It is very hard to read someone else's code.

Hello Steve and thanks for the update. Just got home here from court and will load the new one with the fix in it. Yes, I always make sure I have the latest robot running but sometimes it is hard to keep up with you.asa You are a great coder and appreciate all the hard work.
Dad just passed away last month, and now I am under a lot of stress having to change everything. Might loss the house since haven't been working for eight years taking care of my parents. I was hoping to find an ea to help me generate some extra $ until I can find another job. At 55 is going to be hard.
Sorry for the extra dribble, just feel you all are like my extended family

Hello Steve and thanks for the update....
Sorry about your dad. Sorry about the housing problems. Life can be utter crap, sometimes.

Thanks Steve. I did put the new ea on, but maybe I am too tired to notice any difference yet? Shouldn't the basket short trade be closed?

Yep. Time for manual intervention before those profits vanish.

Hi Steve.
My V.2.0 Original placed a buy basket tonight when the rs group JPY strength was above 90 for both 15M and 1 hr. I thought this was correct but the trade is showing - 378 at the moment. Is this correct??

I have add EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY in pairs to trade in OPPOSITE version and the lots are 100 times to big for nonJPY pairs, correct for xxxJPY pairs (RobotCalculateLotSize=False, BaseLot=0.5 >>> lots are around 0.5 or 0.8 for xxxJPY pairs, 50 or more for other pairs)

Yes because the Yen is still overbought and remaining strong.

I had forgotten that non JPY pairs need the lot size dividing by 100 to give an accurate reading, when differential lot sizes are calculated a la KG Range.

Try the fix in post 1 and sing out if the lot sizes are still not correct. Also, please sing out if they are correct, because I simply can't test everything I am coding.

Tonight threw up a bug in the hedging coding for the OP robot. Fix is in post 1 as usual.

Will get there, eventually.

Ok guys. Tonight in the good ole UK has been far more hectic for me than most of you can understand.

Ever since I made the stupid mistake of opening up the OP robot to any basket the user cares to name, I have been catching up with bugs created by this action. Updates have been far more frequent than most readers will have spotted.

I think everything is in order. We shall see. I can say this for sure: if you downloaded the OP robot before reading this, then you surely need the updated version in post 1.

Hi Steve,

I just downloaded the new version of the OPPOSITE version.
Unfortunately it doesn't trade. The Ea running correctly, no bad messages in the expert tab.
Could you manage a version number for this bot ?

Thanks,

OK, it trades now.
But the problem remains. lots are 100 times bigger for non jpy pairs.
Yesterday, I use to add some code for divide the lot by 100 exactly at the place than you did in the code and I got the same failure. I don't understand why. Unfortunately I think I have not too much time today to investigate.

2 things should be modified (but that's not solve our Lot problem):

-1-
if (dig == 2 || dig == 4)
EmergencyStopLoss/= 10;.......
-2-
In double GetRSIbasket(int timefram, int pos) should add the others pairs? (non JPY pairs)

Something still doesn't look right to me on the opposite ea?
Looks like the same is happening that I asked about in a earlier post?
In the picture attached it says Long Basket take profit target is $5.00
I have Basket Long trades open 7: UPL= 44.07. Wouldn't the ea close the 7 long trades since the Long Basket take profit target is $5.00?

Hi Scooby

Question about your 24H EA version that checks 3TF for signals:

I noticed in your statement that you have CADJPY, NZDJPY etc, but in the original Scooby EA as developed by Steve we now just have EURJPY and GBPJPY. Is there any logic to you having the full number of JPY pairs in your onw 24H robot, or are you just doing this for testing purposes (along the lines of, "If it can survive trading NZDJPY et al, then it is going to be fine.")?

(I thought only traders -or robots- with a lot of spare diapers to hand would be trading NZDJPY?)

Cheers

Sorry for the double posting, there was another thing I couldn't understand. In the attached picture you have below News filter off
Hedging is enabled at 5% (-463.30) Percentage to hedge=10
Then towards the bottom after Basket Short trades open 9
You have Hedging is enabled at -232.65 percent to hedge =10
Is one entry for the short and one for the long basket?
