The attached defaults to not trading, so bung it on a demo and watch.

I am trying to adapt Max's label printing code so Monica displays the OB/OS/N information in rows and columns.

The UserFeedback and text printing functions are immediately below the general declarations stuff. In the pairs info display loop, I have put in the line of code if (cc == 8) break; This allows the robot to display 9 rows of pair information. This works perfectly.

Remove the break line, recompile and watch the peculiar things that happen. These start to happen as soon...
It's some weirdity with finding the labels inside the MT program. Maybe there is some overlap when you use just numbers.

This seems to fix it for unknown reasons:

Inserted Code
Label_Name = "mylabel"+DoubleToStr(row_counter,0) +"X"+ DoubleToStr(d,0);

hello Steve,

testing Monica original: as i see only 1 trade per pair is taken even if maxtradeallowed is huge, so can you make it to take a second or third trade if conditions are met (with a sleeping time after each trade ) ?

Thanks

Steve, can you double check the Half Trade close code in the Monica EA to see if it looks ok,

ie; Alert(Symbol(), " MA MACD Combo robot ", OrderType()," part-close failed with error(",err,"): ",Er

Looks like it's called but haven't noticed it triggering.

Thanks
There are a few of coding bloops there that I thought I had removed; it must have been a different robot. I will put the fix in post 1 as usual, but here it is as well to save the trip.

Matt, you are a star. I am just doing some topping and tailing; the colums make the data so much easier to read.

New version coming up any minute.

This version has the pair data neatly lined up and coloured different colours for OB/OS/N.

I realise these colours will be unsuitable for many people. Later on, I will add inputs so you can choose them for yourself - I do not have time now as I start teaching any minute now. Play around with this in the meantime.

Hi Steve, the graphics look neat but still duplicating and look to high up on chart;

No big deal for me, I turn that option off but just incase you haven't tested it yet.

I've noticed this happen too. Problem could be resolved by removing the EA from the chart and reloading it with the settings you desire. I presume a counter variable is not getting zeroed in the logic. Looks interesting so far Steve!

Here is an example of the display I use while testing many different strategies, include an updated version of Scooby's THG EA. The display is dynamic in that it allows for any number of status messages (left side of the screen) and any number of cols/rows in the "grid" on the right side. The code is completely contained in its own library file and is easy to implement. Let me know if you are interested.

Certainly sounds interesting.

By library code I assume you mean it is in .mqh file format & can be called for any EA?

By all means post it as I am sure many here will be able to use it -

Monica with pretty-coloured thingies all lined up in order and the ability to choose your own colours, is now available in post 1. Experiment with the colours to get the best one for you.

This is of no importance whatsoever if you do not care about having pretty colours and lined-up cols. In this case, there is no need to re-download as there is nothing new. Useful for future ea's though, so thanks again Matt.

If you do use the pretty version:

 

  1. Your chart should look something like the attached.
  2. The display reacts badly to having the chart tf changed - you will get a lot of duplication of the last pair in the list. Frankly, if you still change tf's whilst running an ea, then you clearly have not been reading anything that anybody has been writing about this practise in any ea thread here at FF. Do not do it, ok? You will cause chaos.
  3. If the display does not fit on your chart, then your computer resolution needs changing - probably needs a higher res.

Remember, the latest offers a better display; nothing else has changed.

@ Scooby

Interesting to see a new experiment going:

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/leno.../boj-v25/23617

Can you give us an idea of what the ingredients you are testing are? Also, can you tell us how you think we can avoid really getting knocked back on baskets that turn bad with these BOJ bots? (I appreciate there are sometimes losses with any system, but how do you think we can minimize damage when there is a basket that does not cooperate?)

Thanks!

You should know by now that Japan is the world's largest importer of Oil. If the price of oil is high then they are less likely to intervene on BUY XXXJPY baskets and likewise if the price of oil is low then they are less likely to intervene on SELL XXXJPY baskets.

So, in simple terms look at what CADJPY is doing before entering the BUY or SELL basket.

See attached include file and a sample script. Let me know if there are bugs and I will investigate them. I wrote this code for my use and the settings have been optimized for my display. I have no idea how it will look on someone else's PC.

Before running the sample script, make sure the pair array does not include any pairs your broker is missing.

Please do not request enhancements or changes (outside of bugs). I'm giving you the code so you can fine-tune it for your own needs.

At the moment CADJPY is UP so Japan does not want a weak YEN otherwise it costs them more to import OIL so you should only be looking at SELL XXXJPY baskets.

You may ofcourse get away with BUY XXXJPY baskets but they are less likely to close quickly in overall profit due to lack of intervention.

Hope this helps

Scoobs.

PS. Dont forget it's all about ECONOMICS you know.
