In the New York Box I get an error "invalid point number 155 for ObjectMove function". Also for 154 and 153. What could be the problem?
Can you be a lot more detailed my friend. What indicators are you using or trying to use?

You should send a pm to the person with your concern with indicator installation errors.

thanks

Thanks for your answer! The error shows up in the Expert tag of MetaTrader when I use the New York Box indicator. I do not use any other indicator together with it. Complete error message is:

NewYorkBox EURJPY, M15: invalid point number 155 for ObjectMove function

I am now guessing that the problem could be related to broker FXPro having 5 digits instead of 4 .........

Here's an idea that might have some merit...

With the original system, the pairs that seem to work best are ones that have one currency is the US Dollar with the US open. My thought was, will that work with the Euro and the European open?

Using the same rules and using GMT hours 05:00 to 07:15, I want to see if there are any possibilities using the Euro pairs and possibly far east currencies pairs. A visual inspection looked promising.

All I am trying to grab (scalp) is 10 - 15 pips off of a pair. I am sleeping so I don't want to get too crazy with the orders. The one variation to the rules is that since I am scalping, I am not as concerned with the trend. If there is a clear 1hr - 4hr trend in progress, then I will only take enter that side of the pending order. If there is no clear, obvious trend, I will use the high/low straddle.

Last night I was 4 for 4 with the 5th order currently - 21 pips.

Winners - EURCHF AUDJPY EURJPY EURUSD

Pending - EURGBP -21pips

Those are the only pairs I traded last night. I will continue experimenting with stops.

Please, I am open for any comments...

I am not sure where your from so I can't comment on your time frame... but one thing I do know is that your times are off. This is a two hour box, not a two hour and 15 minute box. Original times..using NY times are from 07:00 am to 09:00 am, not 09:15. I hope that this helps.

Also if you traded last night, your not using the Big Dog system.. your using one you came up with.

Regarding the times, I think people are getting confused between the 9:00 and 9:15 times.

The only reason 9:15 is mentioned is because in order to see the end of the 9:00 bar on a 15M chart you need to wait until it is closed at 9:15.

I hope this clarifies this issue.

Hey Ronald,
I tossed your EA on a demo account on EU only, and I guess I don't really understand what it's supposed to do. Can it be used with this system?
There aren't many settings, so I assume if it indeed works the way this system needs it to, then I have the time settings wrong.
I set it to my chart and chose 14:00 for start time, and 16:15 for end time (as I use fxdd and it has a 2 hr gmt differential).
I assumed (yes I know what they say about assume) that it would get the hi-lo from the start end time settings, then take the trade as this system requires. But it ended up taking about 10 trades yesterday, throughout the day, and none of them were anywhere near the hi-lo+breakout buffer.
If you have a manual or can enlighten me it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks!
The EA is supposed to look back into the chart history for the specific Bars. Once it finds the bars, it then determines the high and low of that range and post them in the comments field of the chart. (Upper left corner). What did the comments say?

Sorry, CTGuy, but you are mistaken. You are looking at a two hour and 15 minute period. In the charts you posted, there are 9 bars in play at 15 minutes each. The 9th bar ends at 9:15 ET. That's a total of 2:15.

Prices are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

Hello,

I was just about to post about the same topic...IF the box is between 7am-9am est..THEN the box will start with the 11gmt (7am) candle and end with the 12:45gmt (8:45am) candle. I use ODL. (00:00gmt = 8pm est). I hope that we can clear this issue once and for all.

Thanks

So am I the only person to get taken in south on cable and get stopped out?
Or did others find a reason not to take the trade again?

Where do you have your stop set? I think CTGuy said he uses a stop of 15 pips. Price hit the top of the box @ 1.7637 which would have taken you out there too.

Can someone please post there charts as I cannot see a trade on the cable.

Also what sort of MM you guys using for this, as I have not heard anything, 3%, fixed lots, etc?!?!
