Wall Street Robot 3.8 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9683904/WallStreet%203.8.zip

I no longer use the TDI (which came from CompassFX). The 75 MA just gives an overall direction to the market. There are no other special indicators but I do use the SRS human eye rule. If you are not familiar with SRS Trend Rider from Vlad Ribakov, the human eye rule is this. You enter the market one pip beyond the previous high (for long trades) or one pip beyond the previous low for shorts. The previous high is best described as that candle which has 2 lower candles preceding it and 2 lower candles following it with nothing higher between it and your entry. I would provide you with the manual but it is blacklisted on these forums. PM me with your Email and I can send you the whole thing. Hope this helps.

I guess. :) What is sure that it is 3.8.
 
I've already sent out the EA to about 30-35 email addresses.
 
If anyone wish to get it too, please send me your email address via private message or to my email ([email protected]) and I will send you the working last version of the Wall Street EA. ;)

After a reasonable(ok) performance of Forex Shocker on my live account, I decided to mod it and add news filter.
The version in question is 2.0, nodll, found on this forum. I'm not sure who educated it.
 
The only broker I have been able to work it or backtest it on, is JadeFX. At first I thought it was weird, but after some months I thought it might have something to do with the GMT offset.
I looked into the code and found a major bug that only allowed it to work on gmt offset=0 and 1, on some pairs
 
I fixed it and it should now be able to work and be backtested on any broker.
 
Another bug I found was about the timed closing, also knows as customlevels on fapturbo. What this does is, it closes the trade at a smaller profit, or small loss, after a certain time if it hasn't reached takeprofit yet. The bug only allowed it to work on 4-digit brokers. It's fixed now, even though I might have had more profits with it accidently off.
 
The news filter is exactly the same that I added to Megadroid, so no big deal.
 
Now notice I called it XE :D
About that, I added a couple of costumizable features.
Where you're supposed to choose the logic, I added a new option, which is 0=custom.
If you put 0, then you're able to custumize a whole bunch of features to the logic. And here they are:
 
-Timed_Closing: This is a general option for any logic. Putting this to false, it turns off those custom levels of, which close a trade in smaller profit if it hasn't been able to reach takeprofit after a while.
 
-News Filter - AvoidNews: This is pretty much the same as megadroid. Turn it on to not trade around news and specify which news and how long before and after.
 
-Logic: the same as the original but now you can choose 0 to specify your own parameters.
 
Advanced Settings: here they are.
 
-Hour_Start_Time and Hour_End_Time: Pretty obvious this one, from when till when you want it to open trades.
 
-TakeProfit: before, in all pairs, the take profit was always 4 pips. Now you can go wild on it if you want.
 
-StopLoss: before, the stoplosses ranged around 19-34 depending of the pair. Now you pick it.
 
-NN1, NN2... NN8: I have no idea what this values are really, but they have to do with the logic of opening a trade. On version 1 you could and had to change this values depending on each pair. The thing is, before there was only NN1- NN5 and they are exactly the same as in version 1. Now there are 3 more values (NN6,NN7,NN8), even though on every pair they seem to be the same values.
 
-Timed_Buy_TakeProfit: This might be a bit confusing. Remember the Timed_Closing or customlevels? This is to do with that. Here you decide which value of profit you want it to close a buy trade after a certain time.
 
-Timed_Sell_TakeProfit: The same but for sell/short trades.
 
-Minutes_Buy: Here you choose how many minutes after the trade opening you want to activate the Timed_Buy_TakeProfit.
 
-Minutes_Sell: Same, but for sells.
 
Here's an example for this last part. If you have Timed_Closing as true, Logic as 0, and let's say you are trading AUDUSD. It opens a buy trade at 22:15. Usually it tries to take profit of 4 pips. Let's say you have Timed_Buy_TakeProfit set to "-1" and Minutes_Buy to 75. This means, if after 75 minutes your trade is still open, then the takeprofit will be changed from 4 to -1. As an example, if it bought at 0.9000, the initial takeprofit was at 0.9004 and after 75minutes it will be changed to 0.8999 and the trade will close if the Bid price is equal or higher than that.
 
So that's it, I'm posting then the nodll version with the ffcal indicator that you have to put on indicators folder if you still don't have it. I'm also sending a picture with the settings for each of the original pairs. You don't need to input those values, as you just need to choose the logic for those original pairs, but it's usefull for your curiosity and if you wanna test differents value.

I just gave it a quick test and it seemed alright. If you find any bugs, post them here. Good luck.

Here it is the bbrain's version modded.

http://www.multiupload.com/N92S1RBF53
I just did originally on the dll version because it is more recent and you can use the forced strategy on other pairs that are not the original. I know that on bbrain version there was updates to make the strategy the same that on the 1.21 but I don't know which one is better.

yeah, also. You can choose not to trade after major, medium or minor news and also before them.

I'm just kidding, there is no new megadroid. It is already awesome as it is, BUT:
 
Even though Megadroid has been for quite some time one of the few robots (if not the only one) that has been REALLY steadly profitable, it still gets the ocasional stoploss, most oftenly caused by NEWS.
 
As I personally believe Megadroid to be the best robot in the present, and as I have wasted loads of time trying to improve mediocre robots, all in vain, I thought about doing it for Megadroid.
 
FIRST of all: Advanced Droid Tactics worked for a while for me, but then it got into a spiral, losing most of my account. I don't know if the new version works steadily, but I'm giving it a break for a while.
 
SECOND: Why would you set the Aggressive mode to True if it's not worth it, or why would you set it to false if it's totally worth it? What about Recovery Mode?
Well, I did an extensive 10 years backtest using constant lot comparing the aggressive function. The results?
105% more profit at only a 7% increase of long term risk. That's all there is to know. In other words, set your Aggressive mode on.
What about Recovery Mode? Recovery mode is a function that doubles the lot size of the trades until all the loss of a past stoploss/loss has been covered. That's in average 4 trades but sometimes it might be up to 14 or even more. Is it worth it? Definitely NOT. Using Recovery Mode is the same as using martingale on Megadroid, but only at one level. As you know, martingale doesn't work because by increasing the risk, it not only increases the profit but also the risk and losses. But is it worth it? Still not. After deep backtesting and analylis, all I can say is:
- If you're using Recovery Mode and are comfortable and happy with the risk you're incurring, then turn it off and increase the lot size by 60% and expect a profit increase between 15 and 30%, while keeping the same risk.
 
THIRD: The news. Not all of the Megadroid losses are caused by news, but some are. There was a time that I turned it off when high impact news were coming, but that just became very botherful, mostly when I had other robots with it. So it was about time someone created a version of Megadroid that could avoid news. As I couldn't find one for a lot of time, I created one myself, and here it is:

http://www.multiupload.com/0LNLY2KEPD
I called it Megadroid N1. N because of the News Filter and 1 because it's the first version of it. But all it is is:
 
There are two versions:
-One is the latest Megadroid v1.21 educated and the other one is Megadroid Pro v1.01ee, both versions from this forum.
 
The new parameters are pretty simple. Either you set it to avoid news or not. If you do, then you can choose if you want to avoid high impact news and/or medium impact news and/or low impact news. Then you set the time in minutes that you don't want to trade since the latest news of a choosen impact and the time in minutes until the next news of a choosen impact. By default I set those values of minutes that you will see as predefined, but make your own judgement, and if you think you know good settings, please suggest them here.
 
This new version gets the news from an indicator that is on that zip file and that you will have to position on your meta trader indicators folder. That indicator is FFCAL, I think it originated on the forexfactory forum and it downloads all the following news from forexfactory calendar aroud every 6 hours. The EA updates its newsfilter state once per minute, so when you first set it up, expect it to take up to 1 minute to be fully working. About the news it avoids, it avoids the news related to the pair you are trading. If you have it on USDCHF, it will avoid news of those two currencies.
 
I also incorporated on it something that tells you if it is not trading because of news. You will notice on the chart, along with all the other useful information, that it says "Not trading! Avoiding news". Once again, this will take up to 1 minute if you set it for the first time or change the EA parameters.
 
What more, I can't backtest it with past news, but I forward tested it a couple times for some minutes to see if it was doing it's job and it seems to be. Give it a try and post your results, if it works alright with you, and any sugestions you might have.
