Oops.

I also experience the losses in demo account.
I suggest that we need to use the ATR / Fibonnaci for precise entry.
For instance, when a trend start in daily, rsi >55 + atr >50% + fib > 50% then we entry long trade. After the trend met the top or bottom, use rsi <45 & ATR < 50% & fib 61.8% to indicate the trend change from long to short.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Hi Steve,

Being my first post in your threads let me first and foremost thank you for your enduring work in helping us all to get a little closer to the crystal ball.

A feature that I believe would be an asset to the bot would be a function that would allow different basket T/P and S/L settings at different trading times. An example of it's use would be using larger T/P and S/L settings from London open until mid New York, then smaller T/P and S/L settings pre and during the Asian session; I find that there are pips to be taken during slow trade but if you get greedy they disappear quickly and often reverse.

Also it would be great if you could add a kind of basket break even or some sort of trailing function to stop good baskets from turning bad - also keyed to trading times as mentioned above. It's tough seeing baskets that are significantly in profit ending up as loosers.

Thanks

squalou spent the weekend beavering away on our behalf.

I write, "beavering away"; actually, he is such a fantastic coder that he probably spent about half an hour on it.

He has made some fabulous additions. Details in the squalou's upgrades section of post 1.

Just for kicks I changed the RSI period from D1 to H1
If I'm cycling every 30 min to 2 hours I'd rather have the RSI looked at for a 1 hour period
let ya know I started this on one computer and it had $35.00 but a 41% win rate . . . weird

Ok, now we have our nice little shiny body.


But it merely has just a "reverse" gear, it is fueled with dirty-water, and powered by a tired 1-leg pedals system...

We need to buy it some good V8 engine, high quality gas, and an automatic 7-gearbox, and eventually we DON'T want the reverse gear !

We want it to fly the 14-lanes Autobahn !!!


Any thoughts where we can find such a tuning shop ?

Started this on test last night. No trades opened today. Anyone else had any trades?

I also loaded the T101 edition and that has done 3 basket deals today.

make sure stop trading is false or it will not trade
should leave true for about an hour then drag ea to chart make false let it fly

Also:

you MUST move the green "START" button to start trading.

To do so, double click the green "START" text, this will highlight it with a box around it, then drag this box away from its location -- this moves the whole "START" text box away.
The bot will detect that and interpret it as a "Start trading now" command.

The same applies to "CLOSE ALL TRADES" and "STOP TRADING" buttons.

(Same principle as for the Sixths EA tp/sl lines that you can select and move)


Note that when you drop the bot on the chart, it will not start until you "START" it with the button.

It will also fall back to "NOT TRADING" state when you disable EAs and change settings (F7), and then re-enable EAs.

Hope this helps.

Maybe its idea to put:
extern int SpreadLimit = 35; // do not trade a pair if it's current spread is > SpreadLimit
In the EA

I was doing the hard way the older bot showed the buttons at the bottom and my chart wasn't low enough to see them DUH!
