Click on the attachment icon (top right) then click on the ViperGridEA attachment. The major issue with this EA is the "Death Trade" which will wipe out your account. The exponential nature of how it has to open up new trades means the lot sizes ...

Remove Start_Time from next release — Hi Geoff, Can you please remove Start_Time from the next release as an extern variable so that we cannot change it. (hard code it as 23?) We should only be able to change GMToffset - this will help solve ...

I agree... Geoff - looking at the candle charts you are posting my broker (GoMarkets) has exactly the same candles on exactly the same timeframes - but GoMarkets is GMT +2 ! Cheers, Andrew.

Geoff - I am a little confused, if Tokyo open is 0:00 GMT, why do you have this as the default in the EA: extern int GMToffset=0; extern int Start_Time= 1; According to that, you are saying that you want the EA to start at 1:00 GMT... ? Shouldn't ...

Print statement filling up journal — Hi Geoff, In the next release you might want to comment out line 325 - Print("Trade hour = ", trade_hour); So that it doesn't fill up the journal with this info. I imagine you had that in there for ...

Hi Heikken, can you try applying this modification then run your test again? It may not be related but I had similar issues (originally) during certain backtests. I managed to track it down to the way the EA opened pending orders. See if you can ...

Sure, here it is. There are only 3 lines of code. To see which are the new lines, simply have a look at the //EJAZ comments. If you want to use this, simply find this function in the EA and replace it with the version below. For those who don't know ...

Don't use this modification - changing an if statement to a while statement. (I would have edited the original post but I cant) Don't use it for 2 reasons. 1. It is no longer needed if you apply this modification 2. After lots of testing, I found a ...

Lot size calculation — Hi Viper, this is a modification I am using so that the EA will open up "full" lot sizes. i.e. instead of opening 6 pending orders @ 0.01 lot size it will open 1 pending order @ 0.06 lot size. This has a few main ...

Backtesting speed improvement idea — Hi Viper, When backtesting I noticed that the EA gets slower and slower and slower... In fact to backtest a year of data was taking days. After looking at the code, I saw the reason why. The function ...

Deleting pending orders quickly — Hi Plasmapants, I just had a look at the code for deleting the pending orders. The function that does this is deletePendingOrders(). That function should go through and delete ALL of the pending orders at the ...
