The Bollocks trading robot is looking good so far. Really like the Global closure.

Noticed that the default pairs has E/U twice.

Anybody tried the STP broker IamFX? No dealing desk here.

This is not a thread to discuss brokers. One exists on FF. However, in my experience a broker that uses MT4 without major modifications to bridge to an ECN is a dealing desk with all the ability to hunt stops, etc, no matter what they claim. MT4 was written by the Russians and is sold to retail dealers so that they can make money as a dealing desk. check out iamFX Custodian SUNSPOT CAPITAL CORP. The SEC has deregistered them. Also check the FF broker thread for some reality about MT4 and brokers. They are all bad dudes. But some are worse than others.

Sorry for the diversion Robert. I will discuss brokers no more.

I woke up this morning to some hugely profitable DB trades.

There was a bug in the code that stopped the robot from closing out a profitable basket at the target tp. The fix is in post 1; this download is essential.

The DB method is used manily for stocks and has been around for an age.

Basically if a stock is bullish and oversold then buy and if bearish and overbought then sell.

And for those that dont believe me then just google it, or not if you reside in China.

Scoobs.

It took some of us lot of chart-staring time to work this out. Hey ho.

Looking at the overnight demo trades, I see the Simple hedging worked a treat, so it looks like that robot is complete and just needs leaving on demo for a bit.

I have a lot of faith in the SE hedging. Pairs become OB/OS at the extremes of a swing; it matters not a hoot whether the swing is a trend continuation or a retrace. One way or another, the move will come to an end sometime. Partial hedging preserves the margin whilst we wait for the price to reverse.

There is still a problem with the DB bot, in that the Friday/Saturday close code will interfere with open trade management. This is not a major problem and I will fix it, but there is no need to worry about it just yet.

Amongst all this, the BOJ Original continues to do its thing quietly; another 1% this morning (Tokyo close).

Thanks for all the insights scoobs. You are a star.

I wanted a bit more info in the screen display, so the updated version is in post 1. The update is not essential, so feel free to wait for further updates. I do not anticipate any, but I often say that.

The latest version:

 

  1. Added a fix for the Friday/Saturday close thingy. It should now suspend fresh trades at your selected time but will continue to monitor open trades and close the basket at tp.
  2. Added the rsi readings for each pair to the screen display. The pairs display is only necessary whilst we determine that the robot is behaving as intended. This involves many function calls so:
  3. There is a new input in the odds and ends section right at the bottom of the inputs - ShowPairsInformation. Set this to false to stop the pairs screen display and cut down on the demands made on the processor.

I haven't added a TradeSundayCandle option to this bot. It seems to me that The Gap will work to our advantage, as it is likely to tip a pair into OB/OS, triggering a trade that will become profitable as the gap closes.

If there is enough demand, I can add the usual individual trade management features to the robot; this is only a matter of copy/pasting from any one of the others. We shall see.

200 pips on a 5 digit account is only 20 on a 4 digit, so perhaps this is too tight.

Try increasing the defaults. If the problem persists, then turn off all the hidden stuff to see what happens.

The DB sends multiple hedges with audjpy, while there are no audjpy open.


Also the RS Simple, is the profit pips, % or $ ? because I cant make it close the trade.

RS tp is pips.

I will look at the hedge thingy.

Had a look. The problem appears to be a result of my demanding the DoexTradeExist() function to tally up all the trades as well - this is what comes of coding under the influence.

I need to separate the functions. Fix coming soon.

I have added a fix to the DB robot; at least, I hope it is a fix. This is an essential download.

Earlier, I noticed that the Simple bot could attempt to send zero lot sizes under the wrong set of circumstances, especially tiny accounts. This is also fixed.

The robot sends the tp. Nothing I can do if the trade doesn't close once the tp is hit; that is nothing to do with the robot.
