Good afternoon Mr. SwingMan from Spain,
This is why you are writing to thank you for the indicators (TradeOutsideTheBox v7.2.1) (3 Tier London Breakout V.3.3c-GMT),
that leaden in the previous page (ForexFactory), which by the way I have seen interesting,
I also appreciate that it is in (Mql4) format, since it allows me to translate the information it indicates in my language, which is Spanish, since I don't know English,
And for the translation I have used the (Google Translate) I also put the two indicators in case anyone wants in Spanish,
SwingMan thank you for your contributions a greeting from luifd… ..

{quote} Hi Jado911, Thanks for update. Could you take a look at my settings please.. Having trouble getting the ea to take trades today. Not sure if its my settings or ea issue. No ea log errors or journal report issues. account is demo, ECN, IC Markets Thanks, {image}
Doe is open position in back testing? anyone else have the same issue?

change pct out box to be >0. if it is set to 0 you are telling the EA to open a trade if the bar opens exactly at the box.

Lovely, thank you, missed that completely !

Also, could you explain please, if we want risk at 1% do we need to put in 0.01 in percentage field ? if i place 1.0% its opening 7+ lots.
Also is it based on account balance or equity ?

Thanks again.

1% risk is entered as 0.01 , lot size will be determined based on the box size
1% risk on $1,000 is 10$ but again the EA does not exit a losing trade unless a bar closes on the opposite side so the loss will be more than 10$

Not sure the ea is calculating the lots size correctly compared to indicator. Indicator has my account balance placed in settings, shows 1% at 0.10 and ea settings percentage set at 0.01 and its took trade at 0.05

I'm sure you can figure out how to reduce that, let us know it the EA preformed and I'll take a look when I get a chance.

EA Took to rouge trades today, one on gbpusd and one on gbpjpy

No idea why, all settings can be seen on picture and magic numbers are different for all pairs. trades occurred outside of set hrs.

I closed manually.

hope this helps you find the bug.
thx.

TOTB is an interesting trading system. I'm not sure how to use it. Is there a manual for it or can someone explain how to use?

interesting observation,
Only looked at a few pairs but the success rate of when the price hits tp1 that it will go on to tp2 is very high.

Wonder if a modified ea exactly the same but opening at tp1 with target of tp2 might be worth considering. Have not had time to go right into this yet so if someone else could take a look as well and see if it has any legs.
That using a box that starts at 1hr before Frankfurt.

Hello Jado911,
Thanks for the update. You can improve the risk calculation settings based on V10. The existing risk function function settings are not what I want. I hope to add a comment function to facilitate the simulation test statistics.

Thank you
Cheers brothers

hi
thank you for all.
I have a question ? as I understand that we have to count 2 hrs before Asian close(6 GMT)and 2 hrs after London open (London open at 7 GMT and that make the 2 hrs is 9 GMT) so from 6:01 to 8:59 GMT that's make the total of 3 hrs
is that right or I have to count from 6:01 GMT to 8:59 GMT

2hrs of Asian close and 2hrs of London open on your time zone.
