Hello SteveHopwood

i have question.. how you can run this script on ifx broker, as i know ifx its not MT4.
Ehup MaXey

I had not realised the script does not run on a live account as it runs fine on a demo. I just tried it on my live account and just got a 'This software has expired' message.

By the way, I had the choice of downloading MT3 or MT4 when I opened my IFX account just over a month ago.

Hehe. You finally managed to pin me down to the right one. I type ibfx every other time I say who my broker is, so I have no idea why I went wrong here. Just one of those things, I suppose.

I did indeed mean IBFX.

Have downloaded the LATEST version from page #1 of this thread? If you have an older version it will state "EXPIRED". The new version is shareware and will only allow up to 5 mini lots max trades.

Also as for the Time issue of trying to set the script in the last hour before the trade... You do have to set it as GMT within the last hour. Any other time local time will work. Same thing happened to me again last night waiting for the A/U news to come out. I loaded the script with about 4 min to go, and it showed up 1 day and 4 min to go. Had to hurrrly delete and re-add the script w/ correct GMT time.....Made $95.

A bucket-load of thanks for that, jimbo61. I had downloaded the latest version this morning and saved it in my WSS-dedicated folder. I thought I had then copied it into my live account as well as my demo, but it turns out I had not. It is working fine now.

I did think it strange that such a brilliant script as BurgerStraddle was not working on my live account, but it would have been a while before I found out what I had done wrong.

Today I was very busy so I just set the straddle and go away, but i still made +39 in AUD CPI and +10 in US consumer confidence news. This straddle really works very good.


Thank you very much Burger King

Well, so far not a good day. I am 1 for 2.
The EUR/$ play on the German Ifo Business Climate Index release did not move much.
JUst enough to get triggered and only brok-even before I killed it manually.
The next one.. UK GDP...pretty much the same thing. I thought it would be more irratic before the release but was not. I had my entrys set at 10 pips away. They got triggered and headed south. It only came back close to B/E one time, but then went south again My 30 pip SL was hit.. Out with a $105 loss. Hope the Durable goods and the New home sales are a better to.

Same here, except that I leave a 10 pip sl.

Out of interest, if you don't mind me asking, how long do you leave your SecDeleteOrder? Ignore this if I am being nosy. 15 seems too short sometimes, so I have mine at 25.

Good luck with the US release in a few minutes.

Depending on the news, from my experience entry at 10 pips away from price is sometimes too far. It's certainly too far away for german IFO news which is not a big market mover and even for UK GDP. Just look at the charts that BK post for each announcement and work out from the number of pips it normally moves the market and then set entry closer accordingly. It also depends how fast your broker server is to adjust entry price. That's just my personal experience and as usual there are no guarantees.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone trade the NZD Interest Rate? If so, how did you do?

MT4 on my computer really suddenly stopped receiving updates 15 seconds before the news and didn't execute my trade (although it strangely never said I was disconnected). It looks like I would have gotten pretty badly whipsawed though, so that worked out to my advantage in the end.

My Mt4 froze because my email "the bat" also wanted to fetch emails..

i got executed and then whipsawed ..but then entered on the retrace with same lottage and sit by a nice +29pips now...

hope NZD Trade balance will keep that going altough i allready protected 15pips with SL!
Hope next trade u will be a winner again

I was going to but had spent most of today awaiting news results that promised much but delivered nothing. I was out tonight (UK) and arrived home in time to trade the NZD but just could not face another period waiting.

Hey ho. Tomorrow is another day, full of the prospect of pips.
