Here are the IBFX results for today:

EUR/USD = BuyStops activated
Order #1 = +15 Pips
Order #2 = Broke Even
Order #3 = Broke Even

USD/JPY = BuyStops activated
Order #1 = +15 Pips
Order #2 = Broke Even
Order #3 = Broke Even

EUR/JPY = BuyStops activated
Order #1 = +15 Pips
Order #2 = Broke Even
Order #3 = Broke Even

Total: +45 Pips / +$41.20

Please Note that I run the expert with set lots of .10 on a standard account for test purposes. I also run a separate expert for each pair with the EAMagicNo changed for each pair. This is just my way of doing it. It is a very complicated expert and some have stated that it is not opening the correct amount of pending orders while using the same expert on all pairs at the same time.

Thanks for compliments

I would like to close by saying that if Pr1mer does not want anyone altering his/her programming, please let me know and I will not post any changes again. His/her programming knowledge is far superior to mine and I would not want to offend him/her in any way.

I hope that my input is helpful.
Actually, I'm really glad that someone finally took a look into my code, hope it's not too messy

Generally, I'd like to maintain one version of this EA not to confuse readers of this thread. However in case of different brokes I don't know if it's possible. These differences give me headache. I have to look how others solve this problem. I know it may be complicated for some people here with time zone shifts, but I don't know any other (simpler) sollution.

Thanks for your input PipHunter196

There's no need to change magic number for EA running on multiple pairs. This problem has been solved in this version (according to my tests). If something is wrong, write me.

Thanks for your kind words Pr1mer. I agree that there is a need to keep the versions of this expert to a minimum. As far as your code goes, it is fantastic! It has actually taught me a couple of things about programming in MQL. Thanks for the lession.

As far as the EAMagicNo, and running separate experts for each pair, that is just my way of doing testing. I have found that the problem is not in the coding of the experts that run on multiple pairs, but it must be some problem within MT4 itself and the handling of the experts. I have had several experts that have had the same problem with handling orders while running on multiple pairs. It is definitely not a problem with your programming. This is just my way of getting around the problem.

Here is hoping we have another Pipfull day tomorrow.

Comment: The EA worked well in calculating orders for all charts it is attached to. Here's hoping the efficiency continues.
Looking forward to some strong trends to see how the trailing stop works.

First I would like to say that this is a great thread. It has taken me a couple of days to digest all of the information and come to grips with the logic of this system. I would also like to say that Pr1mer is one of the best programmers I have ever met in one of these forums.

Having said that I would like to offer the following. I only use IBFX for my demo trading and have had a lot of experience with them.

If you are using IBFX you will need to set your DayStartHour to 21.The IBFX demo server is currently on EST+4 hours.

The second problem with IBFX is that they do not start their trading day on Sunday until 18:00 EST. Using the Expert for this system will not generate any trades for the Sunday/Monday session since it is set to put in the orders at 17:00EST. I have made a change to the expert to take this into account.

Also, when using IBFX, you will only look back 16 bars for the Sunday/Monday session buystop and sellstop orders since there is an hour missing with their 16:00 EST close on Friday and their 18:00 EST open on Sunday.
I have altered the expert to take this into account as well.

Please be advised that the expert that I have attached is the .04 current version of Pr1mer's expert with changes that only work with IBFX. It must be attached to your chart and active Sunday @ 18:00 EST - 18:59 EST to get the first days trades set.

I would like to close by saying that if Pr1mer does not want anyone altering his/her programming, please let me know and I will not post any changes again. His/her programming knowledge is far superior to mine and I would not want to offend him/her in any way.

I hope that my input is helpful.

Tuttler,

I will help If I can. I need to know what time it shows on your charts when the last 1H candle is formed on Friday and when the first 1H candle is formed Sunday Night or Monday Morning. Be advised, I NEED THE TIME IT SHOWS AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR MT4 CHART ALONG WITH WHAT THE DIFFERENCE OF YOUR BROKERS SERVER TIME IS FROM EST.
With this information I Should be able to adjust the program to help you.

I am assuming that your brokers server time is +6 hours from EST. Let me know if my assumption is correct.

I just found this thread and have a couple of questions that I wanted some clarification on. Is everyone using the original 17 hours from the close of the 5pm NY close candle or are we using the entire previous day from 5:01pm to 4:59 pm est time NY session close the next day. I do not trade with a broker that supports metatrader and have to enter trades without the aide of the EA. Many thanks.

This is my second day of testing new EA i have a problem, i guess you missed my other post... it bought USD/CHF twice, so instead of 6 orders i got 12!!!
So, i thought that it did that cuz i dragged the ea to the chart and i did not delete the old one, so i closed the account, deleted all old ea's and started fresh, and the result did not change, still double on that only pair. Could you see whats wrong?

This indicator can help determine what your broker time is.

Primer, you have another PM.

Hi,

I've read through this thread and noticed that the original strategy suggested trading more pairs. Is the decision to trade the 3 above based on the correlation of the various other pairs or is the decision based on the levels of volatility in those markets?

Was just wondering as CAD seems to move independently of other influences so might make a tidy profit without being too correlated to the other instruments.

Any thoughts?

Hi Ted1983,

Welcome to the forum!

Other pairs are being tested by other thread members, but as of yet I have not seen any results posted. I personally am sticking to the 3 original pairs that Mikelath came up with.

Maybe you could test the CAD an give us some results.

Have a Pipfull Day
