RoboMiner robot review - Page 8 - Pip Cop

ksh62 · 2008-12-01, 06:03 PM

Looking for some help. I downloaded the RoboMiner from Forex-Goldmine.com and copied it into the experts folder per instructions. I than re-started my FXDD MetaTrader and opened the AUD/NZD chart. Expanded the Expert Advisors folder in the Navagator pane and the RoboMiner is not listed.

Have I missed something?

Thanks in Advance,

It *sounds* like you've taken all the right steps and done everything correctly -

I've only had this happen once, and basically was pilot-error, in that I thought I had put it in /EXPERTS but was a subdirectory of /Experts... I have also seen others with multiple DEMO accounts, place it in the "wrong" FXDD account file/folder -

Do a "Search" for RoboMiner.ex4 and see if it shows up there - Or try restarting your FXDD account again -

Based on your statement, it should be there - See attached -

Whats the phrase...? "Danger Will Robinson Danger"

At least allow for the possibility that the NZ bank rate

cut tomorrow will break the 1.22s and the pair may settle for a while in the 1.26-1.28...

As always, lets be careful in the Forex

Appreciate the concern - but I wasn't clear - I meant, I'm running other EA's on DEMO accounts - .01 against $50k across 15+ pairs on 3 different PC's....

So these are not live - and based on this past week with NZ and AUS - it has indeed been an interesting ride.... Glad I demo'd it first! Am upside down now with RoboMiner 4:1 in the negative.... Hopefully it will settle back...

Cheers-

eur/chf is a better pair, been relatvely quiet , 5% floating again ,retraced almost 100% , i would not use the aussie/nzd, it's got big bump since last summer

Agreed, been considering this for days, it has an added advantage of a small spread

Been running it on both with the same settings - and to my surprise, EUR/CHF is fairing far better than the NZ/AUD -

I'm not a big fan of the EUR/CHF as it can jump/dive 200-500 pips in just a few hours... Been there, done that - got the hat and t-shirt, as well as the hole in my account - However, numbers don't lie - the past 2 weeks have been good for this pair...

Appreciate the help. Turns out that I had the RoboMiner stuck in a second version of MT4. Located the proper version and have the RoboMiner running on a Demo acct. Wonder if you can help me with another question. I was interested in backtesting the RoboMiner. I downloaded the AUD/NZD data in the History Center. Went thru all the steps for the strategy test. Clicked "Start" and all appeared to be testing fine. Once the test ended, I clicked on the "Results" and "Graph" tab... nothing there. I than used the same test settings but selected the "MACD Sample" EA that is per loaded. the test showed data and the graph. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance, ksh62

Hi, this is my first post on pipcop and I was tempted to join it as soon as possible lol. By the way u r doing great! I think it will be a big hit after forexpeacearmy.com. Maybe you should change it to forexEAarmy.com?lol
Anywayz I have a question regarding this robo miner ea. When is the expiration date of the demo?? it runs only for one month? Because I'd like to forward test for at least 2 months. I know the backtest looks very good so far but . . .

HI Togu, welcome to my site. I'm very glad you like it.

I believe the demo Jerry gave me will run indefinitely, so I think we'll be fine. After it gets to the 90 day mark, I'll ask for a version to run on a live account, and I am pretty sure Jerry will be okay with that - he seems like a really great guy.
