According to FF, medium. It seems FF are not totally reliable.
You might want to build the following into your code:
volumes = 0;
for(int h = 0; h < ArraySize(Indicator.Pairs); h++)
{
volumes += iVolume(Indicator.Pairs[h],0,0);
}
I am using it as an additional filter where group volumes > 500
Cheers

Wow. BOJ doesn't piss about, does it?
On demo overriding the news, one 24H and one 'proper' sell basket. Total about 5% into dd one minute; both hitting their tp's about 5 minutes later.

It must be nice to have a couple of hundred million to have a flutty in the markets.
I estimate that the BOJ made around $37M in half an hour.

Steve,
I am getting a flood of the following errors in the experts log
scooby-doo BOJ basket trading robot 24H V2.1 GBPJPY_fx, M15: symbol name for MarketInfo function must be a string.
It still appears to be opening baskets and functioning, however I am not sure if it's affecting the ea in any way. There are quite a few ecn/stp brokers that have odd extensions such as this, collective, jadefx and quite a few others.
Just figured I'd make you aware of it, otherwise bot has taken 5 short baskets all hitting tp since last night

It is not affecting the bot's performance.

Steve, no. I havent had a single hedge trade since starting up fresh with this new version last night.
I also only have had short baskets, no buys (but not sure if I should have buys in this time or not )
I just figured it had something to do with the actual symbol, having the _ in it. But i am clueless, was just the first thing I thought of

sebastionay, the ea's as they are, will not back test in the strategy tester.
If you also have them loaded on a GBPJPY chart, post another picture & peoples can see if anything shows up why its not taking trades.
cheers scalpz
The greatest force on earth is compound interest.
Well, the 24hr 'All Terrain, All Weather, Doohickey EA' 
is certainly doing the business this week.
A 7.5% increase in balance this week since Sunday night market open. (GMT)
Not to be sniffed at.
Everything is dandy when it's performing. But as others have said, you have to be wary of the potential losing trades. One loser would wipe out this profit easily.
Still think theres lots of potential here and feeling very positive about things.
Lets keep moving forward!

Just wanted to say thanks to Scoob, Steve, and all the other sharp guys who make this a very informative, profitable, and entertaining thread. Love that BOJ....I look forward to 10:30 PM GMT to start looking for pips............. or is it 10:30 GMT on a Sunday, only when the moon is full, and Sarah Palin has just done another book signing................. I don't know........... sometimes I get confused. Steve could you add that variable to the code?

I was also having this error, but after updating to v2.3 it seems to have been fixed - see my earlier post for error details.
Best of luck

Thanks Mac, when I got around to updating, 2.1 was the latest available. I see 2.3 is there now, so I'll give that a shot (assuming you meant 2.3 not 2.4)
Maybe this will allow it to open long baskets, although only having shorts for like 36 hrs sure was working out
