Hi in there
You guys amaze me - a complete dumbo re coding. Just a minor suggestion re the new name for Nanningbob etc - how about "NannyBauto" plus whatever version suffix you like. Just fewer letters is all
Cheers

I feel this EA would benefit greatly from divergence detection. There are times when the signals open an order that is a high probability loser. For example on GbpUsd and EurUsd today. Price was nicely over the Daily and Weekly pivots, but it was pretty obvious that there was a high probability of price breakdown. The EA went long on both but it was very clear that a reversal was forming. Divergence was clearly shown in RSI, Trix, and also in WOH 2x1 and H4 Slope (H1 and H4 charts). This type of situation can be handled in each chart by selecting the Only Short box on the common tab of the EA, but it would be great if it could be automated. Coding the divergence between price and WOH 2x1 would make the EA more profitable.

Hi when I attempt to click on the link found on Page 1, I get a 'page not found'.

This EA is an attempt to trade the system Bob describes at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.

How am I suppose to read about the EA and its strategy when the link is broken?

Finally got the EA working on all charts and got in to some trades.
Currently short on Aud/Usd & Usd/Chf.
I set my lot size to 0.02 and risk percent to 2. For some reasons the lot size taken by the EA was 0.1 on both trades. I can't really explain why.

Also, if we specify the lot size and the Risk Percent at the same time in the EA, they may be in conflict. So which information would the EA use?

Sorry to ask all the dum questions here. I tried to read a lot before asking but could not find an answer to this.
Thank you all.

Set risk to 0 to use specified lots, otherwise lots will be calculated by risk percentage.

hi APQN,

I set my lot size to 0.02 and risk percent to 2. For some reasons the lot size taken by the EA was 0.1 on both trades. I can't really explain why.

Also, if we specify the lot size and the Risk Percent at the same time in the EA, they may be in conflict. So which information would the EA use?

If you set any value other then 0 in RiskPercent the lotsize is calculated on the Risk Percent setting.

If you want to use a fixed lotSize make your lotsize setting in the Parameter Lot and set RiskPercent to 0.

happy trading,

NeoTrader
