Latest versions of both bots in post 1.

The 24H has volume and correlation filters. Both bots have extra coding to force a trade resend when one fails. I had code in place for this originally, but it was not being called so I had to change it.

Tough times ahead indeed http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/smilies/yim/sigh.gif

If UK has a labour force of 31.23 million (2008 est.), that will be more than 10% unemployment!! http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/s...m/surprise.gif

In the US contrary to what the Govt says UE is closer to 15%

Scoobs stay away from the states no hedging LOL

My FF calender appears then disappears, vertical news lines disappear and don't return when the FF cal reappears, apparently not protecting my demo account from news trades. Are other members having this problem?

You need to check the correlation on 4H TF

Group.Correlation += Cor(Symbol(),Pairs[i],240);

Cheers

Cheers Scoobs; that should have been obvious. Been a bit dim there, guys. Update your V2.5 from post 1. Sorry.

I have always said that trading on M1 or M5 is not an option. However, i have been noticing something which may appeal to manual traders here and possibly may be incorporated into the robots.

The setup is as follows:

- GBPJPY M15 chart.
- Put a M5 200 SMA on the chart. (using the attached MTF MA)
- Buy if Bid > M5 200 SMA + 0.200
- Sell if Bid < M5 200 SMA - 0.200

Still use the original BOJ method whereby the indicator is telling you OB or OS areas. Basically, we are still trading the M15 TF but the SMA 200 on M5 TF becomes our support/resistance line.

Remember, be conservative with those TP's.

Cheers

Scoobs.

'Twould be a doddle to automate. Are we still talking baskets, here, or individual trades?

I think it can apply to either, I am going to run a test tonight on the XXXJPY basket.

Lets see where this one goes.

Looking at the correlation side, the USDJPY doesnt fit very well compared to the others, so my trading basket will be:

- AUDJPY
- CHFJPY
- EURJPY
- GBPJPY

I am actually running too tests, one with all the XXXJPY pairs in the indicator and one with just those 4 above in the indicator.

My opinion is that correlation plays a big part in this basket and I should be able to prove this fairly quickly.

Nice dashboard. I was wondering, what is your built-in criteria for the Buy / Sell display?

Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply... but we had torrential rains here and a 36 hour power cut on the island. First time that happened.
Weird experience with trades open on VPS

Well, my FXDD buy basket from 24th hit SL on FXDD live at the JPY drop yesterday.

The buy/sell logic of my indi is the basic one: buy when overbought at 90 lowertf and 80 highertf and price above sma220 on M15 and H1.
Sell inversed obviously.

As far as I see it is giving correct signals.

And... as FXDD starts to follow NFA on November 29th, no more hedging etc... a long and fruitful relation will end today.
I just opened an account with Alpari UK and will liquidate FXDD

'Tis the only way to make these NFA lunatics see sense.

Another suggestion is; leave $1,000 in the account and set the KG Range robot onto it. I am surprised to find that inability to hedge is not a disadvantage to this robot.

Be sure to leave out Jpy trigger. My $1000 a/c is in DD 54% on a weak basket taken out by KG on 23rd. inst.

I received this in an e-mail from FXDD:

FXDD’s back office does not recognize hedging. FXDD’s back office is a position based system and all opposing orders are offset immediately. Going forward the official FXDD account statements will show opposite positions being offset immediately. Please note: this change will not affect your trading style and will not affect your EA if you use one.

And from their support hot line, two days ago:
Thank you for your email. FXDD policy allows for offsetting of positions. You can open a buy and sell position for the same currency pair simultaneously.

So, it looks like hedging is allowed at FXDD, but it is a bit confusing.

I guess FXDD will allow hedge, but in official statement they will do something different to doesn't show this hedge positions. This is what I received from them:
