Once the initial development has finished, threads like this one always quieten down as people test out more-or-less-finished versions of the robot's.

Basically, where we are now is:
Original is a goer.
24H isn't.

This is as expected. Contributors offering tweaks to what is going on might make a difference to these conclusions. We shall see.

Steve,

The 24H one is profitable if you use M15, H1 and H4 together with just 80/20 OB/OS rule and ignoring 200 SMA. No trades if MAJOR news affecting any of the XXXJPY pairs.

Thanks Scoob for the update.
80/20 for both Lower and Higher Tf ?
Where we can enable/disable the 200 SMA ?
Could you confirm that if we start the robot on GbpJpy M15, then H1 and H4 are watched automatically by the code?
May be that's could help if a new version can come with the proper parameters.

Thanks

I dont think on the 15m TF that it watches the H4, just the H1

The SMA can be turned off in the EA by setting it to FALSE

I suppose this is KISS true and simple. I hope you do not forget us when you are enjoying your Singapore Slings in the world famous Raffles hotel. I think I speak for everyone when I say you opened our eyes to a new dimension of trading vis-a-vis XXXJPY. And STEVE he is TURBO charged, his energy puts the rest of us to shame.

We are all batteling the CRIMINAL Brokers and your advice is DBFX. Do you know of any brokers that give us access to trade volume. It seems to me that only FXCM on their trader account give us this info, however, their minimum opening balance is $25K.

Thanks scoob
Are we sure we speak about the same bot (original) ?

We have SellHourStart and buyHourStart = "Trade between 23.00 GMT and 16.00 GMT." ???

OB & OS : we keep the parameters 90/80/10/20 ???

Thanks a lot

Yes, I was tweaking the rules for the 24H version.

Ha ha. You crack me up Steve. I wish I could come up with such inspiration just by having a bath! Have you got a mock smoking pipe that blows bubbles as well? Will have a read now.

Actually, it is the bath ducks that do the thinking. I understand their quacks.

For crying out loud, the markets have found a way to defeat me. Again.

Since the robot took out its first two baskets about a billion hours ago, the damned markets haven't moved. Even BOJ has been scared off.

Hey ho.

Re my last, BOJ intervened and took the sell basket nicely into tp, so the OP robot has taken out a new sell xxxJPY. It will be interesting to see where all this leads.

Also did a live Original basket. Nice.

OP Bot first Buy basket hit TP in 30mins. Like the logic of constant open buys + sells - I have set hedge to 50% for hopefully more protection on the DD basket .... only time will tell.
Thanks again Steve + Scoobs.

Using the strategy as suggested in the main post - Buy when OB - and - Sell when OS - should be done only between those hours. I got it. But outside those hours the indicator should be used to - sell when OB - and - buy when OS - right ? I'm asking cause I played like this for a few days and I was quite successful and I need to know if it was just luck..

Thanks
