{quote} No offense taken. It's impossible for you or anyone to offend LOL So GMT Clock: Ok first off all the EA does not need the indicator. The indicator is only a tool for us to SEE where price is on the chart. Have u not noticed that I run the EA without the indicator on a single chart ? Second Please show your broker's clock. Just open the market watch window. Third did you manually enter the the gmt offset into the input gmt_offset? ?? If you did please change it back to 0. That offset is only used to set the BROKER gmt offset...
Dear Jess,

I am apologize. I think that I find the problem. This issue with GMT difference happen only on my VPS. I don't why but happen. Even more you can see from the screenshot that the EA open position when the GMT was 09:00.

Hi veslup,
No need to apologize . Even though I tested this EA for several months and got the major bugs fixed I know there will still be more bugs. Especially with certain cases like yours.

Ok, on your first image (the one that shows the indicator inputs) that looks ok. The trades opened at 12:00 broker time which is 16:00 gmt., So the EA is ok. But I cannot tell what is happening with the indicator. thIt shows the correct gmt/broker/local times but the blue vertical lines seem to line up on 09:00, which isnt correct. So try this. Unload version 7 indicator and load version 6.. see if that makes a difference. If it does it means I made a mistake and need to fix inversion 7.

On the second image (thatthe one machinewith no indicator inputs) it looks like you have set the EA to open trades at 09:00 gmt. But you have version 7 indicator set to show a start time of 19:00 broker time (see the FiboTimeEnd on the chart ? It's at 18:45, 15 minutes before the open the open hour, which is 19:00 broker time). Looking at the blue horizontal lines on the chart.. they seem to fall in the correct times. Notice how close they are o 18:30, that kinda tells me that the lines fall on 19:00 broker time. Which for that machine is gmt 16:00.

So befote trying version 6 indicator do this:
- hit the F3 key (global variables)
- Then in window that pops up. Delete all the lines that start with "xm7_"
- unload both indicator and EA
- reload both indicator and EA.

Let me know if that helps

Remember, the EA is independent from the indicator so it is more important that the EA work cause well you don't want to lose $$$$. Lol.

Next time please show the following:
- the list of globals (F3 key)
- the time at which the blue lines of the indicator are located
- The market watch clock
- your local time on your PC
- the EA inputs
- the indicator inputs.

Thnx, hope to here good news from you soon

The problem is coming when instal the EA and Indicator on my VPS. Please see the pictures and differences.
This screenshot is for my VPS. An I don't know from where he took GMT 12:56 instead of 15:56. Looks that the problem coming from VPS. I hope to solve this problem with V6. I don't have time to stay in front of my PC that why I need to use VPS.

I have deployed the EA simultaneously on both my VPS and PC with the same settings. While no trades were opened on the VPS either (as in the last two days), it worked on the PC and nearly the same trades were open as shown by veslup. Maybe it has to to with latency issues on the VPS?

Ok Gentleman,

I found the solution of our problem. The think are very easy.
For everybody who has VPS and have the same issue please read carefully my explanation.
So GMT - 16:00 is the same all over the word. Exactly at GMT 16:00 my VPS show me 13:00. That's mean that I need to open position on 13:00 wich is equal to 16:00.
To happen this one I have to go inside the settings on may EA and Indicator and instead of GMT -16:00 put there 13:00. That is. Very simple. You need to find GMT on you VPS and to check the time show you at GMT 16:00 and you have to put this time inside in you EA and Indicator. I hope to be helpful.
I am awaiting tomorrow at GMT 16:00 =13:00 to see whether I am rith or no.

Vesko

Yeslup
GREAT JOB.

But here try this .
For those of you having issues with the vps time try this:

On your vps go to your clock settings. In there change the time zone to the time zone you have on your computer. Once that is done the hour on the vps should match the hour on your machine.

That then should allow you to see the same open times for the trades.
You will not need to adjust the input hour.. you will be able to leave it at 16:00 gmt. All the results that I have shown are from my vps, so it
does works.

I will make a video to help out with these issues. Unfortunately I am not able to do this from the EA, this requires that the user manually change the windows time zone.

Hang in there guys.

Could you not code the EA just use GMT time regardless what timezone your PC is in?

{quote} Could you not code the EA just use GMT time regardless what timezone your PC is in?
Yes I can but that defeats the purpose of the approach. Besides gmt is universal in that you don't have to mess with figuring out when I or anyone trades. If I tell u that I start trading at 11:00 gmt Al u need to do is set whatever to the same gmt time.

What I will do is add info to the dash like in my other EA. That way u cna clearly see what times and etc are.

Here is a sample image of the other EA

Hi Xmess7 and thank you for this free Ea. I have tried it for a couple of days and still testing basket tp/sl.

Here are some ideas if you want to develop further.

a) A basket trailstop same as your weekly ccfp basket EA.

b) Variable pip requirement instead of 8 in general or perhaps a group defined requirement so a defined low spread currencies could have lower pip requirement than high spread currencies.

c) I don't know if this is a good idea but a combined basket and single trade sl/tp depending on which comes first. So if the basket hit sl/tp first all open trades and pending should be closed. If a single trade hit sl/tp first then the trade and pending closes as normal and there are one less pair to contribute to the basket. The single trade sl/tp should be calculated the same way as it does know with the fib levels.

There where one trade open and tp/sl was set accordingly to the rules.
