Hi Scoob, could you tell me if this settings are correct according to your quote (24h v3.4) :


extern string GVI="-----General trade inputs-----";
extern string PairsToTrade="GBPJPY,EURJPY";
extern bool SendAlertNotTrade =false;
extern bool TradeLong =true;
extern bool TradeShort =true;
extern double BaseLot = 2; // for 200k account with other ea running
extern bool RobotCalculatesLotSize =False;
extern int TpMultiplicationFactor =300;
extern double BasketStopLossPercentage=20;
extern int EmergencyStopLoss =6000;
extern int EmergencyTakeProfit...
Yes but you are only looking at 2 different timeframes. Ideally, you should be looking at M15, H1 and H4.

Scoobs.

PS. So far this week there have been 4 trade setups netting 4.96% using 80/20 in all 3 TF's with a DD of 0.52%.

OK Thanks a lot Scoob, but how I look to another Timeframe ? If I watch at the code, I do that with running this EA to M30. But in this case it's another instance of the EA. There is something I do not understand wery well. Could you clarify ?

Cheers

According to Scoob & Steve it's the "original", but personnally I run it only from 4 weeks and do have enough trades to be sure.

There are no EA's here which currently look at all 3 time-frames.

I have my own EA which I built for testing purposes for November, December and January.

As I have stated previously IF it shows long term potential then I will post it here for people to use. However, it will have very few user parameters and will be protected by MQL Defender and .DLL wrapping to stop people changing settings and/or selling it. IF people don't like that idea then they don't have to use it.

Don't mean that too sound harsh but i don't believe in 100's of user changeable settings which just lead to problems. If it ain't broke then don't fix or change it.

Scoobs.

So, you mean I can start using the Original one and leave 24hr version aside.

Steve,
can you please reply with your opinion.

Haven't been following this thread for a while since I have been following the other one on the shag all one. I see there is a new ea here the opposite one, and I did try and read all I could to make sure I didn't post something that has already been posted. To begin with thanks on the new ea Steve. I am a little confused, what is new though with this Note there are none of the usual filters - news, max spread etc....
I do see that trade news filter is one of the options and it is turned on. Do we leave it turned on or do we turn it off?
I have the ea on IBFX with adjustments to parameters to fit 4 digit broker.
Thanks!
Vince

The OPPOSITE version trades well. Basket in profit are closed, then another basket is opened. Loosing basket is still in floating. So the Balance is increasing, but the Equity doesn't, almost flat. Have to wait to check if this strategy is a winning one....

Hedging in the OP was not correct - I forgot to update it to accommodate managing two baskets simultaneously.

The updated version is in post 1. I am far from certain that the coding is correct yet, so expect bugs.

Steve, I had a problem with the new opposite EA on Alpari UK.
I wasn't watching it 'live' so can't confirm exactly what happened, but it looks like it just kicked in just before 9.30am and just opened loads of positions at the same time and still now it is trying to open new positions but doesn't have enough balance.
See attachment. Any ideas?

Amidst all the other stuff going on here. everyone remember the genesis of this thread - scoob's and his description of BOJ's daily intervention.

On demo a few minutes ago, it was clear that the Original robot had missed the boat, so I took the trades manually - they hit tp within minutes.

The Original robot remains the one most likely to succeed long-term, because the strategy it trades is well-established.

Here's the same history with comments. (Sorry, I lost part of the column when copying & pasting. And I've gone and deleted the account now. Hope this gives you enough info.)

Since IBFX went to daily hedging, is it possible to run the opposite ea to its full potential using IBFX, or does one need to run it on a true hedging broker such as Alpari- UK?
Thanks

No help at all but not your fault. No idea what that little lot was about. Sorry. I do not understand the comments column. I shall have to wait until this problem recurs.

True hedging, Vince. Give it a few seconds thought.
