Thank you, Steve, for your continued excellence in developing these bots. It's really a treat to be see and use the resulting EAs that you and Scooby have devised and coded.
Cheers,
Ed

adj. daft·er, daft·est 1. Mad; crazy.
2. Foolish; stupid.
3. Scots Frolicsome.
[Middle English dafte, foolish, from Old English gedæfte, meek.]

A clever strategy.
When at or past the tp, the robot will close the trades once the RS reading is heading into opposite territory, to maximise the gains. It remains to be seen how successful this is. We shall see.
Great stuff. Seems to be working rather well so far.

Guys.
Since I still don't understand some things about the MT4 programming, my question is, whether a special indicator can be programmed for DB, one that looks like the dashboard with all the pairs listed and 4 lights, if all lights turn green or all lights turn red, then a trade is made.

I have started a new thread, guys, and would appreciate the creative input of the clever ones here.

Hi Steve
Perhaps your answer to a similar question about the OP bot also applies to the original one,
Sadly, there are a number of things that can cause a delay in the trades actually closing. It is even possible for the upl to hit tp but fall back by the time the robot notices.
These things are outside my control.

No, it doesn't. The Original bot attempts to close the open trades as soon as the upl reaches tp.

Hi Steve,
Some way back Scooby posted an idea which looked promising, basically increasing lot size the further into the OB/OS zone a trade went.
Did you consider it for the DB?
Here are some code snippets which show the idea
extern int RSI_TF1 = 15;
extern int RSI_TF2 = 60;
extern int RSI_TF3 = 240;
extern int RSI_TF4 = 1440;
extern int RSI_Level1 = 70;
extern int RSI_Level2 = 80;
extern int RSI_Level3 = 90;
extern int RSI_Level4 = 60;
double RSI_Lots1 = AccountFreeMargin() / 50000;
double RSI_Lots2 = AccountFreeMargin() / 25000;
double RSI_Lots3 = AccountFreeMargin() / 16666;
if(TradeDirection == short && RSI15 >= RSI_Level1 && RSI60 >= RSI_Level1 && RSI240 >= RSI_Level1 && RSI1440 >= RSI_Level4)
Sell RSI_Lots1
if(TradeDirection == short && RSI15 >= RSI_Level2 && RSI60 >= RSI_Level2 && RSI240 >= RSI_Level1 && RSI1440 >= RSI_Level4)
Sell RSI_Lots2
if(TradeDirection == short && RSI15 >= RSI_Level3 && RSI60 >= RSI_Level3 && RSI240 >= RSI_Level1 && RSI1440 >= RSI_Level4)
Sell RSI_Lots3
Just an idea as I see you have not been very busy lately -
