I'll take all 50 copies. I want to be the first on my block to separate myself from the boys.

Wait, nevermind, are you offering a bulk discount? And how much is shipping and handling?
Done. Bulk discount 20%. P&P free.

Too late the rest of you suckers. Next time I make this identical once-in-a-lifetime offer be quicker off the mark, leave the losers and join the winners.

Wow. The 24hr bot just took a trade about 10 minutes ago on my forex.com demo. That was a surprise.

Yeah, that's what people say about me...quick on the mark! But not quick on much anything else...

Did you manage to adjust the settings? I try to run it on FXCM but get error send messages, even though I have adjusted the pips, i. e. divided them by 10. Is anyone running it on a 4 digit broker?

Hi Steve,
Are the default settings in the AI EA for 5 digit criminals? Because have taken 2 trades so far but TP is only 10 pips (100 for 5 digit) and SL is 5 pips (50 for 5 digit) - seems a little shy ...?

Hi xicecube,
Am trying to run AI on 2 different 5 digit criminals. Go Markets took a long this morning but had no SL nor TP entered. FXCM still says Trading done for the day after 2 days.
Will have to try playing with settings I guess ...

EpsilonMegaStar is the Ultimate Trading Robot. It drills deep into the bedrock of the substrata that underlies all major Forex market movements, spotting the hyper-trends before even the professionals know they are starting. Watch your broker squeal for mercy as your robot ruthlessly exposes all the weaknesses in the positional fallacies offered by these amateurs. Join the Professionals then BEAT THE PROFESSIONALS and become rich, RICH, RICH within days. Make your bank manager come to you, not the other way around.

[b]EpsilonMegaStar...
Hmmm ...

Anyone else also noticed the subtle changes in Steve's postings lately?

I first noticed it right after a certain cartoon character mentioned he had an expensive sports car and a girl friend with exotic tastes in underwear ...

Could just be coincidence of course ....

I downloaded 2.1 last week & 2.2 yesterday, neither of them have traded at all. Someone else mentioned a problem with the date handling? This is taken from my set file for version 2.2. On the GUI for inputs the dates look correct but these are the values held when I save the inputs...

stu=-----Stop trading-----
StopTrading=0
st=Use format dd.mm.yyyy h:mm
NoTradeUntil=1259013600

and

new=----Next JPY Public Holiday----
newi=Use format dd.mm.yyyy h:mm
NextPublicHoliday=1293908400

What you see in your set file is not what you see in the inputs tab of your scripts and ea's.

Dates are stored as an integer representing the number of seconds that have elapsed since Jan 1st, 1970. EA's do the conversion of this integer into readable form automatically, and vice-versa when you make an alteration to the date.

Thanks for clarifying that Steve - would there be any other reason for the robots not to have traded at all?

At the risk of provoking your wrath I believe the time settings are correct, the VPS where the demo is running is in EST Zone so the inputs are 17 & 1 as the yanks are 5 hours behind us, unless I've mucked this up?

Cheers

why not just sync the vps time to your time if you're afraid of mucking up time conversions?

For 2.2, most likely is that different criminals = different feeds = different results.

Just to make sure, press the F3 key to bring up the Global Variables window. Highlight and delete any entries there, then close the window.

For the other two BOJ robots, the correlation broke down for a few days and so the robot was not allowed to trade. Even my OP bot only leaped into life this morning after several dormant days.

As of this morning, the Original BOJ EA has now made 4% profit for the week.
Excellent!

During this last few days I have coded the idea from Bluestrader (see post #4141 page 277) .
After backtesting the Ea is not winner globally, winner only after optimisation that is dangerous.
Cons: When we reach a certain level the number of lots is too high and we are stucked, or must accept the loss.
Pros : Unlike classical martinguales that hates trends, this one hates ranging markets. Classical martinguales hope that the price will come back in the range that is never sure and blow up acccount, this one hopes that the price will go out from the range, that is more likely to happen one day or another.
May be we could add a hedge, waiting for the pair to quit the range, play with time ect....
Anyway I think this idea have some potential, if someone is interested, I can post the code for further improvement.

i think if you implement a function to cancel out opposite orders, u'll find it more managable.

I think it's great this SELL basket closed in profit, but at 7:06 gmt shouldn't the robot been looking only for BUY trades?

I have the setting for BuyHourStarts for my local PC equivalent of 6:00 gmt in accordance with Scooby's PDF, so from 6:30gmt to 8:30gmt the robot should be looking for BUY trades.

Or at the risk of seeming like have not done my homework, has something changed in the strategy that I missed?
