Programming › Re: I Just Concluded Developing A Forex Trading Bot by monikulapo: 9:10am On Aug 12, 2025 |
IykeBazz: I’ve been quietly building a logic-first Forex bot that watches the market across multiple timeframes (M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H2, H4) before making any move.
It doesn’t chase trades—it waits. Trend + momentum + candlestick/reversal confirmations + support/resistance (with a news filter) must align or it stands down. No emotions, just rules.
By default it risks 1% of your account balance per trade (you can change it). I can keep it in manual (I approve entries) or switch to auto for fully hands-off execution.
After a deep audit with ChatGPT, it was rated among the top bots it’s seen for risk controls and signal quality. If you’re into FX and want to see how a logic-based MT5 (Windows) bot handles charts, I’m inviting a few testers. Reply “test” or DM me and I’ll send today’s access token plus a 2-minute setup guide. Use a demo account while testing. Not financial advice. I have questions about it o … since you’re repeatedly ignoring my post. 😂 |

VPS expired today. Getting new subs today, setup and testing tomorrow and hopefully back up on Wednesday. To highlight the point about the need for one and the effectiveness of the risk strategy deployed on the bot. I’ll show the profit and floating profit even though it’s been out since about 7am. This is a once a month expected occurrence for me but it could be hourly if not on a VPS, likewise the profits the bot had made by 7am were enough for me to break even in this almost worst case scenario.

If there’s interest, during periods of downtimes I could post about technical topics in manual trading that could be applied to forex, stocks and cryptocurrencies. |

Both my VPS are expiring this week, so I’ll be trying other setups until I figure out a long term arrangements. If there’s a downtime, it’s either tomorrow or possibly on Friday which in that case shouldn’t affect the posts. Going forward I’ll setup all the VPS on the same day so the downtimes are consistent and I might consider moving from monthly subscriptions to prevent the monthly downtimes.
I had a question on how best to achieve this until I realized I could just ask chat gpt. Wow.
In the meantime .. we off to a good start so far. |

We are all still learning, he's a guy with testosterone bursting out of everywhere and you have to give him the benefit of going to learn from experience. He would sleep or smash and realize that he should've just've made a post about police and show a pic of the accused in distress as proof. :p
It's like you don't know how annoying this scam accusations are especially on a clearance thread. Like even me myself that I get scammed almost everyday it's like wtf, it's a ruminating annoyance tbh.
Everytime he accuses me of it, my senses are always jolted. Before I thought I could explain myself reasonably, after a while I just ignore him.
So I can see how somebody who has never had to process such absurdity could overreact to a 'win'. |

Omayie: What nonsense. Who asked about your profile. Stop being pompous. You are just making a fool of yourself with this nonsense you just made So you have a problem with him bragging vs outrightly scolding the offender. It's not nice but its an understandable emotional reaction to someone nagging him unreasonably. Ignoring his lost deals and whatever repercussions he might have faced. I still always find it hard to process. And we want good things  enough clearance sales section 😂 .. haven't missed this place mehn |

Smartworkfx2: Thank you for this. What will happen will shock him. This time it won't be a low level police station at ikorodu. I went all the way from egbeda to ikorodu. Couldnt go back home on August 7th because he didn't show up that day and l had to lodge in a hotel.
He is an illiterate and doesnt know that a petition is stronger than a court case.
I make average of 300k to 400k weekly on nairaland. Because of this guys loosed mouth l have lost four car deals with an income ot 200(, 200k ,200k and 100k = 700k.
I have three kids, four staff, five kids l adopted that l pay their school fees. I have a foundation co-owned by my brother that we help widows an orphans as well as single mothers.
I am a politician and being groomed to become a house of rep member in my state for 2031. This boy took over 24 hours to post his apology letter. And even had the Audacity to still be insulting me anyhow.
No remorse and empathy at all. Two years ago l spent 320k on a case like this and got 8 people arrested on facebook who called me scammer.
He felt pompous and comfortable at ikorodu because he lives there and his dad is a police officer. His dad warned him to behave and comply because his dad knows the law.
Character assassination and defamation is a serious offence in Nigeria. Court case na long thing. Its a pettion that will deal with him. I promise him that he will pay for damages. The Audacity is so amazing I love what I am seeing. We love empathizing with nuisances in Nigeria and then would complain about the rot and decay in our society. I even had to ignore the dude recently when he and his usual gang wanted to start their tantrums. They never know when to take the L and let it go. There's countless proof of the Yehmy dude being a nuisance and you being reasonable several times, but when you decide enough is enough you become a villain. I remember this vividly coz I had to tell you to let it go almost a month ago. Our morality, justice and equity iq is somehow. |

I presume they're doing undisclosed updates. We sef wey dey into hosting, atimes do such at such unGodly hours without informing clients because we know most wouldn't be active at such hour.
But seriously, this people need be careful so as not to raise blood pressure of some people. You need see the way I was giving one baba assurances like say me know first hand wetin happen. Good afternoon, could this be the company desensitizing users to internal market manipulations ? Like most subscribers won’t panic if the anchor investors are still on board meanwhile the anchor investors can remove their funds at will, allowing the fund managers to move fund around to account for demand. Thinking about it .. in this Fintech age in Nigeria we are well past faulty apps - It feels like a regulated scam if you can’t access your investments at will. |

If you do you research well there’s also alts that satisfy those criteria and still don’t bleed as much even if BTC Sunday dumps happens. |
Investment › Re: Crypto Currency Investors Thread by monikulapo: 4:08pm On Aug 09, 2025 |
Usually if BTC is moving well, low leverage buy alts starting from Thursday evening, you should’ve 20% TP before Saturday afternoon. Thursday evening aggressive entry, Friday safe entry. Take your profit store it in BTC repeat.
You can back test from start of the year to confirm. |

A305: Frankly, in the world of Equities. It's not worth deeping your toes into dividend paying stocks if you don't have the financial muscle. And I mean huge financial muscle. Billionaires that buys so much of it and measures thier worth with it are not fools. But for growth S&P 500 and ETFs, you don't need too much money. . Although I’m still reading through this thread. Please can you advise on ETFs to check out on Bamboo, I also won’t mind good dividend paying Nigerian stocks to do my research on. I don’t think it makes sense to liquidate dollars to spend Naira. Perhaps should I dm ? |

hfaith: No, you are still not getting my point. It is how you design your stuff. I do understand all what you are saying.
Thanks for your time. I have a little time. $100 one time payment and $150 over 5 months for $1000 over 6 months. Essentially $250 to gain ~ $1000 in exchange for occasional reviews. This is the straightforward and most secure implementation yet you complained it’s expensive. I mean you already lost me there but I was willing to explore your point of view. You want a software with back doors you can exploit. How much EXACTLY are you willing to pay for what you want ? |

A305: Go on Bamboo.
Go and buy dividend payinging ETFs or growth S&P500 stocks.
That way, you killing 3 birds with 1 stone.
1 - you hedging against Nigeria inflation
2 - You hedging against forex exchange
3 - You enjoying dividend.
Bonus point - Keep compounding and you won't be broke for life. Even your children will inherit and keep earning your dividends after you pass on.
An alternative
If you have real money; not the kind of chicken change I have oooo. I mean real money (Block money), the kind money that when you deposit it in a bank, Branch manager or regional manager will be calling to check in on you, sending your account statements through a gorgeous female bank staff to your house. Thank kind money — I will suggest you hand the money to hedge fund manager, go home to sleep and stop dragging MMF rates with us lol I appreciate this. So Bamboo and dividend paying ETFs over mutual funds ? Please correct me if I’m wrong, I thought mutual funds managers were the Nigerian version of ‘Hedge funds’ ? |
Investment › Re: Mutual Funds by monikulapo: 12:54am On Aug 09, 2025 |
A305: As regards this your fear, I see that some other persons here has replied well to your concern but I feel the need to educate you simplistically so you can educate others in your circle or offline.
MMF, regardless of the (brand/bank name) is a pool of investors that an asset management (brand/bank), collect their all their money to invest in low risk investment mostly Government Tbills, fixed deposits and commercial paper.
Note—Commercial paper isn't entirely low risk, which is why the least allocation of funds goes to it. And most fund are usually allocated to Tbills.
Enter Tbills.Tbills or Treasury bills is government way of issuing promisory note to collect money and pay back shortly within a year. Government can never default or go penniless broke to pay back and in worst case scenario, they will print money to payback debt. The only way you won't get your money back is if Nigeria ceases to exist. (Shout out to Trump and Putin massive number of Nuclear war head), those can really wipe out a country.
Now the reason why rates fluctuate is because of MPR & Inflation rate (Assignment: go learn the full meaning of MPR and submit your assignment here.)
Anyways, MPR in one word means Interest rate, so what happens is; If Nigeria inflation number is high, CBN will increase MPR and Increase Tbills yield to force inflation to come down. This is what has been happening since last Quarter of 2024 till now. So, when Tbills yield is up, MMF rates will shoot up too because the buck of money invested in MMF is in Tbills. Then you will begin to smile like Dangote lol
What CBN is essentially doing is mopping up and raking in excessive money in circulation. People like me and your will rush to invest in Tbills or MMF for high yield gain but CBN motive is to get rid of our money in circulation.
So back to now: MMF interest is failing, what is happening?
What happened was: Following the last MPC, CBN began to maintain the same MPR for banks, they rebased our inflation from 2009 to 2014 first and secondly rebased our GDP to 2019. Drum roll ... Ghen,Ghen, Ghen, Ghen..., suddenly inflation numbers began to fall since the second quarter of this year.
Investors like us saw it coming, this was why I made a comment post here in the past two thread page before this one, that MMF rates will soon cool down, a couple of guys type jargon at me but I was smiling offline reading their replies. Anyways, what is happening is Inflation numbers are cooling down, CBN is starting to reduce yield on Tbills, hence MMF rates will reduce too. Thanks to Cardoso Aka Cardi-B.
Why did I take my time to type this much?
I just wanted you to understand that this is normal and this happens in circle, you only being aware of it now because your MMF investment is teethered to the health of the economy and inflation numbers just like the performance of altcoins is anchored to Bitcoin.
Don't panic, Don't pull your money from fund manager 1 to fund manager 2 because they are all experiencing the same shift and transition in the economy. What you should focus instead is the 9th wonder of the world which Albert Einstein called, Compound interest on your MMF.
Peace out. Thanks very much for this ELI5. So far from my observations a lot of the transactions are not instantaneous. Please which mutual fund or platform would you advise if I’m looking for medium to high risk investments with little platform downtimes ? |

hfaith: Got you man. I do have demo and using python too just want to know your approach. I think you need to consider another approach where someone can still run your stuff locally on their laptop without VPS and it will still work. If you truly understood what you’re getting into, you’ll understand why paid can’t be installed locally. However, I really appreciate the view. Please let me know how your progress goes though. |

hfaith: It depends, If I decide I do not want to use VPS and run it on my own, do you not support that with the license? Then you should consider manually trading or you could probably find a script for your use case online. I developed this taking into account my trading environment. You don’t want downtime when a bot is automatically setting trades - I haven’t had grid light in a week, Network lags, faulty router hardware etc Plus I need my servers close to the brokers servers across multiple accounts for minimal latency etc. Hence why you need a VPS. In addition it affords better control - If I’m posting profits from my VPS you can’t be making otherwise because it’s the same ‘computer’. |
