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:
Holy Graily Bob 'n Piproid is an attempt to marry the power of HGB with the ability of PP to avoid the catastrophic loss of pips when HGB gets it wrong.

What follows a lot folks is this term: "We all know." It refers to those of us who understand what is happening here because we have been along for the ride. Tough if you are one of those who does not know. This thread is not for you - unless you had the brains to read the top part of this post and act upon it. If not, you will ignore this next statement as well. Post in such a way that shows that you have not read the requisite threads and I will delete you registration. Byeeeee. Moving on.

We all know that HGB is utterly fantastic when he gets it right. We all know he is utter crap when the markets are moving against him because he reacts too slowly to stop us giving back all those lurevly pips we made a day or two ago.

We all know that PPoS can sit silent for days when the markets are moving away from him. The trades follow him - deleted and then recreated in a new position at the open of the new D1 candle. Then he pounces.

Holy Graily Bob 'n Piproid is an attempt to marry the two EA's.

We shall shorten him to HP to save us all a lot of typing.

What I have attempted to do is this: HP only takes trades in the direction of PP's trend and retrace detection, following the appearance of an HGI signal. The HGB bit should work as normal. The imported PPoS stuff is what might cause bugs, but the inputs are as normal.

Ask your questions about basic stuff that you do not understand in the relevant "xxxx for Dummies" thread. Bog-basic questions here will be deleted. Read the relevant user guides.

No idea if this can be a runner as an EA. Let's give it a try and see.

Note that I have not tested this properly on demo, so there will be bugs.

This is an absolute brilliant idea Steve!

Hats off to you again, oh great wise old sage... :clap:

Ahh! sorry about the old bit... ;)

Seriously though, thank you so much for all your efforts, time and frustration.
It will definitely pay off in the long run.

I know, you said to come back later as thread is still under construction, but this is really exciting, and I am sure I am not the only one who thinks so! :D

Thanks again mate!

Now to some forward demo testing... :yahoo:

Cheers!
Tony

I have added this to post 1: "Ask your questions about basic stuff that you do not understand in the relevant "xxxx for Dummies" thread. Bog-basic questions here will be deleted. Read the relevant user guides."

I have deleted most of the recent posts because they were either cretinous or kind responses to a dimwitted question. I am not entirely sure which bit of the "To trade this robot you have to understand...." section of post 1 causes difficulties. Ok, so there is the occasional two-syllable word in it - and I even spot a 3-syllable word, so apologies for that. Fact is, you have to understand what you need to understand in order to use this bot.

Well I needed more action so I have switched the piproid TF settings to W1, D1, H4. Will test it out more next week and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the hard work Steve.
