I shall start to add the usual filters to avoid over-trading soon, Shelley. I wanted to see if this one would make a half-decent start first and it has.

This bot is achieving a rare success in remaining on demo on my trading machine. It has made a highly promising start.
The latest update is in post 1. This includes all the pair balance/max pairs/margin etc filters from The Beast. - there is a clear need to be able to avoid overtrading.
The only thing missing now is the Volatility stuff for Recovery.

If anybody happened to download the update before the 'Last edited' time in post 1, then do a quick re-download. I left something out of the screen display.

Those of you demoing the latest version will have noticed that UseZeljko and OnlyTradeCurrencyTwice are not working.
The latter is because of a schoolboy coding error; the former because I forgot to add the code to make the function work.
I will have this fixed in time for next week.

Latest version in post 1, with the fixes and missed-out stuff unmissed-out.
Hi Steve,
Attached is a screen shot of Reversi performance so far, after a fairly rough optimisation to find a suitable time frame.
Running on 14 pairs without mptm trade management.
As you can see, seems to be profitable, but with substantial floating draw-down. Not bad for a first run & it may have long term legs with careful optimisation & good mptm settings. For now I will just leave it running in a corner of the VPS.
Yellow line is banked balance, red line is floating draw-down.
ATM up 15%
Nice work buddy

I am finding it lifting the balance slowly with most successful trades being taken out by a 50 pip jumping stop. Recovery has worked brilliantly.
I started the $2000 demo on the 29th May; current balance is $2038, so nearly a 2% balance increase.
More to the point is this: floating drawdown is typically a third of the profit so far, so the equity is consistently higher than the original deposit. In my limited trading experience, this is unique for a no-stoploss trading strategy.
This is exceptional and exciting given that: 1) few of the ea's I code make it onto my demo machine; 2) of the tiny proportion that do, it is rare for any of them to last more than a couple of days; 3) when they do, the equity normally drops more quickly than the balance rises, so the equity never catches up.
Looking good at the mo.

Yes. Amidst all the fire and fury of exciting developments elsewhere, this little bot carries on doing its thing.

Dang Steve, now I am going to have to take a day off of my life and see what the heck you have been doing.
Never trust my programming. I am an idiot.

No need to spend a day on this bot, for sure. Everything you need to know is contained within post 1; this is just about the simplest trading system you will read here at FF. I keep on waiting for the bot to faile; it just keeps on chugging away garnering the pips.

is this graphic from the AccountEquity indicator?
If it is, can there be any advancement in the code to let it use less resources? {someone who can please help}
It is a nifty management tool, works with even fibs & Forks, but it uses so much resouces that often times it has to be viewed with the account off line.
That has been my experience. It would be good if we could find a way to let the indicator run on say half the resources it currently consumes when the makets are opened.
On the weekends, saym there are no such issues, perhaps as it is not constantly reading/refreshing then.
Bless!

Steve,
Reversi doing good so far in my demo account and the recovery is remarkable as well. Is it possible for reversi to own an existing trade so that I can use it's recovery system for non-Reversi trades as well?
Thank you,
Edd
Yes. So long as both trades have the same magic number, R will regard any trade as its own. I am not absolutely certain that BE and re-entry lines will be drawn correctly for a pre-existing trade; try it and see.
Great, Thank you Steve.
God Bless.
Edd
