Writing scripts will help you win

[PipPocketer]

Please count me as one of those amazed yet skeptical readers. It reminds me of what a farmer once told me in my youth “when your walking through the pasture and the smell is getting stronger that’s when you have got to watch your step”.

But then again I guess one of the things I find fascinating about this forum is the continuous mix of generous and helpful information along with the ridiculous delusions of grandeur. I especially enjoy Sundays because things seem to get exceptionally bizarre. Some of you are really special! :rolleyes:

What the Hell is a Script/EA?? Automatic trading programs??

Potaire

Yes, an Expert Advisor …aka EA… is associated with a robot or as you correctly said, an automatic trading program.

A script is similar to an EA but their features are a bit different. Something to do with a script being launched only once, and an EA just keeps on tick’in.

I really havn’t looked much at why/when you’d want to use a Script vs an EA so I will have to do some research.

Thanx Sweet

Have i ever told you how much i love you sweetpips ?

something about a superior grand master who is dressed in black and fanning a deck of cards simply “gets” to my inner being and raises my attention level several notches !

of course, a REAL photo would be “superior” to a cartoon character, but “one gets what one needs in this world, and not always what one wants !”

anyway, i dont know if “this” script is doing what is claimed, but ive figured out how to do it, based on the statements and the small pippage taken for profit ----- and it can be done quite easily, and im going to do just that as an experiment this week !

enjoy and trade well

I think what MPs really trying to say is

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY SWEETPIPS!

Fanning a deck of cards?..lol…yes I suppose the pic being so small I can see how it might look that way…but here’s a bit of a paradigm shift to raise your whatever a few more notches…the objects being fanned is actually a wad of moola…as in “show me the money”

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I most emphatically agree with sweetpip and will admit that my nature is rather suspicious of something that sounds “too good to be true” from a one year trader.

while i havent gone over the statement with a fine tooth comb, the straight line growth on the chart is almost an impossibility ---- even with my record of consecutive wins, MY lines have slight movements of an up and down nature in them.

i HAVE seen some photoshop work that rivals this from some outright frauds, but i will reserve judgement until such time as i have more definite ideas.

considering his script rivals my daily pippage and that we trade the same currency pair, although i take far more pips per trade than his script, i will have to check a number of transactions to understand more fully.

of course, i could be wrong, in which case the gentleman in question should just be ecstatic about being on his way to his first million, but WHY is he working with a $100K account and talking about it here on baby pips, when there are ADVANCED (expert traders) forumns available for that topic !

as the king said to anna — “tis a puzzlement !”

LOL. .MP… I have no reason to defraud anyone in this forum. There is no motivation for me to do so.

Having completed my Forex schooling only last November 2008, I consider myself a newbie. I just happened to be a newbie with $100k working capital.

I am not after the money because I already got that on August 19, 2004, when I was doing something else. The biggest challenge is writing a script the would beat the system without losing my $100k

Do you have a programming background? Have you considered entering your script in MT4’s Automated Trading Championship 2009 contest?

You are really superior MP! … because it took me countless hours to research and write my program and it took you just a quick glance at my statement to come up with the solution and you can do it easily!

LOL… good for you.

Hi Sweet Pip

Yes, I have a programming background. I used to do that professionally with the company I worked for before. After we had our IPO on August 19, 2004, I just retired. so I am not good enough to enter the MT4 championship. they will kick my butt.

thank you for taking note of my talents — it even says “superior” on the masthead !

it was NOT a quick glance, but hours of going over my charts based on your entry times and exits — something anyone with two eyes can do.

Now, im not doubting your equity or your script, but ive lived thru far too many of these “too good to be true” capers and every one has turned out to be exactly that, SO i simply reserve full judgment while stating what i believe.

While i have a tremendous equity pool to draw on also, what i do on this site is attempt to teach more advanced techniques than are taught in “pip school”. Every now and again, i will even give out trades that i believe should be successful, and so far have been to the tune of over 100 pips per trade per day while we sleep, BUT all i see you doing is what can, euphemistically, only be referred to as BRAGGING !

so if i can put forth everything i know (remember anyway ?), which now has newbs MAKING money instead of losing it, why then do you come here, tell everyone how GOOD your script is, and all anyone gets for it is a statement ?

so please understand my hesitancy in jumping up and down like a bugeyed clown and understand that ive seen this 25 times in the past year alone — perhaps youre the best programmer since rasputin, [B]but until i see some proof that you wish to HELP those youre bragging to, i aint gonna start jumping ![/B]

[B]its like this — if i can make 500 pips in a day I LOSE NOTHING by training others to do the same — after all, they wont be taking MY pips, just grabbing their own ! So if this humble little guy from NYC can SHARE, why cant you – it doesnt cost you a thing except not being able to say “hehehehehehe, I know how to do it and YOU DONT !”[/B]

[B]which is something we all should have gotten over at about the age of 7 and a behavior that doesnt belong on a “teaching” site ![/B]

my opinions, of course

Heh heh, not only an excellent automated trading system, but a google IPO millionaire?

[dqinglzj]

this thread not active quite long.
babypip, do you still use the same script trading real money? your capital should double/tribled now? how it’s going? I think now you know how to write an EA, isn’t it?

[bUEx]

hi all … im newbie here.
i’ve read this thread. not sure whether this thread already dead or still active.
i think writing script is not for a newbie, a newbie will not know the parameters neither the syntax.
but using a “robot” to run a trade is logical and its something can do.
anybody can teach me how to write a script?

I suggest you go to:
book.mql4.com
read the whole tutorial. hope it’s not difficult. then try write sth. demo it. then improve. then demo. then… until it really works like babypips _2008 did. He got his secret weapon to beat the market and let this thread die.
