Matt spotted a flaw in the big number detection logic. This does not affect the robot if you are only trading EU. If you plan trying other pairs, then the re-download is essential.

Steve Hopwood's BS Round Number multi-pair is born.

Can't be bothered writing a system doc. View the video and consult octomanoak's user guide if there is anything you don't understand.

Steve,

How will the BS robots behave if one manually closes a trade at half-close, closes the second half of a trade or just closes the whole order?

In watching the bots, I can see where there might be occasions where a manual close of all or part of a trade might enable one to take more money off the table.

They will move the stop to break even. They will only close part of a trade if the open lot size = the robot's Lot input.

Anyone any trades on either Asian Break Out or 10 a day this week. Having both traded well last week, I reloaded the amended 10 a day on monday night and haven't had a trade. Asian breakout which did well for me last week hasn't traded at all.

Managed to test 2ma macd today for a bit in work - going to load it onto my vps tonight and let it loose. I'll keep you posted on any results.

5 min momo on 1 hr chart since Monday night
full close 46 trades 35 winners for $15.41
half close 73 trades 62 winners for $15.79

The 10 a day has not traded since the 2 previous updates

My 10 a day hasn't either. I will look at the code to make sure the update is coded correctly.

Thank You for Your comments about 2macd combo robot. I have tested it before with 4 hour chart. Not many trades and a long way to take profit. First week equity whas up 10%, next week down to -2%. I will have a test on 1 hour chart and jumping stop.

Hi Steve

Just put 2ma macd robot on a fresh Ibfx demo. It immediate opened 8 trades. Price whas more than 10 pips abow/below closest SMA but Macd has been positive/negative much more than 5 bars.

So their must be something wrong.

I started testing this yesterday and fairly quickly took up a sell position on gj. This position sunsequently closed this morning at 11:50. I have my sleep setting at 30 mins and 30 mins later at 12:20 it took up another sell position on gj. My understanding of the rules, according to the book, are that as MACD was already negaitve we should wait for the next MACD signal, therefore I should't have taken another trade yet.

Rules for a Short Trade
1) Wait for the currency to trade below both the 50 SMA and 100 SMA.
2) Once the price has broken below the closest SMA by 10 pips or more, enter short if MACD crosses to negative within the last five bars; otherwise, wait for next MACD signal.
3) Initial stop set at five-bar high from entry.
4) Exit half of the position at two times risk, move the stop to breakeven.
5) Exit remaining position when the price breaks back above the 50 SMA by 10 pips.

I am not sure whether this is a coding error or not as I am an analytical type of person who can often pick up on this type of thing but when it comes to coding I haven't got a clue, yet. But I am working on that.

.........................................................................

Just noticed (see screenshot) that the MACD for GJ went positve 0.001 and then back to negative although the indicator window didn't show this. I wonder if the problem I have highlighted above has occured as I have the setting Only Trade At New Candle set to false.

Steve,

I've just started to look at this. Regardless of the time I put, It always says the Asian session is open, and its near 11 p.m. here/japan.

Tks.

I'm not sure this bot is following the rules either.

Trades should be triggered when price is above/below both moving averages, with a 10 pip move above/below the closest moving avarage with a MACD cros within the last 5 bars.

The attached chart shows a EurCad long trade that was opened when price was between the two moving averages. Price had not been above both moving averages nor had the MACD crossed within the last 5 bars.

Mine just took a sell EurCad with MACD positive. No...it is not following the rules when entering trades.

I have looked at the code and cannot see anything wrong.

Look at the attached pic of an eurcad trade from 6.55 am on 5th April, highlighted in the trades window.

The turquiose line marks the first macd histogram to be checked for a cross. The pic indicates the robot is checking back 1 bar too many, so I have added a fix for that.

That apart, everything looks ok.
