4- i dragged reconnecteA to another chard
5- i dragged EA scooby_doo_BOJ_basket robot original v1,9 to GBPJPY M15 chart and turn EA´s on and the smiley face apears.
6- i go EA propretis on chart and where is "EURJPY,GBPJPY" i put "EURJPY,GBPJPY,AUDJPY,CHFJPY,USDJPY" and in magic number i put "6543210"

I am new to this system. This morning, in the UK, had V1.9 running ready for the morning session.

No trade opened. Inspecting the terminal's experts tab I can see where FFCal_Scoobs was getting the event info. After that, I can see where the EA made an attempt to trade but failed because: Order send failed with error (130):invalid stops: Lots=0.5

The platform is ODL's MT4 demo (5 digits).

Has anyone seen anything similar with V1.9? (I'll be trying with V2 tonight.)

Thanks for sharing your results for the last few days. Very nice performance. However, how did the EA perform during November and the 1st week of December?

Crashed and burned due to 2 overnight CB interventions.

However, the previous version was only looking at 15M and 1H TF's for OB and OS thresholds.

This new version now looks at 15M, 1H and 4H before considering trade setups.

It occurred to me to create a 'trading zone' for the OP robot. The new version is in post 1; read about it in the 'what the robot is supposed to do' section.

Thanks for the update Steve.
Do you think we should replace the older version, on add this version like a new Ea (because new strategy) ?
could you please manage the versions (1.1 1.2) since it's a little difficult to follow the updates if we miss one or two days...

Streve, it will be also nice if you could change the GV names (different GV names) if we want run all the EA's in the same demo account.
Also in order to be able to run all the EA's in the same account, loss calculation should done with adding && OrderMagicNumber=MagicNumber().
I know it's a work to do, but only 1 time, later it will be nice for everybody.
Thanks

I don't understand you. The code always has been as you ask.

Hello all I have a question about the Opposite ea. I may not be understanding a parameter. It says Long Basket take profit target =$2.80 and Short Basket take profit target = $2.80. It also shows Basket short trades open:11: UPL=166.05. Shouldn't the short trade be closed by the ea since it was looking for profit of $2.80?

I also have a gbpjpy hedge still open without an original sell or buy trade.

Have a nice day!
Vince

I mean, for example, 24H version uses "OverBoughtGV", also original version uses the same variable "OverBoughtGV". So I renamed it "OverBoughtGV-O". I think this can confuse the EA.

For magicnumber you are right, I didn't opened my eyes enought, because I use to code like this :
if (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber {
 for (int cc = OrdersTotal() - 1; cc >= 0; cc--)

Finally I Load the new version of OPPOSITE EA and start it like a new EA, with it's own magic number etc... in order to compare with the previous version since the logic in quite different. It will be interesting to compare the results, I will post them.

I see what you are getting at, but it is not necessary. OverboughtGv etc are literals that contain the string that is their definition.

Therefore the original version's OverboughtGV contains "scooby-doo overbought original". The 24H version contains "scooby-doo overbought 24H". These are different gv's, so the robots will not become confused.

Are you up to date with the latest version? Older versions have a number of bugs that could have resulted in trades being sent that could confuse it. You might have to restart the demo to make any sense of the position.

Sobby, Steve, et al,
I'm attaching 2 GJ charts , same TF same MA. See how they show different values. It is same broker and same platform.
I'll be obliged if someone can give me a rational explanation.

The bug-fixed version is in post 1; this is an essential re-download.

I have also added code to keep a successful basket going for a bit longer, using the RS value. There is a note about this in post 1.

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


extern string...
I don't think scoob is using hedging in his bot. Just put the 24hr bot on the 1 hr using scoob's settings and alerts only. When you get an alert, just wait untill the 15m lines's up and do a manual trade.
