Just wondering if someone that fully understands how scoob's methods are traded manually can write a manual so I can trade them manually, personally don't like robots.
You don't need a manual; they are the simplest methods in the world. Go to post 1 and find the description of each robot. Within each section is the link to the post where Scoobs first described the method.

There was a mistake in TCF V2 that stopped losing basket closing at a loss whatever the setting. Use this one for now, if anyone fancies a bit of testing.

Ignore the hedging stuff - that is under development.

EURCHF = EURUSD * USDCHF

So, the RSI condition only applies to EURCHF which is the trigger.

Scoobs

Also, no trades if a public/festive holiday affecting Europe (EUR) or America (USD).

Regarding:

Correlation between EURUSD and USDCHF must be negative.

What is the best way to determine this? Is there an indicator that you rely on to make this assessment on a tradebar by tradebar basis?

Thanks,

Is is difficult in MT4 but you should be able to find a correlation indicator on FF. I dont know what my trading floor uses or how it is calculated.

one more request Steve when you'll agree to add:

untill each trade is closed by rsi level 10/90, could you add an hidden trailing "banking 1/2 profit" starting when profit > 20pips.

i.e if we trade on wide timeframe, rsi of 10/90 could be not reached.

Have a great WE

Try this one.... question is, what Time Frame to determine the EURCHF correlation? Seems like M1 will give the most sensitive calc.... but up for discussion??

(trading entry is independent of this time frame, as it is per the given RSI values on the given two time frames....)

You can change the CloseBuy etc inputs - they are inputs so users can play with their own settings. Also, you can use mptm to manage the trades in the way you want, for now. If the bot turns out to have a future, I will add these management thingys; in the meantime, there are already a lot of inputs.

as i understand, we have to check the trend ( sma value (0) / sma value (1) ) and not follow a spike in the wrong trend. Maybe the linear regression included does the job but probably too late.
I am not sure what you mean here. Can you clarify this, please?

Cheers

I've decided to trade Scoob's Dog's Bollocks and TCF methods manually, I've attached a multi-time frame RSI indicator that will be useful if anyone else opts to trade manually.

In the image attached on EUR/CHF, two time frames (4hr and 1hr) are both showing that the market may be overbought as it has crossed above 70 (TCF method), so I'd enter a short here selling 0.1 lots. When both the 4hr and 1hr cross 80, 0.2 lots and when both the 4hr and 1hr cross 90, 0.3 lots.

If all three time frames were showing overbought (over 70) and if price was below 200sma on the 4hr chart I'd have entered using the Dog's Bollocks method.

My question is that you might get conflicting signals from both the Dog's Bollocks and TCF methods, so how how would you prioritize?

i think rsi must be set by 2 period...

Scooby, thanks for your contribution of this robot. I backtested the EA, and it agreed with your 2009 results, the account nearly doubled.

When I backtest the EA from 2005 on the daily EUR/USD, however, the robot loses 90% of the account.

My question, can we possibly add another indicator that suggests a good time to employ such a strategy? Something to filter out the fakeouts?

Thanks again.
