Steve.

On market open, your latest update was opening and closing pairs in rapid succession. The worst was GpbJpy and EurJpy. It must have opened and closed 20 times.

I have attached a log file for your reference.

Dave R.

PS. I went back to the previous version and that stabilized it so some small bug I think.
Thanks. I added the balanced trade filter (UseZeljko) to the pending trade deletion routine, but forgot to add it to the trade-send decision function. So, the bot was obediently sending the pending, then equally obediently deleting it because it violated the balanced trade filter....then sent it again....

Well behaved little bot is Pippo.

Fix for all this in post 1. Possibly. I am afraid we are now into precisely the kind of fix-a-bit here, then fix the bit that goes wrong because of the original fixed bit territory, that I wanted to avoid when I did the majority of Pippo's development in peace and quiet.

There are people here itching to take Pippo live. Just hang on a bit so we are sure all the basics are working properly first, ok?

Hello Steve, and everyone else. Been a while since I was able to do any more testing, but I hope to be able to do some more now. Hope you and your family are doing well Steve!
I had a question about the UseZeljko filter and how it works. I wanted to make sure I understand how it should work. I have a chart here where there is a limit buy on the gbpusd pair, and also a limit buy on the gbpjpm pair. If I read how the Zeljko filter works, shouldn't one pair be a limit buy and the other a limit sell?
Thanks for your work as well as everyone else involved. Have a great day!
Vince

I have done my best to explain this in post 1. Anything I write here would merely be repeating my post 1 explanation.

I forgot to add another sentence. Is it possible that both pending orders for the buy gu and gj be excuted so there would not be any time for one of them to be cancelled once the buy gu or buy gj is excuted?

Yes. If a pending fills, it fills.

I hear you but this is where a good EA becomes great.

Thanks for the quick reply Steve. What I was thinking was what if you waited until you had an actual gu buy and then place the gb sell limit ?

Because the bot is not coded this way. Nor is it going to be.

Hi

I'm getting a EURJPY buylimit appearing and is then cancelled, repeatedly, is anybody else seeing this? I have two other eonedings GU and EG, which look fine.

Paul

Edit: sorry, I'm seeing this on H4.

Edit2: I also have 2 CHFJPY Buy orders running. I think I need to read up on the Zeljko filter?

Edit3: OK, so I've read post 1 again and what I'm seeing looks correct to me. The two CHFJPY trades are open from last week and EURJPY is in the correct band (3) for a buy trade. So, Pippo is generating a pending buy, but Zeljko is saying that we can only have a SELL on EURJPY, therefore the pending gets cancelled.

I have one more observation. To get the correct MM lines to show on the chart, you have to enter 1440 for mmPeriod for example on the H4 chart.

dr
This post got me confused. For H4, shouldn't MM be set to 240?

Also, if I want to forward test on the H4 should I set MM to 0 (autocalc) or to 240? What would be the difference??

better to change 15 to 0 in MetaEditor; so then the EA will automatically adjusted to TF the EA is drags onto.

Absolutely right. Sunday is my non-thinking day. It should be 240. Actually I now realize that 0 should work as well.

The method you are now grooming for live trading looks something like this one http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=290134 ...Would be best for all if it were done this way. Pippo

Pippo,

This post earns you a top 10 spot on my ignore list - write anything you like, from now on I for one will not even see it, nor anything else you write, ever again ....

If you really think a simple grid "is my method", IMHO you are delusional. Steve gives up his time for free, why do you believe he should dance to your tune?

Do us all a favour, go away and pay someone to code "your method" - then after a couple of months of trading "your method", you will be rich enough to retire to a private island somewhere - maybe

You are confusing an indicator with a METHOD for using it. In addition, just for the sake of accuracy, Murrey Math trading involves a grid, but is not grid trading in the usual sense...Instead, the levels function as a Stochastic, identifying OB/OS conditions to trade against...All the Best, Pippo
