Yesterday I had 16 trades and they were ALL winners. I was planning to get that nice speedboat we always wanted.

Today, Aurora took 23 trades and ALL were losers. As a result, we may have to sell my wife's car.

Fortunately, I am still on demo.

Steve, did you add some secret code designed to mess with our heads?
Running total:
Winners: 25
Losers: 9.

All on my Alpari UK coding machine. I started a new demo on my always-on trading machine; EU, EJ, EG and GU, IBFX. It was a slaughter. Possibly just one of those days; possibly it is no coincidence that the system-designer trades EU only.

on the first post there are 3 files. Other than Aurora, what are the other two?

With a name like HogdustWilli, you must be a fine person. I love it.

Aurora is the robot, which goes into your expert file.

A subsection of the expert file is called indicators. Click on that, and then
add the other two files here. Close the platform and re-open.

I agree that John's suggestion for trend detection as per PwR indicator is the optimum complying to the intended rules of the strategy as stated.
However, maybe, just maybe, Steve's original by accident was better??? Time will tell!

of course as someone pointed out to me as we are only interested in the histogram

we could use

Inserted Code
double ld_power = iBearsPower(NULL,0,144,PRICE_CLOSE,1) + iBullsPower(NULL,0,144,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
if (ld_power > 0) pwrup=true;
if (ld_power < 0) pwrdn=true;
then there is NO confusion

here's what i have for today so far.

for some reason the bot didn't trade short even though the PWR was red.

any ideas why this might be? maybe i'm just missing something.

thanks

Has any thought been given to add stealth mode to this bot so as to hide the tp and sl from the crims?

There was a problem which has been fixed in the latest version since post #194.
I had a previous version running through the night and did not have short trades during early morning GMT. Now fixed.

Hi guys,

do not know about anyone else but for me (especially during AS) I am getting lots invalid stop errors because the bid/ask is too close to the pending orders, quite often Aurora gives up in disgust

it is also making my experts log very longgggg

in addition I generally consider pendings the same as TP & SL, I prefer them to be hidden from the criminal.

to make this a bot that the criminal knows absolutely nothing about here is a suggestion (note this also then works for criminals that don't allow expiry times)

if we have a trigger for a buy trade we do the following:-

set a buy trade trigger, set the price and time in program variables
opposite for a sell trade

we then have a new routine that is called on every start() loop

this routine is the order open management routine;-

what it does is the following

if there is a trigger buy/sell
a) it checks if it should be expired, if so, it clears the trigger and exits
b) it checks if the bid/ask is now greater than/less than the trigger price, if it is does the sendsingletrade() and clears the trigger

doing this means:-

the criminal has no idea you have a pending in place and cannot spike the price to enter your order
this also means that you can use true bid price entering for longs (ie, you wait for the bid to go above the candle, then buy at ask)
you don't miss orders due to aurora giving up in disgust
your expert log is shorter!!

I personally always have in my own trading method my "pendings" set this way - I have an EA that triggers them, for me the less the criminal knows the better

as Steve is the EA King, maybe he can comment on this suggestion

(of course if we are hiding the pending from the criminal it makes sense at the same time to hide the SL/TP, and only add an emergency SL for cases of broker disconnect)

forgot too mention one important point if this suggestion is taken

we would need to code for opposite triggers

currently aurora will not send an opposite trade trigger if the original pending was set and isn't expired

the trigger code would need to check if there is already a valid trigger in place

Ah that good óle trend indicator ADX(20) can be used as a good filter.

Attached shows three attempts to buy and all failed, while ADX(20) < 20 level indicating the move has no juice! But when above 20, could indicate a trend is developing, and a good possibility for those buy/sell-stops hit their target.

Just my 2 cents....

problem is then it would also filter out some good moves, like the one that didn't trigger for me

quite often the adx will be below 20, especially at the start of a new trend, when the fast tp's are generally hit

Very nice idea Jmw1970! I already thought about this.
