I have barely understood a single word posted here for about 20 pages and am close to abandoning the entire project.
Not that I actually need it, given the success of TOB. It would just be nice to be able to use my own robot to do some actual trading.
Couldn't tell me how to achieve this, could you?
The BEAST is indeed a master piece; trading live since October, almost hands free and over 20% profit thus far trading 10 cents a/c $2k. I know of no other EA, (Commercial or free) which can show such consistency.

As for the BJ EA the results of last week are a testimony to its merits and viability. However, this week the results (for me anyway) are not so clear cut. I wonder what are whips method to manage 100% win rate. I would be very grateful if whip could enlighten us. Brian’s method is based on Logical trader’s ACD method (adapted quite a bit). Mr Fisher the author states that his method can be used for any market which has sufficient liquidity and Volatility, moreover he states that it performs best when used with trending instruments. Once we identify and utilize the factors which made it so profitable last week we will have another BEAST.

As for your understanding of what has been posted for the last 20 pages or so, it is very reassuring to know I am not the only one who has problems comprehending the system and where it is going. The problem is that we are seeing bits and pieces of the canvas and the only person who knows what the whole picture looks like is Brian. IMHO we have to let him do this at his own pace. I do hope that this makes sense.

Kind Regards

Does anyone have a script that will open a preset user defined basket of trades?

Here is I think a way to test or closely automate what Brijon is trying to do.

Use a script to open a user defined box of longs and shorts. A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 14. these have some sort of basket ID so they can be managed separately as a basket that will move negative to positive. It will be closed as a basket when positive (define by pips etc.) Max DD 15%.

While that is going on other trades are placed by the 3MW method with a 3 pip trailing stop loss and max 100 TP. These trades are based on a couple of factors. 1) the direction of the basket (L or S), the Buy/Selll volume, and the relative strength of each basket member. If it is a short market, short the two weakest. If it is Long, buy the two srongest.

I repeat that is what I think.

If anybody had a script to open a user defined basket of trades please post it or send it to me.

my system is too complicated for an ea

but i take your point if the beast is succesful and you want to use an ea then when your on a good thing stick to it

theres no right or wrong way to trade

personaly im happy trading manual i have no problem

i said from the start i didnt think an ea could trade my way but STEVE AND ASTRAL THOUGHT THEY COULD DO IT


i offered my help but even though the guys on here have all the tools

my system is even too complicated for the greatest ea programer i think

so its up to you guys but astral if your on a good thing stick to it

we all trade different there is no right or wrong way to trade just what you believe in

i wish you continuing success i think steve tries his hardest

i so admire him his giving spirit is the light that shines in all great people

above all STEVES SHINES THE BRIGHTEST IN MY EYES

my admiration and thanks for doing me the honour of reconising my thread

god bless you

In our WAR against the CRIMINAL brokers we need a variety of weapons, tactics and strategies. The beast is working for now but who knows what tactics the criminals would use to neutralize it in the future. IMHO as traders we need to educate ourselves as much as possible. Last year for the first time I did not make a loss in forex. I owe this to BOB and Steve for Semi automatic NB Ver5 system. Steve and Macman`s the BEAST and this year I am hoping to add Brian and Steve`s 3MW Semi automatic system to my arsenal.

In the BJ zip file is my profile copy the BJ subdir into the profile subdir restart you MT4 and load the BJ profile.. You must have all the indies and Ea that are on the thread. The ea has my set files and it has Brians 14 pairs with the basket and hedge chart

also here are 4 pics the 1st is my 58 dollar account up 188.48% since 02-25-2011 the next is another Live account I started yesterday up 5.19%
then a 1000 demo account a few days old then a 10000 demo account with the 14 pairs like brian has
hope this helps
Thanks DRYCLEAN does this load everything on with the pairs you use and the all the settings, so when the market opens it will start trading?

Im a bit confused with the offline charts and the actual EA doesn't seem to be on any of the charts once I have load the profile up

Thanks

Just so we are clear

The profile I uploaded is a ver of the EA from 02-28 with my presets
that are posted elsewhere here....I have not checked out the last of Steve's ea because if not broke don't fix.

For what it is worth the ea has opened orders and then taken profit wonderfully. They only thing I am tring to understand fully is the managing the DD. In 1 of my demos I'm at 17% DD but I see where I made 2 bad trades which account for 550 of the DD right now I paniced

Same in a live account I have 2 of the rouge trades where self inflicted

I've read and understand more what I did wrong . I didn't understand fully the cycle of the basket till yesterday. I started to panic but it came back to the desired DD %. I plan on this week end to read the other thread about this system manually. It is a pip machine but you must manage the DD as Brian states

I maybe wrong, but current main concern related EA is that when for example the EA takes long trade on AU, but the "offline basket" volume isn't necessary has buy volume grater than sell volume. I think i'll be focusing on this discrepancy this week while manual trades. maybe it isn't possible for each EA(in each chart) to consult with "offline basket volume indi" before taking trade on an individual pair.

Hehe. I asked for help last night and all I got was an instruction to 'take a leap forward'.

You may indeed be wrong, but I do not know.

I am not sure which bit of, "I have barely understood a single word posted here for about 20 pages and am close to abandoning the entire project." from my previous post is so hard to understand. Granted, there are a few words with > 1 syllable in there, but I tried to keep it short and to the point. I did remove the ea from post 1 and cancelled my update sub to this thread just to see if anyone noticed, but awoke in a slightly better mood this morning and re-instated the bot.

So, I am going to adopt a new tactic to ram the point home.

I am going to repeat this: I haven't a clue what you are talking about. Therefore, I cannot amend the ea code in light of your comment: until someone here makes some sense.

Maybe I am being a tad unfair here. I am using the ea, after all and highly successfully as a signals generator. Actually, that isn't quite true; I amusing a modified version of it as a signals generator; the trades I am entering via a script and managing manually as a scalper, but that is a different matter.

What I have not been able to do is use the ea as an auto-trader; it doesn't take any trades. That is why I asked whip how he is using it. He is a pal, so I didn't tell him what to do with his leap forward, although I was tempted.

So, anyone around here prepared to make any sense?

Hi Steve,
Had a tree come down in the back pasture last night and took out a pretty good chunk of the fence....9 horses were in places they were not supposed to be in and I ended up with an early morning workout..
Have managed to saw up the pine tree and remove it from the fence with the help of the Shih Tzu and a very large tractor.....
The problem with this is my location.....I'm out of the range of my network so I can't see my desktops and all I have is internet access which means all I can do is read the threads.
I will be more than happy to give you a decent apology if I don't know the difference between the British leap forward and the American spring forward when I get back to the house and also post the bot I'm using

Sorry

whip

the last update didnt take any trades im happy if it just takes a trailing profit stop of 3 pips on trades on

but for an auto ea i think as astral said the beast is best

sorry i understand how STEVE FEELS COMPLETE FRUSTRATION

its my fault ill retreat to my thread , im sorry

but ill leave this up to you as i think i only add to the confusement

from my point im honered STEVE EVEN CONSIDERED MY METHOD

WORTHY OF AN ATTEMPT TO DO AN EA BASED ON MY IDEAS

for me im old fashion trying to understand eas ect is beyond me

im happy trading manual im used to it

i can make good pocket money

im realy retired now manual trading is my hobby

so i have nothing to gain in having an ea or auto trading

but i see my help is confusing IN THE CREATION OF AN EA

STEVE HAS FAR MORE IMPORTANT WORK TO DO WITH HIS OTHER EAS

THANK YOU SO MUCH

STEVE IN ALL MY YEARS IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO SO MUCH FOR SO MANY PEOPLE

IM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR GIVING YOUR TIME AND EFFORT TO SO MANY

FOR ME THAT IS THE MARK OF A GREAT PERSON I ADMIRE YOU

THANK YOU FROM BRIAN

Steve I have been using an older version of your ea (2-28)

I had to blank out the code in the ea that would not let it go live. But it is pulling profitable trades on 2 live and 2 demo accounts for me. I could post the ea here if you want

This is a message from fxtrade13 sent via the Forex Factory website:

******************************

The reason why the most recent version of b is not taking any trades is because the default values for UseD1Close=false AND UseW1Close=false

If both of the values are set to false, then the EA will not take any trades. Don't know why. If you want the latest EA to take auto trades, then set either one of those 2 to true. Sorry I can't post in the thread, so I had to email you.

Could you explain about your template more?

Im unsure what the online and offline chart is, also I dont think the EA is attached to any of the charts.

When I load the template it loads 14 15m charts, 1 basket 1h offline chart, 1 Hedge H1 offline chart, 1 chart with xmeter.

Neither of the charts have the B EA loaded on,

He can post now.

I cannot see anything in the code to stop trading when both these filters are disabled. This doe not mean that there is not anything, simply that I cannot see it. It did not stop my signals only version generating signals.

I will continue looking but do not hold out a lot of hope. If the bot generates signals, it can generate trades.
