Did you not change it at all today? Steve's updated post 1 twice now...
And a third time now.

Still not even the slightest hint of the vaguest glimmer of a hope that I might one day actually get the correct trading code, so I have addressed something I can do.

NB will now check every 4 hours that the Criminal's Legal Extortion Racket (i.e.'swap') does not cause a Recovery tp recalculation to be necessary. If it is, the bot should update the tp.

That is fantastic work!

On another note, Steve can you clarify when recovery enters a trade? I can't for the life of me figure out if it is by the tick of the price or by the closed price of the candle or some other vodoo?

Steve,
Just wanted you to know that #2 is entering correctly now with the update. Last four trades were spot on with entry.

Good Evening Steve,
After reading your last post I thought I'd give you an update on this bot.......NBob V5 Auto-Trader has been on my new demo unit by itself since the first of August. It started out on a $5000 demo account and is now up to $7641.98.....
The only thing I've ever done to it is put in all the updates and drop in on it around this time every evening (start of the Tokyo session)......My kind of bot....plenty of time for naps...
Since my broker deletes the account history every month I can only give you a graph of this month.....

Have a great evening...

That is awesome. It shows the power of the trading method that a slightly incorrectly-coded bot can be so successful.

I have it on a tiny live account - one of those eglobal cent accounts where the deposit looks as though it is 10 times as big as it actually is. The starting point of just over $3 is now worth about $3.60, so that represents a decent rate of return.

Hi Whip,

If you set up an account (free) with one of the online stats sites like myfxbook.com or mt4i.com then they will automatically keep your trades even after your broker has reset your history - very useful IMHO

max does your newest bot reflect the fixed EA#2 logic?
yours seem to open an awful lot of #2 trades and they go into drawdown fast, I surmise they might suffer from the same logic issue as Steve's if your code is derived from his.

I have both of your bots (max and steve) running side by side, FASCINATING to see them, and they are both PROFITABLE! CHEERS!

Thanks Macman,

Hey Maxi,

Just wondered if you were making any progress on your program. I look forward to testing it when you have the recovery working. Thanks!

max is the logic for the #2 EA in your bot the same as the one steve had in his? if so, i think its faulty and needs updating - i believe that *is* the case because my latest version of your bot opens plenty of #2 trades but they are WAY early and go into immediate and prolonged drawdown...see pic

Boy am I glad Scooby gave that headsup on the Yen. Last night decided to do some news catchup and read that the BOJ was going to try to lower the Yen back around its average. I looked at alot of the jpy paired charts and they all seemed prime for a reversal which was contradictory to the news reports. Anywho, decided it was best to turn off the EA on 1 demo and leave it on the other. Woke up this morning to see the EA I left running to be over 230 pips on DD.

Hey Hiredwhip - awesome results.

Can i confirm, you did not have the EA running 24/5 and you used the 4H timeframe? Those are a lot of trades for a 4H timeframe.

Steve... I have applied the #2 ea to EurAud and it took the trade on the manual system. I have the Auto Ea applied to this pair as well (different account all together) and it didn't take a #2 trade. Shouldn't have these trades been taken at the same time?

Nice. Question though - you have three largish losses - how did those trades get closed? Manually?

That's the difference between a robot and manual trading for you.

Hi Odysseus,
Would you mind posting a template, indicators and the EA for Max that is actually taking trades. I'm a dope sometimes when it comes to EAs....and I just cannot get max's to trade...Sept 6 was the last trade. Steve's is trading just fine.
Cheers
