What do you think of the-game's SL fix? Never mind. Geez, I really need to start payin' attention.

Steve--The chart shows why I'd like to have a different entry point, that being the high/low instead of the close of the crossing candle. I monkeyed around with the code and the changes I made are in red. Will that do it? Or would you rather I kept ...

Steve--Found an error in the code. void GetTrend() { trend = none; if (!UseMovingAverage) { if (RsiVal > RsiUpTrend) trend = up; if (RsiVal < RsiDownTrend) trend = up; return; HAH! Told ya.

This is what I can't get my head around. RSI is 42.6. Screen comment says Trend is: Up. Mike

Thanks.

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Can someone please, please explain this to me: UseMovingAverage is set to false. I've modified the RSI TF to 240, 14 period. (The white arrows are a separate indicator showing where RSI crosses the 50 level.) With the MA invalidated, doesn't the EA ...

I assume it's like changing .php to .zip, but I can't seem to do it with this file. Hey, the-game, could you possibly just list the changes you made from the OOTB setup? Thanks Mike

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Yeah, it should be simple. I use OpenSource instead of Word. Maybe that's why. I dunno. Never had a problem renaming a file before. What I don't understand is why my stop loss settings don't work. On the chart below, I set StopLoss to 15. It should ...

I downloaded it but couldn't convert it to a set file.

It would appear, so far, that either 15 or 30M is the best bet. I've got one tester set on 4H, just out of curiousity. It's all trial and error right now as far as settings. I can't get the StopLoss setting to work, so it's difficult to judge ...

Sure. For a buy: 1) ALF must be above the EMA. 2) RSI must be above 50. 3) Price must cross ALF from below. 4) A subsequent candle must move higher than the high of the crossing candle. Opposite for a sell. That's the original version. Personally, I ...

The EA caught the wave of dismal US economic news and rode it for some nice gains. Good piece of luck, I suppose, but at least the bot had us on the right side of the trade. I have 2 demos running, currently the 30M is up around 450p and the 1H ...

Maestrodforex, a member here at FF, has been following this thread closely and testing the EAs. He PM'd me with some nice results from yesterday. He doesn't have posting access to Steve's threads, so I thought I'd post them here for him. These are ...

Hey Peter. Yes, I absolutely agree that tight trade management is crucial, along with logical trading hours. Now, I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying, but what drove me nuts trying to use MAs is that you would miss so many big ...

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Not sure what all that means, but glad to see some renewed activity with it. My little laptop is maxed out atm, or I'd take your modified version for a test drive, so please let us know how it does. Mike

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

You are correct, Peter. This version uses Alf only. Earlier in the thread, Steve coded a couple of bots with both Alf and Alma. You'd have to look back to find them, but I don't think they tested very well. Can you modify code? If so, give it a try. ...

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Yeah, I know. I was just making a point for Pete about not being concerned whether the bot would need to handle low-volume times and whipsaw, and therefore, not going to spend any more time trying to deal with that issue. Mike

It's in post #171. Mike

Vegas Algorithm auto-trader by Steve and Squalou

Hi Pete. Can't recall if I've previously posted my main reason for wanting to automate this Alf/Alma system, so at the risk of repeating myself, I'll state it here. It was to capitalize on the strong, definitive moves that often occur during the ...

Steve, in MetaEditor, I made these changes: lot size from .01 to .1, TakeProfit from 100 to 80, StopLoss from 100 to 20, CriminalECN from false to true, RSI from 10 to 8 and UseMovingAverage from true to false. Would that cause any problems? PH
