They're description of what their doing. That's what a bank flow system is.

The thing they're calling "arb" is actually bank flow trading.

You need to remember, this is a "scalping" type system. Small profits. If you're looking for something of that size on a regular basis, this isn't for you.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

Not that hard. But read earlier on this thread we talk about the "lagging" type of arb. That's not what we're trying to do hear.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

Well, I'm glad you said it first. I was thinking along those lines. A "fat" client to do all the calculating. And then sending back the right signals to the right terminal on what to do w/ a particular pair. Get's the EA's out of the ...

So your JAVA server would talk to the MT4 clients or to the MT4 servers themselves?

Holy sh*t batman! That adds a new krinkle in the mix. I'm going to have to digest this. THANKS ianj1!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see where you're going w/ this. I can get around the event driven scenerio w/ while(true)....sleep(10). But that's polling. Event or polling, either way; there has to be something to trigger an action to take place. Each pair is good, only if each ...

Well get ready for a memory hog. It goes something like this: double dblLastValue=0; double dlbCurrentValue=0; //code here to set dblCurrentValue if (dblCurrentValue != dblLastvalue) { //send dblCurrentValue over dblLastValue=dblCurrentValue; } Now, ...

I'd keep it seperate on it's own chart and let it do it's thing. I looked at the code and it's pretty streamlined.

That's actually not a bad idea. I'd go down to 20 sec's on it. Ronald, might be worth it to put out to the testers to see if their order execution speeds get better.

MT4 only.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

Hmmmm. This is kind of what I thought. This may require a fundamental change in thought here. One EA per symbol. The loop through all pairs in one EA is taking up time as we can't get to the next pair while we're waiting for the last pair to finish ...

You don't understand how this arb works. This EA isn't a 'latency' arb. Differences are: Positions are open for longer than 1 second. Can last hours. We rarely get back in on the same pair immediately on the same brokers. You won't have 100% wins on ...

Fielder did his on Demo accounts. Put it on live retail brokers, it falls flat on it's face. He doesn't take into account freeze levels.

Sorry I've been away for a while. Family stuff. What's the error you're getting on the closing of orders? Or is it just not triggering the close?

My Own Broker Arbitrage

Thank you a LOT ianj1! Let me know what you find.

Now this throws a monkey wrench into what metaquotes told me.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

Now I'm confused. You can send orders concurrently as long as they are in different MT4 instances.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

can you be a little more specific w/out giving out names?
