Nope. Hadn't noticed. Too busy coding.

I used ATR * 4 for the stop because I was asked to. No idea if this is good or not. There is an input that allows people to reduce this if they want.

ok.

On some pairs that will be a SL of 600 (4 digit) or 6000 (5 digit).

But, who cares.

HI Steve

This thread has become like a run away train. So many EAs and ideas flying in and out. Very exciting but I hate to be a new visitor (will be lost and maybe banned in no time).
It should settle down for a while. I have no intention of coding any more robots. We already have a number, one of which is trading a proven strategy. Even if this is the only one that survives, we are already way ahead of the majority of threads here in FF.

As to the rest, surely one or two will turn out to have legs. My current front runners are TCF V2, scoobs and max's. We shall see.

Posting new versions of existing robots with the coder's screen name is a good idea. Just don't expect updated links in post 1. Keeping up with Max was enough of a (much-valued) distraction; keeping up with umpteen others is not going to happen.

I changed the atr value to M15.
That gives me a reasonable SL & TP...
Around SL of 40-60 pips

DXtrade,

Can you elaborate how you made this change? I'm not a coder and don't understand how you made this change.

'Tis up to users to find their level. Or stick with your highly effective original version, which is what I suggest people do if they do not know how to use ATR. Yours is the version I have on my tiny live account; I am not changing it until/if the new one proves more effective.

I am going to edit my post to make my feelings clearer.

As usual, my version in post 6350 had an utterly stupid typing mistake that renders the damn thing nearly useless.

If you downloaded before the latest edit time in the post, then you need to re-download.

Thanks for you unending efforts Steveo!

I wasnt knocking you Steve, I know you just code requests.

Sorry if I came across as harsh.

What people should be using as a resonable ratio is........

TP = 1 x H4 ATR
SL = 1 x D1 ATR

But like you said its upto them to decide/figure it out.

Scoobs.

PS. The above assumes that their entries are near perfecto as they can be.

DXtrade,

Can you elaborate how you made this change? I'm not a coder and don't understand how you made this change.
Either you put the EA on a M15 chart or:
You change the:
double AtrValue=iATR(symbol,0,AtrPeriod,0)
into:
double AtrValue=iATR(symbol,M15,AtrPeriod,0)

There should be 3 of these to change...

Because GBPJPY is a cross pair.....

GBPJPY Price = GBPUSD Price * USDJPY Price

If it’s not broke why fix it. Scoobs version is fine with me, the way I like it he has done all the thinking for me, although the smarter traders can fiddle around with it to their heart’s content. I also have it on IBFX penny account and it is doing OK (improved performance during the last two days).

What is bothering me is the highly successful SCOOBY BOJ ORIGINAL EA. We can have 10 winners and then be back to square one after one loser. I hope scoobs and other brainy contributors give some thought to what can be done in this regard. Maybe higher TP level (e.g.1.2% or 1.1%, etc) and lower SL (e.g. 9%, 8.5%, etc). In other words anything to improve the odds. I know Scoobs has given careful consideration to 1% TP and 10% SL, however, I am experimenting with SL of 8% (with danger of more frequent stop outs) and monitoring how this compares with other traders.

Kind Regards

That gives you a SL of around 96 Pips on GBPJPY and TP of 48 right now.
Which s reasonable....
EUR has a bit more because of the huge candle before... rare event that the atr of the eur is bigger then the guppy...

some jpytraders share some thoughts in usdjpy for 2010 that it possible can stay at 80 digit.

9 out of 10 of your questions are meaningless, since the answers will NOT help your trading at all.

sorry for being frank.

Maybe for you does not make sense. i'm not exactly looking for help here.
seek knowledge, something that you answer did not help at all too.


any way best regards for all
