Hi guys,

I'm just looking at my USDCAD chart and can't see a reason why the bot didn't get me into this trade at around 0.9971. I have the latest version. All I can think of is that I closed the platform and restarted it after loading the new bot and price was no longer within 10 pips of the upper TMA line therefore it wasnt looking for a trade? Does this sound like what would have happened, and if so does that means that platform restarts are to be avoided in order to not miss trades like this? Let me know if I'm mistaken.

Cheers,

Murray
Hey Murray, i got the same situation here. No trade on Ucad. I think the problem is that the distance b/w 5MA and middle line of TMA was too narrow at that moment.

Dose anyone get any signal? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Just dragged NB's sell EA onto a CHFJPY chart and looked over at the Robot and it was also set up on the same trade.....We'll see how this goes....

Hi Steve,
Bob's EA took the CHFJPY trade and it should have....The Robot did not and it should have.The Robot stopped looking for a trade a pretty good ways before touching the 5MA and went right over it...

It's the same deal for me. I am running on all 24 pairs offered by my broker. Up until yesterdays version(s) it was taking trades (all winners I might add), but no trades since changing to the updated versions.

skoda, can i look at your ea trading history these days. I didnt put ea until yesterday but seems mkt doesn't give any big pull back to active the ea so far. I'd like to check the performance of ea on sl/tp.

Thanks.

Steve, while you are altering the bot for manual/auto trading would it be possible to make the dark blue line, (240 smoothed in Bob's system and I assume hard coded in the bot), a user setting for MA value and type, this would enable me to test out some ideas before cluttering up the thread with them.

that Steve, in order not to subject himself to a cacophony of generally poorly thought out responses, choose several ,"tried and true," members (hiredwhip, eg.) to do the preliminaries before releasing the BOT to the general public.

Hi Steve
Thanks for your hard work
The bot didn't hit any order from yesterday till now .....
if the bot send pending order instead of market order and this order modified as the as value of MA5*5 change every 1 hr I think more better to prevent the market move during news
also can you modify to multipair with one EA
Thanks again Steve So much

Nanning's 5x5 warning indicator caught that good move on audjpy (frm 82.71). The EA missed it. Just thought you'd like to know.

Unless Steve has changed something, I believe the bot is only supposed to take buys if TMA/LWMA is Above the 240 AND going up; the reverse for sells. In my audjpy (all brokers will be different) the Midline is barely above 240 but pointing down, nearly touching so no buys or sells.

As usual, I could be wrong.

Come on, read post 1, sector "Convergence" By default it is OFF.
You are wrong.....

My demo also didn't take the trades which NB's EA did. (same pairs as in Whip's post)

Quick simple question for you guys

If I am applying the EA to various charts, do I need to give each chart a random Magic Number?

Thanks

I've got two requests.

First: would it be possible to add the multiplier to the "Use Swing" input? I've been doing manual backtesting, and I've found that the system does much better using a smaller stop than the last swing. It performs over twice as well when the stop is 1/2 the distance from the last swing.

You already have such a multiplier for the TMA based stop. So I don't think this request would be too onerous.

Second: this is much more involved, but ideally I would like lot size to be based on a percentage of equity risked. Basically, if I was willing to risk 2% of my equity on a trade, then I would see what that dollar amount was, and then calculate the lot size by dividing the amount risked by (SLPips*PipValue).

I would prefer to trade this system in the semi-automatic way. The big trouble with that for me, right now, is in having some way to set the initial stop with my ECN, and also getting the lot size right.

I did some more backtesting to play around with settings:

10 for the pipbuffer works better than 5 or 15

When I turned the convergence filter on, it didn't make any trades

If you want a smaller stop, you can use TMA. Is there a reason for not doing so?

I will when I am feeling strong. This kind of thing induces a logic fuzz that makes my head reel. Leave it with me.
