scooby-doo BOJ JPY pairs trading robot

Put it up on demo to start up Monday.

Thanks Scoobs.

Thanks Scooby. Interested to see what the details of the method is in the code as well. Cheers!

Scoobs,
that bot is throwing up an "expert disabled" message on the screen - ????

Odysseus

Same thing is happening to me too.

I presume that means it is outside the trading window for the bot. It probably does not trade 24 hours.

Mine is trading. I am wondering if (after more testing) this might be worth having Steve's MPTM manage the trades as a basket. We shall see. Anyway, first trades have all zoomed off into profit so a nice start.

The bot will not trade on Sunday LOCAL SYSTEM TIME.
IT should start trading on monday 00:00 LOCAL time.

Scoobs, probably the time restriction code should use the GMTShift input, so that it can start trading when the market opens after the week-end ?
That would be on sunday 23:00 for GMT+1 i think (or maybe 22:00 ? depends on daylight savings too probably...), but much earlier on sunday for US timezones, right ?

Man, we are falling into those local/gmt/broker time issues all the time, this is giving me headaches!


SQ.

In my opinion it is not a good idea to trade the Sunday candle open as you get false market spikes until the market has settled down.

Scoobs.

Hi Scoobs,

Thanks for the EA.

I have noticed that it sets a trailing stop on all trades because the TrailingStop function doesn't check the magic number. I think the code should look similar to:

for(int d = 0; d < OrdersTotal(); d++)
{
if(OrderSelect(d,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
{
if(OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
{

Cheers

Hi Scoobs,

Fix below:

Sq

Scoobs,

When it says "Expert Enabled", does it mean it is working as intended? I've attached to GBPJPY M15 since market opens today and no action yet.

No error message in either Expert or Journal tab.

Please download again as I fixed the bug in close order function.

Scoobs.

Scoobs,

Will do. Thanks again.

Will the MTF Scalper modify any trades of EURUSD? Well, I've got message as below:

I thought it only trades XXXJPY pairs.

I am sure i have two different magic numbers for different EAs.

It trades 15 pairs which you can find in the Pairs[] line at the begining of the code.

Basically they are the JPY, EUR and USD pairs minus the NZD ones because they tend to have stupid spreads and spike far too often for retail trading.

You only need to attach the EA to one chart.

There is a change I need to make because the TrailingStop function will trail all open trades regardless if this EA placed the trades or not.

I will do this sometime tomorrow as I have a big commercial trading day ahead and I need to get me bonus up before the end of the month so I can go looking for a new car.

Scoobs.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Will just wait for your new version then.

Oops, really wish you success and get TWO new cars, one for daily use and the other one for hanging with gals.....

Victor

I have already ordered the new R8 SPYDER which should do for both.

Scoobs.

Scoobs,
Could you please let us choose the pairs for this scalper. My broker has fixed spread of 1 pip for main 6 (Eu, Gu, Au, Uj, Uchf and ucad) for the rest they r horrible. The 1st trade this robot took was Eur/Aud which has 15 pips spread. Not a scalper's delight exactly.
But it can be on the pairs I mentioned.
Vinesh

Dear Thread,

May I ask---politely---is anyone really making money with this strategy?

Thanks so much, and sorry for any bother,

Lenoxer

oops, I just re-read scoobs post where it says NON ECN broker. No wonder why it's not trading. Time to open a different demo...

Fixed problem with Trailing function.

Please re-download.
