Hi Steve

I have a question regarding user guide page 3:

"Imagining a sell trade, here is how Cat works:
• drag the robot onto the chart, and set TradeLong to true and TradeShort to false."

Shouldn't this be the other way round, or have I misunderstood it entirely?

Kind Regards
Yes, it should. As it happens, I downloaded the pdf earlier tonight to try to read it as others would. I noticed this quickly. It will be corrected in the next pdf release.

I was hoping others would not notice.

Terrifying how few have - or revealing, maybe?

The start of a new trading week. Happy trading everyone.

This week should see BB going live.

Hi All

I'm getting very good results

I started a demo on 25 Aug and currently balance is up 4.5% and DD is +12%, so closing everything now would show a balance gain of 16.5%, which in is very good.

I'll continue the demo and see what happens over a few more weeks. The grid trades do seem to hit the SL around 50% of the time, so little profit here, so far.

Cheers

Paul

That's true, but results are really good anyway. Will post evolution too periodically, my demo started just Friday, on 14 pairs.

I am enjoying trading V10 manually - all I do is check the charts once a day, so it leaves me plenty of time to indulge my occd.

I wrote a little indi to display the D1 volatility as calculated by BB, then added swap to it, so the Daily Volatility Indicatordisplays:

 

  1. the average daily movement of a pair, calculated by adding together the distance between the highs and lows of the most recent 20 days trading, then dividing by 20.
  2. the pairs long swap.
  3. the pairs short swap.

Download it from post 1 if you think it will help you.

You are backtesting? I saw that in backtest, yes. But the stop is moved correctly. Also I saw that last night when using BB with Caterpillar.
Atm I'm using BB on 14 pairs on IBFX AU, and got not a single error.

Yes, it's because of the tester history. Also spread and stuff that cannot be really accurate in history.

Thanks Sir Hopwood,
could you make it so that it monitors all open/specified pairs at a glance?

I mostly get chf trades (USDCHF, GBPCHF, EURCHF) as well, I guess that's how the market is today. I did get some trades on GBPSEK and EURJPY too though so I guess everything is working as it should.

So far today from london opening up until now I got 334 euro profit and dd is
65 positive (was 200 at one point), this is trading 0.1 lots on FxPro demo with ootb settings.

BB has made a great start on demo.

Into an upcoming update, maybe later, maybe tomorrow:

 

  1. I forgot to add the UseZeljko check to the carolco grid trading function, and so have unbalanced trades. Granted, they are all cheerfully in profit, but this is not the point.
  2. During development, we need a trade comment for each trade origin, so we can see at a glance how the trade originated.

Hi, Steve,
you can kill me if you want, but still I'm gonna ask this...

Today was 1st day using the Caterpillar module from BB, nice trades...but I have read(again) the pdf and didn't found the answer....
Modules into BB are excluding one each other, right?
I mean, as valid options:

BB alone;
BB+Carolco;
Caterpillar (BB trades disabled);

Also, as per logical options, Hedge OR Recovery, but that's already mentioned.

Am I right?

One does not disable the other. It is up to users not to screw things up by making multiple choices. There is only so much idiot checking I am prepared to do.

Caterpillar trades will not be sent if the pair is not a trending pair.
