Hehe. My wife is starting to ask who this demented, wide-eyed stranger is who keeps on muttering stuff like, "BOJ intervention. Got to get the hedging routine right. Bugger. Lot size calculation off again......"

My piano pupils are starting to ask how they can trade the BOJ intervention. And I am talking about the 8 year olds. The 16's have already worked it out.

And you think I want to read another FF thread? Gimme a break.

On a more constructive note, this stuff is only obvious if you know it. I didn't, two weeks ago.

Playing a Mozart piano concerto is easy when you can do it. I can. Not many others can as well.

So your pupils are coming to you for piano lessons and learning about currency trading ?

You will end up on forbes magazine.

Yeah I know what you mean.

When I goto my mates, they say, make us some money. I say, ok, give me 2 hours.

When they end up with a couple of hundred pounds, they think I am a god or something.

I do understand why the majority on these threads lose money. When I read them I dont know wheather to laugh or cry at what they are doing.

You must be the only guest ever at a party who can be called upon voluntarily to pay for the event as well.

Yeah.

Every month me and some other traders get together and have a competition too see who can make the most in 3 hours.

Whoever loses has to pay for an evening for the rest in the west end, hotels and everything. Tends to help train the mind!!!

I have this contact at BOJ. SHE is playing coy right now, but I know how to push HER buttons.

Send £5,000,000 to my PayPal account and she is yours.

Damn. I gave myself away with that lower-case 'she'. Hey-ho. Can't blame a guy for trying.
Off to bed now. Sweet dreams.

Latecomers arriving here and thinking, "Eh? What?" Just go with the flow, ok? Sometimes things get a bit silly around here.

Steve,

I know this is NOT a critical, and priority is much lower than hedge function.
But I post this again because I don't know whether you just missed or ignored.
You can delete this post if you've already read.
If not, you can try it. I've already tested and worked fine.

I suppose the code should be the following,
Inserted Code
void NewsFilterCheck()
{
   // Checks for impending news events.

   //Call the news reader every 1 minute
   static int OldBar;
   if (OldBar == iBars(Symbol(), [color=Blue]PERIOD_M5[/color]) ) return(false);
   OldBar = iBars(Symbol(), [color=Blue]PERIOD_M5[/color]);
I haven't tested this yet and I'm sorry if this is not correct.
I'm not good at coding..

I shall probably get banned soon as their was a thread where they were knocking british traders. I publicly told them what I thought.

However, I shall still read the thread and keep in touch with Steve via external email.

All the best

Scoob.

I have put the new versions with enhanced hedging techniques into post 1 so the brains around here can check the code. The relevant functions are:

 

  1. void CheckBasketTpSlTarget(): includes the code that takes the decision that hedging is required
  2. bool SendHedgeTrades() handles the actual hedging

You are dead right, scoobs. The code is a piece of piss but the logic would have taken me a while to get around, so you saved me some brain pain there. Cheers.

Actually, what takes most of the time is: copying the changes to the second bot; editing post 1 by uploading the latest versions and explaining them; telling people here that I have done this. Hell of a faff.
