Hey skyline, could you post the changed lines of code for g?
The reason I ask is I have made a version from F that is entirely based on ATR percentages and i dont want to redo the whole thing or try and find your changes amongst everything. Post the code, I will change mine, then post an ATR Version to play with.

Also have you thought about a BE and trail. I have this in my version but BE becomes the SAR, and it seems to work out fine, but it counts as a loss trade, and the trail is also a SAR and it doesnt work well and kills the account. I cant figure out how to do this the way it is coded. When the trail is hit it counts as the SAR and a loss and it should just be a profit. Somehow I think it would be possible with get history, but I cant figure it out.


Bah, couldnt wait, here is what I have seen, tell me if I missed anything....
PHP Code
static bool FirstOrderDone = false; // Indica se il primo ordine alle 00 GMT è stato effettuato
Added
PHP Code
FirstOrderDone = false;
Changed this
PHP Code
Minute()<=1 && DayOfWeek()>=1 && DayOfWeek()<=5 )
to this

PHP Code
DayOfWeek()>=1 && DayOfWeek()<=5 ) 
   {

Added these to Controlla sl for buy and sell
else
FirstOrderDone = true;

And 2 more else after that.

Thank Skyline for the EA! Working well.
Skyline, do you think you can add features to allow for additional profit taking at different levels? for eg. if the lot allowed in trade is 0.3 lots, allow for 0.1 lot to profit take at say 50 pips, the second level at 100 and the final level at 200. The same will apply for auto trade reversal.

Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks

Yes CEO basically I added variable FirstOrderDone to control flow through first order opened at 00 GMT.
Anyway I will introduce the ATR in next release.

Is the EA a plugin that can work on any Trading Platform ?

I currently have an IG Index account, but have yet tried the EA.

Thanks in advance.

EA's will only work with MT4 ( metaquotes software programme) based platforms such as IBFX and FXDD in the US..

Hi, I am trying this EA first time...
Last night It entered the first trade on GBP/CHF...short 2.3492...today it hit SL at 2.3532...
I wonder why it didn't enter the reversal order...
Maybe I got some setting wrong...I set the EA according to post #1
Maxlossestradeperday = 3
Am I doing something wrong?

Appreciate any help...

Regards

Hi Toti, it's difficult to analyze what happened to your plaftorm.
May be if you will post your expert and journal tab , it's more easy to see if there was some errors.

So, I understand I have to attached the EA to 1H TF and if I want to take a look a different TF I need to open a new chart...right?

This has been a rough week so far for me and this system. Maybe tomorrow will be good and then I can end the week with some positive pips.

Why is timeframe 1 hour. I thought this was a daily EA. Plus, looking at the code, it uses the daily timeframe. Maybe I missed something.

Also, I've only been running the EA for a few days. What has been the experience so far? Profitable?

Very tough week compared to previous weeks - I was wondering how the tk daily system would cope with choppy markets and have now found out! That is not to fault the EA which is working flawlessly but more the system which needs some sort of filter to avoid multiple stops...perhaps the next EA should focus on a trending system...even so today is the only day this week which would have resulted in a real loss IF every trade had been taken as per original tk guidlines -all the other days have -eventually- produced a decent amount of pips...
