DislikedFXCM isn't a ECN... f.....g b....t On demo account, Long was triggered 1 sec after the news... and FXCM (live) executed me 3 sec after news.... 2 seconds in hold, I really wonder what the hell they were doing with my order... they wait market hit high, then they processed my trade... 2 seconds is huge in such conditions.... it can't be slippage, it's manipulation !Ignored
DislikedThe test was successfull... pending orders created and deleted as not triggered. There are 2 news on the same time for this afternoon (NFP & Unemployment rate), so the tittle must be truncated... however, make sure "GV_FxCal_News_Filtered" should be = 1 (as picture above... If not, pick up the text you see on rectangle and write down into external parameter case sensitive) Ps: Also by default, lotsize is 0.1 and "Scale_out_News" = true... so make sure your broker allows mini lot, otherwise it can't close partially. Ps2: Only set "Load_Fx_Calnews"=...Ignored
Disliked{quote} I did exactly as posted above. Unfortunately the GV FxCal News Filtered won't stay = 1. As soon as I close it out it disappears. Darn. I did write it down and copied it exactly as instructed still it won't stay. Everything else is working perfectly. Thanks for all your help...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Mitch, Thx for reporting bugs... I just tried to set it up for the coming news on "Building Approval" high news on AUD: {image} {image} So it works, but I had to replace "Non-Farm,Employment" by the unique word "Building" It should fix the matter Cheers PipsFestivalIgnored
Disliked{quote} Thanks for the response. I too had done just that as well. However the "1" that's put in the global setting won't stay. In other words when i highlight the zero and change it to a 1 then close it, it won't stay and reverts back to a zero. Don't know why. Weird. Sorry for the continued issues. Thanks for all your help.Ignored
Disliked{quote} You can't force the global variable to be "1" like that. You must set up the word of the tittle news coming up into "Pick_up_News" Parameters as shown above. If you use the EA on various pairs, then you have to put false on "Load_Fx_Cal_News" Parameters except for one chart. cheersIgnored
Disliked{quote} The upper left box is picking up the upcoming news events, no problem. I type in the upcoming one in the space pick up news. Then I go to global variables and it is still showing a "0" so not sure what's happening. It looks really promising, having to manually place these alerts at the appropriate times is really a pain. Thanks for all your help...it shouldn't be this hard...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Have you done this into option --> Expert tab? {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} Actually my chart looks exactly like yours. With both the "next" and "last" showing. So the ea is picking everything up. The only thing is that on the global variables tab I have under GV_FxCal_News_Filter the value is "0" instead of "1" Everything is perfect except for the "0" instead of "1" I just loaded the ea onto another computer and it's the same situation. So close, yet so far. This ea is easily the best I've ever come across for news trading. Just gotta get it to work...Ignored
DislikedHi Pipsfestival, I have downloaded the EA from post 1. The EA Beta 1.0 and followed the 3 steps to set it up. Loaded the EA on an EU chart. There seems to be a parameter missing "Assets-" So I am unable to specify which pairs to trade on. Are you still using version 1.0? I saw you mentioned back in July you were going to bring out version 2.0. FXCal_News==== FXCal_News Parameters === Load_Fxcal_News=true Pick_up_news=Non-Farm,Employment Time_Alert_Min=15 Setting==== Standard Parameters === Long_LotSize=0.1 Short_LotSize=0.1 Trailing==== Trailing...Ignored
