Matt has just pointed out in a pm that there are a couple of lines missing from the BOJ Original 2.2 bot. These missing lines prevent the robot from taking any pre-Tokyo open wave 2 trades, once it has taken them for the first time.

There is a fix for this in post 1.

Hi Steve,

Just a couple of items.

1) Did you get my email with time indy attached ?

2) Current AI EA has a problem - when I place on a demo that has TCF V1 running as well, the stop orders that AI places have TCF comments in them. I'm guessing it's some overlap with global variables. Magic numbers are different. Also I saw that it placed 2 same direction stop orders of same pair, when I thought it should be 1 in each direction for each pair. (see attachment)

3) Can you possibly give the AI EA the standard sauce for Money management. We only have 1 digit for percent of free deposit.

Thanks and keep up the awesome efforts on the mega thread.

Nick

Hi Steve,

1) Did you get my email with time indy attached ?
Yes I did, thanks. The only reason I haven't put it up here is that I then have to explain why I have put it up and what it does, and I can't be bothered.

Not even a hint of an idea how this happened. That it is caused by running two ea's on the same account is my only speculation, but speculation is all it is. If one ea has already grabbed the platform's thread, I suppose it is possible for a second to interfere, but I do not actually know.

No idea why. It isn't my ea. All I did was add ECN criminal support to it.

The enter a 2 digit number. It is an input, after all.

DB is also on this same account. 7 open trades, 7 open hedges, so it will be interesting to see where that little lot goes.
Just an FYI, the DB blew my demo account earlier this week. Wasn't un-expected.

Cheers Steve. Love the User Guide as well. Brilliant. You put so much time and effort into all this. It really is appreciated.

By the way, what are those TMT Ea's you've got going on there? Look interesting.....

Nope. If they were, I would have nothing to do with them.

Not me - keep hitting a sl that wipes out a few days profit. Are you using the default TP SL setting on yours?

Be careful if you are using a system that sells @ RSI 70 and closes @ RSI 30.

Spikes will cause it too fail especially on any of the XXXJPY pairs.

Different brokers give totally different results. You cannot even compare results from the same broker unless you are on the same server

I have demo Alpari UK at home and office. Alpari demo at home using the BOJ basket Original is making money but not the one in my office. The settings are identical. What is chance that that I am on two different servers?

ps. my hats off to Scoobs, Steve, and rest of the ff gang. thanks a million for sharing your knowledge and experience.

TMT?

Steve, see attached image from your Original BOJ User Guide. I noticed the TMT ea's on the screenshot, listed in your MT4 Expert Advisors folder. I'm guessing it's your trade manager.
I have an observant and inquisitive mind. (or you could say I'm a nosey b*****d )
I was only being flippant, so just ignore it.

I'm running Dog's Bullocks to only trade if swap is positive.
No hedging allowed, no SL. Will report back in some time on this one.

Scoobs.
Scoob, very agree with you.
I have writed an EA based on RSI, buying on the bottom when the trend is up, and vice versa.
I found that RSI is a good indicator for most of the time but a concern when the volatility increase too much.
I reread the book "Bollinger Bands" from John Bollinger I find an idea that seems promising : apply BB to the RSI. So the trigger is not fixed levels like 70/30 but the upper and lower bands of the RSI.
I have coded this indicator, I joint here below.
In the Ea replace if (rsi<30) with the following :
if (RsiBB_rsi_prev<=RsiBB_LowBand_prev && RsiBB_rsi>RsiBB_LowBand)
with for exemple on TF 15
RsiBB_rsi =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,0,0);
RsiBB_UpBand =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,1,0);
RsiBB_LowBand =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,3,0);
RsiBB_rsi_prev =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,0,1);
RsiBB_UpBand_prev =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,1,1);
RsiBB_LowBand_prev =iCustom(Symbol(),PERIOD_M15, "Rsi_BB",8,20,2,2,3,1);
That works well for my Ea that is a bit "TCF like" but I add some stuff like trend following, pyramiding, hedge, MTF etc... I still have some work on it, when the results will be better I will post it.
Thanks again to Scoob and Steve for their outstanding work.
Scoob, what about your 3TF EA that was on test for Nov,Dec and Juanuary? And the R8 (may be you didn't bought it finally since you moved?)
