Hope everyone has a great week-end. As the market is closed, I'm bored, so I'm reading the BB code, trying to learn something..:-) I'm really intrigued by that strange behaviour that BB sometimes goes in pause mode... And I found this, right after ...

Well, that's what we doing atm, I also try a optimization for specific pairs regarding volatility values...but tommorow is another day, so good night all :-)

Also doing some more backtests which are looking BRILLIANT, even if they are kind of incomplete. I said that, they're incomplete, if you gonna check the report order by order, you can notice that are several periods of entire months even, when BB ...

Today 26.08 BB last version — Have put it on 10 daily charts, as "blind" (not analising market conditions, I mean), here's the output. Default settings, lots 0.02. Not a single error reported, pendings deleted where and when they should be. ...

No ideea, sorry...btw, as I remember, you have to initiate the 1st position by moving the line(red) to the low of a previous candle...please read the instructions in pdf, anyway, it's better. ;-)

It's ok, mine it's showing good results, with 90% accuracy, so it's not far from reality

Have not tried Caterpillar with the latest BB versions, but it works standalone. Hint is to select only one direction at a time, BUY or SELL.

Steve, I'm sorry, english is not my native language, but ...how can I express more clearly...BB is not closing the no.1 order(original) according to the rules, IF there are still pendings unfilled(price has not reached them to trigger). So, if that ...

Ok, taking the risk of becoming annoying, I must repeat this: the bot has a glitch that reduces it's profitability more than 50%! And I'm Visual testing this, you can't see it on blind testing. I'm testing IBFX AU... #1 If a*edited* trend (not ...

I wll take a look at those green spots as areas of high resistance/support, also ;-)

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Well, Rascacio, if you read again, that's the Carolco strategy, implemented into BB. It does exactly what it is meant to do. And, yes, BB is hardcoded into Daily TF, no matter which chart you use.

Got it Steve, I must say I appreciate your dedication in this, but maybe you will find (again) some time to look at that issue that I mentioned before... I'm running atm this test on G/J from 2008 until present and there's still the ...

Well, from my understanding, as they are selected in options, must have been there too, only reason not to be ordered is the trades are ranging trades continued into the trend trades, so the bot doesn't open pendings...but "Aloow change of origin to ...

From what I see in your strategy statement, Hiredwhip, it seems there are no open Carolco orders...even they are selected in the settings...can you confirm this?

BigBob: Nanningbob V10 auto-trading robot by SteveHopwood

That's basically what I use too...it's very strange, anyway, same settings, diff brokers, mine not working. Started IBFX demo now... Stupid question: Would running 2 platforms on same comp can cause those problems? I got another MT4 open on ...

BigBob: Nanningbob V10 auto-trading robot by SteveHopwood

I'm gonna kill LUC, then :-) Just downloaded IBFX Aussie, so we backtest on same platform, at least...

BigBob: Nanningbob V10 auto-trading robot by SteveHopwood

Ok, stopped this for now, as it ends nowhere...sell is still open and not closing in any way...attached the report and used settings, maybe I did something wrong... Tester shows lots of errors, could this be a problem that generates the other ...

As I understand, Hedge is taking care of this, that's why "Recovery" set to false...

BigBob: Nanningbob V10 auto-trading robot by SteveHopwood

Was about to ask you about your broker...cause I think I'm gonna get a hammer and finish my comp...I'm using FXSol, anyway, dunno if it's broker or pure MT4 crap sh..t, but after every backtest, I need to restart computer,delete all logs from ...

BigBob: Nanningbob V10 auto-trading robot by SteveHopwood

Yeah, that's my point of view too, think you should move this into BB thread :-) Anyway, I removed the SL from pendings, but we still got a problem with global closure...read there ;-)
