Hi I have used the robot time from time since the beginning of the main thread. But I have not read the hole thread. Can anybody explain what it means with second wawe trading on the original robot.

Hi,

I've been following the Scooby BOJ thread for about three weeks now....
sorry about that, i've forgotten that the first time i've used it it was empty too. This indi call LaguerreRSI with icustom ( not Laguerre RSI), so if you need "Laguerre RSI" with something else, just change:

RSIBuf[i] = (iCustom(NULL,0,"LaguerreRSI",gamma,0,i)); line 199

by

RSIBuf[i] = (iCustom(NULL,0,"Laguerre RSI",gamma,0,i));

using metaeditor

that kind of problem can be checked by viewing "errors" in MT4 tab on bottom panel

Dinofx, thank you for the reply. Maybe someone can help me understand it

Do I need the LaguerreRSI indicator loaded onto the chart? And I need to go into the code of the EA and put the above quoted change into it? Sorry to be such a dunce

Elovv,

Read the manual for the original robot and/or the first post. You will find information about the wave 2 trades there. However, Steve has recently suggested that we may now chose not to execute wave 2 trades with version 2.4 of the bot.

Thanks for Your answer. I promise I have read Your manual and the first post several times. I guess my english is to poor for understand everything in english language sometimes. But I think I can understand when it take a second trade if trading condition appers again itīs a 2 wave trade.

It's been about an hour and 15 mins since the robot began monitoring for JPY OS. Seems like todays sell basket is unlikely since the the KG RS Group indicates 31 in M15 and 42 in H1. I understand it needs to be below 10 and 20 respectively.

Lets see what happens as I've been having mixed results on my live micro account since I started trading it last week.

Elovv,

The original bot idea was to look for sell trades near Tokyo open and buy trades near Tokyo close. These would be Wave 3 trades.

Steve had seen other trade opportunities that happen BEFORE the Wave 3 trades. He called these Wave 2 trades.

The Wave 2 trade is a buy trade near Tokyo open or a sell trade near Tokyo close. Steve wrote the bot to take these trades. But he changed it later, so version 2.4 lets you turn on or off the Wave 2 trades.

Hope that helps.

You are in good company: I am even more confused than when I asked the question.

Here's the basically the same indi with more bells and whistles for your recreational enjoyment. Indis are like crack cocaine, not that I've tried any

But this code doesn't have his indi's fancy second signal line somehow (gamma or some other code). Maybe he was saying there's a Laguerre RSI in there somehow.

Octomanoak Thanks!

It really helps me. I read Your exellent user guide about waves and understand their could be buy near Tokyo open.
Turn off: Only sell near Tokyo open
Turn on: Possible buy near Tokyo open (wave 2 trade) but if the robot takes the wave 2 trade can it still take the sell (wave 3 trade) or is it just 1 trade/session?
I guess itīs a newbe question

Best wishes

Yes, if the bot takes a Wave 2 trade, it can still take a Wave 3 trade.

Long time coming tonight - TP in 4hrs 15minutes (FXDD Malta, Live Account). Saw on main thread that some folks timed out at 150minutes (for smaller profit )

Still trying to figure out DinoFX's TDI

Haven't had time to play much with bit9ret's version - bit9ret, have you traded with this version succesfully? do you just follow the alert signals it produces?

You mean you have his TDI indi working? He hasn't posted corrected code for it yet.

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

I never trade with this; just trying to be helpful. Just something I have on my system (if I remember correctly, it was taken from some variation of the TwinBlade system on FF). Do a search for it on FF.

As I said, prices have to be swinging for it to work well. In a flat or gradual trend it will repeatedly be faked out, but Dino's version may be better in these conditions.

Note the yellow shamrock on the chart is a good exit/partial exit.

Bit, at the time I wrote it, no I hadn't had chance to try to get it to work. But now I have!! I opened the code in metaeditor, and added the "space" he'd indicated in his posting between "RSI" and "Laguerre" I also downloaded the RSI Laguerre indicator from main thread (see paperclip at top of page, I think it was on the 2nd page of attachments). I loaded RSI and RSI Laguerre onto the charts, change RSI value to (2) (as it was on his screengrab). I then added the Alert Indicator he had. still nothing came up, then I restarted MT4 and it was all there.

Try it!!

Will report on experience when I get a chance to trade with it.

I wanted to post my results for the TCF bot from this past week. I had a thought last weekend about using a lower TF to trigger the trade but a higher TF to close the trade, simply because the rsi moves slower on higher TF's. I noticed that dinofx posted on the main thread with the same idea. Being I'm no coder I simply "reverse engineered" the current TCF by placing it on a 1hr chart and then setting the higher TF settings to check the 15m and 30m.

This is running on an IBFX demo with initial lot set at 0.1. My settings are:
OB 15/10/5
OS 85/90/5
RSI set to 5 for all TF's
TP set at 50

These results are not from a full week but look rather promising. I was testing with linear regression (lr) and without.
EU (w/lr) 5wins, 0 loss.....81 pips
EU (w/o lr) 33 wins, 7 losses, 2 BE.....401 pips
GU (w/lr) 6 wins, 0 loss.....130 pips
GU (w/o lr) 9 wins, 0 loss.....71 pips
EY (w/lr) 1 win, 0 loss.....43
EY (w/o lr) 4 wins, 0 losses.....169
GY (w/lr) 0 trades
GY (w/o lr) 4 wins, 0 loss.....151 pips

An increase of 21% for the week! I'm currently in a 8.7% DD because I left the bot on during the NFP (something I wouldn't do with a live account) to see how it would respond. Some or possibly all of these losses could be recouped.

I'm going to upgrade to V.3 and add AU and UCHF to the mix for next week and will also be testing with the Trend Filter on and off. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi guys,

I was trading using Original BOJ 2.2V because I didn't want to close my orders after some time and 2.4V was working fine for me.

Now I'm having a lot of multiple orders opened in my Alpari UK account, and I see that Steve have pointed some time ago that Original BOJ was open multiple orders due server failure and he would change the code in order to verify if trade was allowed before to send a new order.

I just would like to know if this issue was really fixed at new 2.4V

Thank you very much

Hi

I use Original boot with IBFX mini live account. It works exellent. 1 minilot = 0,1 standardlot. I have TpMultiplicationFactor = 20 and calculate lotzise manuellt accountbalance/2000.

But if I want the robot to calculate lotzise, what do I do? Can i just change
"NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance() / 20000" to "NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance() / 2000" ?

I see the word "mini acct" in code so maybee ther is better solutions?

Best wishes

I added code to make the robot wait when trading is not allowed for any reason. There is a function IsTradeAllowed() that can be used for this.

I do not know if this will completely cure the problem.
