Scalp the Little Gits, dsu

Looks like it's working so far, I'm waiting for it to finish calculating the average spread

It does that before calling the potentially offending function, so have a coffee or something for a few minutes, then watch the chart clock to see if it stops.

Looks like its working for me now. Thanks Steve

Fantastic. Ok, those of you with the offending divide by zero download the version from a couple of posts higher up. I will move it to post 1 later.

Well done guys. remix especially, the info you provided helped enormously.

Works great, thanks Steve!! just glad that I could help now time to see this baby rake in some pips...*hopefully*

Quick question, I see the defaults have changed a bit:

RiskPercent is now 3.0 instead of 2.0
DailyPercentOfBalanceTarget is now 30.0 instead of 12.0
TakeProfitPips is now 10 instead of 6
MaxSlippagePips is now 1 instead of 5
BreakEvenTargetPips is now 10 instead of 6

Should I keep these new OOTB settings? Just wondering if these have proven to work better than the original settings?

Also, I read through the Shell Guide, but a little confused by one thing, if I have the jumping stop loss set to true, will that override the TakeProfitPips? or do I need to set TakeProfitPips to 0 in order for the jumping stop loss to work?

Hehe. Much as I appreciate your help, I am not going to answer a shed-load of questions you should be able to answer for yourself by reading this thread properly.

Guys, if you cannot even be arsed to read posts by me, the thread originator, and ds, the systems designer, then go away and leave us alone.

And never, ever, ever ask me questions that are answered in a user guide. Guess why I wrote the blasted thingies in the first place. I did not enjoy writing them. The activity was not fun. So ask yourself this: how welcome do you think questions about them are?

V 1e with the fix for the zero divide error is in post 1. If you downloaded from a few posts ago, you don't need the update. If you are confused, the download from post 1.

The settings in the new version is for greedy people

The rest of the setting up to the user.

Original setting is tp 5pips sl 5pips with trailing stop at +1 when reach 4pips (I find it get kicked out prematurely).

Daily target 10% is optimum. Above that you are increasing your risk

P.S.: News for Asia almost nill today and for London is very low. This method works well when there is volatility otherwise

Another error I made, change it back to 5.

extern double MultiplierToDetectStopHunt=5;

This is causing the pausing if spreads spikes a bit (original is 2)

ds, this is your system and the rest of us cannot read your mind.

After your original setting that I copied to post 1, you have come up with several different variants. I cannot read your mind, yet I am the one who coded the bot in the first place.

I am not joking when I state that all I have done in V 1x is copy your code over the top of mine - and I do that to make sure that the version in post 1 is the latest available. Thus, if your mm inputs reflect some off the wall experimentation, that is what everyone else gets. Couldn't be a tad more consistent with your daily targets and trade management posts, could you?

Or do I merely ignore any bonkers mm settings in your latest updates and edit them to reflect your original ideas? Or buy a set of Tarot cards to attempt to divine what is going through your head?

Sorry about that

I suppose to send the original setting which I renamed 3a but unfortunately the test version slipped in instead and did not realize until it was posted here by another trader .

The setting in your post one is still the OOTB mm set-up
