Fmfx auto-trader. Another new toy by Steve Hopwood

Post by SteveHopwood »

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. Anyone who claims this is possible is lying or in need of psychiatric help.
    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.
This EA attempts to automate Fmfx's strategy at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 6960#p6960 Systems rarely come simpler than this one. Fmfx has been trading this manually and the order history he posts is looking good.

Visit the thread to read how the system works - this one is very simple. You can download a template to set up the chart and the one custom indi the system needs - the other two are indi's shipped with Empty4.

The EA includes the whole battery of stuff that my bots usually contain. None of it is part of Fmfx's strategy, but I leave it in place so people can experiment. Those of you unfamiliar with all the features, read the shell user guide also attached. If an input appears in the guide that is not in the robot, then ignore it.

Have fun

:D

Great fun, optimizing. Just don't expect it to make a scrap of difference when you put the ea onto a demo account. The only thing optimizing in ST is good for is entertainment.

Firstly, thanks to Fmfx and Steve for this strategy and EA.

I've just fired it up myself but I'm getting "..order send failed with error(130: invalid stops" erros on BUY and Sell orders. I'm using the EA OOTB so CriminalIsECN=false. My demo trader is AxiTrader.

Is anyone else getting these errors or can you tell me if there's anything else I should be checking for?

thnx webby
