I started new fresh demo account with ic-markets and set the ea with allmost default setting. this night at 3.00 the ea will start opening the trades. here is my setting will show the results on friday. I suggest the author of the ea to add trailing step/stop in pips as in the option of lotsize. thx very much.
You can use trailing stop in points or %.

The trailing stop activates when you tell it to. You can set to use it or not in the settings.

Don't pay much attention to the TE as it is running 9 different tests 5 of which are daily tests and there is a lot of experimentation going on with them so the results you see is not indicative of the full results of the EA.

I've been making changes to the EA and settings that is being used for the weekly and daily sets so the TE is not entirely accurate of the EA. Things should pick up in the weeks to come.

Please see attached a new version 1.5!

V1.5. updates:

1. There is now the option to use current or previous candle/bar.
2. The trade day settings were updated so now you can select multiple individual trade days.
3. The time setting were updated and made easier to set and follow.
4. On the info panel the day, week, month, and year totals can be monitored in points or %.

This is now the most current and bug free version until someone picks up something.

As always please test on demo first if you will use this EA. Thanks!

Trade update! Both the 23:00 and 03:00 basket have hit +10% TP.

The 04:00 and 05:00 weekly basket are still in play and not really going anywhere so I'll more than likely close them manually tomorrow.

Just curious, how many pips are the +10%?

Edit: nvm, it's in the TE above I think.

Adding to this post just to be clear on the tests that I'm currently running, this is what I'm testing.

Weekly baskets (H4, D1, W1, MN1) opening at 23:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00.

Daily baskets ( M30, H1, H4, D1, W1) opening at 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00.

These are the configurations I'm currently testing on the TE account you see attached so you can imagine with so many different tests that the TE will be all over the place, but as I remove the poor performing sets and start to fine tune the winning sets it should start to look a lot better. I'm expecting after 3 months to have more solid data on what setting and time works best and to put it to a live trading account.

You guys are welcome to share your tests and results, the more that participate the more data we can collect and find more winning set ups.

{quote} Thanks for the great work you're doing. Allow me to mention one thing: as people are all over the place/world any times given should be stated with reference, i. e. GMT-3 (for example for a lot of Brazil; or whatever your case may be) etc Otherwise they have no meaning whatsoever.
I already covered this in post #537.

{quote} Sorry, I overlooked that: 03:00 and 04:00 are my brokers times as I use broker time for the basket. My broker is GMT +2, so those open times would be 01:00 and 02:00 GMT. So that means: -2 for all times given (referenced to GMT) Weekly baskets (H4, D1, W1, MN1) opening at 23:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00. Daily baskets ( M30, H1, H4, D1, W1) opening at 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00. I'm sure that'll make it easier for readers. Thanks again.
No you are incorrect. Times given are broker time not local time. I only referenced GMT as kefmawin asked about it.

Have you read the whole thread? This topic has been covered already in posts #302, #306 and #315.

There is no need to change how I put the open times all is clearly explained, unless you have not read the thread and just jumping in now.

First of all Thanks mrdfx and others who have been contributing and testing.

I understand that the original weekly basket opens at 3:00 Tuesday broker time, in which Monday Daily D1 Candle has closed and it is then 3 hours into the first Tuesday H4 Candle.

My question is for the weekly basket opening at 23:00; Is his Monday 23:00 or Tuesday 23:00? as Monday 23:00 D1 candle will not have closed but maybe you are looking at Friday D1 and the Last Monday H4?

I was testing the daily trades, and the GBP pairs from yesterday took out most of the profits for this week for me.
