Disliked{quote} This typically happens when the PC time is slightly out. In the instructions I recommend a tool called Net Time (www.timesynctool.com) that you install on your PC and it keeps the clock extremely accurate. You can also check the logfiles to see if your trades were deleted before the news. If you can't install something like that for any reason set UseBrokerTime=true and the EA will use the server clock.Ignored

DislikedI've been a little quiet on here lately. The reason for this is that I've been writing a new EA !!! Based on the same technology in AmazingEA, it also knows the times of News Events. Depending on certain conditions, it places an after news trade using a limit order and uses Fibonacci extensions to set a Take Profit. Risk / Reward is usually 1:1 on small moves but more commonly 1:2 on larger moves. (Reward is 2x Risk). It's also going to wait at least 5 minutes after news before trading so there won't be any Broker, Spread or Slippage issues...Ignored

If you are new to using the EA I would step through the following instructions from the top. First, get the EA to run manually, next automatically but without using the Settings File and then finally using the Settings File. How do I make AmazingEA work manually? 1) Drop AmazingEA onto a Chart. Ensure there is a Smiley Face beside the name AmazingEA in the top-right corner of the chart. 2) Change setting AutoTradeNews to false. 3) Lookup the Time of a (preferably High Impact) News Event on Forex Factory Calendar. 4) Ensure UseBrokerTime is set to false. 5) Convert the News Time to the equivalent local time 6) Set NYear, NMonth, NDay, NHour, NMin and NSec to what the clock will say when the News hits. 7) The Default Settings are adequate for Testing on Demo 8) If the EA doesn't place orders check the 'AmazingEA Troubleshooter' Text File How do I make AmazingEA work automatically? 1) In MT4, Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, make sure 'Allow DLL Imports' is ticked. 2) Drop AmazingEA onto a Chart. Ensure there is a Smiley Face beside the name AmazingEA in the top-right corner of the chart. 3) The EA works on any Demo account, but only paid for versions can be coded to a Live Account Name or Number for use on a Real Account 4) Licenses are available through the AmazingEA website, please see https://amazingea.wordpress.com/purchase for details. 5) Change setting ReadSettings to False and set FilterByCurrency to True 6) You can also force it to filter to one specific countries News Events by setting FFSymbol to a specific country (e.g. FFSymbol=AUD) 7) The EA will fetch the next News Event which is relevant for that currency pair and country from the Forex Factory Calendar 8) The Default Settings are adequate for Testing on Demo 9) If the EA doesn't place orders check the 'AmazingEA Troubleshooter' Text File How do I make AmazingEA work automatically and pickup settings automatically from a CSV file? 1) In MT4, Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, make sure 'Allow DLL Imports' is ticked. 2) Drop AmazingEA onto a Chart. Ensure there is a Smiley Face beside the name AmazingEA in the top-right corner of the chart. 3) The EA works on any Demo account, but only paid for versions can be coded to a Live Account Name or Number for use on a Real Account 4) Licenses are available through the AmazingEA website, please see https://amazingea.wordpress.com/purchase for details. 5) Copy the AmazingEA-Settings.csv file into MQL4/Files. The Excel file AmazingEA-Settings.xlsx is supplied for your convenience to help you edit the CSV but the EA doesn't use it. 6) Change setting ReadSettings to True and check the News Event listed is matched by an entry in the AmazingEA-Settings.csv file. 7) A number should appear next to the SettingsLine and this is the line number of the AmazingEA-Settings.csv file excluding the Header Line 8) The EA will fetch the next News Event which is relevant for that currency pair from the Forex Factory Calendar 9) The Default Settings are adequate for Testing on Demo 10) If the EA doesn't place orders check the 'AmazingEA Troubleshooter' Text File
