scooby-doo BOJ JPY pairs trading robot

I just use the default setting for the time at PST. Sorry, I guess I should have clarify this point. I have used other time but they all have the same problem of losing so I just kept the default too lazy to adjust after a while. It survived the hell of a run without a scath. If it loses, that is fine, I have a good risk reward ratio hopefully that will pull it back up in 2 bounce.

can some coder help me to add trail stop on holly grail bot?

Hi Scoobs,

Have not heard for awhile on progress of your "special edition" bot. I see the myfxbook link shows "deleted by creator."

Just checking in a couple of results for bots I am retiring.

They may be profitable with other settings & may be revisited later.

1. Asian Breakout
2. The Big Lewinsky

I was unable to obtain good results with either bot. Although, it may be a matter of finding the right settings.

Perhaps someone who is getting good results will post their settings and we can see if that can be further improved.

A *consistently* unprofitable robot is a candidate for an inversion. Sell instead of Buy, and reverse TP/SL.

Let's give it a whirl. Here is TBL with the trade direction reversed, and defaulting to tighter tp's and stops.

the Big L went both ways. Pippo

often it is due to the spread cost instead of ill trading rules.

if this EA is trading only eurusd with 2 pips spread but tp/sl at least 30~50, then maybe reverse is helpful.

however, for many EAs of this thread, they are trading multiple pairs with 7~10 pips spread. the spread cost often occupy more than 50% of a price movement (because of spreads for both IN and OUT). Only holy grail, only holy grail can make it.

Scooby, what you think about new UK govenament? off course in a economical focus...

From an economic point of view it should be good.

However, their decisions are going to be very unpopular because of the deficit reductions they will need to introduce asap.

The outgoing government have lied about the level of debt/borrowing on a scale with Greece.

My best guess estimate is 15 to 20 years to pay it off whoever is in government.

Unemployment will rise considerably especially amongst the public sector work force. I would think that there will be around 3.5 Million unemployed by Chrsitmas. Currently stands at 2.51 Million.

After I presented Monica's legs to charvo, she dumped me. No more pips, nada.
Betrayed, I remembered all the Dog's teachings and that made it for me. I was a man on a mission: to find the ladies and make them show me their legs. But first I needed to talk to Steve's lady's man, mptm. He gave too many options, I chose the easiest path. Number one in the list was Sakae, a laborious gal working at BOJ. She introduced me to her cousins and what a surprise, Monica was there, and she smiled back. Now they have my attention and I have their legs.

My only request is to make ladies place the order at the end of the criteria selected for entry, not the beginning, see the attached chart.

Here are many people that can improve the settings, for the bots and specially of the mptm, to avoid the winners turn into losers. Please help.


Best regards and many pips to all

I am testing a new incarnation of the BOJ method.

Its early days as I only started it running today.
