@ Scooby

You may want to remove your email addy once Matthew has contacted you and before you get a tidal wave of spam emails and "please trade my account for me" requests.

Not bad for the first week of trading.

Trades = 61
Wins = 59
Losses = 2
ROI = 19.37%
Pips = 1253.7

Lets see what next week brings.

Good work, Scoobs.

It got hammered big time loosing around 6% in one day.

Logic has now changed and will test this week.

Yes.
After the experience the Monica's bot gave me, I'm reviewing the rsi/ma bots of this thread against all the notes that I have. Fine tuning at the moment.

Hi All,
First of all thanks to Steve and Scoobs for their generosity and tireless efforts.
I just wanted to update any readers who may have been following along and possibly running the original BOJ 2.4 bot.

I began running the 2.4 original BOJ on an IBFX demo account back in Feb.
It did well, then hit some serious drawdown. In line with some suggestions here, I adjusted the TP and stoploss levels to provide for more favorable R/R since the good trades seemed to run for far longer than initial TP captured, and SL gave up too much - anyway, a little fiddling and trial and error. Here are my results since February, I made the adjustments towards the end of April:

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/odys...strategy/18984

One caveat, I did have a "phantom" profit of about $25k due to loss of net connection for the better part of a day (during which my position couldnt close and it went in my favor for about an extra $25k or so).

That said, I still consider a 4 month so far trial with 20% gains per month on average and drawdown of 15% to be pretty spectacular, so I just want to present this for anyone out there who may have become disillusioned with BOJ when it hit a rough patch (using original parameters).

The set file I use is attached just change the extension from .txt to .set after downloading

Thank you Odysseus. I'll give the bot another try inspired by your results. I think the strategy is brilliant. I always felt it was a matter of finding the right settings. Hopefully you've accomplished that!

I wrote this EA on Friday and in 2 hours it made 3% with minimal DD.

Anyway, put it on a demo account and see how you get on.

It has been coded for 5 digit non ECN broker so you will need to adjust the Trailing and Slippage variables.

It uses a combination of EMA crosses and RSI to signal trades.

Have fun.

New version.

if we have an open BUY/SELL order and there is a reverse signal and OrderProfit() < 0 meaning TS has not been able to kick in then the order is closed.

You can put it on any TF but it will only look at the TF's in the external inputs tab.
