scooby-doo BOJ JPY pairs trading robot

Scoob,

I installed the scooby doo basket robot original v2.2 EA to GJ 15M. The only setting I changed were the time to my local time. The others are default. Plus, I allowed DLL, which kept on popping out asking for TimeZone (a bit annoying). Is this normal behavior?. Now that the EA started making trades (sell orders), hedging windows kept poping out. What should I do?

Hi Steve,

Just a suggestion, is it possible to add a "sleep" function to the RS Crosspairs robot? It seems to work really well other than periods (as happened today) when the price spikes violently one way or the other.

Prior to today I had a week, on demo, where the bot went 31 and 4 for a total profit of 420 pips but today it completely collapsed. I had the settings set at 75/25, TP 20 and SL 40.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

I used the standard MACD settings of 12,26,9 with Signal alert on.

DO NOT USE IT ON M1 .

There will be bugs, so sing out when they occur.

Except for the subwindow error. Take my warning about it seriously. I mean what I say.

Let's see if this one has legs.

Hey Steve,

Started testing the new bot. It takes up the TF of the chart the EA is posted on right ?

A question though, do you think the bot might get better entries if it were to check for OB/OS levels across multiple time frames ?

Hi,

similar here. For me the best EA's seem to be the original robot, which quietly ticks along and keeps making profits, but also the TCF robot: it doesn't trade very often, but when it does, it can create huge profits.

Scoobs, coming back to the retail trader disadvantages, is there another one in terms of the trader chatter that we miss because we're not on the trading floor, and if so, is there any forum or other means that you know of that would give us access to a similar source of information?

There are hundreds of RSI divergence indicators on FF which do it automatically if you do a simple SEARCH.

How are people getting on with the Scooby EA ?
These were all trades for yesterday, Scoob? I let it run on my demoaccount since yesterday morning but didnīt get any trades (but no surprise if your statement is for the whole day).
Did you see the the suggestions of some users:

"For the Ea I am currently developping I used something like (on M15) ; Buy if:
if(Close[0]>SMA_H4 && SMA_M15>SMA_H1 && Rsi (4)M15<30 && rsi_(8)_H1<30 && rsi_(8)_H4<30)//Oversold in UpTrend => BUY the first trade
that's give nice results with scaling in, that means this is for the first trade, and reentry if :
SMA_M15>SMA_H1 && Rsi (4) M15<30
Like I said before, rather rsi levels 30/70, I use Bollinger Bands applied to the Rsi that brings the advantage to control the volatility, trigger is when the Rsi go outside the BB (or better, when the Rsi previous bar was outside BB and come back inside bands).

- Using 20/80 as RSI threshold areas is better than 30/70

- Using RSI(5) is MUCH better than RSI(2). In fact, you might want to look into staggering the RSI period for the 3 timeframes: M15 use RSI(5), H1 use RSI(4), H4 use RSI(3).

- I think you still need a "trigger" to enter the trade. For example, just because the RSI levels are above the 80 threshold (and below H4 SMA), does not necessarily mean the pair is ready to move downward. In this situation once the trade criteria is met, I find moving to M5 and getting a true SHORT signal (you can use your favorite indicator, etc) is a good trigger to enter the trade. This trigger should be easy for you to automate.

- High impact news filter is a good idea. So would be a holiday filter.

- feature for changing the lotsize or risk"

Maybe some ideas for developing the Scooby. Thank you for your efforts and sharing your stuff!
Best regards!

Yes the Original is a temendous BoJ-butt-kicking bot!!! after the wipe out basket, 6 profitables baskets (4 manuals) and could have been more if errors 2 and didn't showed up. What a night!!!

Scoobs, Steve et all, too mny to write down, thanks again for everything here.

Looking forward to more pips and coming live to a criminal near you



BTW, Fredella, if possible, please share your settings for TCF, still cannot make it tick.

Hi, I started TCF (in demo for the moment) on GBPUSD and EURUSD on 1H charts. Over a week, it has roughly done one trade per day (sometimes a GU, sometimes an EU), and have had no losses. I haven't even had to include the fix for the RL and also no time limit.

I've been running the Scooby EA for about 2 days now, with still no trades, I guess it's been selective.

Scooby with the changes to the entry rules have you changed the closing rules also, I'm guessing something like;

if(MTF < 30) TradeClose(pairs[c],OP_SELL);
if(MTF > 70) TradeClose(pairs[c],OP_BUY);

With MTF = 1H
