Hi all,

During my journey in Paris, I saw that my bot worked a lot, unfortunately the remaining (loosing) open trades are larges.
Originally when I started developping this bot 2 months ago, I checked 3 TF for the trend (M15, H1 and H4), later (and actually) only 2. So I will back to check 3 TF (20 EMA > 200 EMA). We will have very much less trades, but hope we will recover faster.
Also I will try to add the feature included in last Scoob Holy grail :change the period of RSI according pair and time, althought that when using rsi oscillator that...
Max,

Hope your visit to the City of Love has insipred you even more! I'm a great fan of your EA and also witnessed the DD that you mention. It seems to close the profitable trades/basket quite nicely and the balance grows, but then so does the DD.

One suggestion from me would be to look at the oldest and/or least profitable trade (i.e. the single trade that is either the oldest or with most DD) and then include that in the basket as well. Closing the basket in profit whilst including this losing trade may help 'clean-up the trades as it goes along.

Keep up the good work along with Steve and Scooby.

Cheers,
Nick.

What the heck happened? Scoobs, I thought dumb posts would be simply ignored. Or the Singapore heat got your patience threashold lowered? Pity if you stop contributing.

Steve Having seen this thread deteriorate in the last few pages particularly, I think it is time to stop allowing posting for anyone without a minimum number of vouches. This will mean I also will not be able to post anymore (not around on FF long enough to have any yet), but at least it will keep the really inane comments away. There is some very good work being done here on some very promising bots, but I am concerned that the people who are actually bringing the ideas and effort to the table are about to walk away. Banning clearly is not working anymore as more and more people access the thread - and on top of that it is too much work for you to be expected to do. I will happily sacrifice my own ability to post to keep the silly crowd out of this thread. Thank you. Invisible

my comforts to you, Scoob. i understand your feeling. i thank you sincerely for ideas you bring along, and efforts you give to us.

i am ashamed that i mostly only take from this thread rather than give something. i want to give, but not intelligent enough to.

many thread-readers have an annoying reaction or attitude. when they don't understand a simple thing, their 1st move is to ask here or ask steve and scoob, instead of doing some simple googling (or self learning). when an EA is offered, these idiots' first reaction is not to spend a few days to understand what it does, reading the code, but just ask the inventer to "can you change this for me?" "why you not add that for me?". this is simply dumb! these kind of requests and questions have ruined tons of golden threads on FF, and drove away many genius like scoob before.

one day, steve will be sick of these dumb readers too...

however, scoob, please do not be so desperate. there are also some golden minds here in FF, occasionally found among silly questions, and you know that, like the recent zoogle's version, or getdown71's optimized set.
please don't leave, and don't support too much to tire yourself. just stay and say a few words everyday. that'll still be helpful to this world of thread.

I fully support the above voucher based approach for thread posting permission. This will go a long way to eliminating the noise factor.

Hi, Maxou888:

Your great EA is now more and more complicated and versatile. Congradulations, and many thanks!

I have one question though:

do you think it is not economical to trade those pairs like euraud, eurcad?

for example, eurcad, for many brokers, has 10 pips spread (or 9). if usually a eurcad is openned for 20 tp, 20 sl. it is in fact a position has 10 pips to got stopped out, but 30 pips to get to tp, right after entry. i understand this is not a fixed tp vs sl system. however, NOT considering this huge spread is usually a fundamental mistake (killing the system), especially for a intra-day frequent trading EA.

say, if you are confident in this system, why not double the trading size of eurusd from 0.4 lot to 0.8 lot, but remove eurcad. this way, your trading volume is same if we assume the entries of eurusd is approximately same as eurcad. and you save a lot of trading cost (those spreads).

this is in fact the same concern I have on Scooby's EA. I don't understand why to trade that many pairs with 10pips high spreads. if those pairs are that profitable, we should trade them only. Otherwise, should focus on major pairs, like EU, UJ, GU, GJ, and EJ...., but eurnzd, gbpcad, and ....., doesn't seem right to me.

I think it would be best to test all pairs, and after a month of testing do the proper analysis and then remove the non-profitable pairs. Thatīs what Iīm doing, anyway. You have no way of knowing which are profitable and which arenīt before you test them all.

Hi Scoobs,

I really donīt understand what really happens that make you to take this decision, and hope you change your mind.

I just want to say you, many, many, thanks. I am really grateful because before this thread I was in forex something like flying by instruments. Didnīt really understand very well why some things happens to be the way they are.

But after reading this whole BIG BIG thread, copy pasting almost all the post - the ones that looked to me useful and informative, a few daft questions, and starting to try the robots, understood a little more. But I knew I havenīt digest everything.

So, started to read carefully my notes at the computer taking notes on my book. And Thanks God I started to realize and understand better many things that like I said before were flying by instruments, almost blind.

I beleive my forex career had been change by this thread, specially your invaluable contributions. Who knows what this is going to mean to me and my family. God bless you.

-best

I also like to see the voucher system although I won't be able to post too inorder to save this tread. We have come so far and I see light across the tunnel as we see how Scoob and Steve etc iron things out is just so exciting and work out so nicely like this saying, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. ..."

Steve is required to make time because it is a public thread????????????

Are you paying him to answer questions or paying him for a service? I doubt that you are so unless you are do not make any demands what Steve can or should do. No one has the right to tell someone what they should do. People should ask people to do items. That is called respect. If Steve chooses to answer someone that is his right as this is a free forum.

I posted one post here and then removed it as I felt it was inappropriate.
However the recent comments are also inappropriate IMO for a Forexfactory thread.
1. When is a person a idiot when they see a very long thread and simply ask for the current working version. This should be answered in a civil way.

2. Calling people idiots because they are asking questions on a research and development thread is a great way to not get the results you want. It's simply not the professional thing to to plus it's not nice.

3. This thread is public and as such...

I will not argue with you except to say this is a public thread so when a simple question is ask then it should be answered IMO.
However this is not the main focus of my post which is learn to be nice and stop the name calling. You have no idea how immature this looks on a R &D project.

People, letīs stop this nonsense. Anyone wanting to have a virtual fight, do it by PM. Personally, I have no interest whatsoever in getting into this kind of message exchange, and am pretty sure the vast majority here shares that feeling. Seen it many times in FF, and the result is always the same.

So anyone who hasnīt something constructive to contribute, please keep it shut, at least on the public forum.

My post was very constructive. It mentions that people should respect other people. Good to know you will not post anything unless it is constructive as I agree with you on that.

hey Dean,

can you understand what hard work here have been done ? Lot of serious people bring their skills and that thread is long enough discussing coding, testing and constructive ideas.

There is no need for other comments. So if you can respect and share that spirit, the best you can do is to wipe your posts right now.

Next time your risk is to be ban on that thread. no need reply to this.
