Hi all,

I am back from New York and had a lot of nice time in these city.

I read the post and see that some of you continue to test max 5xx robots.
From my side, I still have different version on demo and I must say the equity didn't growed so much. All the demo accounts have been started with 100k, and now they are between 98k and 103k (3 weeks demo)

For Charvo, Middle Eastern, Viv108 ...;
I didn't recommand to use the 508c since old versions have many bugs.
You should use the 526.
Look at revision history and you will understand. Moreover it's these version that give the best results on demo.

Due to a new business I have to carefully develop and care, I will have rarely time in the coming weeks (or even months) to develop this bot .
But I hope some of you will make a nice use of it. On request, I will wash the code of useless parts and add some comments for better understanding.

Hi Max,

Have been testing 525c for the last few weeks - interesting result. Not yet in profit but getting closer.

I am thinking of reviewing the results after a couple of months and throwing out the worst performing pairs.

Thanks for the great coding -

I have added code so that Her Ladyship will close a trade if the OB/OS status reaches the opposite extreme - a buy will close when all are overbought etc.

At least, this is what should happen. Given my proven ability to produce bugs, anything might happen.

I'm not here to discourage people but here's my findings:

With my experiences with IBFX, Forex.com, Alpari and MIG, both demo and live forward tests with the same EA gave me different results. EA seemed profitable on DEMO but once on LIVE, the money in the account was gone for good. Period.

The above was expressed with a general view in mind.

I second this. It is the old story about different feeds. Im running THG 1.6 in Alparis both demo and live; results are ALMOST the same, but the EA behaves differently: different entries, sometimes 5-10 minutes apart, what leads to different SLs and TPs and thus different closings. Obviously, the demo performed better and faster.

As a rule of thumb, I do my testing first on demo, then live with 0.01 lots to minimize (minimise, for you brits) eventual losses, and only then rise the bets.

Maxou, welcome back.

Thanks for the code, it's tremendous efforts.

Have you got my PM? see this code "if(digits==2 ||digits==3 || digits==5) {vpoint=10*point; Mdig=10;}", it looks like a bug to me. Also in "With Time Management", the timezone setup seems fit only european traders. These issues are not seen with version 50x. So for trading purpose, 50x might be safer.

Could you please add notes to this timing part so that i know how to code auto adjustment for testing? or just code the way you want and leave it for us to test it for some days. one thing you should be aware is that it is an achievement to stay NOT LOSING in positions for three weeks. usually, most systems just lose and lose. this system might just need one more tweak to get positive, or without any tweak but just one or two more weeks. So i hope you can add some documenting notes to the EA, so that we can continue working on them. versions since 52x really elude me. The logic of exiting and timing is especially confusing, if you can shed some lights there.

edit: added, another bug:
if (Mode1UseStochRSI ==true)
{
//RsiTF0_rsi =calcStochRSI(Pair,period0,0,5,8,3);
}

I hate these motherffffkers. now i feel more agreed why Steve call them criminals.

we do have option to elevate RSI to next level, say:
4H-->D1
...
5min-->15min

however, forward testing will be very time consuming, and backtests may be more appropriately to evaluate a strategy. hoho

I am having somewhat the same results, however I am in profit now.
My trading with 525c was started on 3/9 with a 5k account
as of right now the balance is 19,343 with a floating open loss of 11,695 with current equity at 7650. So if i shut it down right now over 50% gain on the account.
Interested to see if anything has been enhanced with 526. I know there are some issues that could help, such as I see a ton of trades closed at 0 gain, just adding a BE+ could do wonders.
Guess I'll fire up a second fresh one with 526 now to see what I can see.

Steve, was wondering if you could take this a step further?
Could you set an input whether to close on opposite rsi (true or false)
(have saved the previous version bot just in case)
And also maybe which timeframes RSI we wish to use for the exit?

Done and uploaded to post 1. CloseTradesOnOppositeRsi is the relevant input.

Not without adding a shed load of extra inputs. Let's see what happens for now.

I hope that Steve doesn't mind, but I'm attaching the modified version of Monica that closes when opposite RSI signals are received. I'm still testing this and can't say for sure if the EA closes on the selected opposite signals, but feel free to have a go.

NOTES:
1. I've modified the default LOT size from Steve's original - make sure that you are comfortable with this even on demo
2. There is a switch called UseOppRSIToClose. When set to true, it will use the following to determine when to close the trade. Defaults are:
Close_Rsi_M1=true;
Close_Rsi_M5=true;
Close_Rsi_M15=true;
Close_Rsi_M30=true;
Close_Rsi_H1=true;
Close_Rsi_H4=false;
Close_Rsi_D1=false;
Close_Rsi_W1=false;
Close_Rsi_MN1=false;
3. You may need to play around with the other settings to stop the standard ATR TP from kicking in - maybe set Atr_TP_Multiplication_Factor to equal 20 rather than the default of 2.
4. Monica's Twin uses a different MagicNumber than Monica (not quite a Twin then!) so you can run them side-by-side.

I won't be around much the next week or so, so support will be limited but I'll do my best.

Cheers,
Nick.

I am sorry I vouched for you now, because it means I cannot do so again.

You are a star. Here is what I have done:

 

  1. Copied your code over mine and added the lot as a replacement in the post 1 zip, so your version does not get lost.
  2. Added a bit of screen feedback.
  3. I have moved your function to suit myself in the code and added a couple of comments as I like to do. I have also added acknowledgements of your contribution as comments within the code.
  4. Added your name to the 'honours board' in post 1.
  5. Added a link to your post in post 1 so that users can quickly see what the inputs are.

I ask for one favour only. If you work further on your code, can you use the post 1 version so I don't have to replace anything that I have added, such as the screen feedback.

Thanks a million. I really appreciate what you have done.

Hehe. Just put Monica on a demo and she took a trade quickly. I forgot to change the trade comment - love it. I think I shall leave this as the default just to confuse newbies.

I went live with the modified version on 29th. inst. 36 hrs now. The a/c has grown by 5%. very few small losses. Now that all important news are forthcoming so I took it out for the week.

I can add trend auto-detection a la the trend retracement robot if anyone wants it.

Steve, just a gentle reminder, when you get a moment, would you add the trend detection to the Original BOJ bot?

I know many of you are havng a love affair with the mesmerizing Monica, but Boris is mighty good-looking too if you haven't given him a good look.

Mine hit stop loss on FXDD demo and still open with hedging on Forex.com demo, but will probably hit stop loss.
