Default Flyer! EA - New Thread - Part 2

Hi Everyone!

Starting a new thread here so you don't have to go through the whole entire last one.

I'm posting a slightly updated file of Flyer V2.00, this only fixes a couple of bugs. The documentation remains the same.

Fixes are:

1. Fixed Limit Trading Hours routine.
2. Fixed a bug in the exit trade condition routines

Good luck all!

GirlFlyer (Marci)

Girlflyer,


Does the EA incorporate your new values for USD/JPY? It did not seem so.

It's always a pleasure to see that you are probably the only one whom I know will start a new thread once the existing one gets too long. It makes it easier for reading especially since there is no way to do a search of a post within a thread.

yes, this updated version has the good settings for USDJPY in it, plus some preliminary settings for EURJPY and AUDUSD. However, those two have not been deemed profitable yet on the long term.

Hi, Marci

I've loaded up the new version on my StrategyFx MT platform, we'll see how it goes. I haven't changed any of the parameters. I will let all trades execute fully (demo dollars anyway). I only had three trades before (running on GBPUSD only) for 18 pips (was over 80 at one point), 17 pips and -47 pips. In hindsight, maybe I should have turned it off during the news. I'll try to provide a fuller update on this version.

Thanks, Dan

Thanks Marci. Some questions.

For the following setting, will the EA exit all open positions when/if the Account balance drops to this threshold, or, will it just not enter any new positions?

----------------
MinVal = 5000 : Minimum value account will be reduced to in case
of drawdown (in dollars). Trading will not continue
below this value.
----------------

To be clear, in the Start/End Hours routine, we're to use GMT even if our broker's data feed is not GMT? You're using a method to determine GMT not based on the broker's data feed?

----------------
LimitHours = 0 : Set to Zero to trade 24 hours a day. Set to 1 to NOT trade
: during the hours specified below. Uses GMT!

StartHours = 21 : The default will not trade during 2100 and 0700 GMT
StartMins = 0 :
EndHours = 7 :
EndMins = 0 :
------------------

EA will not open any new positions if equity drops below MinVal, but will not close open positions

If your server is not GMT, I believe you will probably have to adjust the times on the LimitHours parameters.

Marci,
Just wanted to confirm that for EURUSD that we should use the SL recommended in the document? I think the one suggested in the EA itself is an error.

The settings currently in this updated version for eur/usd are the more aggressive settings and the s/l of 99 is correct for that. If you want to use the lesser settings, use the ones found in the first release of V200 in the Part 1 thread. You'll have to change the settings in the data arrays, though.
