I cannot thank you all enough for your kind comments. My blind fury slowly subsides.

Crikey, I did not know I had it within me to remain this mad for such a long period of time. I am still seething, just seething less.

You have all helped so much.

Latest update in post 1. I have written this in the post:

The D1 open price and daily pivot price lines are drawn as a result of this post by Swg - http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...07#post5132307 As yet, jiva does nothing with these lines; they are drawn in case you want to use them as a part of your deciding which direction to trade the market.

Nice visual addition Steve, cheers.

Latest update in post 1.

I intended making the slow BB feature optional - I just forgot.

Please read the updated Introduction in post 1.

Very good.

Because in the end it is the trader who must decide. The EA is only to assist.

Steve,

This Commercial Member idea is patently absurd.

I hope Forex Factory is able to see what is universally beneficial.

I also forgot to add that LUC has brought a trade-management problem to visit. All the Stealth stuff means that the management features cannot kick in if HiddenPips = 0 and there is no stop loss sent with the trade.

whip alerted me to this. I shall try to sort it out tomorrow.

Off to bed now. Thanks, everyone.

Hey Guys,

Attached the Bot to EU m1 awhile ago. More or less default settings, just to get the gist of the trade strat and Bot. I got a message flag below, however, the trade opened correctly and on correct signal. Later (first trade was small 7 pip profit by the way) when the trade hit the opposite signal, and the bot closed and an opposite trade was entered also correctly, so far as I can see. I got the same warning flag again. Don't know if this is important or not.

IBFX mini Live, trading 0.01 cent/lot

pardon me if it is my settings (I haven't really fiddled around with them yet) or if I have missed a previous post.

By the way, thanks for everything Steve, and you are most welcome

Its unfortunate this happened but ultimately it was likely to happen...

1. because you are not paying ff for advertising (granted the wealth of things you have shared)
2. All good things come to an end.
3. One person ruining it for everyone.

I think if you started your own forum it would overnight be bigger/better (focus on the quality side) than FF. Just copy and migrate then delete all your threads.

There is a real need for a concentrated forum of worth. Across the forums there are some very clever people.

We all value your work Steve, I have been on the forums for around 4 years, and your MPTM is what I use for my bots and you should be valued and rewarded for that. You have spent a great deal of time and effort doing what you do and then sharing it with the world for free. Not many others do - especially anything that works and involving money.

Unfortunately I see both sides of the coin and it is commercial advertising on their patch - regardless of how we all feel.

However... this is a stonking case of

Another case of the politico pandering to the minorites

whatever happened to judgement and common sense - biting the hand of who feeds who.......

I just dialed in, this calls for a big series of WTFs?????

As of now Twee's e-mail address has been removed. If someone could PM me with it, I would appreciate it.

Here is what I attempted to send.

Steve's free EA has me on the way to becoming a full time trader. Here is my story about how he helped me http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...25#post5118825

Please give Steve free reign. He deserves special compensation for his selfless giving spirit.

They are worried about setting a precedent. I am sure it is nothing at all personal.
Which is the problem in the modern world. Nothing at all is personal. Organizations, corporations, forums, etc, etc. all run like hamburger machines. Whatever gets put in gets ground up.
The structures we have created are turning into monsters that destroy and depersonalize those involved. A real Frankenstein scenario.
Those that serve the machine are in an awkward position.
Do they go with the machine and grind up the people regardless of sensitivities (heading down the road to Soylent Green). Rules and expediencies having supreme dominance. Or do they temper their decisions with consideration of individual cases?
Unfortunately it is much easier to just grind away, and be absolved of any personal responsibility or decision making for how to apply to apply the rules for individuals. After all the rules are the rules. Carte blanche is not an option.
On the surface this seems to make sense but ultimately it does not.
Ultimately we are persons.
The whole world today is in an uproar over this very issue. Personal liberties, the freedom to experiment, work together and creativity versus a machine (the state, the government).
As I see it:
Inserted Video

My sympathies. You seem to have butted up against the hot issue running through human culture today. It is a thread running throughout the "civilized" world which is about to unravel.

Hi Steve,

How hard would it be to add the allaverages indi as an option to filter for trading with a major trend?

for fun try setting 5, .5, on the 15 min. for both bb stops settings.
30 stop loss, breakeven pips 20, 5.

At some point would be good to be able to trade %of balance.
Jiva,

Your ideas are more than "for fun"; worth serious considerations.

I trust Steve won't mind the over work, and proficient coders would be willing to assist him.

We also need to give him time necessary to accomplish things.

Thanks..
This bbstop has real promise for scalping and short term swing trading. It is sensitive enough to catch the jumpy moves. It doesn't just measure but also allows for probability. Following the deviation from a mean is very valuable.
By plotting lwsma (21 or 55) and only trading in the direction it shows I was able to greatly increase the probability of catching a decent move and eliminating and minimizing false signals. I'll be doing more research on the approrpiate moving averages and setting to use.
I like your idea of adding positions. It could greatly increase the overall gain. I'm not sure the ea is actually working correctly to do this. But even without position building it is showing good promise.

I have traded, and profited from, the method you posted originally.

I am sure your research will find other profitable ways to trade this versatile tool.

Please pm me Twee's mail adress also.

Can't believe what they intend to do to a man that gave, and is giving, so much here at the FF-community. No wonder Steve is beyond mad.

Hope everything turnes out fine.
Good luck Steve!

Jules - just put "Twee" in the search box at the top of the page. You'll find his profile.

Steve - just woke up to this nonsense. Email duly despatched.

Unbelievable, to me you practicly are FF

Should FF not wisen up (which i'm sure they will), I will be glad to provide you with a server, installed forum and the domain stevehopwoodforex.com so we all (including us rookies) can keep following and learning from you.
That way you at least get to see some google ads revenues for your labor

p.s. FF: We don't need a precedent but an exception for a exceptional member.
