I customized the Holy Grail v1.6.

now for the newly-added settings below:

LotFixed = true;
fixedLot = 0.01;
UsePendingOrder = true;
OrderLimit = 6;

they mean:

you can set your own lotsize fixed at 0.01 or 10 if you want;
when entry conditions meet, we put a pending order instead of a market order; the pending order will be valid for 4800 seconds, that is 1 hour and 20 minutes, before it is expired or entered (4800 is just my feeling);
and the limit for this EA's positions is 6. (before 6 is the limit of the whole MT4 platform, which is...
Hey Charvo

Have you managed to test this version? Scoobs' version 2.5 i think has evolved highly now. He is using the laguarriRSI indicator and a couple of other bits and peices to help.

WHats the win/loss ratio for this version this week so far?

Hi Steve,
I have been running the latest ADR OB_OS robot for the last couple of days and have noticed that it does not open any 'BUY STOP' orders.
Looking back through the logs, the orders are being placed but they are immediately being cancelled.

I have had a quick look through the code and can only see one possible answer. In the SendOrder function you are not calculating a value for 'tp' in the conditional brach 'if (dir == OP_BUYSTOP)'.

I'm not sure if this is the answer. I will have a play around with the code.

PeeJay
Cheers. I will have a look as well. I did not realise that orders were being sent.

Here are my results for the Invisible EA. It took some hits today:

Demo 1 fxdd Ea only No mptm 15 trades 8 winners 6 losers 1 BE -62 pips Current DD = 3.5%

Demo 2 fxdd EA with mptm 17 trades 10 winners 6 losers 1 BE -67 pips Current DD = 5%

Sandy
As the mptm only controls a trade after it has opened you must be on two different broker feeds, otherwise the number of trades opened should be identical, assuming you started both bots at the same time?

If the feed is different enough so that one bot opens 15 trades & the other one 17 trades, comparing the two is not going to be of much value IMHO

Thanks for your results, Sandy. My demo profit is suffering some dents, but still not bad at all for just over a week. If I were live I would just close it and leave it until after NFP next week and be happy with what I had.
No problem Invisible. I'm up 1% forthe week on one demo and 3% for the other. There's still NFP though

No I've been running the smaller demo for a while testing other EAs. And I started the Invisible ea on it first with mptm. I started the second demo later (I think it was a day later) to test the results of the EA without mptm

Could also just be a case of using mptm is causing trades to close at different times. So possibly if it's closing a trade sooner, allows for a new trade to be taken, or if closing a trade later, keeps a trade from being taken, compared to the other test.

I have not been keeping up with all this, so sorry if my contribution here is barking at the wrong moon.

mptm will override any other ea settings. If you set mtpm up to manage trades, then it will do so without reference to anything other than its own settings.

That's a very good point. MPTM does a great job of setting the BE and guaranteeing some pips if there's a retrace.

didn't test it on demo/live.

i only know it should be safer than original HG v1.6. hopefully, some of you guys can test it.

now at my end, all EA place no trades for quite a few days, don't know why yet......

Only just started testing, but here are charts of Scooby 1.6 & Scooby Invisible mod running on the same broker and both having exits controlled by the mptm. mptm has same values for both.

Two days only so far ...

Hi, Macman,

That's my general impression too from two demos: Scooby 1.6's equity curve (without MPTM in my case) is more stable than Invisible's (with MPTM).

Also 1.6 trades much less (lower trading costs/frequency of trading always a big factor in long-term results, though folks tend to overlook this in the short term).

I'm now net negative on Invisible's (but have this problem of MPTM causing multiple/divided entries exits; so my results are biased) now, but Scoob's 1.6 holds its profits very well across a range of market conditions. A big factor if one is to run a bot with real money.

Thanks

P.S. Also, Steve's original ADR OB_OSC bot (not looked at SAR one yet, given my recent work arrangements) has started to produce some wins (all small trades in the nature of this bot). It may be profitable, but I have it on the same account as Scoob's 1.6 and have not disentangled the results.

Am thinking that adding ADR multiples for extra/scaled entries may be a way to counter-attack the DDs in Invisible's bot (re the DD on it always seems to come back quite a long way, and there are quite a few DDs on it in terms of open equity, just that they are never end up as bad as they originally look). There must be a way of gaming them as profitable trades with a supplementary code routine in the bot, without turning it into a glorified Martingale system (could make exit some fraction of the way back to the Invisible's bot's losing entry points).

In short, the fact these open equity DD trades on Invisible's regularly come back a long way (if not entirely) is a tradeable opportunity.

Hi All,

Find link for my forward test of TCF v2 with optimized H1 chart settings for 6 pairs;

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/getd...gd71-mod/15997

EURUSD
GBPUSD
USDCAD
USDJPY
EURJPY
GBPJPY

GBPJPY, USDJPY, USDCAD and EURUSD use default attached settings.

GBPUSD unique setting LR.Length = 80

EURJPY unique setting LR.Length = 102...
Are you still doing forward testing on TCF V2 based on your settings?

Noticed that the last trade was on 26th Feb. Account grown by 15%, good.

Nothing in March?

Thanks.

P.S. Am aware that V3 is out.

I've been running Zoogle's Scooby Mod EA on demo since February 23. The results have been quite good. The account is up 9.3% and current UPL is less than 1% through it has been as high as 5%.

However, I just noticed that I set the GMT offset for the broker server time, not the local PC time, so I have been running the bot on +3 GMT when I should have been running it on -8 GMT. I have to wonder how the bot would have performed if I had used the correct setting...better? Or worse?

wrong decisions:

have now: - Trend=down
- Long Trades are allowed
- Short Trades are allowed

with highrsi off

Buy Trades are taken when prices < MA, so trend trade is not used even if setting = true.

Bloody hell fire and damnation. I did put the unfixed version up in place of the unfixed version.

Even now, I have uploaded, downloaded and checked the blasted thing about six times before I finally managed to upload the correct one. Ye Gods, but I can be thick sometimes. Until you have had to do it, you have no idea what a faff is involved in updating the zip, going back to post 1, clicking the edit button and waiting for the damned screen to appear, then clicking 'advanced' because that is the only way to get to 'manage attachments', then waiting for an ice age for the damned thing to go advanced, then clicking 'manage attachments' and waiting for another ice age for the damned screen to appear, then clicking the 'browse' button and locating the zip, clicking 'upload' and waiting for a vast ice age whilst the damn thing uploads, then kicking the cat when I close the edit window without remembering to save it........

It takes about 10 times as long to upload an update than it does to code the update in the first place.

Good thing you turned into a birdy, though; the version in the zip was rubbish. It is corrected now and attached here as well, so people can get it straight away.

I have been running it with -8 as a GMT offset (i am with fxdd). My results are nothing like yours! I would keep your GMT settings as they are, to be honest!
