{quote} My system has been open and working for the last 10 hours and it has only opened 3 trades. have you altered any of the original settings?
so after 24 hours continuous trading, it has opened and closed 7 trades, 3 by me manually, all in profit. system worked manually.
4 automatically with 4 losses.

all settings as standard,

version1.22 smiley face on.

I do notice that the time stamp on the trades is not the same as the time on my PC i dont know if this has any effect? I will be travelling for the next 10 hours so I wont be able to leave the system on for that time but any comments would be welcome as this is a little disappointing.

Not a good day. EA running untouched since 5:00 pm Eastern. Practically all transactions prior to NY session lost. A few transactions at NY session running.

One setup of v1.2 seems to be picking up delayed entries whereas another setup of the same version is not taking delayed entries.

Another setup of v1.22 is not picking up delayed entries.

Maybe some coding refinement will help.

Probably not the best idea to be trading eur/xxx over ECB, especially with such a long euro concentration , plus usd/chf is basically the inverse of eur/usd

That's normal, the trades times are broker times, not local times. The broker timezone is different than yours.

{quote} Hi Andrey, I have checked on your broker platform, I don't see any issue with the pairs you mentionned in your screenshot. For me: 134.436 - 133.935 = 0.501 => 501 points (or pipettes) => 50 pips 150.624 - 150.101 = 0.523 => 523 points (or pipettes) => 52 pips 0.68405 - 0.67905 = 0.00500 => 500 points (or pipettes) => 50 pips The StopLoss value is in Pips, maybe you expected it to be in Points?
Thank you.
Yes, I really messed up the points and pipes.

What is different between your two setups and what kind of improvement are you thinking about?

Regarding delayed entries, in general, I think I will add an option so that we could take the entry at a certain distance from the 33EMA, and not only when PA touches it. I suggest that because I can see from my tests that some very good entries are missed. Attached is an example from today.

Hi, folks
Today is not the best day. I m currently down 100 pips for the day, it was -150 few hours earlier. One day or one week is not a valid example for the validity of the system. It looks great and I m patient to see more. As MM said earlier, he had up to 8 (i believe) loosing trades in a row, and then profit again. We have to be patient.
I would like to ask Damiend to add option to "delayed entries" (besides pending orders) - another pending order let's say 10 pips away from the signal. Meaning, if price doesn't retrace back to 33, and continues moving in signal direction - pending order will kick in.

{quote} Instrument with 0, 2 and 4 digits have same value for Pips and Points. But... Some Broker may have different digits for some instrument. My ICMarket have Gold, D30 (DAX), US30 (DOW), US500 (SP500) ... 2 digits This calculator say GOLD Pip is 0.01 And Dukas calculator for gold say: {image} USA30 and USA500 same 0.01 per pip Hm... You decide.
Thanks mate. I understand your point and will let your code as is then.
It looks like the gold pip with my broker is 0.1 but I have a special case, all the infos I found on the web are saying 0.01 like you.

Turned on my EA's at London lunch. Technically only 5 trades, although pic shows 6. I manually entered AudCad buy on pull back to 33. Then 33 did a flip flop, and gave another long signal, and EA opened the second trade.

What I learned:
Even if EA is set to open only 1 trade, it apparently doesn't see manual entry (yes, I used "Trade Now" Button). This is not a complaint, or request, this is just info for all using this method.

GBP trades both hit profit Stop Loss. Note to self, 'I'll change GBP settings to 35, before going to BE'. GU would have hit TP (55), and GJ still has 20 to go.

I'm satisfied with both the method, and the fantastic EA. Also grateful we have had very few missile tests from the FF Trolls.

I too will go with 'forexdaist' method of starting with Tokyo open, going to London Close, or London Close -1.

Any day with + pips is a Freakin' Awesome Day ! ! !

If you attempt to enter market @ 100, but broker does not honor entry until 104 (or 96), no trade will be taken.

The two setups were the same and on ver 1.2

The difference was that the MT4 instance that took the delayed trade was running at the time the the initial signal was generated but was not taken due to the distance from MA, while the other was started later on and was not running at the time the initial signal was generated.

As for "refinement", I was wondering if speed of executing the relevant code was an issue, you might look into it. I reviewed the journal around the time the delayed order was taken and observed that activities with respect to two other pairs was going on exactly at the same time. This was also the case with the MT4 instance that did not take the delayed trade.

Aah ok thanks for the details, I understand and know what happened. The speed isn't the issue.
By default the EA starts to work and scan for signals at the current bar when it is loaded. It doesn't scan for signals in the past.

That's a good improvement I could add to the delayed trades feature. At the EA init, I will add some code to scan for a delayed entry in the past.
Thank you for your tests!
