Doubt it, but in the absence of any information, I have no idea why there are no trades.
I have been testing along quietly for several weeks, and not 1 trade (with any version) - in any TF (M15 - D1) on FXDD.
I have combed through the Properties several times, and followed the set suggestions here and there. Nada.
But I am 'looking forward'! and appreciate very much the work here by Steve and community.
Ron

Ron,
Yes, sahars was kind enough to show me that my indicator was screwed up on my 4h testing. I deleted them all, replaced them and it's chugging along now.
My 5min is still going too, but it's not going well

Steve I had a question re the close all orders scripts. They all seem identical is there a reason to have so many of them?
Also I set one script to close all at profit to a hot key but is there a way to hardcode the allow live trading as well so I can just run the hotkeys and let it rip?
Let me know.

Timing has a lot to do with the EA's ability to take trades.
For example, set it loose during a period when not much is happening in the markets and it will have trouble taking trades.
On the other hand, if my EA takes trades on Monday, then on Tuesday it might take nothing because it is waiting out the period after taking them. Someone else setting the EA up on the Tuesday might find it taking a shed-load of trades.

I am delighted that people here are experimenting with lower tf's. Frankly, I also think they are wasting their time.
This EA represents a Daily Cross strategy. A cross here represents a huge currency movement; the momentum behind this cross will take some reversing.
I think Sahar's method of scalping the 4H has legs and am trading this live with success today.
Sahar's method does represent scalping when the tf involved is considered. It is good fun and great when it works; I love it.
I also reckon it represents the extreme that we can hope to trade successfully. Go below this tf and I bet you anything you like that chop will kill the trades, later if not sooner.
This EA is designed to trade a Daily strategy, folks. This means medium-term trades that may last for a week or more. A successful one will net hundreds of pips.
'Tis up to you guys whether you carry on with your lower tf experiments. I have been a contributor to KG's thread since fairly early on in its existance (feels like a lifetime ago) and can tell you this: KG identified the strength of the Daily Cross and I have written the EA that automates his trading method. Use it for any other purpose and you not using it as originally intended.
And finally: I (usually but not always) test each version before releasing it, on M1, M5 and M15 tf's to speed up the execution of the routines. Very occasionally these tests result in profits but these are rare occasions. Mostly, they result in huge losses.
Anybody wondering what I am wittering about needs to do some reading. Details in the first post.

Hello Everyone....
Nothing to report here today on the Monthly, Weekly test. No trades, no pending.
Although, on the Monthly chart at the bottom, I have seen the following all day:
Validating these crosses (lower TF 10080;1440;240;60):
USDJPY Long 10080 1440 240 60 (Stochastic=27.3183)(Spread=3)
This does not appear on the Weekly one.
Vince
Have you read my post no 272, where I talk about your M1 and W1 test?

Steve,
I think I have to agree
The 5min timeframe is losing money now, so I might stick to testing the h4 and daily. Haven't heard back yet from those testing the m15, m30 and h1.
