Those markets are open again folks. Good luck to all of you.

Cheers

Weekly round-up:

Bob has added a couple of trading methods to 10.7. Details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 643#p89643

arts has uploaded an indi that will allow us to keep crosshairs on our chart. Details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =27&t=3658

Khalid (Khalaad) is calling time on his contributions here. Read his valedictory at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 181#p94181 I hope you read this, Khalid. Thanks for everything. We will miss you.
….........................

Bob's latest (10.7) is at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 49&start=0 This is unbelievably good and wonderfully simple. The thingy with Bob is, every time he thinks about a new strategy, or an extension to an older one, he is bringing to the thought process over 7 years of continual experimentation and experience. That is why each successive system is such a huge improvement on the previous. Tommaso has coded the indi that gives traders all the information they need to trade the system. The indi is an epic bit of coding; I am awestruck.”

I have produced some helper EA's to ease the pain of waiting for Sto7 to trigger a trade.. Find these at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =37&t=3561

….........................

Tommaso and I have created a shell EA that coders will be able to use to produce quick and easy auto-traders incorporating their fav indicators etc. You can find this at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =37&t=3565

….........................
I have used the shell to creat Best Bob - http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =80&t=3566
….........................

Tommaso has started a Knowledge Base that will gradually evolve into a fabulous resource. Access it by clicking the KB icon from anywhere within our forum.

….........................
Bold Bob continues to develop and looks promising. Download it from http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3484.

….........................
Bob's 10.6 thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 454#p80454 is fantastic. Bob is transforming the trading practices of a lot of previously unsuccessful traders.

10.6 has been superseded by 10.7; it still has validity and is still worth reading about. Read 10.7 first, then return to see what you can gain from 10.6
…..........................
We have a trading signals service that I am backing because if comes from Jose Juis, one of our most respected members. Read the details at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 998#p92998

…..........................
FXAW Entropy news for those of you still hesitating about joining. The signals generated by Craig's algorithm are exceptionally good. They are sent to a signals receiver that sits on the trading platform. A single 'slave' EA translates these signals into a form that the trade management EA's ('Tradebot') can recognise and work with.

We have seen baskets of trades going thousands of pips into profit. There is a problem with the tradebot's trailing stop feature that has seen trades fail to close at the right time and the trade move back into loss. The whole package is not yet ready for live account trading, but I am sure it will be soon.

I recommend that those of you still hesitating bite the bullet and join. There is a lot to consider when setting the tradebot loose, and you need to get a feel for how it works, and to calculate your own values for all the inputs.

Cowboy IBFX Aussie wankers blocked my live trading account again because I was running an 'old' version' of Empty4 – proving yet again that these bastards are in cahoots with the cowboys at Crapperquotes to separate all of us from our cash. Ok, so I do not really care because this is my tiny play-money account, but I would be cross if I had deposited $50,000 with them. Not that I would be that stupid. Nor should anyone else. Never deposit live cash with these cowboys. That is Cowboy IBFX Aussie, guys.

[*]Anyone trading with TheCollectiveFX needs to read Dewey's post at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =72&t=3651 Anyone considering opening a live account needs to think again, for the time being at least.

Ehup Guys and Guyesses

I forward this pm from Dewey last night - looks like all US citizens need to act on it.

Cheers

Subject: Warning to Americans with foreign brokers!
Date: Wed Jun 18, 2014 11:26 pm
From: Dewey McG
To: SteveHopwood

Dewey McG wrote: As I am sure you are aware, the US government is hell bent on doing everything they can to make Americans keep all their money back where our government can confiscate it.

What many don't know is that they are starting to crack down on an old law that was recently revised to make the penalties that much worse. Any American citizens, whether living in the US or abroad, must file a form to report any money they have in any overseas financial institutions including banks and brokers, or be subject to fines as much as the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the balance in the account at the time of the violation, for each violation.

It doesn't matter if we made any money or not, it still must be reported. US citizens must do this by June 30th (no extensions available) or could be subject to horrific penalties. Information on how to do this is here:

http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Bus ... ounts-FBAR

Can you please send this out in an e-mail blast? I know there are a lot of Americans like myself on your site.

Thanks.

Ehup again

It turns out that it isn't just US citizens who are affected - this concerns anyone resident in the US. Here is a pm from josch.

The aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeded $10,000 at any time during the calendar year to be reported.

Weekly round-up:

Some wonderful new stuff this week; this is potentially the most exciting week since I first involved myself in the train wreck that is Forex trading about 8 years ago:

Once a Month EA is looking really good – off to a barnstorming start. A visit is a must: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3649

New toys at:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 613#p94613
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 573#p94573
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3695 – this is an automation of a scalping system developed by dsugums, one of the best trading systems designers here.

There is a fabulous idea emerging in Dewey McG's 'Automatic Loss Recovery System' thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =23&t=3682 The Principals involved are fantastic people; Spider is a superb programmer. Gary is a genius when it comes to statistical analysis. When he states something, I accept it. No pressure, Gary. This has the potential to increase our trading profitability enormously.

I will mention a commercial product offered up by two of our members – npiece and jhenrikb at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 808#p94808 This is not an endorsement – I have no experience of the EA and the price looks a tad high to me, but these are respected members of SHF and you have the facility to grill them here. Also, their website is not the usual high-pressure sales drivel that so often infests the web.

Weekly round-up:

Nothing new this week.

Relating to Dewey's 'Automatic Loss Recovery' thread, would coders please take a few seconds to visit http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 231#p95231 I will take on the project if need be but I have not kept up with it and so do not understand what has been happening there.

Weekly round-up:

I never thought I would find myself writing this, but those intellectually-challenged, 15th-rate, dimwitted, pathetic, turgid, useless, sloppy, ignorant, arrogant, over-bearing cretins at CrapperQuotes finally got something right. Our thanks to AnotherBrian for this pm earlier tonight:

AnotherBrian wrote:Hi Steve;

Did you notice that at some point crap4 was changed to allow the user to drag the size of the experts input window? I just noticed today.

I hadn't noticed either, but I works. I guess the stupid sods have finally employed someone who knows what they are doing. MaryJane, perhaps? Or should MJ be suing them?

We have seen baskets of trades going thousands of pips into profit. There is a problem with the tradebot's trailing stop feature that has seen trades fail to close at the right time and the trade move back into loss. The whole package is not yet ready for live account trading, but I am sure it will be soon.

I recommend that those of you still hesitating bite the bullet and join. There is a lot to consider when setting the tradebot loose, and you need to get a feel for how it works, and to calculate your own values for all the inputs.

All the ALR thingies are a tad diffuse, so next week I will set up a new ALR sub forum and move these threads to a single home to make them all easier to find and for the op's to manage. Until then, all our thanks to those of you working on the ALR concept.

Weekly round-up:

We have a new sub-forum, Automated Loss Recovery, and coders are starting to write EA's that make use of ALR. Before trying them, it is essential that you go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 504#p94504 to read about what is involved with ALR. Try to trade any of the EA's without understanding guarantees you will lose your cash.

Wealthmaster paid a coder to have an ALR trade manager written. In a stunning act of fabulous generosity, he has allowed us to have it for free, to apply to our manual trading. Find it at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 377#p96377. Remember that you must understand ALR before you can use it to manage your trades. It is not a substitute for good trading and will not turn a rubbish trading system into a winner.

EA's using ALR are available. SpiderX' is at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 638#p95638, whilst Madpipa's is at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 376#p96376

Thanks to all of the guys involved in the ALR projects. I shall be reviving BASA next week, with added ALR.
