Kang Gun Relative Strength trading - the EA's

I think there is something wrong with base lot calculation.
For me it calculates the same if i set 0.01 per 1500 or per 10000
If i set manual base lot then the calculated tp is 0.
thank you for help

Steve,
Attached is my chart on live a/c.
Baskets allowed=3 Baskets opened =4
Check it out.

I have added an extra MaxBaskets check just before the code that calls all the basket calculation functions.

Truth to tell, I can't see why the robot sent the extra basket; I think what I have done will do the trick.

Steve,
This chart is taken from The Collective fx Demo a/c. Check it out. Jpy and Eur strength is always 100 and 0.

Would you like to load the indi onto the chart and see what that says?

Hi Steve,

Now running KG v3.3 on demo and liking it a lot. I do have one small question.

I have StrengthInProfitClose enabled and find that if I raise the value of StrengthProfitCashTarget, my basket TP lowers.

I then have to alter TpMultiplicationFactor to compensate for the Basket TP change.

Is this correct?

Best regards,

Best regards,
It is probably coincidence that this happens. If you watch the tp, you will find it fluctuates slightly.

The calculation is BasketStrongTP = NormalizeDouble(BaseLot * TpMultiplicationFactor, 2); This calculation happens every tick as the robot calculates the BaseLot size which in turn depends on the free margin - do a search for void CalculateBaseLotSize() to read the entire code for the function.

This is not the most efficient way of doing things and has arisen from the ad-hoc development process. When development of this robot started, my understanding of how to write tight, re-usable code was distinctly hazy. It seems to be working ok apart from little foibles like the one you describe, so I am going to leave it for now.

I am loving the difference scoob's intervention here has made. 2 USD baskets closed this morning for +2.46% gain on the account. Lurvely.

I have the same problem - I loaded the indis on and it just says flat for both eur and jpy. I downloaded the latest zip file. Maybe something is missing in that zip file.

OK, thanks Steve, does indeed look like coincidence.

As soon as I have found the optimum basket TP & StrengthProfitCashTarget settings, I feel confident enough to go live with this bad boy.

Can't thank you enough for all the hours of blood sweat & tears - respect!

This is the first time I have posted to this thread and may I express my admiration and gratitude to Steve and those who have helped develop this awesome EA to this stage. I have also been following scoobie and AshFX - I really don't know where Steve finds the time.....??

I have now spent many hours pouring over the threads and trying to absorb as much as I can to understand how to adjust the settings of the EAs. Steve, in your pdf notes, you refer to "load the 'kg original basket set' " but I have been unable to locate that set file. I would love to look at those settings to compare my efforts to date. They are a bit like trying to set Rubics cube - you move one thing and as a result, many other things need attention! Are those settings the default settings in 3.3 as posted?

Your generosity is humbling - thank you.

I haven't updated the user guide for V3, so go with the defaults for now, until things are a little clearer.

Thanks Steve - will do. But slow down will you - have a sleep or something. As fast as I get from this thread to scooby-doo, there is an updated version already!!
I note scooby has passed on a warning about a likely tax increase in UK. It may be of interest that the Australian Govt is about to commit financial suicide by introducing an emission trading scheme which threatens to impose huge cost penalties on tax payers. I have no idea what effect this may have on the AUD but be aware of it in the next few days. Our PM (KRUDD) has illusions of grandeur and wants to grandstand at Copenhagen next month!!
Back to the charts!

I see two of the baskets are in the same group; I seem to recall this was the case the last time you posted about this problem. I will look into it.

The 'weak Jpy' basket finished off my whole a/c overnight. My 4th. a/c blown to bits.
I don't know when I'll be able to start again. Thanks anyway Steve. Will try to do something with $100 left in the a/c.

Bad luck. Lots of sympathy. I too have blown four accounts.

Trading this robot, my $702 account started with a deposit of $220. I have a stuck JPY basket at about 7% of balance into dd, but nowhere near even beginning to be threatening. Just a matter of timing, I suppose.

Hang on in there and keep trying with small amounts of cash - 'tis what I do. I am sure we will get there in the end.

I wonder if someone can offer assistance. I am trying to run more than one EA on the same screen - different charts with different EAs. I am only in demo at this stage. Each of 3 charts is reduced to 1/3 of the screen space. The only problem is that none of the EAs has seen action since I did this. I have tried to research this on FF and Google without success. Perhaps the alternative would be to open 3 demo accounts and trade each EA in a separate account.
Sorry if this question is not thread specific but one of the EAs I want to run is this one - KG Relative Strength.

I just open a new demo account for each robot I want to use and run multiple copies of MT4. That way you are 100% sure about what is happening.

Thanks Macman - I guess that is the best way to go unless someone else has a brilliant alternate solution.
