You have to play with RangeCalculationHour until it represents the correct one for you. The default appears to be correct for me in the UK; I lined it up with Nico's post yesterday.

Sorry I can't help more, but it is a time thingy and I cannot help.

Cheers
I think I have it figured out......I've deleted the box......Will recompile the bot at 2000. That is my correct hour for range calc (No DST)......
The bot will then redraw the box in the correct place......
Have already tried this and it works....

Hi Steve,
Another toy to play ... Count me in...
Have fun. Nicotina's strategy has lasted nearly 4 years. All I have to do here is make sure the basics are in place in the ea.

Excellent. Future releases will delete the box on ea removal/recompile.

There is a problem with the display, and therefore the range hi-lo computation. Here in the UK, it is 00.30 and my RangeCalculationHour is 2 i.e. 2.00 AM. Nico is drawing the box from 1.00 AM back until 17.00 PM, instead of the previous 18.00 PM to 2.00 AM.

This is a logic flaw that I will work out eventually.

I think so, if you are on est and est is 5 hours behind gmt.

Here is where life starts to get a bit complicated. Nicotina posted his thread in mid-October of 2007, claiming the box startd gmt 18.00 and closed gmt 2.00 (well, 1.59.59 really).

Fine, except that in mid October, the UK and large parts of Europe are on gmt +1, so does Nicotina mean gmt, or gmt + 1? I think he means the latter, given the timing of his first post, the timing now, the fact that I was able to marry up my time with the figures he gave in his post yesterday, and the fact that we are on gmt + 1 now. In Europe and the UK at least.

Confused?

You should be. Anyone got scoobs' sub commander's sub-ethernet phone number?

Post 1 now contains a version of Nico that accommodates loading the bot onto a chart when the time is such that the display..... o hell I cannot even begin to explain the fix I have added. Just save it with a different filename and see if it still displays what it is supposed to display. It does on my chart.

Good luck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------i

Guys, I am sorry but you simply have to play around with the RangeCalculationHour until it draws the box accurately on your chart.

If you happen to be one of the lucky ones who knows when the box is displaying accurately.

I think I am one of those, but might have to stay up until 2.00 am to find out. Even then I might only be confirming that the bot draws the box I intended it to draw. The box I intended it to draw might be wrong.

Anybody around here happen to have the slightest bloody idea when the sodding box should be drawn in:

 

  1. gmt terms
  2. est temrs
  3. sacrificial chicken terms
  4. any other bloody terms

Isn't this fun?

Steve,
I had to go with 2100 (DST).....The bot won't draw the box correctly unless you use DST....East coast is on DST...4 hours diff...
So I'll wait another hour....

P.S. I'm using straight GMT.....GMT doesn't change....If I draw the box at 2100 I'll have a box at 0100 GMT

Where is that Sub commander???

He isn't allowed to say.

Hehe. Knowing my luck, I could invent an entirely fictional commander name, sub number, location and ethernet sub-wave thingy only to find they represent actual name etc, and have MI5 busting down my door about 45 seconds later.

Steve,

I just put the latest version.. and it's still draw the lines from yesterday.. I'm hoping it will deleted when today's lines appears.

Nice job..!

Of course it draws the damn lines from yesterday. Can't exactly do it from tomorrow, can it?

Ok, I am staying up until 2.00 am to see if the damn bot redraws the lines in the right place at the right time. For those of you still daft enough to be waiting with baited breath, that is in about 30 minutes tome.

This should give those of you with no idea which part of the world you live in re gmt/est/sct something to work with.

If, by any remote chance, I am actually correct.

Prepare your ear muffs. You will need them if I am wrong.

I know. Post 1 says what I was sent. This turns out to be either rubbish or totally accurate. I assume this depends on sct.

You got any ideas? I haven't.

0100 GMT is the end of the second hour of Tokyo Session......Alittle odd to end there...

To pass the time, how about a few alternative trading strategies?

Here is one I am trying.

 

  1. drop the mtf Rsi onto a chart, programmed to look at the D1
  2. when it shows a trend (>55 or <45) wait for a few retrace candles then enter in the direction of the trend
  3. mptm:

    1. js 50 with +10 at be
    2. hedge at -100 at double lot size, and hedge-the-hedge enabled

I am making a killing on demo at the mo. Saves faffing around with Logical, Threes, sct etc

18.00 here in the UK + 8 = 2.00.

Not as daft as it sounds given what we learned from scoobs.

It is. You have turned me Back To The Righteous Path Of Hedging.

Doesn't take any effort, either.
