The robot 24/5 still trades with newsfilter=true

Steve - You have every right to ban me or delete this post as it is your thread. If you choose to do so, I wish you the best of luck with this method. However, you are adding to the time confusion.
Your posting again reminds me of something I meant to do last week. Somehow I forgot, so sorry; been busy is my only pathetic excuse. Please see the 'honours board' of appreciations in post 1.

"Set your computer time (bottom right on the task bar) to Japan, Tokyo time.
Verify that your kitchen watch has new batteries and is running fine.
When it's 7am on your computer watch your kitchen clock and enter what you see in the SellHourStarts field of your EA.
Add 8 and enter this in your BuyHourStarts field of your EA.
Alternatively you can wait until your PC shows 3pm, watch your kitchen watch and enter the time you see.
Don't forget to reset the PC clock back to the time you see on your kitchen clock, otherwise you have all wrong.
If you don't know the time in your country... go play Pool in your local pub and get drunk.
Or ask Steve and get banned"

Thanks for bringing this up. My demo expert is involved in trading, so I hadn't noticed this. I loaded it onto another chart with a different magic number and yes, it is ignoring the news filter.

I shall look into this.

Steve,

Do the trading robots differentiate between High, Medium & Low impact news releases or are all news releases treated equally regarding the 60 mins before - 30 mins after setting?

I whas thinking of the 24/5 EA. I guess with current settings it both buy and sell 24/5 exept for news. But regards to BOJ, wasn´t it better if

10.30-00.30 Only sell and 06.30-08.30 Only buy

as the other Robot.

Elovv did indeed spot a bug. 24H V1.2 with the bug fix is in post 1.

DxTrade et al, look on the bright side. The previous update must be at least 5 hours ago. Blame Elovv for this one. 'Tis an essential download if you want the news filter working on the 24H versions.

Anyone still getting the 30 second new candle delay, even with the updated versions?

There have been a couple of updates since that bug first showed up and was reported as fixed. Still have it here.

Listen very carefully

The Tokyo stock market opens at 9.00am
The Tokyo forex market opens at 8.00am

Now, I am currently living in the United Kingdom which means there is a time different of +9 hours.

So,

The Tokyo stock market opens at 12.00am GMT
The Tokyo forex market opens at 11.00pm GMT

Now, forex traders reserve the right to enter the market when they wish and not to the official times. Much of this decision is based on direction's from the BOJ.

I have explained this to my 9 year old nephew. I gave him a test and he gave me the correct answer. And maths is not his best subject.

That is a good idea. No point in fighting BOJ, for a while anyway.

Looks like trading hours might be finding their way back into 24H version. Oh goody.

I just need to contemplate how to integrate your idea back into the robot. Won't happen immediately as I am busy tomorrow, but will do as soon as I can.

Thanks for some great thinking.

No, but other robots I have coded that use the news filter do, and have the ability to ignore news releases rated less than, say, High impact. 'tis in the back of my mind to think about.

Any suggestions?

I made this indicator based on the RSI code of the EA to visually check. It is a bit different than the original RS... I don't know if this will give better or worse results, seems less smooth. Unless I have some error in the code, I hope someone will spot it in this case.

Also I've added options to invert and to display group stoch (they moreless look the same cause they are from the same family anyway).

I hope someone will find it useful

I don't know if this is correct, but why maintain 2 robots? can't we just adjust a bit the time limits in the main robot to allow it to work more hours, and save the trouble having to update 2 EAs?

My initial thoughts were too ignore High and Medium. However, i think we saw last week that the FF calendar is not very accurate i.e. reporting low when it was medium and medium when it was low. So, if we want to full automate this safely then i think we need to ignore High, Medium and Low.

This does mean potentially that we are going to miss allot of trading situations but this is where it comes down to being safe or some sort of user input.

Cheers

Well, looking at the robot code I assume if you switch off the Medium Impact news in FFCal Scoobs.mq4, the robot will ignore Medium Impact releases. This will then only leave High Impact releases and the suggested 60 mins before/30 mins after buffer setting is probably about right.

IMHO, it is not necessary to have such a large time buffer around Medium Impact releases - this could be 15 mins either side. This based on my manual trading experience.

Chip in anyone with other ideas ....
