Holy Graily Bob 'n BAS

SERIOUS WARNING

Most Forex traders lose all their money.
Using the robot posted here in trading Forex does not guarantee success.
Trading this robot could lead to serious financial loss.
Trading this robot without understanding its underlying trading strategies guarantees traders will lose their money.
This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.
At best, a trading robot is only 90% as good as the manual strategy it trades. At best. At worst, it can be much less effective. If the strategy is rubbish, so is the robot.
To trade this robot, you have to understand:
- How to use EA's.
- Bob's HGI indicator.
- BAS

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS POST http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 41#p111241 There was a Forex bloodbath on Jan 15th 2015 that you need to know about.

Holy Graily Bob 'n BAS applies a simplified version of the Buyers And Sellers concept traded by BAS, to HGB. HGI generates a signal that HGB 'n BAS will only trade when there are more buyers than sellers for a buy trade, or vice-versa for sells. Pay a quick visit to read more about BAS at: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=4541

We do not bother with the higher time frames here. Negative Buyers or Sellers values muck up the Power calculation, so HGB'nB will display, "Insufficient volume for trading" when this happens.

The only new input is CloseOnOppositeBasSignal. This tells HGB'nB to close buy trades when Sellers overtake Buyers and the Power reaches your MinimumPowerForTrading. Vice versa for sell trades.

None of this affects HGB's working, so go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =87&t=4154 for the HGB user guide and basket management EA. You will need to visit Bob's HGI thread to download HGI - http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =88&t=3964. Remember to enter the correct indi version into HGB'nB HGI_Name input, or he will be exceptionally rude to you.

You will not be able to make sense of any of the HGB ea's unless you know what HGI is telling you, so read about this in Bob's thread. Confused noobs can ask for clarification in the "HGI for beginners" thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =88&t=3985.

Sorry, but why is it so that all the EA info dissapears after attaching the EA, and instead I get this info? I don't use any other EA's to close the trades...

Your original profit target has been reached and so the EA has hung up its hat. Just as in the first version of HGB. And every other flavour since.

Don't expect me to be able to sort out what it is that you are doing wrong at your end. Astonishing though this news is, I am not a mind reader. I do not have remote viewing of your platform.

Do you experienced any strange behaviour thus far? I got the same trade as you on my GP demo but after the trade was set up the EA uninitialized itself from the chart. Furthermore I got a lot of TP and SL error messages

I have had problems with the EA disappearing from my chart after taking a trade. We best hope it happens to Steve or we will be searching for the fix on our own.
