Hi,

Thanks for a great EA i am just about to test it when i noticed in the top right hand corner of the chart that it says (valid untill 2007.03.31) does this mean we have to pay for it after that date??

Cheers

Hey Burgerking, If I were you and worried about someone selling this on ebay, in addition to the expiration date, I would put in bold type on the chart something like If you paid for this script it is stolen. and then maybe put a link to where it is a vailable for free.

You could either print it on the chart or use the extern string and put it in the input section...

mmm I just tried to test this with micro lots on the 9.30 report on cable but It didnt open any orders at all??

I set the spread to a max of 10 pips so i dont think it was that.

I didnt get any error messages.

Any help would be great

Thankyou

I hope you all made pips on that UK news if you did not because of wrong settings, then lets discuss it.

It would be a pain if this script were not used profitably seeing how many months i spent observing brokers, toying with MT4 functions, discovering tricks and putting features for straddling.

BK, I wanted to demo trade it before getting the grip of it.
Originally, I had also put it on the G/Y pair as well, but since I was trading live at another platform, I could not read the messages. Maybe the spread was the reason.

The only thing I changes was the time (from 12:30 to 9:30). As you see, it worked just fine. Thanks for this precious gem. I'll start live trading it next week and let you know.

I hope you still remember the numbers you set. Specifically:
NewsTime
SecStartOrder
SecModifyOrder
SecDeleteOrder

These are the most important of them all.

Please also check the Experts tab and see if it loaded and/or exited.

If it did not work because of suspected Spread Widening, it would be recorded in the "Experts" tab.

By default BurgerStraddleScript will check your inputted MaximumSpread valu by doing the following:
if (MaximumSpread < StopLoss) MaximumSpread = StopLoss - 1;
if (MaximumSpread < Spread) MaximumSpread = Spread;
This will ensure that it will run with the smallest allowable MaximumSpread to barely run the script; but should broker widens the spread after this check, then it will abort and record the reason in the "Experts" tab. But of course you can specify at the start your tolerated spread and script will not bring it down. You can verify this on the screen where MaximumSpread is displayed.

Hi,

these are the settings i used

NewsTime 9.30
SecStartOrder 60
SecModifyOrder 20
SecDeleteOrder 300

On my experts tab it says the following when the script was attached.

2007.03.22 09:22:42 Burger Straddle Script GBPUSDm,M5 inputs: ScriptName="Burger Straddle Script v3b"; ScriptURL="http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=250561"; _comment1="Set 1 "; BuyLot1=0.1; SellLot1=0.1; StopLoss1=10; TakeProfit1=50; TrailingStop1=20; _comment2="Set 2 "; BuyLot2=0; SellLot2=0; StopLoss2=5; TakeProfit2=10; TrailingStop2=15; _comment3="===== Price Distances ====="; MinDistance=5; OrdDistance=5; MaxDistance=5; MaximumSpread=5; _comment4="===== Time in GMT+0 ====="; NewsTime="9.30"; SecStartOrder=60; S


Do i have to have my experts ON for it to work? I thought not because it was a script?

Thanks

Hi BK,

I'm not the kind of guy who normally trades the news, but am always open to try something new. I'm impressed by your EA and am going to test (keep track of) it the next couple of weeks.

Regards, Dariuske.

PS: it worked just fine with the GBP news this morning.

2 position from yesterday FOMC and UK news just now...total profit 870usd..live account

thx a lot BK for the wonderfull script

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/2206/bkscriptow2.jpg

anyway i used the second script posted ..DLL tick and all those settings tick but still need to use the GMT 0 time instead of local computer time.

basically its not a problem for me to convert the time but do i miss something ere?

anyway agree will smjones
instead of u need to post every month here for the expired script why dont u just simply create a text embedded on the chart where the script is attached with the link and stuff...

so people who used it will now the origin of the script...

anyway thx again BK

NewsTime="9.30"

means 2009.06.12 00:00:00

This is the reason why it did not trade the news.

Be exact; use : for time; use . for date

You dont need to enable EA; this is a script and is active the moment you click OK. Of course you need "Enable Live Trading".

On my computer, I also use GMT+0 without problem. However, the OLD version will get you problem trading AUD news; during AUD news, GMT+0 would change date and MT4 has problem with it.

The new version ensure no problem of this.

BK if u want to sell it...put me on your customer list

basically im a news trader straddle is my only way to trade the news...but i like the function that it correct the straddle value every time the price move before the news trigger which keep me on the safe distance from the bid/ask price,,,

if u modified it manually it would be quite troublesome coz of the execution time and need to do it one by one

thx again BK
