How about KG EA, Steve? Did you change anything or let it run with your last settings?
Best regards!
I have the trade close RS settings at 50, otherwise using the defaults.

I am using mptm to close half the trade at +50(0) and move the stop to breakeven, following Boris Scholssberg's dictum of never letting a winner turn into a loser.

The account is +32% since opening on Monday. Little drawdown. I regard this robot as highly promising.

Scoob,

What causes a small spike up?
depends on the TF.

It happens all the time on 1M, 5M and 15M.

Usually pending orders @ IB level being placed and removed in short spaces of time.

Don't forget there are allot of Market Trap Traders whereby the place large pending trades spoofing the market into going one way or another and then remove them taking your profits. They take a risk that they can get away with it without their orders being filled. And usually they do because they are placing/removing these in nano seconds but its enough for retail traders EA's to action close trades.

In re: to brokers. I think there are a few people who need to do a bit more research in this thread..


Firstly, IBFX is far from semi-honest, and has never been semi-honest. Just like every other broker..

Secondly, broker location doesn't give you access to your finds re: bankrupcy. NFA FSA ASIC whatever, none of these regulatory bodies are going to give you your money back if something happens, all they will do is try to prevent something happening.... Note FXLQ, REFCO....

Second to this, racial background has nothing to do with scams. Be it greek, cypriot, russian, chinese, whatever. Infact, you will find that the majority of forex fraud is committed out of Africa and the US. This includes fund management, signals, brokers etc.

Russia would come in third, mostly through the sale of expert advisers and miracle systems. Any successful russian broker moves overseas and they do it rather quickly.

Swiss regulation no longer regulates brokers but requires them to become banks. Of course, the rule of thumb about switzerland has always been, what money goes in, never comes out. And alot of friends of mine here in Australia agree with that now that the GFC has passed.

In ref to gomarketsaus. The STP model requires a commission to be paid in order for the broker to make money. Especially with the spreads they are charging. The common trader does not notice that you require commission to make money without a dealing desk. The spread itself, is just the different between the bid and the ask of the liquidity providers. Brokers increase spread from the liquidity providers e.g eur/usd 2 pips (standard is 0-1 pip) to cover costs. So, any company that is not openly honest about their dealings, to me is a clear reason to stear clear. Further to that, anyone who uses semi pressure or pressure sales in order to chase up demo account signups to get them to deposit, then get aggressive when you suggest you will not deposit, as another red flag to me. (Go marketsaus, FXCM Aus, FXSol Aus, GFT Forex CMC markets).

The last thing to watch for is market conditions. Its easy to do this, get a demo of a true ecn model (not one of the fake ones, i wont mention names for this but there are only 2 true MT4 platforms that are direct market this is a fact no matter how you want to play it) and compare your feed. If your feed isn't moving as much by 50% or more, I suggest not using them. They will be filtering and most probably stop hunting you. Or like IBFX, increasing spread to stop you out.

Ew... lengthy post

Sorry scoob and steve to post this in your sexual healing thread. But after the last 3 pages, I felt it necessary.

I think it is all down to the NewsFilter being constantly called for each pair in the for/loop.

Scoobs.
Since you disallow trading for an hour up to a news release, how about a call to the news function every 30 minutes?

I took scoobs advice and sat it out last night (for me EST). Glad I did
AUD/JPY nothing like a 1000 pip spike in 2 min. If a person was on the right side of that that they lucked out

sucks for those on the wrong side

Here you are.Remember mptm does not adjust for 4/5 digits thingies, so what you enter is what the ea looks for.

Hehe. Actually, I have this problem with names. It is a genuine problem. I am capable of looking at a kid I have been teaching for years and forgetting what she is called, briefly.

I have the habit of writing the names of new pupils somewhere discreet so I can read it when I can't remember their names - saves the embarrassment of having to ask their name half-way through the lesson.

The point of all this? I can easily get Greece and Cyprus mixed up - Greek and Turkish Cypriots and all that.

eglobal are Cyprus based.
Thanks Steve, I blew coffee all over my computer. You guys crack me up! Thanks for all of your hard work and entertainment.

Yeap, the news filter does not work, another one slipped through being USDCAD at 1.00pm GMT with High impact news on USD at 1.30pm GMT.

So, I dont know what is wrong with it.

Just glancing at it I believe I'm on to something. The Economic News indicator seems to work better if you pass the pair onto it in the first parameter
like:

iCustom( NewsPairs[d], 0, "Economic News", NULL, true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1);

instead of:

iCustom(NULL, 0, "Economic News", NewsPairs[d], true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1);

but I've also been getting different results just passing a single currency like:

iCustom(NULL, 0, "Economic News", StringSubStr(NewsPairs[d],3,3), true, false, false, true, true, 1, 1);

I will look into this further when I have more time but wanted to share my findings to get other curious souls onto the right track. A great bit of kit you've started here Scooby and Steve!

For some reason my Orig accounts haven't traded the last two days. FXDD

Glad I missed the big DD. Just lucky I guess.

For those trading XXXJPY pairs only.

I have found the following to be very useful/profitable.

int OB = 90;
int OS = 10;

if(TimeHour(TimeLocal()) >= 08 && TimeHour(TimeLocal()) < 16) // London session
{
OB = 80;
OS = 20;
}
