I set my AdaptivePipsTakeProfit to 25 and PipsTakeProfit to 200. At the moment, I am having 6 trades open. If I am correct, based on my setting on both, 25*6=150 and PipsTakePRofit=200, then my close profit would be whichever comes first, which is 150 pips, right? Do they work independently or dependently? Thanks.

AdaptivePipsTakeProfit overwrites the value of PipsTakeProfit :

if (AdaptivePipsTakeProfit > 0) PipsTakeProfit = AdaptivePipsTakeProfit * OpenTrades;

Thanks for that code jippo - made the change, recompiled, restarted Empty4 (twice), but cant get it to work for me... I'm on v1k. What version are you on?
Set it to false. Make sure to set it back to true if you reattach.
Still can't get it to work on v1k. I must be doing something wrong.
Steps I followed were;
1. Change code and recompile.
2. Attach EA and then set dropdown to FALSE in EA inputs screen

Still doesn't trigger trades :( Thx for your help though.

I'll just use the time jippo for now as that is a bit more work but achieves the same objective. I just lose a minute at most in terms of pricing.

Nice! I missed out on Live, but had the EA setup on Demo. Closed out for 300 pips in an hour. Start 10:00 am (GMT+2), closed out 11:15 (GMT+2). :D
Going to wait for a retrace and try and hopefully get in again when NY opens on Live. Will set t/p's to be smaller in case the move is losing steam...

Nice score Caillou !!
I did put Shelley on last night to start 15min before Tokyo opens.
Well in profit now as you can see, but I will take Shelley off the map and let this run till Friday.
All in demo so no stress, lets see how it works out , I'm off line till Friday anyway.

Lots of pips to all of you..

In other words for longs (and conversely for shorts), even if slope is > 0.8 and woh 2x1 is green, Shelley should not open trades for pairs for which D1 Woh 1x0 is red.
Anyone with the same analysis?
Cheers
D1 Woh 1x0 is red means : The current price is below the Open of the Day.
Could you confirm to me if this is correct ? Where do I find the background theory about Woh ?

Hi Vivaldi,

Here is a link where you can download all the booklets concerning the NB 10.2:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=308304

I think the best read regarding WOH is the Weekly open booklet (obviously :lol: ). Here is a quote from the guru you can find in the last paragraph of page 6:

"The first histogram shows price in relation to the weekly open, up or down for the week (I think refering to the woh 1x0). It should help you decide which direction to trade that week. The second histogram (the woh 2x1) is designed to show the overall trend direction on the weekly chart."

Thought we could try to exploit this info for refining (the already astonishing) Shelley :D

PS: Shelley is currently making good pips but for me NB 10.2 EA is making even more at the mo :D

Hi Phil, I had cross instead of smiley but still EA sent orders.
I used Shelley only (not S&G)

Hi Zypip - would you mind sharing your 10.2 EA set file in the 10.2 EA thread please? Shelley is doing very well for me but 10.2 EA not so well - probably because I have been so impressed with Shelley and manually trading NB 10.2, so the 10.2 EA has been a little unloved!

Thanks,
Dave.
