Hi Steve,

I have been reading this thread for a while now (it's amazing, many thanks to you and Scoob!), but this is my first post.

I think I have found a bug in version 2.3.

CheckBasketTradesExpiry states "//This function is only called if TradesWillExpire is set to true and there are open trades".

I think the line
if (NoOfTrades > 0) CheckBasketTradesExpiry();

shoud be changed to
if (TradesWillExpire && NoOfTrades > 0) CheckBasketTradesExpiry();

Regards

BOJ Original V2.3 is available in post 1. I have added trade expiry settings - details in the updates section.

Thanks Steve! Just a small thing you may have overlooked - the next holiday setting should be 21 March, not 20th, the latter being a Saturday.

Which mode did you use for the Maxoubot?
All modes, default settings, as stated on post #5617, Feb 10.

Please take note that the lot sizes are not adjusted to the size of my demo account. Results of test with version 508b and 508k.

Cheers; that is a typo. Those of us in the UK need to set the date to 19th March.

Hi Steve,

Any particular reason for choosing 150 minutes?
The length of the trading period. I am making the assumption that if BOJ does not intervene within this period, then they are not going to intervene. Scoobs will correct this if I am wrong.

Cheers Max. I update the post 1 link whenever you give us a new version.

Did you mean to hide the TradePairs from the user?

Steve,

Remember a few weeks ago we discussed having separate timers for buy and sell ?

Could we try this approach for v2.3 ?

Thanks,

Hi steve,

TradePairs are set according mode. Users have nothing to do. Anyway it's far better do not change any parameters.
I try a version with NonLagMa for trend, will post soon...

Ive been noticing that FFs server gets overloaded during high-impact news releases. This might cause the news filters embedded into EAs not to actually work. I have no clue how this can be overcome, but is certainly something worth discussing, and surely taken into consideration once one decides to go live with a robot using this feature.
My two cents...

Use NonLagMa.
If someone could transform the indic in an internal function, would be great.

Nice one Steve.

--------------------------

Just to let you know that my demo of Opposite Positions Bot (standard, not V1) is still going strong. It managed to hedge and ride out the last 48hrs of upheaval and close the group of open trades for a small profit. Balance has increased by 29% since starting the demo on 10th Feb. Will keep monitoring.

Not true.

Normally they will intervene at open and close, however it depends on their monetary policy orders from above if/when/size of the intervention.

Just because they dont intervene at 00:00am GMT does mean they wont at 01:00am, 02:00am, 03:00am etc.

There is an emergency type meeting going on today and tomorrow regarding the YEN. This is the main reason why the Yen remained weak overnight and today.

The long term trend for JPY is pointing towards down. This signals potential trend reversals across its pairings.

Also, one of its biggest trading partners, China, is on holiday this week. So again another economic signal that the Yen will remain weaker than normal.

Scoobs.

Hey Maxou888,

Thanks for sending out all these updates - my demo 5K account running 509 was up %2.5 yesterday! - nice work.

One thing - I have noticed the EA is somewhat memory hungry and can only load a maximum of 3 charts (GBPJPY/USDCHF/EURUSD is what made the equity yesterday)

Have looking at any memory optimizations yet ? if yes, and i have only 3 charts to play with what would you recommend ?

BTW I'm running Win7 64bit 8GB Ram - I think an instance MT4 memory maxes out at close to 2GB.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

......
Do you mean XXXJPY is going up for now and will potentially resume downtrend for XXXJPY after China's holiday?

My understanding: JPY goes down = XXXJPY up and vice versa

Thanks.
