Guys, I am guilty of letting my determination to keep this thread clear of idiotic postings lapse.

Sorry about that. I have now returned to being my more ruthless former self.

I reaffirm this to the daft and the lazy here: your first daft or lazy post will be your last.

The JPY carry trade is unwinding, this will mean your sells will get hammered for a short period.

It will be the Bank of Tawain attempting to devalue the Yen.

Dont panic...

In amongst all the stuff about 10% profits and zero divide, the flagship BOJ Original just kicked in with another 1%

A few months of this and I will be rich.

Ditto
Same for me

Cheers

Just out of curiosity, is there any particular reason they would want to devalue the Yen?

Hi,

For others eas that know, the zero divide error is produced because of too few bars that are required for indicators, code etc on the ea.
Does anyone know how many bars the indicators look back to work with Maxou's Bot?

Steve and Scoobs,

Firstly let me congratulate you both on TCF v2. It's monster! (see fxbook link)

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/getd...gd71-mod/15997

6.5% in 2 days - you have really topped yourselves with this one. (optimizations done by humble ol' me - see settings in thread earlier 3000 pages back)

Now, I know the topic of ECN support is a thorny issue, but I wish lightly step into the vipers pit and politely and humbly request;

1) Steve can you possibly add ECN support and money management to Scoobs latest monster EA? (Scooby 20EMA-200EMA-RSI3)

2) The whole ECN issue has been misunderstood/misinterpreted. ECN's are part of the future of MT4 (lets not discuss the dog that is MT5).

I use both FXDD (non-ECN) and Collective FX (ECN) both have their pro's and cons. The BIG pros for Collective FX ECN are;

A) It uses an institutional grade feed = high tick volume
B) Very, very narrow spreads
C) No per transaction commission. (there is a monthly fee)
D) A wide range of pairs (more than most brokers)

The upshot, most EA's perform a lot better on ECN brokers due to A & B above.

What else can I say to convince you that ECN support is a good thing for all - perhaps a delivery of a slab (Aussie slang - 24 cans/bottles) of your favorite beer to your door? (Name you fav ale Steve!)

Regards from a humble ECN connected follower,

I am now with over 20 open trades with the Maxou EA, with many repeated pairs. I´m letting the EA run to see where it goes by itself.

The TP (Big Target) seems not to be functioning (it would be better to allow the user to define it. I didn´t reallly catch how it is calculated by the EA).

Another bug is that the EA decides the lotsize even if you place it in the inputs (Initial lot: 0.02; Increment: 0; StartLotScal: 0 gave a lot size of 0.03, and then 0.04) (?)

The EA looks very well, it is just a bit unclear how each input influences its behavior, at least to me...

Maxou, if you could elaborate on this, ít would be great. Thanks

Getdown,

You post above was very clear. However, i found that your settings in the attachment file were different from default. Do i follow with your post or attachment?

Thanks.

Sorry - I should not have used the word "default"

Yes my settings (set file and unique pair settings) are quite different from EA defaults.

Hi Steve

I just read your assessment of each of the robots on first page. Would you be taking off the ones which you said don't have future from there? May be a summary post of what was on trial and didn't work? I think it will keep the first page more understandable for new readers..I, myself, lost my way through the robots earlier..just a lot of info to digest at once.

Keep up the good work!
Cheers

My wife is complaining that I always go to bed too late!!
Here is some trades of this afternoon....
Hi Maxou,

I could see there are many different comments.... so are you running your EA with different modes?

Will be interesting to know your tf, pair and settings......

I am trying to put it on a demo account...

Thanks

This is nothing to worry about - it just means that part of the EA code is not used and won't be included in the EX4. It doesn't affect the EA's performance unless the coder intended to use it.

Sorry, Nick, but I would not dream of tinkering with Scoobs' robot.
