Disliked{quote} Welcome to the thread, Soros. If you read the whole thread, you may have noticed that everybody trades with it differently. Some with more success than others. It can only help get a trade live at the exact time news hits the market. Some trades will experience bad slippage if there's no liquidity. So it's important to pick your trades carefully and manage your risk. Many traders try to trade just the news spike but I find that to make any money that way you have to risk huge losses. Personally I now use it with wider SL and TP than I ever...Ignored

DislikedAlan, When u say keep the opposite trade open for 1hr. Do you mean keeping yr pending order open for both without cancellation? Sorry for being a noob, what do u mean by 3R and 10R? Personally I have been using it on big news like NFP. But recently, it is pretty bad. Especially the recent one which was release 10 sec earlier. Killed me badly.Ignored
DislikedIs there any chance to make this EA automatical to take data from news indicator or something like that??Ignored
DislikedI just received a PM asking about running AmazingEA on indices with 1 decimal place. I thought I'd post my reply:- AmazingEA shouldn't need any modification to make it run. The code uses Point() everywhere. It's just the default settings that mess it up as they assume a 5 digit instrument. OK, I tried it on FT100 which is 2 decimal places. The default for MaxSpread is 60 so I just set that to 0 as that was disabling the EA as the normal spread on FT100 is 150. Because I had to try it on Live I switched off AllowLiveTrading (or set AllowBuys and...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi Allan. Thanks again for such a wonderful system. My question relates to the Points Away, Points Gap and Modify Gap. On my terminal, whenever I use the default 80, 2000 and 10 settings, it seems to set my trades at over 200pips away from the price. If I want that to be, lets say, 10 pips, shouldnt it be 100, 10, 10 respectively? Thanks.Ignored
DislikedHi Branac and Alan, I just found this thread this day. Great job, mates. I really appreciate for your effort to make this amazing ea. I had been looking for this kind of ea. Here my result from USD news a few moments ago, Building Permits. Real/live acc. I put it on GBPUSD. But when I put it on several pairs, the ea only opened 1 position. What I miss? {quote} Totally agree {image} {image} {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} The idea of PointsGap is to open trades 200 pips away at SecBPO seconds before the news and move them into the correct position (8 pips away) according to SecBAO seconds before the news. Trades get modified until SecBMO seconds before. If you don't want to use this feature set PointsGap=0 or SecBAO=SecBMO or SecBAO=0. Any of those will disable it. ModifyGap tells the EA to only modify if price moves more than 1 pip i.e it stops unnecessary small changes so the EA is ready for bigger price changes..... If the trades aren't moved you might...Ignored
