OK, I'll send you the new version by email. Just remember, it's coded to my account so will only work on Demo.

Hi Walison

Unfortunately, the order that News is loaded is based on the order in the Forex Factory Calendar. Even then it's actually a special XML version of the Calendar.

There are a couple of things you can do to force it to show Non-Farm Employment Change.

Set FFSymbol to USD on your USD pair
Change Include Filter to show 'Non-Farm' or Exclude Filter to show 'Average'

If you want to trade CAD Employment
Set FFSymbol to CAD on your Canadian pair

Hope that helps

Sooooo, I decided to scrap the idea of the Elite Version. Although it is technically possible to open multiple orders per news event, it is obviously slower. In fact, if there is a reason to trade with multiple orders, you should switch on the MagicRandom setting and use multiple charts.

Also, I had an issue with getting prospective users to sign up to an email list as most providers like Mailchimp do not allow emails for anything to do with Trading.

As a result, I have decided to offer the AmazingEA download exclusively through my website http://amazingea.wordpress.com. But in order to make sure people register I have made the website Private and you will need a Wordpress.com account and also to request access, by doing the following:-

1) Create a Wordpress.com account
2) Navigate to http://amazingea.wordpress.com
3) The website will not load but you will see a message allowing you to request access
4) I will grant you access and you will receive an email prompting you to login
5) Navigate to http://amazingea.wordpress.com/download and click the link for 'AmazingEA Downloads'

Apologies that this is so convoluted but this is the only way I can understand how many people download the EA and how many decide to buy it.

Hide NumOrders Setting and Expose MagicRandom Setting
Since I’m not offering the Elite Version, I’ve hidden the setting that changes the number of orders, but I’ve unhidden the MagicRandom setting that allows you to trade the same event/same currency on multiple charts..

Monitor Largest Spread before News and include in Risk Calculation - New

The Largest Spread is taken from 1 minute before the news upto the point the orders are opened and used in the Risk Calculation. Bear in mind that the Order Size becomes fixed when they are opened and can't be modified so if the orders are opened 30 seconds before the News, the largest spread might still be quite small.

Also, this only affects traders that are using Money Management

Hi there

The positions were cancelled 5 seconds after the News because there wasn't a big enough reaction to the news to move the price to activate the orders. If you want to make sure they activate, set Pointsaway to less like 50 instead of 80.

You can also keep the positions opened longer by setting STWAN=30 instead of 5 which will keep them for 30 seconds instead of 5 seconds.

Hope that makes sense

All

Some clients asked me for the settings I use for the Trade Explorer. I've attached an 'AmazingEA MT4 Profiles.zip' to the first post of this thread. By unzipping and opening the profile AmazingEA, you will have the same Charts and Settings that I'm using.

I use 7 charts:-

AUD News - AUDUSD, 5m
USD News - USDJPY, 5m
CAD News - USDCAD, 5m
CNY News - AUDUSD, 5m
EUR News - EURUSD, 5m
GBP News - GBPUSD, 5m
NZD News - NZDUSD, 5m

Each chart has AmazingEA set to Pointsaway=30, CTCBN=1, SL=200, TP=None, STWAN=20, OCO=True, TrailDelay=30, Trailing Points=100.

Well, good. I have been testing out various settings. I stopped it taking opposite trades which seldom made sense. Also, added TrailDelay which is a killer feature. By waiting until the price action has calmed down a bit for 30 seconds and then trailing, you can set the Trail tighter than one would have dared before.

If you have a system you can leave it running on Demo for a while, download the Profile I just put up there and leave it running to trade automatically.

Will do,
If I decide to go Live with this is it already set up with my License, I can't remember...

I believe I now have the time to start playing with it a bit and see if we continually improve on it, looks the goods so far from the original days mate.

Just checked I have V9-01 under my name

It's setup to use your surname but since you have 9.02 which is quite old now I will send you an update to the latest.
