OK Elovv ...Also I cannot understand the pips to £'s at the moment other than to say that the actual £ total whether + or - seems to be correct according to my account balance / equity etc. Green pips = negative £ = ???? Maybe someone can enlighten us further ?
It is basic forex knowledge that differrent currency pairs have differrent pip value (i.e. not all have a pip value of $10 for standard lot). I suggest you read http://www.babypips.com/school/know_your_ps_and_ls.html.

My setting is almost same as yours, however, I use 4H TF. Please use Steve`s Schlossberg thread for discussion regarding this rbot to avoid confusion.

kin regards

Beg your pardon !! I know that pairs have different pip values, however when you have a few hundred trades to look at it is fairly difficult to make a clear interpretation. I don't give a F**k about pip values so long as I make a profit !! I started on Babypips 2 years ago thanks and I was responding to someone else's request for information, with information gleaned from Steves extremely useful tool posted in this thread.

Kind regards

P.S Analysing by each pair to see which is doing the best would be great, but this is a slow process for me as it is manual, and with so many pairs and trades to work out it will take me a good while, unless someone has a method already which doesn't require a Phd in Excel. If you do can you share it ?

OK Elovv my settings for the 2ma are:- T/F = 1 hr, Max trade = 15, Sleep after trade = 30 mins, Immediate orders = True, Jumping stop = True, JSL = 30(0), everything else as default. This robot has been running 24/7 since 15 March.

It's shown a steady rise since loaded.

Also I cannot understand the pips to £'s at the moment other than to say that the actual £ total whether + or - seems to be correct according to my account balance / equity etc. Green pips = negative £ = ???? Maybe someone can enlighten us further ?
There was a tiny mis-coding in one of the earliest versions that I corrected without saying anything because it looked as though nobody had download it. This did not affect the calculations; just the loss colours.

Downloading the most recent version from the post 1 robot zip should cure this.

I guess since I see no other posts regarding tHM, it might be only me having a problem getting it to work. I looked inside the code and it calls for:
#include <LibOrderReliable.mqh>
#include <LibGMT.mqh>
the libgmt.mqh is not found in any post so I found it in another post and added it to my include folder, but still not working?
Thanks Vince

Try this. Open a free account at http://www.mt4i.com & upload something useful. Now contact them by email and ask nicely if you can become a beta tester for their MTI Desktop software.

Assuming you get the OK, you will have a limited time to use their very good software which will really speed up analysing multiple pairs on multiple accounts.

Best of luck ...

I'm concerned that the Original bot is not working properly. I've been live FXDD since 02-09-10 and my account is back to even.

I've had 3 basket hit SL in total 2 just this week which has taken all of my gains.

The last one, last night the strength index was not even close(i uploaded a pic with a 5m time frame)

Anyone else with good results?

I have the bot set to 1st wave only short 2nd only long

candy has been taken from the baby waaaa!!!! waaaa!!!!

I went live with this two weeks ago and have had 4 trades, one of which resulted in profit. This mornings trade did look odd as other systems I am testing were indicating that the price was going to fall and yet original went ahead with a buy. Don't think anything is wrong with the bot just simply difficult trading times

Thanks Matrixebiz, I inserted that code on the demo, will wait to see if I did it right.

Cheers
Ok, but actually I don't think this will help in this situation because what mode Stop Level means is that the broker won't allow you to move/set and order SL min Mode_Stoplevel pips away from current price. So what I'm thinking is that what ever value 1/2 TP ATR was for that pair is small and the distance between orderopen price and current price didn't allow for BEP to be set. So putting that code isn't going to help anyway. Try just lowering BEP or increasing TP atr. I guess this code would only help if your using a too low Trailing Stop in an EA.

The BOJ need the YEN to be strong at the moment due to the cost of importing Oil etc.

So, BUY baskets against the YEN will end in disaster.

Can some one tell me how add on The Holy Grail code trail stop on the experts order send. I think that would be a good idea since I notice that some trades are triggered stay a few positive and hits the stop loss, than the bot trade the same pair wen the stop is hit. So the trail stop will avoid stop loss when the trade is trigger to early. any one agree ?

I think half profit or 2/3 could be a good TS

Probably easiest to use Steve's mptm - gives you any possibility you are likely to need.

Scoob do you think is a good idea to trade baskets on down trend pairs prior to tokio open and up trend pairs prior tokio close?

I think scooby means "don't sell yen", i.e. no buy XXXJPY at any time, in current conditions.

I'm a massive fan of Max's EA - but i've been using version 508b - worked fine all last week - but this week as rubbish. I attached mine to USDJPY 5m chart.

WHat time frame are you using your 503d on? WHen you say 'opposite positions' what pairs are you talking about?

I put a cryptic clue on each of them. The top one is 503d on 5M for USD/CHF(Mode 1), EUR/USD(Mode 2) and GBP/JPY(Mode 3)

The second one is 503d on 15M chart the same as the first but with MTPM on using a missing SL of 400.

I have found that 15M and 1H charts are better for Max's EA.
