Spider: an auto-trader for spiderforex's VQ system

[rebeljedi]

Try this version, it is a little smarter about determining where you are running terminal.exe from. The previous code relied on your current directory being where terminal.exe is, but that doesn't have to be the case.

Hi George, this works for GFT now!
Finally it has just taken a trade!
I like the new window that reminds to set CriminalIsECN=true too.
Thanks a lot and also your patience!

What happens when you drop VQ7 on the chart?

As for Forex.com, here are the issues as shown in pixs:
TestSpiderDFTD
VQ7 on TestSpiderDFTD sometimes appear, sometimes disappear, please see these 2 pixs:

3rd TestSpiderDFTD (latest)

TestSpiderDFTD3 length2, VQ7 length2 ODD.JPG

The VQ7 indicator looks ODD on Forex.com Empty4 because if I compare against Cowboy IBFX, VQ7 length2 is supposed to have given a lot of signals compared to the same VQ7 indicator in Forex.com.

I downloaded a demo for Forex.com, and the VQ7 indicator looks normal on my chart. I had to scroll back a bit to make sure I had more than 100 bars, and then toggle timeframes, but then it looked like it is supposed to look.

Wish I could help.

Hi George,
For some reason, Forex.com has 2 EURUSD charts: EURUSD and EURUSDFXF.
According to Forex.com, trades (EAs) can only be done on EURUSDFXF.
VQ7 indicator looks alright on EURUSD chart but when applied on EURUSDFXF, VQ7 signals go haywire.

Please see these 2 different charts on 1 Forex.com demo:

Symbol EURUSD VQ7 length2.JPG

The above chart shows VQ7 working properly but EA cannot be used on the above EURUSD chart.

VQ7 indicator however does not work properly on EURUSDFXF chart as shown below:

Symbol EURUSDFXF VQ7 length2.JPG

I can only deduce it is because of the suffix FXF.
Can you give me some idea how to add suffix in VQ7 indicator?
Thanks.

I don't see anything in the indicator that looks at the name of the symbol. It uses NULL or Symbol() to reference the current chart symbol. Can you run the currencyinfo script using the Forex Robot collection method? Choose to copy it to the clipboard and then you can just paste it into a message here.

In my test on forex.com, I had a three digit suffix as well, with no problem. It was a different suffix, but it was still there.

Please see enclosed Currency Info:

That all looks good.

This is a mystery. Can you force a recompile on that platform by opening the script and compiling it again?

I'm really at a loss. Can you cycle through some other currencies/time frames?

Sorry, this should be the correct Currency Info using the ForexRobot method:

That looks good too. Weird that they give you a 5 digit feed but make you trade the 4 digit.

Hi George,
Please see enclosed recompiled CurrencyInfo:

I cycled through different time frames for EURUSDFXF and even tried to reduce zoom but the VQ7 still looks haywire.
I tried on AUDUSDFXF (4-digit) but VQ7 also looks haywire.
I tried on USDCHFFXF (5 digit) and VQ7 is working properly!
