I can't remember off of the top of my head but there's a way to take the first 6 chars of Symbol() and reset those to a new string variable like Sym. Then just use Sym everywhere.

Well, you get the idea.

Being blonde in all that I am. LOL

The scripts currently cannot handle suffixes so yes that would be a problem. I obviously released too early, but it's nice you are all catching these bugs.

nondisclosure00,

Actually, I had the same thought and ran several consecutive defrag cycles to reduce that impact. I do that and an intensive virus sweep each week to keep my machine running without issue.

I did mention to RR that each year I rebuild my PC. That is normally a New Years weekend task. I will certainly re-attempt the ARB install and testing once that effort is complete and report my findings here.

XP should be ok on 32 bit. Anything more and he's ran out of memory.

His HD is probably fragged all to hell too. Time for him to do some standard maintance on it; clean the drive, defrag etc.

Pair = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 0, 6);
Suffix = StringSubstr(Symbol(), 6, StringLen(Symbol()) - 6);

Problem is, some brokers have pairs that are both suffix and non suffix.

Landing by just to ask if you've managed to get suffix issue resolved. I also want to ask the country code of the contact number you've provided and the times you are available to make recordings of those interested in the alpha version of your system.

Country code: US (1) and I have the suffix thing mostly working. Currently working on the signal management. What currently happens is the master sends the trade command to slave 1, waits for the response, then sends the trade command to slave 2.

I'm trying to get the commands sent to both slave 1 and slave 2 simultaneously.

can't do it. MT4 is single threaded. The commands coming out of Master 1 will come out in order; not all at once.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to send the order to the slave, and not have to wait 5-8 seconds between orders. Worst case, I'll just have to send the order off without waiting for confirmation and hope the slaves will be able to handle it successfully.

Well, there IS a way. Drop off a value into shared memory, have the slave come get the value (value tells it what to do) then have the slave put the result back into shared memory (successful or not); master reads memory and then actions accordingly.

nondisclosure seems to be knowledgeable in programming as well, I'm guessing if the guy had the mq4 files then he and RR together could gang up on the concept and figure it out sooner.

There's a guy reviewing an arb system updating his results daily check it out on this link, so its not a matter of whether its possible or not, it just needs to be written well, and the right people for that happen to be in this very forum.

The guy reviewing the system doesn't even understand it.

Jason takes his trades, one buy one sell, and treats them as a BASKET. Thus, when you add the 2 trades TOGETHER, he'll close them at a TP level (where this is set I have no idea) that the both of the trades added together get to.

Close, the basket concept I agree with, the TP is ideally set where the normal spread should be. So for the arb script that I'm releasing, I'm programming it so it calculates pip profit as the spread created by the basket of brokers. So when the profit reaches a certain spread level, close the trade.

You're talking distance between the 2 brokers prices, right?

The one being discussed here is expected to be way better than Forexarb because the transactions will be automated. It doesn't necessarily mean that the system will be without flaw, but a genius is surely at work and keeping us hanging on the edges of our seats while he's at it. Just keep on checking the thread, hopefully your patience will reward you in a couple of days.

brilliant, i got the demo of forex arb, and although it seems all pretty with all them trades its got listed for anything from 1-9 pips each, being able to take them is a different story hence a 2k-4k price tag is extreme for that. I will watch this thread and see what comes of it, seems the thread owner is doing a good job and keep it up

@deankenny21

See the video at the beginning of this thread. That's basically what it will look like. And you can already see how much faster it is than Fielder's arb--and according to the professional programmers, my method is still slow.

I'm working on this as much as I can shooting for a release by New Years.

The main problem I'm having is reducing the time it takes to execute a full arb trade. Currently it's 8 seconds--not fast enough.

Hang tight!
