Awesome - original version

[SteveHopwood]

I have done some pruning of some lamentable posts here tonight. They cost one member the right to post at all and came close to doing so for another. So:

• if you question disappeared, assume I think you are a cretin, have made a note of your user name and will ban you altogether should you bother me again.
• if your post was attempting to answer one of those stupid questions, then thank you. You were kind and trying to help. I applaud your efforts.

All new members of SHF receive my Welcome message. It is entirely up to you whether you read it or not. I do not care.

Fact is, I made it clear that SHF is not a democracy. It is a ruthless meritocracy and lazy, stupid dimwits are unwelcome. Members earn the right to post freely by first posting intelligently.

I am about to add this to post 1: people who post in such a manner as to prove that they could not be arsed to read the user guide will be banned immediately from SHF.

I trust I make my feelings abundantly clear. Do feel free to make your final post at SHF one that asks for more elucidation.

For those of you who are interested, I have uploaded a 2nd version of "Awesome Holy Graily Bob" with the following changes:

1) I have added an option to allow Rad trading (the small 45 degree angled arrows) or not on the HGI indi.
2) I have added Flying Buddha as an additional filter. There is an option to use or not (i.e. "UseFB). This is in addition to the other indis (namely Peaky and SuperSlope). If all 3 indis are used, it means a trade will only be taken if all 3 indis agree, as well as HGI as the trade trigger.
3) I have added a Ranging Filter. This filter ensures that there is sufficient movement on a currency pair. It will look back x number of candles and determine if there was a vertical movement of y pips over the x number of candles or not. If not - a trade for that currency pair will not trigger, eg. check the last 10 candles for the M5 period and determine whether there was at least a 15 pip vertical movement. If not, no trade will trigger.

Have fun!

Nice one! Interesting to say the least.

... and I think we should crowd fund a full time position at SHF for a tester we can lock in a room with some supercomputers and allow no exit until the magic formula has been obtained

So much potential here at SHF right now!

Just thought I would post my trade report. I banged it onto a chart and WTF.....

To be honest I could not believe it. I am using TJF weekly set and a bit like TJF thought what the hell lets go for $400 weekly profit on 10K demo.

This has been running since last friday, so approx 4 days, completely hands off. In terms of testing 4 days is rubbish but it is nearly there.

It is def AWESOME

Sawadee Krup (Hello in Thai)

That looks AWESOME Andwen ! :hi:
Could you share the .set file ? I can't find it

Perhaps I may suggest to add USDTHB in version Awesome 1H ?
THB (Thai Baht) happens to be my own currency, so quite obvious that I love trading that specific pair

In the code I added the following:

static const string factor10000[]={"USDTHB"};

as well as the following:

for(j=0; j<ArraySize(factor10000); j++)
{
if(StringFind(Xsymbol,factor10000[j])!=-1) xFactor=10000;

Not sure if this will do the trick with 5 digits, as I just started it, so I can't see any orders or errors yet.

I did notice in the code that if not 2,3,4 digits, it will automatically use 5 digits, but somehow I can't get any trades on USDTHB using default for 2 weeks, so I went digging myself into the code and already added a few missing ones such as USDSGD.

Another addition I will try, is crypto currencies, although I haven't found a broker yet doing all kinds of cryptos, some brokers do offer BTCUSD (Bitcoin) with 2 digits, so perhaps that can be added in version H as well?

I have no other idea how to improve Awesome, because it looks pretty AWESOME already

Have a lovely day everyone krup

Hey guys, Coenraad has just sent me a version that amalgamates Awesome with his own Awesome Holy Graily Bob. Outstanding stuff.

I will write a user guide and let you have it in time for the markets opening after the weekend.

zaguy has combined this original version with his Awesome Holy Graily Bob and added much more - http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 14#p156014

I am leaving this thread open for those of you who prefer to stick with the simplicity of this version.
