or whatever it is now called.

Could someone please help me out I discovered this thread last evening. I read through all the post downloaded the EA and PDF's. Dragged the ea on my 15M chart, left it at 4AM GMT checked in at 7AM GMT, but no trades were opened. Skimmed through the thread again and the PDF's but could not find any reason why no trades were openned. Did anyone else have this. Did I miss something? EA's are new to me I normally trade manually EUR/JPY using the mcdaddy strategy.
A gracious reply would be appreciated.

Just a quick query regarding the trade management of the EA once a basket of trades has been opened. It says in the BOJ Trading Method PDF file that we should exit at lot size * 200, which of course is automated into the EA. However, I am little confused as to which timeframe we look at regarding the other exit method, i.e. below or above the 50 line. Are we looking for the indicator to cross the 50 line on the 15 minute or 1 hour timeframe, or both? Or is this already automated into the EA? Additionally, is this exit method in case the trade goes against us? In essence, we pull the plug and drag the "immediate close basket" box along the chart and close the trades when we cross over the 50 line as this signals that the trade has obviously not worked?
Cheers

Steve, can you replace the one in the first post.
Thank you
'Tis done. Thanks for this.

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".
That is because they are both basket trades. You need to change the trade comment for one of them so you can tell which robot is doing the business. I forgot to do this by default as I am not running both robots on the same demo.

Those of you getting strange messages or odd behaviour on the part of the 24H version need to re-download it from post 1.

which Bot are you using? Start with the 24 hr BOT. The 24 hr Bot has no time constraints/parameters to be set/adjusted etc.,etc. To get happy, I suggest you 1)load the indicators,2)load the 24 hr Bot,3)adjust for 4/5 digit,4)set magic number,5)set criminalsIBfx to true. Leave everything else as is. Read and re-read the info on the first page of this thread. Any additional problems feel free to PM me. I will do my best to help.

Sorry Scooby, must have missed something. I will go back through the thread and see what I missed.
