Then wait again for the nex day same time 30 min before London OPen reattached EA again. Close only after reaching 500 or it is weekend closing. Keep it open if total is less than 500.

Clarification please, T101:

1. Remove/reattach: Do you mean pressing the Expert Advisor button on top and set the smilies off/on? This is a one action operation and preferred. Or do you mean to actually remove EA from all the 13 pairs and reattach to all 13 pairs again? It's a hassle but will do so, if this is a must.

2. Close on weekend all the time?

Thanks, RS

Hello Trader,

thanks for sharing your EA. The results are fantastic!
I have the Ultimate Trader (3m) set up for next week's trading.
But I need to know one thing.
I am trading with TradeView which has the 3 decimals.
I am using the (3m) EA; do I leave the lot input at 1.0
if I want to trade micro lots?
Usually I would use the input 0.01

Thanks again

Regards

If the span of time between closing and its reopening is at least 10 hours its ok to just turn it off. Enough time to let the current trend finish. If less than
10 hours. It must be reattached in order to to allow EA to gather new data and to reset its variable. You dont have to removed just redrag the EA over the EA. Yes thats what we do close weekend trades. Not good to keep trades open on weekends.

It will not work well in a 5 digit price. It will screwed up the SL and TP settings. It will close trades early it can also open trades early. I might blew your account early too. LOL.. Since you are only testing why dont you open a regular 4 digit price brokers??

I will not trade on Sunday and Monday. I will start trading the EA at the Asian OPen Monday (that is monday night New York) Becaude of the Japanese Holiday on Sunday and Monday and also UK Holiday on Monday. I think there will be no volatility on those times mentioned. Our EA works well when there is volatility. But again i could be wrong.

10 hours in between smilies off and on. If less, off, drag EA over, and then on. Close on weekend. - OK

Tuesday is a holiday too here in Japan... what do you do? Well fx will get active Tueday despite this I suppose, globally speaking.

One thing you must avoid is to travel to Japan the last week of April and the first week of May. Series of holidays. All the hotels, transportation, sightseeing spots, are packed with people 200% seat occupancy. Remember a retired couple from US, my friend, just hit this No, No time, came in with full smile but left with ...., too bad but it's the US travel agent who should be blamed.

Well, enjoy the rest of the weekend, all. RS

Trader Can i use the "close all-pl" ea to help close all
trades when 500$ is achieved, or this will conflict with your ea´s.

If anybody is interested the Close all-pl is attached.
Just open a new chart, attach the ea to the chart and define the
value you want the ea to close all positions.

Beside the 13 or 14 charts you use for trader ea´s, open a new chart (ex: Eur/Usd) and attach the Close all-pl ea to it.

Yeah then it will open a new trades immediately. Since my EA was not design that way, and if you want it to function like that, you have to this manually. First your trades profit reaches your desired goal. Clik the EA button to off(red). there is a closeall script on the scripts folder... Drag that script to one of the chart and it will start closing all the trades. And it will not trade again until you turn that EA button on again (Green)
