Okay, so you're not the only one. It came up empty for me too. I have another version of TDI, but it's not the same and doesn't look as good (provided the markets are swinging; in a flat down or up trend it will give false signals). I suspect there ...

Lot of these trades are VERY brief before > BE stop kicks in and then it's hit, re 1-4 mins. Basically scalps if BE stop set ASAP. Reminds me of standard pickup line by SAS at Hereford: "Hon, care for a [rumpy dump dump dump, whatever].... Hon, ...

Three Comments: (1) ADR OB_OS bot - Did well considering it was a big trend, not ranging, day. Small amounts on a 50K demo: it won $130 and lost $190, for net -$60. That's a win in my books on a day it's not adapted to....yet Two trades, EUR and ...

Lightbulb — Hi, Steve, I'm such a friggin doorknob, I missed the obvious.... Your exit on a SAR breakout of the +/- 0.7 ADR level should be an hourly CLOSE back inside the hourly 20 Bollinger band used as a trailing stop Why? 1) it ...

AD2008's idea — On the "AD2008's" ATR vs. standard deviation idea, that is very interesting! Never seen that before, but am not sure how we could mathematically compare the two in a bot because they are in different units (apples and oranges; ...

Steve, I'm getting out of my depth here with the mechanics of bot entry orders, as I'm used to manual order entry/discretionary trades. But you have the logic of the system here clearly. I can say what follows.... On TP and SL I am coming at in two ...

Great, thanks! So, if it's set to the same magic number as Invisible's version of the Scooby EA (the one I want to control), it will control that EA then? What would one put in trade comment if one was doing it that way instead?

Hi, Invisible, I have a dumb question as someone with very little experience running bots. NOT been my thing, so far. How would I get the MPTM trade manager etc. running (with your slightly changed values) on the same chart as a I put your version ...

GU is both ranging and trending/breakout out: (**To see the chart text, you'll have to double-click on the image to enlarge it**) Red boxes = failed mean reversion trades (3) (first set's entries/exits on far left missed just by a few pips each ...

Okay. Not trying to trade today, LOL, or test. It was live on Friday. The bot started and could be seen on my chart etc., and it properly posted its breakout levels etc., but no trades were placed because of the following error messages: ...

Yes, the trade volume is the key issue. Any spread, no matter how small, is like reverse compound interest to the brokers/banks if there are hundreds of trades. 100% accuracy system!!!! And infinite RR 1:0 = $1 wins 100% of the time:$0 losers (no ...

Hey, hey... — the wholesalers/liquidity providers = banks are happy, esp. if we are taking hundreds of bot trades at any spread, no matter the size. Spread makes not much diff. in that case. It's like a dream for them: gone to heaven. The more ...

Grail v. 1.6 — Hi, Scooby, Just a random thought: do we need the daily TF in this bot for 20/200 EMAs? 20/200EMAs are pretty darn long on daily TF, esp. if we have already have these EMA's on 4hr TF (200 EMA on 4hr TF is an 800 hour EMA, or a ...

Grail v. 1.6 — The MTF trade entry logic on this EA looks impeccable. Like something out of Larry Connors' book, Street Smarts. Brief demo results so far (last 2 days, and not run continuously): - plus 1% on demo account test - 5 winners vs. 2 ...

Scooby-Doo ADR OB_OS auto trading robot Steve, This looks an elegant mean reversion EA (though not simple to code, I recognize) with no trend variables to clutter it up. I see that you've: - split the ADR around the day's open, ie. entry point is ...

LOL, that's a good point and looks correct, but it's simply the last trade that the bot (your version of Scooby's 20 ema - 200 ema etc. EA) took. No discretion here and not a favourite trade or pair of mine: the system simply took the short while ...

Thanks. On fixing the TP and SL, the problem with EA's is that they alway fix these by definition because they are mechanical systems. At least the ADR concept, which is already in the system (that's good), is adaptive to recent market volatility. ...
