hi Scoob,

i'm still looking about LagRsi and i've found something interesting from Ehlers

see: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=226154
Thanks.

I have ditched all RSI, Lag, Stoch etc.

It is now using Daily R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3 levels and Trend.

Hey Steve, checking the Monica EA you made a little boo-boo and put;

PendingOrderDeleteMins/= 10;

instead of;

PendingOrderPips/= 10;
Cheers. That is a hang-over from one of the BS robots that I adapted for this one. I will put up a fix later.

Steve, the iATR TP and SL calculation is code set for double so why can I not use 0.6? I have to put whole numbers 1, 2, etc. if I put 1.9 it just still uses 1 ??
Thanks
Declared it wrongly as an int in the Get_Atr() function. Thanks for that. Fix later.

Nice, strict professional approach, but SR are something subjective (bouncing or breaking ?) and which levels have the highest probability (need to glance at higher timeframes). Not so easy to build rules.

Man, you've tried everything but the kitchen sink. I'm guessing no indicators and pure price action is next.

Good luck!

That won't work if there are multiple EA's on the account or manual trades, and it won't necessarily get the last order for the currency.

I think you have to do the loop above starting from OrdersHistoryTotal()-1 down, looking for symbol & magic match. And check return value from OrderSelect() for success/failure!
You could just add more check order specs;
OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber && OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderProfit()>0 ....

i doubt that this is an advisable direction, however, best luck to it!

the starting structure of holy grail seems very promising actually.

I agree. THG 1.6 makes excellent entries.

SL and exit may need some attention, and also trade lockouts.

One loss may not be bad because often a good trade comes right after the SL.
But two losses in a row within a short time probably mean 'trend change', and I am thinking about a 8 hour lockout.

Yes, the entries are sound enough, we only need to fine tune those 3 or 4 EMAs or RSI 2 or 3.

Like you said, it is the other half--exits that may be further improved. Using only ATR may be merely ok. based on this, available improvements are:

1. your lockout period; also, if say, both gbpjpy and eurjpy lost in a very short period, that might implies overall JPY trend, another kind of lockout.

2. a market order + a pending order (10~15 pips away, 15~30 minute to expire), if pending order is triggered too, (it will often do), might helps overall profits.

3. a TP override routine, this may be very easy to code, and very important in live trading. there could've be more thoughts on FF on this issue. say, if we have 1*iATR(20) on H1 as TP, when TP is almost reached, the EA may detect if current momentum is strong, or previous 2 or 3 hours Hi/Lo is broken, if so, override TP for another 15 or 30 more pips (like a smart trailing stop)...... this is also often seen in intraday reversal (since this system is in fact a reversal-to-mean system).

Hi,

Hope its not a stupid question as it was also asked by another member in the "rookies" section of this forum:

According to the bot, the NextPublicHoliday is today (its 3/19 morning in Japan)

Although this date is entered in the input, the bot seems to be going ahead with the Monitoring phase and looks like it will trade the sell basket if the levels match up.

Should it be trading? Is there a holiday today or is it on 3/21?

The next holiday in Japan is 21st.

Steve,
I have a request for the 3 EMA, even though I'll be away next week.

Would it be possible to have a trading hours input. I'd like to try a couple of versions with different RSI's at different times.

Thanks

There may be a way of getting the accuracy you are looking for - but take a deep breath first

I have figured out how to do it.

Its a combination of daily pivots and the relative strength of each currencies group.

The results so far (1 day) are very promissing and the TP/SL is 2:1
