Ignore them? I have spend bloody hours accommodating them. Just because people here and in other threads have been stupid enough to con bloody-stupid me into coding for them.

No wonder ea coders finally get pissed off with traders and wander off to do their own thing.

Scoobs, I begin to get an insight into how you felt when the legions of the moronic were asking so many stupid questions in the early stages of this thread.

Why the bloody hell should I bother when all people are prepared to do is waste my time?

Yep. I feel more than just a little...
Steve,

Keep the faith. You are doing a fantastic job. I get asked about ECN's all the time and I dont bother responding. As you state, they ask for 2 stage orders so that things will go wrong and have a get out of jail card if a retail traders stops dont get actioned etc. I should have warned you about this but I thought everyone knew they are just rip off merchants.

Several of them were fined last year by the FSA and there are some more cases pending.

Electronic Criminal Nazi's

Scoobs.

Steve,

I'm seeing some odd behavior on the Original bot.

1. The on-screen information is flashing between "trading suspended because of publc holiday" and the normal full set of data/information one sees when the bot is ready to trade.

2. Also, the on-screen information for the Strength index is 0.0. (I recalled reading about this issue on the thread, searched for it and found a fix...tried the fix, but it did not change the Index readout on the screen.)

3. Oh, and while I have been writing this, now that the time has passed 0:30GMT, the Original bot on-screen information says "outside trading hours."

For the 24hour bot, it took a trade during the holiday, even though the holiday was entered into the settings.

You mean that ECN is an individual broker?

I assumed this bloody stupid two-stage thingy was something generic to a particular breed of broker.

I have been going through hoops just to suit dipsticks using one particular criminal? Dipsticks too dim to see the dangers of the two-stage process?

Now I am really cross. Any idea how much time I have wasted on this bloody broker? To no conceivable value to myself?

Never again. My next response to some idiot asking for ecn support will be an instant ban from whichever therad I have started....
Sorry Steve, I didn't want to cause you to get upset? I got an email earlier today about a new broker fromt mt4stats I used to use. I at first thought it was a ecn, and that is why I asked about the code. Sorry to cause you any extra work.

Dear Steve

I think I speak for everyone who visits your threads when I say we do admire your work, endless energy and zest. We are grateful for your valuable creations and do hope to be able to contribute something in return (if we are capable).

Your threads are like your home and we are guests in your home. Unfortunately things like silly and idiotic postings are part and parcel of the forums. I dare say most of us have been guilty of it at some point or other.

Speaking for myself, I find these forums a refreshing reminder of goodness of people. Here one finds people like you, scooby, cobra, nanningbob, swingman to name a few, offering sound advice guidance and various tools and systems to help all comers WITHOUT asking for anything in return. What other place can you find such acts of selfless giving and sharing? I do hope that you do not give up on us and tolerate some of our idiotic behaviour.

sincerely yours,

er i dunno where u got that anger, or for that matter, your assumptions, but just to clear up:

ECNS are not an individual broker. They are a TYPE of broker.

And while conspiracy theories are always readily accepted(esp online), I've come to respect you and scoobs as rational, thinking adults. ECNs are operate in a different way from your traditional bucket shop broker at a fundamental level. For a long while, mt4, was unable to support ECN-type feeds because it was built with the original brokers in mind. The two stage process is not a deliberate attempt to force you to enter a position with no stoploss. That benefits no one. It's simply a workaround to allow those with ECN to use MT4.

Brokers earn more when you enter and exit trades rapidly. They don't make money by margin calling you.

Its the KG Relative strength Original and Range trading EA, Trading the range trading setting. I recommend demo trading a long time as you'll see periods of long drawdown, it's part of the bots nature.

TP=100 pips and I'd limit the number of max baskets to 3 or 4 max.

Have a play but keep the lotsizes low. You have to be able to withstand many thousands of pips drawdown at times.

Have fun

Steve, ECNs are as you put it "particular breed of brokers". And nope you dint go through hoops just for one particular broker. Examples of ECN include MB Trading, Dukascopy, Interactive Brokers etc. With minimum capital requirement being on the higher side with an additional commission on the every trade made (other than the already present "low spread" ) , not many people prefer them. So,I think it wud be safer to not include those criminals.

Cheers vicky. It is astonishing that people want anything to do with these criminals.

Steve,

In case my post got lost in the talk about ECN criminals, please take a look at the post below and respond:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=4406

Also, as I recall right after the December JPY holiday, the Original robot asked for the next Holiday to be input before it would continue trading. That did not happen this time.

Regards,

JR

Hello Steve...
I wonder if it really is needed to have ecn on? I just checked and a buy stop and sell stop has been open without the ecn checked? I wonder if the broker is ecn? It said it was a stp broker? I just read the meaning of stp, so I guess it is not an ecn? Not too sure what type of broker it is now
Thanks again for the updated ea.
Vince

Hi Vince

STP means Straight Through Processing
As far i understand only ECN brokers provide STP.
