SERIOUS WARNING
- Most Forex traders lose all their money.
- Using the robot posted here in trading Forex does not guarantee success.
- Trading this robot could lead to serious financial loss.
- Trading this robot without understanding its underlying trading strategies guarantees traders will lose their money.
- This is not a set-and-forget ea; there is no such thing and anyone who tries to claim there is, is either stupid or lying. This ea requires frequent manual intervention.
- At best, a trading robot is only 90% as good as the manual strategy it trades. At best. At worst, it can be much less effective. If the strategy is rubbish, so is the robot.
- To trade this robot, you have to understand:
- How to use EA's. Remember to set IsGlobalPrimeOrECNCriminal to 'true' if your crim insists on two-stage order sending.
- Breakout strategies.
Yesterday I received the pm from Anil that I quote here. Please remember that English is not Anil's first language.
I am not a huge fan of breakout strategies, but for the time being xxxJPY is only going one way, so why not see if we can squeeze a few pips out of this?vadlapatis wrote:Hello Good Morning Mr. Steve,
this is Anil Kumar Vadlapati , member of your form and great fan of u, as u made many Forex novice easy to trade and manage with different EA's , my favorite EA is MPTM.
coming to subject , i would like to request an automated EA for the manual system which I'm running it successful on GJ pair from last 2 months .
this is not my own strategy i had read it from internet and working on , i thought i would share this strategy here in forum as i took lot from the forum and also experts traders can fine tune it more
after completing second 4hr candle (gmt+0) we will note down CandleHigh , CandleLow , then we will place two limit orders one for buy one for sell
here there is one condition CandleHigh-CandleLow >= 200 pips then no trade for that day.
Buy Limit Order : -
BuyPrice = CandleHigh+10 pips
StopLoss = CandleLow-10 pips
TakeProfit = BuyPrice + (CandleHigh-CandleLow)
Sell Limit Order:-
SellPrcie = CandleLow-10 pips
StopLoss = CandleHigh+10 pips
TakeProfit = SellPrice - (CandleHigh-CandleLow)
if either order executed , we will cancel other order that's it
i have attached the chart for reference i circled with white color , the break out
any things else info plz let me know
thank you very Much
Regards
Anil Kumar
To summarise: this is a GJ H4 breakout from the open of London strategy, based on the previous H4 candle.
Trading times
Anil's strategy kicks in at London open time and is based on the hilo of the previous H4 candle. The default trading time allows 5 minutes for the new candle to form, then a further 5 minutes during which the ea will place a pending buy line at BufferPips above the previous candle high, and pending sell at BufferPips below the low.
As usual, trading times are expressed in the time on your clock at home when London opens. Work this out for yourself and do not post questions about it here. I shall delete them as I do not allow my threads to become cluttered by posts by people unable to tell the time.
Pending trade lines
Instead of sending actual pending trades, the EA places dashed green and red lines on the chart, and then trades when the market crosses the lines. You can choose your own colours for these. Also, the bot will react should you decide to manually move the lines, and change the order fill prices.
Other stuff
All the usual thingies are here. Use them or not as suits your trading style.
I asked Anil how long he leaves a pending trade in place when it has not filled. His reply was that this has not happened yet, so this is something we may need to sort out.
There are a few bits and bats that could do with cleaning up if this doggy turns out to have a woof. We shall see. At least testing it out does not use much in the way of computer resource.

). The correlation amongst all the majors (and minors etc etc) is pretty much that you should be able to trade the breakout across multiple pairs with a specific pip target to be achieved from the basket. The plan is to kick it off at some point based on a bias or setup e.g. the start of the week as in
