Didn't seem to work good for me last night. I lost $260 GBP/CHF killed me.

Bluto, unlike the previous versions of Goblin this one doesn't open orders immediately. Is this normal behavior?

Bluto,

I've tried running this version with no stop losses and I'm not getting any trades on a demo or backtest. With the default values it's trading but once you alter some of the settings it begins to fail. Here are my settings....

Nick,

I had mine set to max trades to 5 and I do have some orders open with 8 trades on maybe im missing somthing. Also not excatly sure the trail stop of ten is working had some pairs move 12 pips and a stop was not implmented to take me out of the trad for a break even. Is that how the trail stop is supposed to work? One thing I do like is that it is buying in both directions. Thanks for you work on this, after a full night of trading Im only down a few bucks with alot of open positions.

You have Maxtrades 5 for both, correct? so that would be 10 in total so the 8 that you got is normal. Unless you mean 8 buys

Hi bluto, I found that there is something wrong with sell trade. Let say if I set the maxtrades to be 4. The EA seems open all 4 trades at the same time for sell order. But in buy order it would be normal, only open one order at the time.

Something is funky with your install. Please download the zip file from the first post and reload.

Mine did the same thing just this morning. I'll dl again.

mine also (the bipolar at the end of the old goblin thread)

and i didn't notice this until bikerhead point this out.

the version i just got from this thread now is ok.

hi bluto,

when starting up goblin immediately open position

notice that if it is not a good entry like when jrsx is <20 or >80
i think this cycle begins at the wrong beat and is going to be
stuck to it

i'm going to set template for all 3 major pairs but keep EA button
on std toolbar OFF

i'll turn ON when the charts jrsx come in into the 30-70 range

you don't think this 'entry time/start-up time' is an issue?

regards.

btw thank you for sharing.
