- 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.
- Pipcruiser's Pipmasher and its stacking variant PPoS.
This variant is intended for people who already understand how PPoS works. You can read full details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =91&t=4098; you will need to read the details about trade stacking if you are not already familiar with them. PPoS arose from the original Pipcruiser's Pipmasher, so read about that if you want the full story.
To summarise what PPoS does:
- ascertain the overall trend:
- previous MN1 and W1 candle must have move in the same direction - both up or both down. Mixed movement means no trade.
- in a trending market, wait for the D1 candle to move in the opposite direction - a retrace. When it does:
- set pending trades above the high of the previous D1 candle for a buy, or below the low for a sell.
- send stacked pendings as set in the inputs.
This gives inveterate tinkerers shed-loads of opportunities to tinker inveterately, so have fun. The bot includes all the usual stuff, so I attach the shell user guide as well

EA coding
