kdjon Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Does anyone know the actual strategy that Megadroid works from or uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSmith007 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hi kdjon, all that I can tell you is that it's based on CCI, RSI and a SMA. Look at the code in the MQ4 file to figure it out (s1_setRules function for strategy 1). John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noziggity81 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) I use Go Markets, and I have not hit any of the stop losses that some have had. Since my $42 loss on EURUSD, I had 4 trades, all wins, today during the asian session that made back $25.00 and no losses. This is with aggressive off on my live account. I have an FxPro demo account that I am forward testing aggressive mode on, and today it had 6 trades, all wins, totaling about $50 profit (but still $45 dollars in the negative on 2 open trades, eurchf and gbpchf, currently underway). It is important to note that on ALL my accounts I use 1 mini lot fixed lot size, demo and live. When some people report losses, I begin to wonder how much those settings are deviating from the theozaki method. For me, it seems my success has been with these settings always in place: (1.) N1 news filter true, medium and low impacts off, high impact set to 600/600. (2.) 10 pairs trading, per the table posted previously. (3.) 1 mini lot fixed. (4.) Recovery off. (5.) Aggressive off (live), aggressive on (demo). (6.) s1 and s2 times are set the same (e.g., 20-23 for s1, 20-23 for s2) (7.) I use the 1.01N1ee (not the bbr one) I wonder -- 98 loss -- what was the lot size? Was that pips or dollars? I assume that was with aggressive on. I think the stop loss for aggressive trades is higher at around 100-150, rather than the regular 40. I could be wrong!!! At any rate -- if your trading the way I am -- your EURJPY would be 1 mini lot fixed, aggressive or regular, N1 600/600 high filtering enabled, with logic 1 and trades only between GMT 19 and GMT 22. With those settings, there was no EURJPY trade... I certainly didn't have any... Edited July 7, 2010 by noziggity81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forexample Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 dinj, noziggity, theozaki and other contributors here, thank you for one of the most complete bots ever! excellent work here. I was a MD user from the start but it just trades so infrequently I was over it. I have added an Alpari UK demo on my VPS using 1.01ee and noziggity's/theozaki's setup, it is linked to my myfxbook account (same user name as here).

noziggity81 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) For yesterday: FXPRO DEMO (aggressive on): - - - - - USDJPY non-aggressive trade -- hit SL EURJPY non-aggressive trade -- hit SL EURJPY aggressive trade -- hit SL USDJPY aggressive trade -- hit SL (All others were profit.) GOMARKETS LIVE (aggressive off): - - - - - USDJPY non-aggressive trade -- hit SL (All others were profit.) @daddypancakes: risk sharing shares money management risk across pairs with same magic #. if you do a search back on this thread (try "risk sharing") or search for Rio's older post for the release notes for megadroid pro xe 1.2, he explains in a paragraph over there how risk sharing works. I'd double check just to make sure I'm correct. @rex: yes, 19-22 P.S. With NFA/FIFO = true, losses for aggressive account (FxPro) might have been able to have been limited to 2 rather than 4. Any thoughts? (Did some of you already have that set, or use an NFA broker?) Edited July 8, 2010 by noziggity81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikram88 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 rex What are your settings I am confused If u set overide trade hrs to false EA will trade default trade times which are 20-23 Which broker are you using what is the broker gmt offset I am using IBFX broker offset 0 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex68 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Vikram, I've always had the assumption that when I set it to false, it will use the trade hours I set, which is 19-22. Noziggy, can you help clarify? I'm using FxPrimus ECN, perhaps you can try using their demo (Server 3 for ECN) for a start. Much thanks! rex What are your settings I am confused If u set overide trade hrs to false EA will trade default trade times which are 20-23 Which broker are you using what is the broker gmt offset I am using IBFX broker offset 0 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noziggity81 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) @vikram -- IBFX is an NFA broker, so you would automatically get NFA/FIFO trades regardless of what settings you use. So, typically, you should have fewer losses than someone who can hedge/non-fifo. @rex -- override = true uses the hours you set manually. override = false uses buit-in logic's defaults. Set it to true. Anyway: It is my suggestion to all following this method that you set your "aggressive on" pairs to NFA = true. kudos if helpful ;) Edited July 8, 2010 by noziggity81 murtamad and rex68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikram88 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Ok Thats is sorted now However point to note that USD/JPY hit stop loss today irrespective of aggressive being true or false I noted that there was medium impact news from Japan today Was S/L due to that Any comments from the experts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
