Steve,

I'm trying to understand bot logic better by looking at the code.

In the 3 EMA RSI bot the trend code you have is:

double EMA_25 = iMA(symbol,NULL,25,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double EMA_50 = iMA(symbol,H01,50,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double EMA_100 = iMA(symbol,H04,100,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

But in the logic scooby laid out there it was (for long) - 25 EMA > 50 EMA > 100 EMA on H1 only.

It looks like you're checking the ema 50 on H1 and ema 100 on the H4. The ema 25 is on the current chart I'm guessing.

Is there a reason why the ema checks aren't allon the H1?

Thanks Steve,

Sandy

They should be on just H1.

Thanks Scooby. Steve's version is taking some nice trades. Wondered if he changed the trend logic for a reason.

Maybe consider closing half the position at say +15, that way you one need one steel ball ?

All ema's are checked on the chart time frame; the robot is time-frame dependent. I have coded the logic as I read it; so sing out if this is wrong.

There is no BE functionality in the robot, so users wanting this need to use mptm. I can always add this if the robot turns out to have any legs.

Cool. Another Bot to play with!
Just dropped this on a G/J 1Hr chart. Watching with interest.
Maybe you should re-name this thread 'The EA Factory'.

Hi Steve,

The scooby trend logic was to check the 3 EMAs (25, 50, 100) on H1. The trend logic in the EA is checking the 50 ema on H1, the 100 ema on H4 and the 24 ema on the current chart TF (I think).

Just checking to see if that was intended. Or maybe I'm misreading the code?


EA Trend code:

double EMA_25 = iMA(symbol,NULL,25,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double EMA_50 = iMA(symbol,H01,50,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);
double EMA_100 = iMA(symbol,H04,100,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

Thanks!

Sandy

Fellow Scooby fans: If you have not noticed already, Sooby has THG 2.3 running on MyFXBook. Link in his sig is:

THG v2.3 System | Myfxbook

Nice start so far this week.

@ Scooby: After last week started out well on the Monday, can you give us an idea of how things progressed in general. Was it a successful week?

There were 2 bugs in v2.3 which I have corrected, hence the testing has re-started.

Once I am sure it is working to my specs then I will release it. Not before.

I had an hour to spare, so I automated this. Scooby-doo 3 Ema Rsi auto trading robot is in the post 1 zip.

As usual, all I had to do was adapt an existing bot, so I might have left a few inaccuracies lying around. Sing out if you find bugs.

Steve,
I tried on demo and works fine but on Live a/c it says" robot disabled. change trade comment". So what do I do? BTW I did change the magic no.

if(TrendLong && !osCond && RS1_M15<os && RS1_M15<os && RS1_M15<os ) {osCond=true; obCond=false;}
if(osCond && LagM05[0]>0.2 && LagM05[1]<0.2) BuyFunction;

if(TrendShort && obCond && RS1_M15>ob && RS1_H01>ob && RS1_H4>ob) {obCond=true; osCond=false}// we are looking for shorts only
if(osCond && LagM05[0]<0.8&& LagM05[1>0.8) SellFunction;
After watching the Laguerre for a few weeks now, I don't like the 0.8 and 0.2 levels for OB/OS on M5. It is too volatile around those levels. The Laguerre likes to go to the extremes (> 0.95 and < 0.05) and then sit there for a while. FWIW, my implementation is as follows (Long example):

OS Condition
----------------
Trend is up on H1: EMA(25) > EMA(50) > EMA(100) > EMA(200)
M15, H1, and H4 RSI(3) < 20
M5 Laguerre(0.5) < 0.05

Once the OS conditions are met, you enter a buy when M5 Laguerre(0.5) > 0.15

@ Scooby

Thanks for the update. I appreciate your integrity in not wanting to release something that is not 100% up to your standards. I was not pushing for a release, just curious about how it had been performing. Anyway, it will be interesting to follow it.

@ZZBRN

I think that is a very valid point and I like the idea of waiting for it to go to an extreme and then catching it as it comes out. Much more sophisticated coding than Mr. Invisible can do though .

Under the magic number is another line.. called Trade Comment. that is the one the bot wants you to change.

Hi Steve, just wondering if you could fix the comment display as it doubles up pairs if I change settings and also lists a bunch of old pairs I removed.
Thanks

You can't use this on a live account yet; there might be bugs.

You probably have to make changes, save the set file, reload the robot and load the set file. There is stuff in init() that appears to confuse robots if changes are made in the normal way.

No idea why this happens.

same trade criteria as 1.6 / charvo, with one minor tweak.

With programming & reliability improvements, and bug fixes.

Notes to programmers:

* If you do a loop with OrdersTotal(), do < OrdersTotal(), not <= OrdersTotal()

* Immediately after placing a trade, the OrderSelect() selecting by positions can fail to show recently added positions! (MT4 server bug) This means that you can get improper multiple trades, because the EA logic will see that conditions are fulfilled and there is no existing open trade. Solution is to save ticket number of opened trades. Criterion for new trades: check by BOTH non-existence by ticket number AND position.

This is not a theoretical concern. It happened to me on demo today. Glitches like this are substantially more frequent on live vs demo.

I suggest that reliable EA's use this logic.
