Here's the new "Goblin" ea...little brother to Predator - Page 2

pluto,

I was reading the Globin code and have a question. In the Turbo_JVEL part of the code, is the last part below correct. I see you have when trendtype=2 and trendtype=3, both trendtext="Weak Downtrend/Ranging".

When trendtype=3, should trendtext="Strong Uptrend";

Code:

 UpTrendVal = iCustom(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, "Turbo_JVEL",10,-100,0,0);
      DnTrendVal = iCustom(Symbol(), PERIOD_D1, "Turbo_JVEL",10,-100,1,0);
      TrendVal = (UpTrendVal + DnTrendVal);
      if(TrendVal <= -0.1)
        {
         trendtype = 1;
         TrendTxt = "Strong Downtrend";
        } 
      if(TrendVal > -0.1 && TrendVal < 0)
        {
         trendtype = 2;
         TrendTxt = "Weak Downtrend/Ranging";
        }
      if(TrendVal > 0 && TrendVal < 0.1)
        {
         trendtype = 2;
         TrendTxt = "Weak Uptrend/Ranging";
        } 
      if(TrendVal >= 0.1)
        {
         trendtype = 3;
         TrendTxt = "Weak Downtrend/Ranging";  
        }

Yes, good catch there. It should've said "Strong Uptrend".

I've attached a revised EA with the fix.

Shouldn't matter. This EA should be able to handle any of them. It does seem to really "gobble" the pips during ranging periods.

In reviewing the Turbo_JEVL Indicator code, another question. The indicator has this code.

Code:

if ((Symbol()=="USDJPYm") || (Symbol()=="EURJPYm") || (Symbol()=="JPGBPYm"))
        {
         series = ((High[shift]+Low[shift]+Close[shift])/3);
        } else {
         series = ((High[shift]*100 + Low[shift]*100 + Close[shift]*100)/3);
        }

Should the code be this for all JPY pairs and both Standard and Mini/Micro accounts. And there is a typo above, "JPGBPYm" should be "GBPJPYm"

Code:

if ((Symbol()=="USDJPY") || (Symbol()=="USDJPYm") || (Symbol()=="EURJPY")  || (Symbol()=="EURJPYm") || (Symbol()=="GBPJPY")  || (Symbol()=="GBPJPYm") || (Symbol()=="CHFJPY") || (Symbol()=="CHFJPYm") || (Symbol()=="NZDJPY") || (Symbol()=="NZDJPYm") )
        {
         series = ((High[shift]+Low[shift]+Close[shift])/3);
        } else {
         series = ((High[shift]*100 + Low[shift]*100 + Close[shift]*100)/3);
        }

Well aren't you just the little code scrutinizer!! LOL.

Actually, that code really makes no difference for the purposes of the EA call. That was a small mod I stuck in there to make the bars on the histogram larger because due to time scaling, they're hard to read on larger TF's. The underlying slope values are unaffected which is what the EA depends upon. In any event, attached is a modified version of the indicator to take into account either mini or standard accounts.

Thanks for the "..little.." comment. At my weight and height, I appreciate all the "little" comments I get.

Ooops....no harm intended.

Here is a years back test I did on Goblin.

Using euro$ 15m
30 TP
pips 10
no s/l
secure profit based on 30 pips per .1 lot used. So for .2 lots secure profit was 60.

max orders of 3.

and lot size of .2 for a 5k account.

the rest of the settings are default.

I am going to forward test it soon.

There was about 2 times durring the last year when the positions were held for about a month or mabe more. This happened when buy orders were placed near an extream high above 1.2900.

I would suggest adding an option to the settings for BUY only and SELL only. This way when it reaches an extream high(like now 1.2975) I would set it to sell only because its unlikely that the price will remain above 1.3000 for any peroid of time. But if a buy order is placed at this level the price can run all the way down to 1.1600 befor ever comming back to 1.3000.
So looking at long term charts and determining what the extreams are you can use buy and sell when price is near these extreams.

Good ideas there. Let's do it!
