"The Beast with BIGGER Balls", you mean ?
ok, that was easy...

BWB just made me 141 bucks in just 11 minutes (0.1 lot)

BWB also checks that yesterday's D1 Rsi was in the right direction as well, trying to avoid Rsi 'chop' at the boundaries.


Steve,
Can you code the robot to checkout what will be tomorrow's RSI too? It will make everyone's life much easier!

You might want to add

#property show_inputs

in the beginning, so we can change the settings when loading it.

Also, an "Emergency Close All Trades" option to force it to close all trades at any time we want would be welcome.
If you close trades manually or with a CloseAll script, the EA will keep reopening them immediately because it absolutely wants to open its 23 trades whatever happens, the only way it will close them is by hitting basket TP or SL.

The way it is coded now, start() never returns, so it is not possible to "F7" it to change the "StopTrading" on the fly, so we have to find something else...
7bit's "snowball" EA has kind of "buttons" coded in, where you just double click the so-called "button" and change its position, the bot will detect that and interpret it as a stop-all-trades "command".
Just like the TP lines that you can move in The Beast EA.
Just a thought.

Or a script that will set a GlobalVariable that the EA monitors continously in its loop, that works also fine.
The "CloseNeeded" variable could be turned into a GlobalVariable for this purpose for instance.

this EA simulating the basket in differente TF and such a way that the winners rise to the top and the loosers to the botton.

Ok guys, this one is for the coders.

It seems that trader101's ideas have continued to inspire trading. I am receiving pm's and emails about this arising from this thread.

Most of the coding for the ea to trade the system is easy. For me, the hard bit is simulating the master basket in such a way that the winners rise to the top and the losers sink to the bottom, and display in descending order of success.

I know the answer lies in arrays, but multi-dimensional arrays in whatever computing language have traditionally defeated my pathetic logic...

SQ, you still there?

How do I get the text from a label on the chart? I have this somewhere, but can't remember.

Ignore that. It is ObjectDescription()

Steve,

this EA is going to be another Award Winner !!!

It's fascinating to look at the Upl moving up and down so quickly...
(well, up more often than down hopefully)

I wish we would plot Upl live onto the chart -- an offline chart perhaps ?...
Hum... another bunch of interesting programming perspective here...

I'm sure Macman must have some live-equity-curve-chart indicator somewhere... Macman ?

Have you had your array-sorting stuff sorted out ?

Steve The new code lines you made last night was working on both BWB and MPTM. I went to bed this morning and come up now to plenty monopoly money. BWB with MPTM on one account and only BWB on the other. Both has made same amount of money.
Now I shall load the new updated things.

Steve,

The error SQ found is the same one I gave you a fix for earlier in a pm.

I hope you haven't lost the other portion of my fix where I substituted the OrderClosePrice() with the OrderSymbol's bid/ask price? (I can't see your mods as I'm on my phone)

EDIT: Don't mind me, I just reread that post, all cool!

BWB is merrily chugging along but BWBB is afraid to trade (so far).

  • Nov 4, 2010 7:19am Nov 4, 2010 7:19am
Steve can you put the code line in BWBB also It closed basket and opened a new but closed it directly.
The other is working so….

The latest version is in post 1, courtesy of squalou. He has made some fantastic updates to the display and made it generally more helpful and useful. I just had to move the restart button, sq, otherwise it would not display on my screen.

Even better, he offered to do the same with BWBB so I have jumped at the chance. sq understands this stuff better than I.

Even more valuably, he spotted that the tp/sl code is rubbish (no, he didn't put it quite like that) and has sorted it out. That should be ok here; I will post his update to BWWB as soon as his boss's back is turned.

Another for sq.

Thanks for opening up this thread. BWB has given very promising results so far.

Let loose wednesday evening version of BWB this morning 8.30 gmt = two slam dunk wins during the day, followed by loss that wiped it out more or less.

TP should have taken care of that

Is it possible to code "wait before new trade after SL is hit", separately and in addition to "wait after TP". In that way one could set a longer wait after going under in choppy water, and a shorter wait when winning, and the sailing is plain.

And since Christmas is not far away: Selection of non-trade hours to stay away from big news.

Looking forward to hearing from others when and which trading sessions seem to be best for this robot. I imagine one of the most reliable times would be in the morning of the London session after the initial whip lash moves at, say 9am gmt.

Yep. Certainly can and will do later on - sl wait and trading hours.

Hi Steve,
there is a little error in the (infinite) endless loop

Inserted Code
while (loop == 0)

sholud be

Inserted Code
while (loop == 0 && IsExpertEnabled())
or simple

Inserted Code
while (IsExpertEnabled())

if not you can't take the control of the robot even if you stopp it, so if you want (for example) to change the input actually the only way is to remove the robot from chart and re drag on chart again

Could be that's why Robot looks frozen. I cannot double click on it to Edit

Ok, thanks, just compiled, let's see if that helps
