Is this system explained in detail somewhere? — I read the first page of this thread, but I don't understand how the system works based on the 2 pictures in the first post. Is it explained in detail somewhere, perhaps a later post, or are ...

Should one stay out until after the Asian session? — Someone posted that it might help to stay out during part of the Asian session because there's lots of whipsaws then. I forget exactly what he said. I think it was the first few hours that ...

Midnight GMT is 7:00 pm EST. I'm not sure about the rest of that question but a trading day is 24 hours from 00:00 to 00:00. The time you see a bar open and close would depend on your broker's server time. My broker is 8 hours ahead of me so maybe ...

A 50 pip SL and if it's hit, you place an order in the opposite direction? In order for that to work, stop-outs would have to be rare. How many times are you stopped out per day? Thanks.

The best time to exit is during the 12:00 pm bar on Friday — If you want to close orders at the end of the week, the best time is during the 12:00 pm bar on Friday. That's still a 4 hour window, but it's something. Don't wait until the end of ...

How do you pick the entry time? — I tried entering this morning on the 08:00 bar after the uptrend was clear. I had a 30 pip stop and was stopped out. Do I just need to use a bigger sl or is there a way to pick the best time to enter? Thanks.

I will look through those threads when I have more time. Are you using those settings - M15 and 0.23 - in a live account? What is your weekly or monthly ROI and what percentage of your balance is DD? Thanks a lot.

I'll answer for C.E.O. just in case he misses your post. I'm going to test his EA too. I don't know what your computer background or metatrader knowledge is so I'll be detailed. Just take the file you downloaded - Straddle_Trail.mq4 - and copy it to ...

Sounds like you beat me to it. I wanted to do the same thing, although my EA wouldn't be ready for some time since I am fairly new to mql. I will try yours though. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks, that appears to be what I was looking for. I looked through the tutorials in the metatrader forum and they are all about using the platform. The MQL editor reads like a technical manual: a 1 sentence definition of a function, a 1 line ...

Oh my, where do I begin? Everything you said is B.S. First of all, do you make lots of friends with that patronizing attitude of yours? You have only 1 post more than me, yet I get the distinct impression that you think you know everything. If I'm a ...

How soon should one start to see open orders? — I've had it running for about 10 hours - still nothing. Maybe that's normal. It's running on EURUSD and USDCHF. The divergence on EURUSD is 0.0049 and on USDCHF it's 0.0053. When should I expect ...

Thanks for the answer to the 2nd question. You misunderstood my first question. When I said "how do I set up a trailing stop in an EA?", I wasn't referring to setting a TS on an open order. I've been learning MQL and I want to know how to write the ...

Awesome strategy. — tkimble, I just found this thread. I read the first few pages, but that's all. 42 pages is too much to read through. This strategy sounds as simple as it is clever. It's Friday and the market's closed so I'm going to ...
