I spend Sunday travelling around villages in rural England, giving piano lessons to glorious kids in glorious surroundings. It is a wonderful way to spend the day.

On my travels, I realised I had approached the multi-pair thingy in the wrong way, buy trying to adapt an existing single trader to take multiple trades, rather than, say, ADR_OS_OB to take trades here.

I shall look at this again this week.

We always complain of rain and bad weather in England but one thing we forget is that without the rain we would not have the lush greenery that has carpeted this land. it is inspiring.

I do not know anything about coding, but it seemed strange that you created another master piece (SCOOBY TREND RETRACEMENT ROBOT) EA without much effort or hassle, but could not do the same multi pair here. I posted couple times on the BOJ thread, asking if anyone has looked into this and not one reply!!! Maybe they are too busy with other major BOTs. For your information attached file is test result of the last two weeks. Another Hopwood Master Piece.

Kindest regards

Cheers. I put the bot on one of my eglobal cent accounts but withdrew it after it immediately did nothing but lose for a week. Not sure where this leaves it.

As to the 2ma multiple-pair thingy, I started to adapt one of my other multiple-pair robots tonight. It will take me a few days to get this up to scratch because it really is complicated to do, but I will be able to get a workable robot by the end of the week.

Thank you so very much for the quick response. I believe this will make this strategy much more flexible in the future. (eg. when trialing it live).

Trading 5 Min Momo
People, i am getting an alert message

GBPUSD 1 order send failed with error(130): invalid stop

From my other thread reading, this is a problem with my broker not allowing the trade? Do i have this information correct?.... I am using Go Markets (Aust) they say they are not an ECN just a special STP...whatever!

Is there anything i should be doing to fix this?

No idea apart from signing up with a broker the ea does work with. No idea what a special STP is.

I think an 'ordinary' STP is a straight through processor. Don't remember what it means. That is to say, I have read what it means but do not remember. Nor do I care, frankly.

As to the 'invalid stop' error, practically anything causes this. Pending price too close to market; sl too close to price; tp too close to price; criminal in a bad mood; a vowel in the month - you name it. It amazes me sometimes that these crims actually trade anything at all.

Sorry. Not in an especially good mood tonight.

Good Morning Steve,
If you get a chance could you check the trailing stop on the momo. If I've read this correctly it starts at 15 for a 4 digit crook. GJ M5 chart good example.

Thankz......whip


P.S. I have not seen it working since Sun start

Please Help,
The 5min momo bot is going crazy. It has taken hundreds of trades in the last few minutes and many more pending.

See statement attached.

Earlier all i was getting was continual error messages, 130, 146 and once or twice "old tick" but no trades.

So i deleted the bot used the mt4 cleaner, rebooted and started all over again downloading.

Any thoughts?
Is this happening to anyone else?

Also, i reloaded the newest version on p.1 which was different to the one i was using.

Hi

I am not using the 5min MOMO but the latest 2sma MACD and it is running fine with exception of double trade closure which is my own mistake for having the mptm on at the same time, therefore once the ROBOT was splitting the trade and once mptm. I do not know what is goinf on here, it seems your mt4 gets stuck in a loop. All I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall the mt4 or run the BOT on another platform and see if you get the same poblem.

Kind Regards

If trying to close but too many things happening you must disconnect to internet connection, thus stopping mt4 receiving any more TICKS. once internet is disconnected then close the EA, etc.

Hi Steve,
My bad on the trailing stop for this bot. I just saw it move on the GJ trade. I've got my numbers wrong somewhere. I'm back to rereading #1 of High Prob Trading Setups....Sorry about that, I'm just going to have to take the beating.

Not to worry. By the time I read all this, you had spotted the problem and solved it.

That is the kind of problem I like.

This highlights neatly why the criminals provide us with the mt4 platform for free. It is crap and there is every chance that a malfunction will separate us from our cash.

Keeping up with this dimbo platform is a game.

Ok, I have added a 10 second sleep after the 5mm robot sends a trade. No, it won't work because the platform is crap and the criminals will find a way around it. It is the best I can do.

Hi Steve,
Have a question....Any chance you can get some time, would you add the time function the 5 min momo has to the 2sma macd combo. I'd like to get both around the dead zone. I think it would also help the combo bot.

Also have an observation.....I'm sitting here watching the spread on the Guppy run from 10 to 3. Aside from the fact that that should be punished with jail time, you are also losing your shirt on the other pairs with low spreads. You already pick up the spread on each pair traded why not just add 5 to each spread and have an individual PendingOrderPips setting. It would stop those 130 error invalid stop messages and allow all pending orders at a reasonable price. I thought I saw you do that once before.......Just a thought from an old manual trader........

I have copied the code across from 5mm under the affluence of incohol. Would you check that the robot is working correctly, please, before I put it into the zip in post 1?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for taking a look at this....My bottle of Glenlevit is down alittle also and my limited code capacity(CNC Mach) It looks like I'm going to remark out alot to get this to work. I know I'm not using ADR on the combo bot. We may want to try this in the AM.

Hi Steve,

i have noticed some discrepencies in the 5 min momo strategy in the ebook and some pending orders sent for trading.

* Rule no 2 in the ebook says to "make sure that the MACD is either in
the process of crossing from negative to positive OR have crossed into positive territory no longer than 5 bars ago.

I will post a chart as an example.

2 pending orders to to go long at 91.66 at 11.15am (i have drawn the red vertical line at that point)
I count that it was the 20th positive macd bar.

Is it possible to fix this?

warm regards,

Good Morning Steve,
The version of the combo bot that you posted last night is way different than anything so far. A little advice on the setup would be very helpful. Thankz for this.....

Hi Steve,

With the 5 min momo, I think the pending order delete setting should be reduce from 60 mins to around 30 mins.

Seems some of the set ups are no longer valid but are about to be triggered due to the 60min timeframe on a 5 minute chart. GBPUSD, GBPJPY

Thank you

HI Steve

NEW MULTIPAIR 2SMA MACD ADR BB ROBOT

Can you please let us know how much you had to drink and what was it. The reason being that we want some as well. It is very good idea to combine SMA with MACD and then a dash of ADR and Bollinger Bands has never hurt anyone anyway. I am putting it on demo and it may surprise us.

CHEERS
P.S. If this works it will be the greatest master piece yet and you can rename it EPSILON MEGASTAR.
