Hi,

did anyone get caught out by the sudden price jump (as seen on GY) at around 08:15 GMT this morning.

Not sure what happened but my 24H robot (v1.8) started opening sells and according to the expert log was successful, but when i came home and checked only 2 of them were visible in the trade terminal - immediately closed with comment Expiration [01/01/1970] or something along these lines.

So no losses incurred (this is demo anyway) but would definitively end up in problems if the trades would have been successful.

Never have seen this type of comment either, but they definitively came from the 24H robot.

Anyone else?

I had forgotten about this. I added a volume display but didn't do anything about the filter. This is really just a note to myself to remind myself to do something about it.

Did you see the indicator I posted ?

Maybe we could include its logic for BUY/SELL volumes instead of just volume[0]

Smjones, About "100 updates" ago you mentioned living in Salt Lake. What part of the city do you live in? I am live in the Sugarhouse area. Several nights of the week, I hang out at the Coffee Garden at 9th & 9th pondering the meaning of life and forex (not necessarily in that order).

Both my sons would hang out at the Coffee Garden. I thought they moved though when they started the remodel on that corner. Small world isn't it. LOL

PS, I live about a mile from IBFX in the South East Side.
Is this a dating website ??

If you ever saw me, you would wonder how that could be possible. LOL

A face only a mother could love and perhaps my wife, but I have always wondered if she isn't really secretly blind.

But now that you mention it, that does seem a bit personal. I'll go delete my post.

No idea. Not a hint of a clue how it works. Indi code does nothing more than leave me utterly baffled.

No idea either what yours tells me. I mean, green = buyers; red = sellers I get, but what does red with a green outline mean?

Hi I was waiting for an answer from Steve to see if it would be alright for me to post it. He said that would be fine, so I will now. I have also written up a Doc to explain how to install and use it. I have not figured out how to access the properties of the chart with Mq4 language and it actually may not be possible., but I have been able to use this by scaling the chart manually and I explain the simple procedure in the Doc. If someone does know how to access the scaling features of a chart, (F8 functions) I would like to here about it. Or if...
Thanks for the indicator!
I'll start exploring tonight.
I don't know how to access the scaling features. In fact my programming skills are firmly rooted in BASIC and punched cards to enter it to core from a long ago course.

I installed it. Attached it to FXDD GBPJPY 15M chart. But it does not show any scaling features for the chart.. And yes, I checked each tab to find it... but no scaling features.


OOOOPS..... Found the problem.... I was looking in the wrong place.... I needed to look at the Chart properties instead of the indicator properties.... Sorry....But it won't show candles on FXDD.... I tried it on IBFX and it does show the candles.... Is this indicator limited use on IBFX (m-suffix, 5 decimal)?

Proper robot V3.1 is uploaded to post 1. Truth to tell, with updating the KG range bot, I cannot remember what is new/updated in 3.1. 'Tis there anyway.

Idiot that I am, I thought Japan is behind the UK timewise, so I thought tonight's session was the opening of their pub hols. Obviously it was last night - sun rising in the east and all that.

So, no surprise there was no trade last night. Brilliant about the successful buy basket this morning. Shouldn't have been trading at all.

Just put v2 on and I am getting the 130 error. Actually, I noticed it on the v 1.9 one also before I went to this version? Stop loss is original at 6000. Was looking through other threads regarding the 130 error and came up with the following?
realize that the error log states "OP_BUY" but this output is likely to be the result of programmer-defined Print() statements in the EA, as opposed to output generated directly by MT4.

Nice one. The robot was looking to update the stop on a hedge trade because I had left out an essential line of code from the checking process.

Fixed version in post 1.

Well, the 'All Terrain' EA (24hr) is rocking on for me at the moment.
A 5.5% increase in balance/equity since last night (Sunday night GMT).
News Filter set to '3'
Congratulations to everyone involved with the creation and continuing development of these 2 EA's, especially Scooby & Steve.
Watching & testing with interest.

I'm sure you've put in the right date, but just a quick note for anyone who isn't sure.
The Japanese public holiday for 23rd November has been and gone. It's now the 24th November in Tokyo. So you need to input the date for the next holiday which is on 23rd December. And you need to make sure you get the hours (and date) right in your own local time.
After doing this, if the EA still says that it's suspended and you need to input the date for the next holiday, just close and then re-open your MT4 platform.
Here's a link to a useful Japanese holiday calendar
