Coding the exit under these circumstance is not a problem. Deciding what we want to do is what requires decision taking.

One thing I do think is essential is that users of automated trading systems use small lot sizes and take lots of little trades. This way, we can ride out the occasional news spike. I do not see us retail traders with our small accounts accepting large lot size trades, depending for their success on taking a small number of pips via an autotrader.

Most of us are hoping to use an auto-trading robot because...
Agreed.

My advice is that nobody (unless you are experienced) should be trading CADJPY as it is testing a potential trend reversal. It is often the odd one out of the JPY pairs for reasons I have mentioned on previous posts.

OK, your scenario assumes rightly that a high impact news release has the potential to strongly move price one way or the other (stating the obvious here).

So I guess hedge with pending orders either side of your current position, then re-evaluate after the news event has passed or close the position and accept the loss or profit.

Just my $0.01 worth.
Maybe my example wasnt very good.

If say there was an interest rate decision tomorrow morning at 11.00am regarding the YEN then personally I wouldnt want an EA opening XXXJPY trades until after that decision and not now many hours before.

I dont have the time to go through an indepth review of every pair.

However, personally, I wouldnt be trading (LIVE) any EUR pairs either at the moment due to the Eurozone issues.

But as Steve points out it will be a learning curve to let the EA's do their thing.

The input file to FFCAL has not been updated, it is still showing last weeks.

So, trades may be placed by any of the EA's during JPY news at 11.50pm

Can't even claim to complete reading the thread! This thing is HUGE!

... and impressive... I read all posts until around two weeks into the start, then started skimming, then jumping by 50 pages or so, jump to end (whoa linearity?)... then re-read page 1 again (and again and again).

Much clearer after the hop, skip and jump! But still much learning to do.

So much work done in so short a time! Really Impressive!

I'm trying the original.

Thanks to Scooby and Steve!

Yep. Start with the Original, then branch out into the most promising listed on page 1. Read about them and you can't go too far wrong. If in doubt, stick to the Original until you know what you are doing.

Yep. Your platform crashed.

Uninstall the platform, reinstall, reboot, restart, update your platform, reboot.

hahaha.. done all that.

You crack me up.

I did notice that even if I dont add the EA but add the indicators only, i get the crash. It happens with FFcalc only. The EA is ok, and so is the rs strength index indi..

oh well... if you think of a solution do let me know.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when I load the Yen Trader it keeps coming up with "Trading disabled". When I look in the Experts section it is repeatedly looking for the "Economic News" indicator which I have loaded into the Indicators section. It seems as though there's a bug?? I have tried reloading Yen Trader, shutting down and restarting the platform, etc. Anybody else notice this?

Just as an aside, the Maxou bot continues to perform exceptionally well. It's up 3%+ already today!!

Thanks in advance for the assistance!
