Yup, this is the magnitude of results. I wouldn't risk 7% on this, but it's a personal issue of each trader.

I keep receiving strange results in my backtesting with the EA, maybe someone could try to figure out, what's going on? SL's suddenly change to the opening price levels, and positions are closed with zero profits regardless of the actual price at this time. This happens only with long, not short, positions. Look at order #1 in the attached report (I'm using a GMT+2 platform).
At 06:00 of 2006/07/03 two stop orders were correctly placed: buy @211.86 & sell @210.78
At 12:14 the buy was correctly triggered and the sell deleted.
At 23:00, for some mysterious reason, the SL was modified to the opening price of 211.86.
At 23:02, when the actual price was around 211.24 (!), according to the backtesting report the position was closed @211.86 with a profit of $7.33. This profit is not a result of swap, as swap is paid out one hour later, with the end of NY session, which is at 00:00 on my platform.


A similar thing happened with order #7 of 07/10: at 03:26 next day the SL was modified to the opening price of 210.92 and the position was immediately closed for a profit of $7.58.


Am I doing something wrong or there could be a bug in the EA?

Saaedb, I guess you're referring to this:

Quoting saaedb
If the order goes into the next day and the trade in profit, the EA will set the STOP LOSS to break even and open new orders from the current day
In the example I brought, and in numerous other cases, the EA set the SL to BE when the trade was in loss, and the profit was immediately set to BE, whereas in reality this couldn't have happened. As I said, this happens only with long positions, the short ones go according to your description.

These are the results I've got thus far. Going to get the Alpari data and run it on that. The darn back test took for ever. (I've made alot of changes). And I'm using my laptop these days and I'm not a big laptop fan....

If I dont get anything form this testing at least I've figured out why some people in here get the 131 error.
When I'm done, I'll strip the added funcationality and post the EA to take care of the few people still having issues when they set the MoneyManagement to true and get the 131 error msg.

Saaedb (and Gerrigirl): I have set my EA to 'True' for 'AllowLimitOrders' as suggested by Saaedb, and last night the GY went through for 100 pips and did not trigger another trade. Thanks.

I have had a problem with EJ on IBFX, as it will not initiate the Stop Buy and Sell. It states that 'Range is too large'. I have Max Range set at 125 and the range yesterday was only 86 pips! I missed a 40 pip move. My demo at ODL worked fine using the same settings! GU triggered and worked fine - I made 40 pips. Strange??? http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon5.gif

I will reload the EA to see if that helps. Range was set 21 to 4 (2100 - 0459 GMT) on the EA and True for trading Mondays. Anyone else with the EJ Prob??

I finally went through and updated the graphics to agree with the new settings on the EA as posted by Saaedb as V2 on Post 2230, which is the latest to date. I have left it as a WORD Doc so members may modify it so suit their particular requirements.

The only thing I am not absolutely sure about is when trading the EURJPY and GBPUSD - does the GMT Start and End Range change with London Time? I have shown it as doing so. Saaedb - please advise.

I know that Saaedb is looking at another update, assumedly V3, at which time I will incorporate his mods.

I did have problems on the EJ range to large, so I increased the range last week, I will go back and check my trades later tonight. I had ea turned off on sunday so I didn't trade live. My range for ej was 125
