Inspired by this pm I just received:

Good day to you.

I'm seeking your help, hope you can respond. I've a potential investor and his partners who want to let me manage his fund through forex. They're gold producers and export gold to overseas Their initial investment tentatively is USD500K and will gradually inject into their trading accounts for every gold sale provided their trading account can see asset growths. FYI, they'll start injecting capital likely in two or three months time. I think they're eyeing about minimum 10% growth per month.

I'm in desperate and dilemma situation now as I do not have a good and consistent

EA in hands. In SHF, I have tested HGBnG, Sixths, RnR, TrendRangeCombo, Grid Dancer, Dottybot, etc. but I'm so sad that I can't get a comfortable confidence. The tested results are various, including high DD, coding issues such as HGBnG code 130 error kept on popping out, etc. I have tried different parameter variable settings / setfiles for the EAs but yet failed to produce a comfortable result. I'm sorry that I've to admit that I've no programming background at all and whenever encounter problems, I really diddn't know how to solve it but to stop further testing.

I understand that you may ask me that have I read the relevant webpages in SHF ? Yes, I do and I read a lot, but most of the time I don't really understand the technical parts.

I hope you can guide me which EAs I shall consider and their appropriate settings, thereafter I need to have thorough testing on your recommended EAs for at least one month. I understand that you may ban me from the membership but I've no choice to have a try with you as I'm really in desperate and dilemma now. I need to act fast before my investors start injecting capital for me to manage.

I would like to propose to you that if I can have a good EA to manage my investors' fund, I'm willing to contribute certain percentage (you may propose your preferred rate) to your recommended charities and foundation, with the witnessed of God.

Your consideration would be highly appreciated.

Thanks & regards

My response is not my best. It is late at night. I have not had a good day. I hope it brings you some tiny enjoyment.
You bet I have a response.

You are a cretin.

Only an idiot gets involved in a situation like this.

And then expects me, the anti-Christ of all FX cretins, to haul his coals out of the fire.

Wow. That is stupidity on a monumental scale. I congratulate you.

Grow up thicko. You are now consigned to the dustbin of SHF morons unable to do anything other than read posts and download software.
Yep. Pretty lame. I shall try to improve on my performance in the future.

Tell your investors you are too stupid to manage your way out of a cardboard box.

Just to check, I tested out what can be done by users belonging to the 'On Moderation' group.

They can indeed still download software from SHF.

They can still post. Their posts will be subject to the glare of an irritated moderator and stand 1% chance of getting through.

So yes, I have a heart. It is one of flint. I suggest that members take note of the statement in my Welcome message to new members, "A quick warning folks. SHF is a meritocracy, not a democracy. People earn the right to post freely by posting intelligently. I have zero tolerance of people who show by their demented posts that they have not read mine. "

Up to you guys whether you read this and abide by this or not. It applies to you whether you like it or not. I don't care about your tender feelings.

And knowing that you guys love a laugh at my expense, here is another one.

I adopted the persona of a dimwit on the On Moderation group (amazing what an admin can do), to see what I could do here. Not much, as I found to my satisfaction.

Then it took me about 30 minutes to recover my true status here. :arrrg: :arrrg: :arrrg: :arrrg: I began to wodner if I had banned myself permanently. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Hey ho.

Peeps are generally learning to take coders here seriously and are refraining from making ridiculous requests.

Not always mind. Here is a daft request that I received last week. Take your time reading it folks. It starts out OK; the insanity takes time to emerge.

Anybody reading 50% down without losing the will to live is a tougher guy than me.
The EA.

This can be either an SPB Dashboard or a good old-fashioned EA, your choice and whatever works for you.

The system trades two Empty4 Oscillator indicators.

First one is the Momentum indicator. Positive trades are above the 100 level.
The EA will have the ability to set the Period and Price IE Open Close High Low etc.

The second is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator. Positive trades are above the 0 (Zero Level)
The EA will have the ability to set the Period and Price IE Open Close High Low etc.

The EA will take a trade when both the Momentum and CCI are in agreement by a user configured set of parameters. The user must have the ability to set by how much positive or negative both these indicators must be in order for a trade to be triggered.

The EA will only take a trade on the completion of a candle. No Grid trading just one trade per signal.

For example, if the CCI is positive at say 25+ and the momentum indicator is also positive to say a value of 100.05 then the EA will take a buy trade at the close of that candle.

The EA will have the ability to set an ATR period for the calculation of the lot size based upon a set risk for each trade. For example is a pair has a 100 pip 20-day ATR and the user sets a risk of 1% the EA will place a trade with a 100 pip SL risking 1% of the account but the EA will not place a SL or TP as this is a basket trading system.

Steve if you decide on a dashboard then I would like the EA to be able to trade baskets exactly as SPB as this is just fantastic. If not then I will use a trade manager to manage the trades.

The EA must have the ability to hedge a trade when an opposite signal appears.
For example, a sell signal happens and the EA places a sell at 0.01 lots then gets a buy signal. The EA will place a buy trade at 0.02. This will lock in a loss of the 0.01 sell trade and place a 0.01 buy trade. It will do this each time an opposite trade happens until the basket is closed. So in the above example if it goes sell again the EA will just sell at 0.02. It will never increase from the second trade.

If possible but not absolutely necessary the EA will be able to look at a higher timeframe for confirmation of direction.
For example if trading on the 15 minute Time Frame and gets a buy signal it will be able to look at the 4 Hour Time Frame to see if both the Momentum and CCI are positive before taking a trade.

I would very much like the usual safety features from your shell included and the rollover feature.


In the above example if the EA had been set to take trades when the Momentum indicator is below 99.92 and the CCI below -30 where the crosshairs are is where the trade would have entered after the candle had closed.

Right, I think that is it but I am sure that you will have some questions.
Thanks Steve very much appreciated.
And he offered me my standard £100 to code this nonsense. That was just plain rude. OP you know whom you are; your continued membership of SHF is at risk should you insult me again.

Any questions I might have had would have been about the sanity of the poster. This might seem a tad on the unkind side of thingies, but I am making a point here.
