Hello fxglider,

it should pop up once you attach arbomat.mq4 and it has finished calculations.

before you attached arbomat.mq4, make sure you edit the path of Rterm.exe in arbomat.mq4 to point to the location of your rterm.exe

best regards.

Hi, can someone please assist. I've installed all the files and I've attached arbomat.mq4 to my MT4 platform. How do I get the R Graphics to show in the R Console? Do I import it from the R Console or would it popup one I attach arbomat.mq4 to my chart? I'm really stuck here...

Thanks,

Did you specify the rterm.exe file in arbomat then recompile? Make sure R is working by itself correctly from your programs menu.

The more I read into the EA, the more I want to start using it and posting results to the thread. For anyone interested in new ways of data analysis, I would recommend to also do some manual loading of excel files and work in R directly.

Just found this example: http://quanttrader.info/public/testForCoint.html I think should work with FX, shall try it out in the coming days. This is what quantitative trading is all about. I don't have a PHD in math, but so much code is already out there, just has to be connected.

Thanks for the help. I found that my Rterm.exe file was not in my "bin", but under a folder in "bin" called "i386". That is why I never could pickup Rterm.exe, but now it's working great! That's why it's good to ask questions!

Thanks!

Why would anyone need an EA for opening trades according to the system? Is it so difficult to make 6 manual entries once per day or week or even month?
Unbelievable that this happens to every single promising thread...
What's your problem?
Nobody told you to use the EA, so why blame me? Leave others the choise to use or not it. No harm with it.

Sometimes I wonder why someone invented cars, you don't need it, because you have your legs to move around!!!

I certainly do not use EAs for opening trades. I trade for living, so for me it is a (hard) job not a joke.

What I meant is that most good threads have been killed after people started talking about how to use some EA instead of developing the system. Just sorry to see it happening again and again.

I respect your opinion, but I don't think good threads are "killed" by EA's, no way. Probably they weren't so good threads or methods.
If an idea is good, is GOOD with or without EA.

Very often they are. In cases when majority of participants start discussing how to attach the EA to chart and make it work.
Hope, this thread will not lose focus totally.

Go for it, but this thread is focused on all or most all dollar pairs. Focus on specific pairs at your own peril. You will run into a number of challenges as we have seen on the Overlay Hedge EA thread.

As you know, I'm using R to time when I turn the Overlay EA on. The same should work manually as you've mentioned, but everyone needs to know that's a different ballgame.
I've changed time frame to 1 min, and left everything else the same. So far I haven't had a losing trade. (trade being a combination of 2 trades, EU and GU)

Here's one I just opened: buy 0.62 lots of EU, sell 1.0 lots of GU, arbomat is -2.1, will close trade when arbomat hits 0.

Quite interesting, I haven't tried trading off the MT charts generated like this on short TF. Excellent, that's why I posted the thread to get new ideas and insights. Any coding efforts are appreciated thanks Sym we are hear to make money in some means or another and its people like you offering support that makes the thread good and not at the bottom of the search engine

Could you explain the usage of Arbomat number? How big should it be for taking a trade? And how many bars do you calculate for m1 chart?

Thanks to you Dirtybrown for the thread...
I don't understand people who don't appreciate efforts of others...

I use default settings in arbomat, haven't changed anything there, I don't even know how. I opened all my trades when a new candle would appear, and arbomat was different than zero. I closed all my trades when arbomat would hit 0. Now, I have no idea why I haven't loose a trade yet. Maybe I found a holy grail, or, which is more likely, I've been incredibly lucky.

A very nice explanation
Still, I would like to understand what the Arbomat number is showing... I have seen it being -4.0 and -4.5, so it cannot be standard deviation. Would appreciate if someone explained it...

Ok, just realised why sometimes its says buy if you put it on one chart and sell if you put it on the other chart, its because the deviation is totally different between the two, so I've just been choosing the chart with the most deviation, and it works fine
