USDNOK. 90M. Don't try to trade any other pair on any other tf - they are all lethal combinations unless traded with precision with this pair on this tf.

My friend, read 1st. post. This is Daily TF EA. About why it is hanging I do not know. Load it again and restart your platform. And it works on any pair.

You need to sign up with a broker that offers 90m platforms. This system does not work otherwise. Most of us needed a specialist introduction to be accepted by these brokers. You might need to offer Proof Of Intent as the rest of us did. This is not easy to do.

Good luck in your endeavours.

Ahh, sorry. Misunderstood. BTWHNY is the second pair this robot trades - fancy me forgetting that. Hey ho. Can't remember everything.

Guess what my New Year's Resolution is? Shouldn't be too hard to maintain.

Ha. It wasn't so difficult. All I had to do was infiltrate your organisation, torture the boss for the info, fake the ID and kidnap the Introducing Trader so he couldn't let on what I was doing, and the rest was easy.

Bit of a doddle, really. Mwahhaaa haaa haaa haaa.

Hehe. Just remembered.

The last time I tried an " Mwahhaaa haaa haaa haaa.", the 10 year old piano pupil I was teaching looked at me calmly and replied, "Steve, that laugh needs working on."

Hey ho.

Hi Steve,

Am running on 4H TF on multiple pairs, but have found that some pairs seem to 'forget' the S/R recognition lines. Am I maybe doing something wrong?

All pairs set up identically using same template. Lines drawn are the correct colour. Line recognition in the EA set to 'false' then back to 'true' makes no difference - platform restart makes no difference - no terminal error messages.

Any ideas?

Only thing I can see common to the pairs where S/R is not working is there is no resistance line set - ie price is not between two S/R lines.

Does the EA maybe need to have both an upper & a lower line set to be able to work?

Have looked at the code, but can't tell - my coding skills are rubbish!

It doesn't matter how good a coder you are, other peoples' code is always hard to read.

Traders can enter lines in any order they choose. The robot has to read them, then rank them in ascending order, so it know where the next resistance and the previous supports are. Therefore, you need at least two lines in place.

Thanks Steve,

Got it now. I had been deleting old S/R lines which is what caused the problem.
As usual - operator error - dooh

Guys, forgive me my ignorant question but I can assure you I really tried hard figuring it out myself (that includes reading all posts as well as the manual: What does the number in "currency unit" under the money management section indicate? I thought I divide it by 10 to suit my 4-digit broker but I get an error message about "not enough money". If I multiply it by 10, i. e. put in 5000, the robot does buy another 0.1 lots but I am wondering whether there should be a particular ration between the lot size and this number so that the robot, for example, buys half or double the lot size.

Thanks, really appreciate your input for this awesome piece of work you guys and Steve came up with!

A currency unit is whatever you want it to be. If you set RobotCalulatesLotSize to true, the robot will divide your account balance by CurrencyUnit, then multiply the result by LotsPerCurrencyUnit.

Suppose your balance is $1,000 and your CurrencyUnit is 500 and your LotsPerCurrencyUnit is 0.2. The calculation would be:
(1000 / 500) x 0.2 = 0.04 lots. If this is too small, the robot automatically adjusts to the minimum your broker will accept.

Hi Steve,

Am using Ash on the 4H TF, with encouraging results.

I have added the Recent SR indi from here http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=204276 to handle producing weekly S/R areas. As you can see from the attachment this indi draws rectangles. At the moment I am manually drawing a line on top of each rectangle, so that Ash can use the lines.

Problem is sometimes the rectangles are removed for instance overnight, leaving an incorrect line, as the lines are (re)moved manually. This can cause missed trades.

Is it hard to change the EA code to use coloured rectangles instead of coloured lines? Is this is possible, then the EA would have automatic S/R recognition.

Cheers
