(1) I don't think Nanningbob is using AO any longer. Maybe we should simply have an external input whether AO is used for setting pending orders or not.
I agree bubo. it would appear that Bob has completely abandoned AO. So we probably should have the option to turn on/off. I know this can done in the code as previously mentioned but that's not as user friendly. I have also noticed that when AO enacts a pending trade and it is in complete contradiction to RSI is when we get the wobbly trades. You will find that most of Bob's trades before have gave AO a miss were using RSI and AO was merely to confirm.
bubo wrote:(a) Place pending orders according to what we use now, but don't keep them very long. If price does not go where you predict it will go, then remove it - particularly if the RSI has moved over to the other side but price has not budged in that direction.
Yep - agree. This is one I would really like to have the option of.

I keep meaning to update, slipshods code on page 62, will do so in the next update.

Thanks for including this!
no, the envelope is only open for 1 minute, 17:00, -17:01
This GMT conversion business is always confusing to many traders. it would be nice to do it in PC time.
Andy, thank you for the update. Any luck with DD issues?
Cheers,

No DD still an issue, I've added option not to add to losing trades and the stop closer, under the previous pivot or above the next pivot, this may help.
Before if a STOP order was activated at R1, then dropped back below MR1, another STOP order would have been placed, then if price had moved above MR1, that would have been activated, then if price had continued down we would have had 2 losing trades heading for the stops.

Andy,
Thank you for explaining this.
On another note, what ea you use in your Myfxbook with this good results.

It's a correlation EA, if we have a pair that has more than 6 correlated pairs
agreeing and heading in the same direction the EA will get the lots that would be
used for that pair and divide the lot size by the 7 pairs heading in the same direction, then
send all seven, spreading the risk 7 ways.

I've not got round to finishing it right now, I got side tracked onto
the 10:4 EA.

in symbols to trade, is this recommended symbols or just an example for those who wants to trade selected symbols.
Just an example, if you only wanted to trade specific pairs, if any pairs are in that string and your crim doesn't offer that pair, you will get an error.
