Hi Toothman

So, the Secdeleteorder is referring to the time it takes to activate the delete actions on both orders? Any recommendation on Secdeleteorder?

Thanks!

This is dependent on what you THINK when the news will pop up.

1. If you think news is always on time, then 10~15 will do. *of course assuming your time is sync.

2. If you think news is always delayed (like iin the case of NZD news), then you can still have 10~15 seconds - BUT adjust the NewsTime to be a few seconds later... OR extend secdeleteorder to 20~30...

I reiterate, MAKE SURE your computer is sync to a world timer to the very second!

My orders were always getting cancelled until I increased the time on SecDeleteorder. 15 seconds isn't very long for an order to kick in if price moves too slowly.
I dont think so.. In my experience, prices always move within 5-10 seconds. IF it does not touch my entry prices immediately, and I hesitated further to delete em, im going to loose money on it.

If it moves slowly for you, either:
1) you have your entries too far such that, of course it would take more than 15 secodns to get there.

2) your time is not sync with the world time.

3) you are trading a news that is know to be delivered late.

4) or plain the news suck!

Again I repeat, I alway have SecDeleteOrder = 15; I really dont adjust this And I make sure my clock is always sync 5 mins before the news.

Do you want NewsTime to be in
GMT
or
Your Local Time?

Some people are having difficulty converting time into GMT so i am giving you all chance to choose time in GMT or Your Local Time?

I would find it great if it was in my Local Time.

If it's not too much trouble, I too would prefer local times.

Although converting to GMT is no problem, it makes it easier, since I have my local time setting at the FF calendar and I can only tell by taking a glance.

It's better to stick to a standard guys. GMT is exactly that, so I suggest we leave it as GMT.

However, maybe BurgerK can have two time entries: EITHER GMT: (insert gmt time here) OR LOCAL: (insert local time here).

Where the user makes sure they select one. Then the script will act according to the one entered. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how hard that is to implement. Anyway, just an idea. But I think a world standard (specifically GMT) is important.

GMT seems much more professional...even though i'm on the west coast of the US, i have my computer clock set to GMT. I do this for a handful of reasons one being if i get used to thinking of "Time" in GMT, i can trade from anywhere in the world and it will make sense to those i'm talking with and planning my calendar. I also use something called "ZoneTick" that places all the below on my task bar:

So no mater what my computer is set at i can figure out what is going on around the world as far as time is concerned.

Thanks BK.
I actually put this script in two cable windows.
One I set to conservative small (sure) TP 15 pips but bigger position and the other one I kinda left open TP (put big TP) and made a positition smaller and closed it manually when there was no followthrough.
Any thoughts are welcome.

BK,

I tried this report on the UK GDP, but like 1 second before release, both orders were deleted. Weird. I think this is because I changed the "trailingtime" to zero seconds. I *presumed* it meant how many seconds you want the trailing stop to kick in. I know you said the TS doesn't work properly, but I had that setting saved in my preset from a couple of days back. Any ideas why the orders got deleted?

BK,
Great script.
I actually loaded this onto the GBP/$ for this morning 7:30 GMT news even too.
I watched it do it's "Majic" right up to the point it "ABORTED"...Spread too wide.
Luckly I have a fast connection and I entered it manually and caught 70% of the dip.
I needed to widen the Max Spread setting to correct this problem. It was set to the default of 5.
I reloaded it on the EUR/$ for the 11:30 GMT news event and widen the Max Spread to 6 on the EUR/$ (normally 2 pips).
Thanks again for the hard work you put into it.
Let see how it does on the next run.

Hey guys,

might be an idea when we're posting results to state if you're on demo or live. There's a huge difference in execution and frankly demo results are meaningless (I've been guilty of this too).

If live, mention which broker you're using (problems or perfection) - it'll really help the community.

Cheers

I've noticed that, if for example, the time for news has come, and the orders haven't been executed yet, and you go and delete one of the orders manually, then the other order automatically gets deleted as well.

Is this how it's supposed to be?

What you experienced is called OCO.. One order filled/removed/closed, the other is cancelled as well.

IF you disabled OCO, this wont happen.

SecDeleteOrder = 1800

If nothing happened within 30 minutes, it will delete it. Likewise, you have the option to jump ship by deleting that Yellow Clock!

SecDeleteOrder = 0
It will exit the moment NewsTime elapsed. It wont Trail though.

So my recommendation is the 1st one with a large number.
