It doesn't matter how hard I glare at the code, I still cannot see anything wrong. I have been to my experiments script and tried out the usual stuff that I would balls up, but you have avoided those basic mistakes.

Could it simply be that some combination of FFCal and FF calendar have allowed this news event to slip through? I have spent hours trying to track down bugs that turned out to be due to nothing I could control - that blasted MarketInfo must have a string parameter being caused by punters changing the tf with a robot still attached causing...

Steve,

Still seeing on-chart text flashing quickly back and forth between "trading suspended for public holiday" and the normal on-chart information provided during trading hours.

this is the last version of the bot
- tightening the trend detection (2TF). Less trades
- improved speed execution
Now you have to set the charts to M5, that doesn' t change the indic periods, but some calculations are done only when a new bars open

EURUSD
GBPJPY

EURJPY
- copy the 2 indics in indic folder
-apply the template
and that's all !

About brokers, Alpari UK's only blatantly criminal activity appears to be their compulsory leverage of up to 500:1. In every other respect, they seem as ok as bucket shop brokers can be.

By "up to 500:1", what they actually mean is the leverage will only be less than 500:1 if the markets are closed at the weekend.

This lethal leverage will kill the inexperienced every time. Cutting normal lot sizes by 20% is probably the key to survival. I am trading a tiny account with play money, using fibonacci s/r levels just to see if I can...

Although i do use them becareful Steve.

They have been getting slatted recently for changing spreads very high after you have placed a trade.

EURCHF seems to be the biggest problem with a spread of over 200 during Asia sessions.

I would be careful running the Scooby EMA20-EMA200.

Looks like there are many bugs. i.e. News filter and trades not being placed.

If it is on a demo with other ea's, this
if(OrdersTotal() == 5)
{
break;
}

could stop all the robot's trades.

There can't be too many bugs, Scoobs; the robot is not complicated enough for a lot to creep in. Masterly simplicity, this robot.
