Scalping New York

[celte83]

Hi,
When you have a little experience, it's obvious. Two or three little things, two or three "details" and that changes everything.
For me there is no wrong way, there is only one: to win.

Humility.
Good health and good luck

Interesting you are using the 15min timeframe for Bob's moving average. I was considering using a shorter timeframe after this weeks losses. Afterall we are trying to close a basket within an hour or two at the most, so the longer term MA doesn't have as much relevance.

Don't get me wrong, Bob's MA is legendary on this forum and has proven to be a very useful tool, but perhaps using a shorter time period will help this strategy. Certainly worth testing out. Perhaps this was what Celte83 was trying to say but unfortunately for him he went about it in totally the wrong way. In my view you don't criticize the geniuses that have worked on this forum, and in fact own it, for years.

Also noted you only had one trading time of 8 (broker time), so I presume you aren't trading the NY session?

Hi Paul,
yes, I use the M15 Trend. With another manual BO Trading its very usefull too.
Here the friday report. As you can see I am trading the LO- and NYO Session.

Hi Max,
I'm using the original version of Scalpy except for that minor coding character change that Steve mentioned in the first day or two. I'm using default settings with the exception of lot size (I'm using 1 standard lot.) So far, its seems the basket hedge effect is successfully keeping the drawdowns light and the breakeven function effective, while preserving profit opportunities.

but i also cheated as i added ForceLoadHistoricalData() to the top of sendBasket() to make sure all H! and H4 candles are updated before all symbols are scanned,

That is a great idea. Can you post the code please, so I can add it?

Sure, attached the Scalpy with ForceloadHistory.
2 lines are added to the top of sendBasket()

//All symbols in marketpanel
ForceLoadHistoricalData();
Sleep(120000);//sleep 2 min so Empty4 can update the history file

You might want to set TradingWaitMinutes=3; to compensate for the 2 waiting minutes,

The 3 required functions, adapted to load only H1 and H4 in this case are at the bottom of the file.
void ForceLoadHistoricalData()
bool ForceLoadOneSym(
int barsWithRetry(
//---------


The file was updated to fix a bug that prevented it from trading on June 7

Well, it seems that you have no problem to move our discussion from private to public and this thread is for the Scalpy on page 1, the answer is no.

I tried reaching you twice in private but my messages were stuck in outbox for days...couldn't think of any other way of reaching you? It appears my messages I sent several days ago finally reached you today.
