Attached is the latest version together with statement.

I dont really want to get into being responsible for supporting this, I dont have the time. I am a commercial trader and not a coder.

It just gives you a starting block.

Also, I have hard coded some things like GMT stop hour and max open orders.

Scoobs.

PS. Unless you know what you are doing then running automated EA's on Friday afternoons GMT is bad news, so be careful.

How are people getting on with the Scooby EA ?

I made some changes.

if SMA-20-H1 > SMA-200-H1 and RSI-3-M15 < 20 and RSI-3-H01 < 20 Go Long

if SMA-20-H1 < SMA-200-H1 and RSI-3-M15 > 80 and RSI-3-H01 > 80 Go Short

Have been trying to get it run for two days. Am testing on Alpari like you do and, since there no settings to speak of, I am at a loss of why this one doesn't even attempt to run (all others of your and Steve do perfectly fine, with the exception of TCF V2, which refuses to go to work). Restarted the server, reinstalled MT4 - nothing. Am testing on 1M, 5M and 1H.

Which timeframe did you attach it to? Perhaps that makes the difference?

Thanks!

Strange.

It doesnt matter which TF you attach it too.

I have it attached to GBPJPY 1H.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is any indicator required? Cannot imagine there is, the EA would spit out an error and I don't get any such messages at all. Really strange, all other EAs are working like a charm!

Sorry, saw your post only after I posted my reply. Forget it, I won't pester you with this small thing. Keep developing EAs instead

Scoobs,
The 1st Scooby has been quietly making gains on my demo. Since the entry rules are changed somewhat in this edition, I'll just save this with a different name and keep testing both. Grateful and Cheers.

I started running it last Wednesday. It opened 6 trades almost immediately, 4 of them already closed in profit with an overall +150 pips, but the other two are still open with a DD of 600 pips.
No trades opened yesterday.

Question on the Scooby EA: How does it decide when to close a losing trade?

Please do not pester our GURU SCOOBY. He is not here to develop EAs, or fix bugs or explain why a certain EA is not trading, etc.

He says we listen, we ask and if it`s worthy of a reply he replies. He is the jewel in the crown of FF.

If Steve feels you are pestering scooby he will ban you from posting. I do not need to say anymore.

Hi Scooby,

Quick question on your latest creation. Quite possible I am misunderstanding something here.

Hi Macman,
If you do not mind my taking the liberty to chime in here. I would leave it as it is. 5 for 5 on the nfp is rare.

Can't really understand your answer - what does "5 for 5 on the nfp is rare" mean?

The question was because Scooby wrote that he had made changes and is now using the 20 & 200 SMA on 1H TF, but the code looks like the SMA's are using the 4H TF. It probably does not make much difference, or maybe that's what Scooby meant -

To clarify, I understand the difference, but I am referring to the results from today's testing. I would keep it as it is if the results continue to be this encouraging. It does not preclude changing the code to the 1H TF and comparing the forward test results with the present SMA 4H.

Cheers

No kidding. Scoobs EA 6 on 6 here (total 500+ pips), with another 4 opens (2+ 2-). That is during nfp and after (right up to Friday close). So even the code is 4H sma, so be it.

Also the KG extreme yields 2 on 2 (total 100 pips). I place it on 15M chart during the nfp. Survived well.

Good results overall. Cheers to Scoob and Steve.
