Orig took it's trade tonight. In the last month, I've had three major DD events in my live account. As of tonight, I've climbed out of one of them - two more to go, then I break even.

Tonight's sell was good for 1.1% up.

The 3 ema rsi bot has made a promising start on demo.

The latest version in post 1 has the option to use it as a trade-setup alerter rather than a trader, for those of you who want to enter the trades manually. There is an input to set the maximum no of alerts so they do not drive you nuts.

I have not tested this as I want the robot to trade for me, so sing out if there is anything wrong.

I think this 3ema rsi bot has potential also. Really nice to see how it takes profit one after another. However, I do have one observation not sure whether we can cutdown wipsaw. This morning, I have EurAud hitting sl 4 times in a row within an hour. Not sure if we can try something like preventing new order from opening within the next 1 hour if it hit sl or something similar. Other than that, this EA is a whiz. http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I was just wondering if something like MinEntryATR be helpful in avoiding entries during low volatility periods?

Done, and uploaded to the zip in post 1. Thanks for this, BullRun.

SleepAfterTradeClosesMins defaults to 60; set it to zero to turn off the sleep feature. This feature makes the robot leave the relevant pair untraded, after a losing trade closure, so it should ignore winners and expired pendings.

I have not tested this, so turn into a birdy if it does not work properly; it should, because the coding is not exactly rocket science, but this is me and my brain cell at work, so you can never be certain.

I do not think so. By default, the market has to reach 90/10. Would this be likely during periods of low volatility? I do not suppose so, but am open to correction.

Steve, would just like to chime in, again, thanks mate, this 3ema bot seems to be doing pretty ok.

Cheers for all the work.

I second that Steve, was just thinking about some sort of filter to fine tune entries during consolidation phase. Apart from huge spike during news, which pushes up the markets to 90/10..I cannot think of anything else doing it during low volatility.

I am getting occasional Monica Overkill attempted pending trades throwing up invalid stops because this calculation results in the trade price, sl and tp all being the same.
Steve,

Did this issue get sorted out? I put the bot up on demo and have the same issue.

Testing this bot today too, and seen several time trades taken against the trend shown on screen. I think that trend informations on screen are not refreshed as they might.

I have taken the brutalist approach to the problem, and turned off error reporting where the error is 'invalid stops'. The version is in post 1.

Cheers. This explains why the bot has not done well today. I had not noticed as I have been busy coding the BS Sessions bot.

There will be a logic error; I will find it later on.

danmick spotted a bug in the 3 ema rsi alert not trade routine. The fix is in post 1. Nice one, danmick.

I cannot see what is wrong with the Monica Overkill logic. I have just watched it take a trade in the correct direction. Perhaps people would like to keep an eye on this and do the birdy bit if they spot anything wrong.

Cheers zoogle. I missed this post, somehow. Sorry. I have solved that problem in a different way.

My most recent post addresses someone posting that the robot had taken a trade in the wrong direction.

Steve,
Can you double check your code on the new 3ema bot? I don't think its getting the 20 period h1 ATR for TP/SL correct.
I just dropped it into action and it immediately took a trade on GU. When I check the h1 ATR20 for GU, it shows 30 pips currently. Which should mean sl is set to 30 pips, tp is set to 60 pips. The trade just opened has a sl of 5.5 pips, and the tp is 11.2. Maybe atr reading on 5 digit criminal is a bit flawed? Not sure.
Thanks for lookin at it
