The 24H robot executed a short basket trade at 0344 GMT and under 2 hours later executed a hedge for CHFJPY.

The robot tried to close the basket at around 0800 GMT, but there was a message stating that the order cannot be routed. Could be my internet connection if no one else had this problem. When I rebooted my PC and started Meta Trader again, the robot closed out all the shorts. Small profit, near break even. When it tried to executed an order to cover shorts, profits was sizable.
Dont forget what I said. The BOJ traders are not directly active in the market meaning strange things will happen i.e. the M15 200 SMA has been broken. Early days but could be a trend reversal.

Expect some blood to be spilt come Tokyo open tonight.

First off.... I love the dashboard nice contribution DXT. I have it loaded on two accounts. One from MIG and one form IBFX. The one on IBFX is showing 100 on both strength indicators M15 and H1, and they don't change. On the MIG account they change and match up with the strength indicator. Any idea what might cause the IBFX one to skew like this? Other than the strength numbers they seem to match up on everything else.
That should be the suffix of IBFX in their currencies.
Put "m" in the suffix field in the settings and it should work then...

I have got rid of the need for this. Put this into init()
Inserted Code
   if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 6) string AddChar = "";
   if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 7) AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, 1);
   if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 8) AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, 2);
   if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 9) AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, 3);
   if (StringLen(Symbol()) == 10) AddChar = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, 4);
I assume you are using an array to store the symbols, so symbol[0] = "GBPJPY" + AddChar etc, sets up the symbol with the appropriate suffix.

I had a hanging trade left open from my sell basket. Aud/Jpy had to be closed manually because it was left open after several requotes on Alpari UK.

He DXTrade, If you were to chaange your code slightly, no one would need to add the suffix. This is how I have done it for years. Very simple.

PHP Code
// this goes with the Global variables
string            suffix = "";

// this goes in the INIT() function  because we only need to look at it once
suffix = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,4);

// then any time you call a symbol name set it up like this
// for example:  "GBPUSD"+suffix
// used in a command example:  iRSI("GBPUSD"+suffix,RSIPeriod,PRICE_WEIGHTED,i);
Just a FYI

EDIT:

Hi Steve, you don't really need all that checking, because MT4 stringsubString automatically defaults to the smallest string available, so just StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,4); does the same thing as all the checking.

Steve,

You can do it with 1 line of code: Suffix = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,StringLen(Symbol())-6);

That has prompted me to go for the nuclear option. There is now a 5000 pip slippage allowance in the OrderClose command.

I will put updated versions up later; let's wait for now to see what else comes up.

I have used this for ages on live and demo accounts with no problems.

OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),3,CLR_NONE);

LOL, I went with the "beat the hell out of the broker" approach. This just keeps hammering the server until they close the trade. It is relentless.

PHP Code
void     CloseAll()
   {
      int totalorders = OrdersTotal();
      
      for(int n=totalorders-1;n>=0;n--)
         {
            OrderSelect(n, SELECT_BY_POS);
            bool result = false;
            
            if ( OrderMagicNumber() == EAControlNumber ) 
               {
                  //Close opened long positions
                  if ( OrderType() == OP_BUY )
                     {
                        result= OrderClose( OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID), 5, White );
                        if ( result == false ) n = totalorders;
                     }   
                  
                  //Close opened short positions
                  if ( OrderType() == OP_SELL )
                     {
                        result=  OrderClose( OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK), 5, White );
                        if ( result == false ) n = totalorders;
                     }
               }
         }
       
      return;
   }

I have a demo sell with 3 hedge trades open. It will be interesting to see if that can ever return to breakeven.

Hi guys
I had some spare time and made a dashboard for those trading this manually... maybe it helps

Showing the price above below 200SMA in 3 timeframes and the 15M and H1 Strength reading with a small buy/sell/wait indi.

Here's how it looks like.
Indi attached. Can't test it as it needs ticks...

Update 22.11.2009:
It's standalone now, no other indicator needed
It does not take CAD and NZD in the calculations. If you need or want it... tell me!
Showing recommended Base Lot Size.
Hhhmmm... I can't edit a post older then 24h...
So here's the updated version of the dashboard working for all suffixes... thanks to SMJones..

My always-on lappy is running a demo dedicated to the 24H. It has a basket with 4 hedge trades open. It could be that once we have hedged the first 2 worst losers, we need to stop hedging and see what happens to the basket.

Let's wait and see for a while.

Steve,

I assume your program only keeps trying to hedge the trades if the DD is > 5% ?
