The New Beast!

[snoopier]

Hi,

i modified the balance function for myself to get only one currency in one direction
like eurusd long and usdchf long is allowed
The original code doesnt work properly

Best Regards
Dennis

bool BalancedPair(int type)
{
if (IsTesting()) return (true);

{
sType1 = "Buy";
BuyCcy1 = first.currency;

Hi Pippo, Snoopier,

i am a little baffled how to get this done. I cant find anything in the simple beast similar to the snippet so i can make the changes.
I find something along these lines in slopey Beast, but obviously, i think this is meant for Simple Beast, right?. Help, please.
TIA and MIA for now ,
cuz

George, wish I could help, but I'm not a good coder. I must fiddle around with this until I get it to work... a tatons, comme toujours...

Hi,

I have replaced the old balanced pair function with the new posted by snoopier.


Please check if it functions correctly.

Muy amable de usted Jose Luis, muchisimas gracias...

I have Simple Beast on 15 pairs. Looks like Snoopier, and Jose Luis have done great work. Again, thank you both. Currently have 2, "related," pairs in play, Sell xxx/Usd, and Sell Usd/xxx. Will now be monitoring recovery processes. George, what have you seen so far?

[cuzgeorge]

Pippo,
i have set up and not had a trade yet, 12 pairs, based on minimum spread from my crim.

I'm using a combination of a set file i picked up from JL a long time ago for this, and i changed the recovery to 1,1,2,4. cant remember what else right now. Will post that also on fxpage.

I also have'nt had time to update the fxpage but will be getting through it on the weekend i hope. I'm terribly bogged down right now with too much going on.
Even my live accounts i managed to recover , today, finally!, but lost one acct (ALPARI- and not showing) when when JPY opened so ridiculously Sunday night.
Hope this BEAST works out, i dont need so many pairs going in the same direction at the same time.
sorry to be vague, but will update ASAP.

Heres the link for shortcut,

Thanks Pippo for keeping us informed. I'm very curious to see how this works.
