Time of Day trade

  • #1

Just wondering if anyone has an EA that will open a trade at a certain time of day and close it at another time of day? Seems to be a really hard EA to make. All the ones I've come across don't work right
Thanks

depends on the specific time I guess. Are you working down to the second?

No, just Hour and Minute with maybe a 1+/- minute variance because of how IBFX demo account can skip a bunch of seconds in its Market Watch time.

I'll test it thanks. So extern int TradeLong = False; set to true will open long and set to false opens short correct?
Thanks

Tried it on USD/CHF M15 and it didn't seem to open the trade

I enabled EachTickMode and is working now. Thank you

Just trying an method, I read a thread of some guys talking about the "No Brainer" theory that just plays container currencies against one another and just makes steady profits http://trendchaser.org/forum/phpBB3/...on_e_smile.gif

BUY the following pairs at NY close and selling 24 hours later, day-after-day (may need to test best time to open);
EURUSD
GBPUSD
USDCHF
USDJPY

Sometime during the next trading day, your account will show a profit. Close all trades, bank the profit and start again, this is simply a dollar hedge but has prove'n to make constant profits http://trendchaser.org/forum/phpBB3/...on_e_smile.gif
Maybe stay away from big news days but should work fine.

Nope, I think post #10 sums it up

Ralph, can you add an option to not Open any trades on Friday, please.
No point in opening trades just when the market is closing for the weekend

Thanks
