Working fine on live account. I'll change settings a bit for tonight on e/g and e/j see what happens.

Pip seems to have got things working.

Ok I got it set now for tonight. e/j and e/g on original sets 22.00 - 00.30.

Then g/u 04.00 - 08.00 s/l 20 t/p 35.

Will try and get the dax working 04.00 - 07.00 but on demo.

Strategy tester still not taking orders but it can easily be a problem on my side. Triple checked spread setting, it is fine and i dont get any message in the journal.

Works on mine - must be a problem your side.

If there's some settings you want to run a test on post them I don't mind running it. That's on demo I try it on live which is a different mt4.

No, thank you. : )
For me backtesting in strategy tester means nothing more than testing EA features, which are working fine on live market.

Agree. Never used it before and it looks a load of junk anyway.

EA did not place a trade tonight. On C's template, did not even drew the range ... on EG it drew the range, but did not place a trade, probably due to the wide range I had with my settings. In general I noticed it only seems to work if I do not set up more than 1 pair in MT4. Will give it another go with only one pair tonight to see if that is the main problem.

Hi H, I'm not out of the woods yet either L.O.L. yesterday I set up a trade as posted above, every thing went ok. I left laptop on while I was away from home came back and another Random Trade happened AND STOPPED OUT. The pic is below thank god this was on a demo. Strange thing is , that the Random trade triggered 3 pips above my previous trade, but the profit line and stop loss were set at 10 pips difference to my first trade, but that meant my stop was 6 pips erm erm. I have set another trade for 09-30 to 10am for this morning see how that goes, I have changed a few things erm see how it all works out. Claudia seems to be doing fine, soooo, it must be me. Ahhhh, We'll get there, just need patience and getting to know how it all works. Catch you in a bit, Its a little awkward at the moment cause I'm needed here and there, also got a hospital run later. Phew!!

Sure, we will get there too. C has much more experience and better contacts than us, so she is way ahead, but we can make it. Take care P, hope everything is going well for you with hospital thing. Laters.

Made that mistake. We're learning slowly.

Took the 4 am - 8am break that was good.

Pip I probably spend a lot more time testing than you. Thought I had it under control then missed the magic number.

Making notes as I progress and another week will make a huge difference ! Will pass on what I pick up - if you get stuck ask away. If I can help I will.

Of course you can make it. It does take time and the dreaded patience.

Building up a bank of templates for different break outs - will put in a zip file at some point and post. Still a few things to figure out.

Ordered a new phone 22.00 last night - just got text saying it will be delivered between 12.00 and 13.00 today ! That is almost unbelievable.

Yes, takes patience most don't have, but it is worth it. Meanwhile watching cable - most likely will stay out for a while, PA is very volatile and double edged. With the phone is really unbelievable ... What will the catholics say, especially today? lol

Edit: Meanwhile someone dropped a hammer at M-PP ...
