Do you use default settings, Steve? Which timeframe? 4 hour?
Best regards!
Yep. 4H OB/OS 90/10. Trades close 80/20.

The bot has taken a CADJPY that is at c. +90 at the mo.

if you mean the Scooby 20EMA 200EMA then it doesnt work as there are coding bugs which I will look at later.

Scoobs,
Should this be?

if(EMA_020 < EMA_200 && RSI_M05< 20 && RSI_M15 < 20 && RSI_H01 < 20 && RSI_H04 < 20)
{
if(TradeExist(Pairs[b]) == false && NewsExist(Pairs[b]) == false)
{
if(IsTradeAllowed() == true) SendOrder(Pairs[b],OP_BUY,Lots);
}
}

if(EMA_020 > EMA_200 && RSI_M05 > 80 && RSI_M15 > 80 && RSI_H01 > 80 && RSI_H04 > 80)

Thx for your fast reply! Do you think that it will maybe function with 1 h chart? e.g. OB/OS 95/5?
Best regards!

My test of the latest Scooby is returning the following error:

GBPJPY,M15: the first parameter for StringFind function must be a string

which means the news filter may not be working, so may need some code changing. If I find a solution, will post back.

Don't know. Try it and see. The robot will function on any time frame. The lower you go, the narrower the trading range will be, so trades should be in and out quicker, theoretically.

no.

Sell = EMA_020 < EMA_200 and Overbought
Buy = EMA_020 > EMA_200 and Oversold

That extremes bot cadjpy trade is c. +200 now, with the RS reading at c. 75, so I am leaving it alone to see if RS passes my target of 80 and the bot closes the trade.

One of the big principles in Boris Scholssberg and Kathy Lien's book is: never let a winner turn into a loser. This struck a resonating chord in my psyche. I have taken to trading as much as I can with a divisible lot size, closing half the trade asap and moving the stop to breakeven.

That is why the default lot size is 0.02 instead of 0.01. It struck me looking at that CJ trade that I could easily apply the principle to this robot.

Any other takers for the idea of closing half a profitable trade at the RS = around the 50 mark, then following the trade with a jumping stop?

yes extreme bot has started very well today.

I've also been taking some manual trades using the futuremacd indi and that would also be worth throwing some coding nouse at.

Scoobs.
Bugs are in the coding logic? It triggered 3 trades here (1 hit TP, 2 floating ones). Didnīt check out yet if it opened them appropriately according to the strategy though.

Hi folks,
is somebody using it? If so any results so far?
Best regards!
I started the KG extremes today, so far with 2 losers and 7 open trades, all in positive country.

The CAD is attempting major trend reversals against most of its pairings.

Will you guys stop churning out so many bots, I'm running out of room on my VPS! It's just not on!! http://www.talkgold.com/forum/images/smilies/swear.gif
Only joking ofcourse! http://www.talkgold.com/forum/images/smilies/laugh.gif It's fantastic and so damn exciting to have so many potentially great projects/bots being created. http://www.talkgold.com/forum/images/smilies/woohoo.gif
Gonna need a bigger VPS! Well done to Scoobs & Steve. Can't say thanks enough. Keep it up you guys.

Obviously different broker`s platforms behave differently. On IBFX it opened 8 trades. 5 closed for profit of 97 pips in total. 3 still running EURGBP -19 pips, EURAUD &EURUSD borderline minus few pips.

Kind regards
P.S. loading the update now.

On the extremes bot, my pairs list of OB/OS values shows all zeroes, and at the bottom of the list of course is "no pairs ready to trade". Has anyone else experienced this, and if so what is the solution? Thanks
