Desky. TDesk's trading drone.

[SteveHopwood]

V 1i is in post 1, with hedging implemented. Details in the UG.

You folks really should try coding your own stuff to implement TDesk's signals. It is a joy to do.

I forgot to add the Tests Database code to OnInit(), so this needs to go at the top of the function:

Code: Select all

   if(WriteFileForTestDatabase) 
      ChartSaveTemplate(0,StringFormat("ZZT2MTPL-%s-%s-%s-%d-%d-%d-%d","SHF","Desky","MULSYM",Period(),AccountNumber(),TimeCurrent(),MagicNumber));

Here is one for you codeslingers. Yesterday and today I awoke to Desky proclaiming that it was rollover time and enjoying a pleasant nap.

It is the same damn code that has worked flawlessly ever since Thomas wrote it. Can any of you guys see where the problem lies - because I sure cannot.

[SteveHopwood]

Forget what I wrote earlier about the Tests Database. The code is already there, just in OnTimer() - that is where Thomas told me to put it and I had forgotten.

The Rollover in progress thingy turns out to be a simple display thingy.

V 1j is in post 1 with the "Done for the week" stuff and John's decreasing Friday basket TP code - details in the UG if you are unfamiliar with it.

[SteveHopwood]

no urgency but can I add a request for % profit per day basket profit closure as used in AwesomeSS :youknow:

I forgot to say that I have added this as well.

I forgot to say that I have added this as well.

Many thanks

Anyone else having the issue where it's only opening the one hedge trade and not any subsequent trades?

Have looked through code, can't see why it only hedges one pair.

Hi
on my terminal it close trade as soon as it open, No clue what is wrong.

[SteveHopwood]

V 1k is in post 1, with the usual post trade attempt sleep period applied to the individual pairs.

I have added the code that stops Desky trying to send trades when either of the closure scripts in post 1 or MPTM are closing trades.

Sorry. I missed this on Thursday. Blame The Flatulent Beauty etc.

Looking at the code and nothing to do with what we are discussing here, highlights a bloop. Line 3830 in V 1k is this: pairIndex++;

This should clearly be:
pairIndex--;

Desky is programmed to send one initial market trade only. He then sends no further market trades. Instead he can be told to send a grid of stop and limit orders.

He is programmed to send one hedge trade only. Maybe he should also send a hedge grid if UseGridTrading is enabled. That could get messy.

Maybe we need a SendAGridWithHedge input? Should not be too hard to implement.

Have looked through code, can't see why it only hedges one pair.

Desky will hedge anything that needs hedging. You really need more than one pair hedging? Your trading system is bonkers. Don't expect Desky to protect you from your own insanity.

Mind, that reminds me to add shirt protection to him.

Hi,
i have this problem:
Setting
-- All trades belong to a single basket --
TreatAllPairsAsBasket = true
BasketTargetCash = 50
Now the cash is higher than the set, but the basket is not closed.
Problem as always with my old eyes?
Thanks for answer.
