Whip, a bit more info for you.

I have coded an ea for the Dibs system, via a bit of mis-info in the JollyRoger thread. To do so I had to read the first post in the thread properly.

This little gem has emerged: take the opening price of the 6.00 GMT candle as the guide price for the day. If the market is above this, then the sentiment for London and the Euro markets is bullish; if below, then the sentiment is bearish.

Applied to the Rsi scalper thingy, this looks to have some potential so I shall try it out this week.

Found the Dibs EA about an hour ago and did some reading......Looks interesting......I'll have it set up in the AM
Let me know what you come up with on that RSI scalper.....a good piece of work

I am also hoping it will rescue the ea I coded for it - sat for a fortnight without taking a single trade. Not a lot of use as a scalper.

Good Morning Steve,
Did some manual trading late last night with the Post #60 template looking at it with the Dibs rules in mind....It takes a little practice to get used to it but works very well.....Thanks for the tip!!!
The Dibs bot is also doing very well........It might be interesting to see this all put together....

Have a great day

Hi Steve,
Finally have some time to spare and I'm going to start posting results.....I hope you are still running what I have on demo.....

Sorry, whip.
I'm a bit lost. Are those results you show here obtained by using the EA posted in post#1, or are they obtained by manual trading of the RSI template, or by using another EA?

Thanks

Whip,

Awesome - I'll consider better results with the Manual Trading - since the dd is less. But if you don't have enough time in your hands, the Auto Trader has performed well.

Congratulations on the manual scalping results - really good. What it be possible to share a set file for MPTM of the settings you use whilst manual scalping the RSI crossover 1hr method?

Many thanks

Bear in mind that this is a specific scalping strategy, so the Rsi is a period 8. Here is the code:

Inserted Code
double GetMa(int shift)
{
 
   //Returns the sma (3) of the Rsi(8)
   double RsiMa = iRSI(NULL, 0, 8, PRICE_CLOSE, shift);
   for (int cc = 1 + shift; cc <= 2 + shift; cc++)
   {
      double rv = iRSI(NULL, 0, 8, PRICE_CLOSE, cc);
      RsiMa+= rv;   
   }//for (int cc = 1; cc <= 3; cc++)
   [b]RsiMa/= 3;[/b]
 
   return(RsiMa);
 
}//End double GetMa(int shift)
In the ea, the function places the result of the calculation in a variable...
Thankyou very much for this insightful piece of coding. Please excuse me asking the question as I am quite new to coding, but is the bold part in the code meant to have the / in it?

Help with EA that sets entry, stop and multiple limits!

I feel like Princess Leah calling for Obiwan who's her only hope. I'm certain such a thing exists. Can someone help me out? I've heard the Steve Hopwood may have written something similar.

OK, I understand opening price at 6:00 GMT.
What do you use to determine if the Market is above or below this price.
For example, do you wait for a 15,30,or 60 min candle to close?
Thank you for your help.

Ye Gods alive. I sacrifice chickens and the one that utters the final cluck gives the market direction. If said chicken expires on its left side, then the market is up, If on the left, then the market is down.

How the blue blazes else do you think I judge if the market is above or below this price? Looking at the market price and seeing if it is above the daily opening? Don't be so damn silly. Why on earth would I do this?

Get a grip, fella.

I am not in the best of all possible moods tonight. Think twice before replying.

Steve, Try wombat entrails. It's a little hard on the wombat but it works every time I've tried it. That isn't often since I got my market direction crystal ball which of course works every time except for when it doesn't work and I have to rely on PA.
