Probably none but it depends if people are using PRICE_CLOSE in their calculations for placing trades.

Dont forget that MT4 RSI repaints.

Hey Steve, I'm demoing the DG and have this message:

"Dog's Bollocks CADJPYm 0 order send failed with error(136): off quotes Market=88.232: Entry=88.232: TP=88.732: Sl=0 Lots=1.03"

The ea's been running smoothly but this message's been appearing repeatedly for the last 15 minutes again and again.

Thanks for your great work!

No idea what 'off quotes' are. Sorry.

The broker has not supplied with prices or refused, for any reason (for example, no prices at the session start, unconfirmed prices, fast market). After 5-second (or more) delay, it is necessary to refresh data using the RefreshRates function and make a retry.

Sounds like one of your libraries has become corrupted. Try reinstalling the platform.

Even better, if you know how, close the platform, copy the attached working version of stdlib into your libraries folder, then restart the platform.

Have been running the current version of TCF and seeing very encouraging results. This one looks really good, Steve!

I'm running two demos, one on IBFX, the other on Activtrades, but the IBFX demo seems to be highly inaccurate when estimating a 240 minute RSI. I understant it repaints, but this seems to cause the wrong trades on my IBFX EA's. Has anyone else experienced this recently? - Steve

There is a new toy for you guys to play with, or an updated version of a current toy.

Scoobs TCF V1: will not close a basket until it is in profit. Will allow both buy and sell baskets to be open at the same time. Not suitable for criminals that do not allow unrestricted hedging.

Currently kicking some serious butt in a backtest using mt4's strategy tester.

Try it and see. It is going straight on my forward demo.

I am still confused why this bot uses no MTF. Is this intentional ?

With the AI trading robot, I have applied it to the EURUSD and USDCHF charts and on both charts It says:

'Cannot set OP_SELLSTOP'
'The price is not satisfied to the market entry condition'

Ive changed the variables and got the same problem. Anyone else getting this or know how to fix it?

>>> Sorry I forgot the indic...


Hi all
Long time I didn't post on this thread.
I have coded a robot based on Scoob idea (3TF Rsi)
It is more complicated since I use Martinguale (geometric progression = increment), I called this a cycle. I use 3 cycle C0, C1 and C2 that work on 3 TF. I also use hedge on trades.
this robot work well on Backtesting (2006 till now) on most pairs, except sometimes it blow up the account (very seldom) but I have still to fix this problem.
Please fell free to try this bot on Backtesting( defaut parameters,...

Does the indy need to be on the chart?
Pair(s)?
TF
Or just default settings?

Thanks.

no problem.

PS. You just need to set the PERIOD to 2 or whatever you want.
Scoob,

with reference to the pdf file in the zip, it refers to 3 brokers and seems that the bias is on the third broker being a honest STP and no dealing desk. What's your opinion on that base on your knowledge and experience?

Thanks.

P.S. Your reply will not be treated as an recommendation but just an expression of view.

Steve,

I noticed that the default for LotDivisor is 50000 in the TCF EA. I can't find an explanation for this anywhere on site. Is this the starting amount of our account and should it be set accordingly so the lot sizes adjust automatically if this function is set to true, or is this something totally unrelated? Thanks for your time. I really like this EA so far...great work as always!

hi Steve

Testing this bot for the last 24h: Dog's Bollocks

- only take 1 trade: euraud
buy 2010-01-20 18:41 at 1,5512 (i'm gmt +1)

- at that time sma 200 on h4 was around 1,5930

So i'm very surprised about that "buy" ticket.
Seem that the sma level is not included into trade decision.

I wonder why you have not included this sma200 h4 filtering into TCF, it's more secure.
If you have time, please glance at that in both, thanks again.

When I get back from my 4 day trip to LV I will give you a strategy which can only be used by a non dealing desk broker with total devastation.

You could run it with a dealing desk broker but they will requote/offquote you galore so you cant open/close all 3 trades at once.

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/lenovos10e/hedge/14586

The TP is totally variable based on what the market is currently doing. Some of the system has already been eluded too by Steve here. The key is not running it during some specific scheduled economic news. You can run it on any TF but obviously the higher the more profit but longer close times. It uses no SL as such but relies on the fact that one of the pairs stops the other 2 from going into serious DD. It also relies on the fact that 2 out of 3 trades will be profitable.

If you plan to run it on a live account then you will need some type of backup ISP connection. i.e. Mobile Broadband etc.

Scoobs.

PS. If I get time in between my trip then I will send the strategy to Steve to code or modify one of his existing Robots.
