- 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 tells you there is, is either a liar or an idiot. This EA will need manual intervention when NoOfTrades buys and sells are open, and the only recourse from there is to manage the basket manually.
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.
- Renko candles.
- - How to use EA's.
Ehup all
Intro
Wapen sent me this pm last week:
"Hi Steve,
If you can write one more EA. For the community.
One more for the Renko bars.
On every new bar open a trade in the same direction as the one just closed. Example the candle just closed and it was a up candle then open immediately a buy. SL is 2x this bar. TP can be 1 bar or 0. If 0 follow with candle trailing stop off 2. Every time a new bar is formed open a new trade. Thus multi trades will be in the market if it move up for more than 2 bars.
I have calculated the EURJPY out of all 131 candles (4 Aprill 2012 – current) the total possible pips was 240 with a max of 3 negative trades in a row. Following the 1 bar TP.
All your work are appreciated!
Thanks and regards
WAPEN"
Those of you unfamiliar with Renko, read the attached pdf for details and how to set up your Renko chart. RenkoLiveChart_V3.2 is an EA, and so needs to go into your Expert Advisor's folder.
Trade exit
Either:
- - set TakeProfit and StopLoss to a >0 value and set both TpBricks & SlBricks to zero. Or
- set TpBricks to > 0 to use the Remko brick size multiplied by this input to produce a take profit. Ditto SlBricks. These inputs override TakeProfit and StopLoss inputs.
Other stuff
The usual stuff is included - Hanover, CBI, trend determination, ATR for stops/tp's etc. Find a copy of my Shell user guide which has explanations for a lot of the inputs. Ignore inputs described in the guide that you cannot find in the EA inputs.
More warnings
Renko is seductive when you look at it on a chart - those rising/falling bricks seem soooooo clear. Be warned that I have yet to code an EA that has traded them profitably.

Have fun, if you can.
