On my platform, the order is called an entry stop. I'm guessing the price was skipped through. I understand that with big news events, sometimes a gap is created. But, nobody else seems to have had that problem last night.

Quoting brick911DislikedNah - Interbankgroup... not Interbankfx. I need a broker without a dealing desk maybe. Maybe I'm just a newbie and don't know what the hell I'm talking about.Ignored
Quoting MarkjDislikedFunbot,
I appreciate your efforts with EA. As IIambert has said when there seems to be quite a lot of discrepancy in results when compared to manual backtesting. I campared results from start of October until current and a lot of the EA results do not compare correctly. Anyway as An example I have taken on of the days and inserted the chart. The EA calculated only 1 and 2 profit when manually testing it should be taking profit 1 x 2, profit 2 x 2 and profit 3 x 1.
I will be out for a few days but will take a look at the code and see if I can spot any problems.
CheersIgnored
Quoting funbotDislikedAlright I'm having coffee and can address some of the feedback now.
llambert3: I think most of your question is answered with being able to set your BaseTime in the inputs. Whatever hour you specify corresponds to the hour on your terminal's server. For instance, if I use 10 as BaseTime, 10:00am=8:00am London Time in my terminal...Also keep in mind your spread difference. Buys are triggered on Ask price--so for instance if your spread is 5 and your BuyOffset is 20, a buy is triggered at a BID distance of 15 from the baseline for the day. The bars you see painted in the charts are all BID prices. This is one of the reasons why I split all those variables out into inputs.
Markj: Could you please include the dates/times on your charts? That way I can run the EA and physically look at the same chart you are showing and figure out what is happening. If it's easier I only need your explanation and the date.
I ran the EA for October and I don't see the problem you brought up regarding not replacing a buy order after 3 profits are taken. On October 6th I see it did just that. Could you give me a date I can look at?
Thanks again for the comments! I don't mind working on this until it is working according to the plan exactly.Ignored
Quoting GeldschluckerDislikedHave you just seen the amazing spike because of GBPUSD news? Geeze ... ooch ... Do not trade the "London open method" during a GBP news day or you'll get burnt.Ignored
Quoting MandieDislikedI know of a trader that has subscription members. who uses the same method that you people are discussing here. The 0.00 GMT method. Entry prices are a certain piont away from 0.00GMT and stops ect. He uses it with great sucsess, but if there is a loss one day, they double up ( On lots)the next, .. Piont is, there is traders out there using this method on live account with great successIgnored
