This strategy being weekly and automated is relaxing, if it will turn out to be profitable in the long run too it would be fantastic.
Nevertheless also fully automated strategies need some sort of control and this morning when I checked my VPS I saw that my EA didn't open any trade returning annoying common error from MT4.

Since I'm testing the overall code + system itself I changed the opening time setting it to 10:45 on a GMT+2 broker.
It opened 21 trades and closed the basket after 1 hour and 5 mins at +2.81% on trailing.

Do you have any symbol suffix? (i.e. from EURUSD to EURUSD.usd) or (i.e. from EURUSD to EURUSDi) if you have, you need to add that suffix to each pair in the settings ... in my case this was the problem. I hope this solves your problem

{quote} At the time of the open it was a valid buy and at the time you were looking at it it had reversed due to AUD news. I have said in the first post that this strategy does not account for weekly news events, they can go either way and in the case of this pair it reversed.
Thanks for sharing the EA..
Btw, why dont put an option to close all trades when total pips has reached (can be both profit or loss) instead of profit percentage ?
Just a suggestion..

There is already that option in the settings, you can choose % or points.

On Monday night after the first daily close candle of the week I'll post and share my valid pairs for the week.
Hi mrdfx,
thank you for the System. I tried it the first time today and so far the result Looks good. Will watch it and update the thread with my numbers.

Additionally I have one Question:
Primary it´s fine, that a System seems to work. I the second stage I would like to understand it :-)

Can you help me understanding what the indicator "...LuxIng_Mod.." does?
I am not a coder, for this reason the source file doesn´t help, because I don´t understand it.
Maybe anyone can explain the function of the indi?

Thank you all and green pips

Nice! You opened 1 hour later and had some different pairs which seemed to work well in your favor.

Like I said on first post we can experiment on different open times to find an optimal time.

Hi Bullilulli, the indicator simply looks at the current candle if it is bullish (green) or bearish (red) that's it.

We are checking at a specific time of day for the confluence of the higher time frames to follow the main trend of the pairs.

0.01 per $200 balance, so $5000/200 = 25, so lot size is 0.25.

I noticed you had set opening time to 3 I just thought with the USD daylight time shift which changes my broker time from +3 GMT to +2 GMT I would adjust opening time to 4 which is 2 am GMT It is also one full 4 hr candle on my broker.

How do I get the EA to use a percentage of my account for the risk?

I've set the "Use Risk % of Account" to true, and set the Risk % to 1.0, and the balance is £38k, but it submitted trades of only 0.01 lots...

Hello artic118,

It seems that there may be a small bug with the risk % lot size calculations. I'll get it fixed and upload it. In the mean time use fixed lot. Cheers.
