EA is performing pretty well except for one flaw which can be seen illustrated on the two charts below. When the indicator line changes colour permanently the bot works fine but when the colour changes and then changes back within one candle the EA ...

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

KH, yes I agree that the short should have been closed on the next candle, in fact it carried on throughout the day until I closed it manually late this afternoon when it was over 70 pips down. Of course that is why we demo test first and if this ...

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

As Steve has only created this EA in the last 24 hours nobody is quite sure yet, I'm running on EURUSD, EURJPY, GBPJPY, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and EURGBP.

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Yep looks pretty good to me on D1, I've been forward running on H1 and M30 this morning, currently +158 and +280 as I type. Edit; on 6 pairs

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

OK Steve, I tested this strategy by sitting looking at the chart, because I do not understand coding I had assumed thay whatever piece of information was used to draw the indi line on the chart could also be used to initiate a trade, this is ...

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Steve, I think that in this particular case the full indi (including the bit about drawing the line ) may be important to the stategy, the colour of the indi line needs to be what controls the trading, this would have prevented the earlier EURGBP ...

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

I was just wondering if there was anything "extra" in the indicator to prevent it repainting, if not then then the above chart would seem to suggest that it does in fact repaint.

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Not sure what happened here, should not have traded as there was no change of colour. Steve does the EA take it's cue from the standard CCI indicator or the coded "SuperTrend" indicator?

plateman's CCI (aka SuperTrend) auto-trading robot by Steve Hopwood

Steve that's great, thank you very much! Please remember guys this is just an idea at the moment, usual warnings about live trading apply but at least we'll now be able to test it properly. The only thing I don't like is the name, I would have ...

Pinhead@s EA Results — I have been running the version of this EA available for download on Sunday afternoon 21st November, I started it late afternoon on Monday 22nd on Alpari UK demo trading 0.4 lots otherwise OOTB. I ran it on 6 X M30 ...

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Possible cure, during testing last week I had to set ECN to true even though I'm using Alpari UK which is not ECN, worth a try.

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Thanks Steve, I'll be running it on 6 pairs this week.

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Steve, for me at least at this early stage Pinhead's bot shows more promise than the Vegas one, does the version in post one now take into account the position of the 50MA?

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Pinhead, has the version of your robot downloadable from post #94 been fixed to take account of the position of the 50MA?

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Yes, it's trading in the direction that the price crosses ALF irrespective of whether ALF is above or below the 50MA, still, shows some promise.

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

I'm missing out on the GBPUSD short because of "Trade context busy", how long does Vegas try to place the trade? I seem to recall that someone suggested a script that ensured trades were placed, maybe a good idea to incorporate something like that ...

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Cheers Steve, final count was 10 trades, it seemed to be when the price revisited the trigger line. Last night I had had a USDCAD short, it opened when the price touched the top channel line and immediately retraced without re-touching the line, ...
