I could not resist Boris's 10 a day scalper, so Steve Hopwood's BS 10 a day multi-pair is available from post 1. Details in the trading systems zip.

Today i have little problem with SL at momo5m multi. SL setting is aggressive (5 bars back?) but many SLs was smaller (see picture for example). Broker IBFX.
Thank you for answer.

A really useful couple of posts Lopuch. Thanks.

When I went to the 2ma macd combo robot to get the code to correct the problem described by Lopuch, I saw that it actually had the same bit of miscoding.

Re-downloads of both 5mm and 2ma macd is essential. The bug Lopuch spotted is huge.

Just a quick note regarding 10 a day. The pdf file shows sl = 10 and tp = 7 but these are the other way around in the default settings.

Have just finished the bs books - brilliant.

Having read the BS books I decided to start slowly and loaded up the pure trend trader on a 1 hr chart. I'm not sure if the gap in opening yesterday had any affect but I have attached a screenshot from tonight as I would have thought it should have placed an buy at the latest after the sixth bar since it may have had to re-enter the buy zone having started above it on opening.

Anyone else running this and having similar problems?

Yes, they are fantastic.

Re this post, I see you have already learned to double/triple check everything I do. This is a good plan, cos I am an idiot with an unrivalled ability to muck things up.

The version in post 1 has the defaults fixed. The rest of you, remember to make the change.

Cheers Paul.

Paul and Lopuch, you are added to my 'buddy' list and so can post in scoobs' thread if you want to.

I hope this does not sound condescending. This was not my intention, just wanting to let you know that you can.

OK, going to stop digging now.

To be honest Paul, I cannot remember how this system trades. It failed early on so nobody else is using it, so far as I know. I leave it in the xip in case anyone can make it work for them.

Hmm, with due respect to the unspeakable. The trade times on the 5 momo no longer related to PC clock?

Yes, with time is small problem. Steve have GMT personal time. I have personal time GMT + 2 (or GMT +1), my brokers have GMT, another GMT + 2, etc. In momo bot we adjust broker time in relation to our personal time. Very good solution for timing problem have autor HolyMackerel EA.
I mean momo5 is very good system, and this can be next point for Mr. Steve.
Oh and thank you Steve for voucher.

3 trades on 10 a day today (Alpari UK Demo) and all hit tp. I am also testing 5min momo and asian breakout. Last two days 5min momo 50 trades 44 profit 6 losses. Asian breakout 30 trades 24 profit 6 losses. I had been using the half close on 5 min momo but have changed that tonight to full close as it was suggested earlier in the thread that this might lead to more profit. My thoughts so far on 5 min momo is that it has potential but my losses were big compared to wins and therefore need to have a high %age of profitable trades and/or tweak my settings.

PS Thanks Steve for vouch

Paulbt38 you're 5 mim momo is doing better than mine this week. I've had 83 closed trades, all full and there's been 33 losses. All last weeks gains are gone and I'm back to starting balance !! The markets seem to be whipsawing about this week but we'll wait and see how it goes.

On a higher note, the 2ma macd sems to be steadily increasing it's profits and is less affected by the whipsawing so fingers crossed it keeps up the good work.

Anyone with good results on the 5 min momo this week so far ?

Steve can you please look at asian breakout? Last days is without trades - at screen i see High Low only for A/U. Another pairs are at zero.
Thank you.

You have either changed time frames or altered the inputs with the robot running.

This is never a good idea. If you need to change the inputs, always make the changes, save the set file, cancel the changes, reload the robot and load the saved set file.

Never change tf's whilst a robot is running.

I have added a Sunday candle filter to 2ma macd and 5mm. Defaults to no trading. Post 1 as usual.
