Steve,

Can you add this to post #1 if it is not already there.

TP is set to 200. This is on the low side for safety as we have no proper way of ascertaining correct support/resistence etc.

Sometimes the TP will be too low and sometimes the TP will actually be too high depending on different market conditions.

You can ofcourse set this higher but dont be surprised if your baskets never hit TP or take hours, days, weeks todo so.


Cheers

Before you leg it off to the land of the rising Sun.......

Wondering still about the Brokers issue....ie which retail broker too use live.

I think from you comments we estabished a UK based broker might be better...from the regulations aspect....

I have an account with FXCM (UK) on both MT4 BT & Trading Station II, the later one I only use to place orders and use various other MT4 Brokers for charts. Lots of strange stuff used to happen on the FXCM BT live account which caused many losses, so I lost confidence in it and currently its dormant.

But do you think that Alpari are a better choice ? or do you have an opinion on others. Just figured with your experience you may be able to assit in this one further.

Cheers

I dont really want to plug a particular broker etc. Personally, I have a large account with Alpari (UK), never had a major problem with them that wasnt rectified within 24 hours and I always find it easy to get hold of and talk to support/back office etc. Plus the first £50,000 of your deposit is protected by UK government etc.

However, their demo servers do freeze often. But again, never had a big issue with their live servers.

Its basically down to user expectations and individual preferences.

I used Alpari UK for around 2 years. On the whole I found them a good broker, they even gave me good fills and spreads trading news, but recently I had one bad experience that was enough for me to close my account. I can’t comment as the dispute is still on going.
I had a small account with them ( around 5K) I think that makes a difference with any broker.

First I would like to congratulate Scooby-doo, SteveHopwood and all others for this remarkable work.
I have read everything about this thread, do the basic reading and research and try to understand how the robot works. This strategy looks very smart and the coding well writed.
But I am still confuse about the trading hours.
I saw the input are 22-6 gmt.
I am gmt+1 (Paris) and compare with many posts and concluded to set 23-7
Now I follow Scooby-doo post 1967 (ForexTimeZoneConverter) and this site explains for gmt+1 tokyo hours are 24-8.
Who is right ? Thank you for enlight me.
I start this robot on demo with MIG (4 digits, gmt+1) and will post my results as soon they will be interesting

I added parameter RefreshMinutes default 15

It should be OK but haven't tested it.

Cheers fella. Mucho appreciated.

It has to be renamed for the robots to run it, so everyone needs to re-download the indicators script from post 1, and extract this version already renamed.

It is worthwhile re-downloading the latest versions of the two bots as well. I keep on forgetting to turn the default news filter setting to on; I nearly always need it turned off whilst I am developing the bots. To counter this, I have added the filter status to the screen display.

There you go, just attach to any chart.

Please note that I haven't tested it, just wrapped the original code in the loop. It will check for connection every 1 sec default, change it with CheckIntervalSec parameter if you want.
My Alpari demo usually disconnects for fun; I haven't seen it disconnected since adding this ea to it, so it looks as though the ea is working fine.

I shall put this in post 1 then it doesn't get lost.

I got a message from the guy of my VPS server where my MT4's are hosted.
He asked me what the heck I'm doing there, uploading EA's and Indis every 2 minutes and compiling them.
Looks like I have to pay an extra fee
