I will add some trading hours features, so you testers can have separate instances of the momo running and disable trading for the JPY pairs.

sundog, it is the easiest thing in the world to add the option to place pending rather than market trades. I suggest you live with it for this week as is, then I will make the addition at the weekend if you still want it.

Thanks Steve,
Trading hours features will be great! Much easier to disable JPY pairs.

5 min momo with full trading hours control, including Fri/Sat close times is now in the post 1 zip.

Sing out if there are any problems.

Cheers

Hi All, the trading times was my second wish, i just thought it too cheeky to ask in one go

As to testing, cool lets do it. I am actually running the GU and UJ pairs at the moment with different Magic numbers so that I can see what the individual results in the History anlysis

Steve... thanks.

I am having trouble with the time settings. If I set the morning to anything but default, it says outside trading hours. Even though the afternoon time frame is open.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi

Looking forward to see how the results compare. I think Steve has something in region of 20 BOTs and the list is growing by the day (the man is an EA factory). At present we are all doing our own tests without any coordination and collaboration. It is nice to see this or that person saying I made so many PIPS or x Dollars. However, these results do not indicate anything. Furthermore, I think we are all running out of CPU power so we should organize testing in a systematic way in order to identify if the BOT has a future and if it has which currencies and market conditions are the most suitable for it.

We tend to want a universal EA to be trading all year round and all currencies. I think you have heard the expression "Horses for Courses", well I think this applies to EAs and Forex. Although with Scoobs guidance and Steve`s brilliant skills we have the Scooby Original which specializes in xxxJPY, but with all other EAs I think it is imperative to conduct test in a way to identify which EA should be used with which pairs and what market conditions.

Kind regards

See if this does the trick before I go through the faff of uploading it to post 1.

The code was supplied by matrixebiz and appears to work on criminal time. This version is modified to work on local time as you ahve come to expect from me.

Thanks Steve,
I'm going to change mine also. I think mine worked last night although it may have been an hour off if it was crook time.

Scooby, would it be fair to say that the xxxjpy pairs would be less volatile between perhaps 10 -14 Japan time?

Tks.

Tks.
23.00 GMT - 09.00 GMT High Volatility on all XXXJPY pairs.
09.00 GMT - 16.00 GMT High Volatility on GBPJPY with the rest tending to follow its overall direction but not at the same pace.

USDJPY and CADJPY can take a different direction based on the relationship between these cross pairs.

Remember....

GBPJPY = GBPUSD * USDJPY
EURJPY = EURUSD * USDJPY
etc

When London and America on line then GBPJPY is also very volatile because of the above.

Astral,
Excellent idea to structure the testing. Since I am not a programmer, I can only volunteer to run as much EA's as I can on my PC and this would be my humble contribution to this wonderfull thread. Regards, Ludo

So far the following pairs have done well: EURJPY, USDJPY, GBPJPY,NZDJPY, GBPAUD, GBPCAD, GBPUSD, USDCAD.

The following have not done so well: AUDJPY,CADJPY, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURGBP, EURUSD, GBPCHF, NZDUSD.

It could be random or there may be a pattern. Any ideas?

Kind regards

Hi astral,
I am running:
EURJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, USDJPY, EURGBP, EURCHF and GBPJPY
My control acc is all 10 24 hrs......my other acc is the same except removing the xxxJPY pairs during the Tokyo session.

At this time control acc is much better. Time will tell.

Do we need to wait for the bar to close before initiating a trade? I think so.

I just watch a trade trigger as the price went below the level then retraced up before it closed. The next bar went the other way.

Hi sundog,
Manual trading rule for trading with MACD is second or third bar only. This bot's entry point moves around a bit.
