Oh dear. Another individual unable to recognise sarcasm when he/she reads it.

Ok, so astral77 and I were having some fun at the expense of a deeply idiotic poster. If you are unable to recognise this, then I am afraid you too have your problems.

astral77 is an experienced trader and valued contributor to my threads. I will give you this one chance to back off and stay quiet. Respond to this with anything other than humility and I will bar you from posting in any of my threads. When you find them, you will discover they are invaluable- not for...
If you acknowledge that such deeply idiotic posters exist, why would you blast me for failing to recognize that Astral77 isn't one of them? Do you leave no room for possibility that newcomers to your thread are unaware of your inside joke? Was I particularly rude or did I say anything factually incorrect to your friend?

Is this really how things work at www.forexfactory.com?

Hehe. I cannot resist this. Apologies to everyone apart form jwUK for what follows.

What an utterly stupid question. The dimmest at FF can sometimes make me wonder why I bother coding anything, but fatuous posts like this one make my day.

Only someone far too dim to read even the first post in a thread can possibly ask a question this daft. I assume you are incapable of actually reading the user guide in post 1. There must be a few two-syllable words that slipped through the must-write-this-for-idiots-censor; my apologies for this monumental failing.

I honestly prefer reading Steve's threads above watching most of the dumbed-down $hit that passes for TV here in the UK - brilliant entertainment.

I will pass on some pearls of wisdom to help those thinking of posting before doing their research.

When I was growing up my father (a wise man) told me one memorable day
"Son nobody knows you are a fool until you open your mouth".

I guess the modern version is
"Son nobody knows you are a fool until you touch the keyboard".

The joys of instant communication ...

Hi DodgeV83

Please do not take things the wrong way, if you read Steve`s threads you will see the depth of knowledge and opportunity for learning is astounding. The speed with which ideas are analyzed, tested and then developed or discarded is breath taking. Although 80% to 90% of the time the discussion is very serious and business like occasionally some humor, sarcasm and laughter is needed to relax and unwind.

When I see a silly posting I always look at the member`s profile and what the previous postings were like. Unfortunately, newbies to forex are the last to arrive and want to be the first to be served with a result. We all know Steve`s rule regarding silly questions and when I saw what this person had written (which showed he had not even bothered to read the first page) I looked up his previous postings and they were just the same. That is why I replied in such manner.

My knowledge is very limited and I still have hell of a lot to learn. However, from my previous posts you could have concluded that I know some basic rules of forex. The clues I left was the 5% per day, trading from Friday afternoon and throughout the weekend, etc. Anyhow, welcome to Steve`s world in FF, do read the main threads Scooby`s BOJ and Schlossberg inspired trading robots, you will find it very educational and entertaining.

Kind regards

I owe you an apology astral77, because I offered you the MegaMarketPipCrunching ea. This does not trade at weekends.

You already have the original version of EpsilonMegastar, first featured in the scooby-doo thread. For an ongoing licence fee of only $500 more a month, you can have the updated version of this unbelievable robot, with added weekend trading featurs.

Yes, now you can trade from Friday night through to Monday morning.

This robot utilises the latest high speed, dual core fibre optical neural network optimized wirelessly wired technology, that bypasses your broker's server and places the trades directly with the Interbank Network.

This robot forces your broker to pay the spreads, by billing the broker directly to his server and automatically crediting your trading account with this sum.

All this whilst the broker is closed at the weekend.

I am able to offer you, and you alone, the special discount licence price. This price must remain a secret to avoid the robot being bought more quickly than I can type out the incredibly complex code. Each copy is unique to the license holder and so must be individually typed. Pm me for the price at which I am prepared to offer you this fantastic opportunity.

I feel I have to intervene here and add a note of caution.

As a long term user of the EpsilonMegastar I have to warn anybody thinking about taking up this offer that setting up the monster is not for the faint hearted.

It involves trying to work out the local time in Japan allowing for the broker time offset, but with scant regard for summer & winter times.

In fact the only place it really works reliably is Iceland as they are at GMT all year round - with no change for summer or winter time.

As a service to the community I just thought you should know this ....

There is an extra service available at a mere $500 per month.

For this, you will get:

 

  1. Free setting up and maintenance of the robot in situ, with the time-settings automatically calculated for you.
  2. Re-routing of your computer's ISP signals so that you live in 'virtual' Iceland, thereby taking advantage of the all-round GMT status of this country.

WOW - that sounds great - wish I had known about this earlier.

The move to an Icelandic server was pretty expensive for me - but was sure worth it in the end. Really looking forward to getting my upgrade.

As an Existing Customer, you get yours by Priority Upgrade, so I am typing it out now. As usual, you can have your usual 50% discount on the monthly licence fee if I send you the sheets and you type it out yourself.

Steve, I know you said this is a special offer just for Astral77 but may I please also be included. I would like to order 3 licenses immediately! Therefore I can attach each one to a seperate EUR/USD chart and become rich 3 times faster. Please rush my order so that I will not miss this weekends trading session.

Sorry, tiny bit late because I was busy counting my extensive fortune. You still have time to make a killing this weekend.

The paperwork for the three licenses has been send by astra-courier and should be with you by this time yesterday.

Reverse-Transverse typing (available at a snip of $100,000) will:

 

  1. allow you to instantly code the robots
  2. read back over 9 months of trading
  3. pick the trades that would have netted a minimum of 1,000,000 pips
  4. reverse-engineer the trades so your profits will be on an 'as actually happened' basis

Naturally, by ordering three licences, you attract the normal 30% discount on the monthly fee i.e. 10% per license.

[quote=pathumracled;3267488]Can someone please assit in making the Multi-Purpose Trade Management utility, Manage the tradeds on an account by Symbols? If this were done we would be able to have one instance of the EA manage the account regardless of the number of EA used or whether or not the the actual trades are reversed (originate as long but placed as shorts or vice-versa). The level of control it provides would be increased several times over.

Here is an addition to manage by symbols by cacus but it does not have the new additions that Steve has recently made. If you like this Steve can you add it to yours so all the additions will be there?

thanks,
David

Happy New Year All,
like the bulls, I have been resting up for a while and allowing the bear a run. Now they are getting tired, It is again time to charge.

Thank you “fiddlinaroung” , for keeping this request alive. To “Catus” for the mods, I will put it to the test and provide meaningful feedback thereafter. All good help are cherished here, and so they should.

To the coders and more experienced users here, kindly provide an input here and as always, may the benefits redound to all who are able.

As it is the M-PTM is terrific and with a fully functioning option to manage by trade symbols, well, in my view the only thing left is for it to provide deposits for us {WAKE...UP!!}. A basket may not hew much water, but if frozen, as Pips must be to be caught, you could be well on our way to near worry free & profitable trading. The M-PTM is invaluable in this regard.

Thank you to all the participants who have mate it a reality {specialmention to Mr. SteveHopwood}. May you continue harvest as may Pips as you need.

This is regardless if the trades are straight or reversed. But as in all things education is priceless and we must educate ourselves first, before or while we proceed on any endeavour. If we don't, particularly in ForEx, the market will take advantage of us (mercilessly!!!), by giving our spirits and deposits to those who took the time to be appropriately educated.

Success has no shortcuts, but demise has many avenues.

God Speed to those who can heed.

Bless!

Here is another up-grade by Robert Hill... We can turn the text on/off which really helped me when I had several small charts on a profile and couldn’t see the price bars...

Steve, would you add the anti-flicker settings to this one or considering adding these settings to the original that would be wonderful...

The latest updated version is in post 1.

I discovered this morning that the ea would not manage some magic number trades under certain circumstances. This turned out to result from some coding left behind from its earliest incarnation, when all the ea had to do was manage trades on the chart it was loaded on to.

This should add some flexibility to managing by magic numbers and trade comments.

I have also got rid of that irritating flicker that has driven us all nuts for a couple of years. That alone is worth the update.

I went to the first post and the Manage All Trades download would not downlad the mq4 file. It was a php file. I was going to try to add the changes you made to the one I just posted...

David, I am delighted to see people adapting my code to their own purposes. I am not going to try to adapt my version to your changes because

 

  1. I do not know what you have done.
  2. If I wanted what you have done, I would already have done it.
  3. I would have to adapt the user guide; doing that is tedious enough when I understand what has been done, so imagine how pissed I would get trying to adapt it for the changes you have made.

It turns out that getting rid of the flicker is easy. Go to start() and remove the line if (ShowComments) Comment("Monitoring trades");

As I added the trailing stop to the BS 5 minute momo bot earlier, I noticed a big bug in the mptm trailing stop function, that impacts on the hidden trailing stop functionality.

There is a fix for this in post 1.

Those of you coding your own enhancements to the robot, go to void TrailingStopLoss()

You are looking for two lines of code, one within the buy conditional, the other within the sell conditional. Because of a double-bug, these are both bool TradeClosed = CheckForHiddenStopLossHit(OP_BUY, PipsAwayFromVisualJS, OrderStopLoss() );

One needs replacing with bool TradeClosed = CheckForHiddenStopLossHit(OP_BUY, PipsAwayFromVisualTS, OrderStopLoss() );

The second needs replacing with TradeClosed = CheckForHiddenStopLossHit(OP_SELL, PipsAwayFromVisualTS, OrderStopLoss() );

If unsure, study the code in post 1 - I have left the original lines commented to make things obvious.

steve,

1st thanks for your efforts. what i personally would like to see is a stopp loss which is becoming a litlle loose.

just like you implemented tightening when it goes towards your take profit.

i would first set a break even on a certain moment and then for every x pips in my direction move the SL y pips until it is Z pips and then further trail at z.

so for example at 5 pips go to break even +2 (so sl is 3 pips away from market); now for every 2 pips in my direction notch up the sl by 1 pip until sl is 15 pips away from market. and then further trail at 15 pips
