Do we not respect Broker time (as usual isn't it)?
But you are saying computer (local) time into Property fields?
Thx,

Here is something you might be interested in. Several times when I would write an EA, people would forget to change the Magic number and it would not work as expected, so I wrote a dynamic Magic number assigned by the system based on the currency name. If you can use it, here is the code....
For a while, I use a routine that demanded an integer labelled Birthday from the user. I used Birthday * TimeLocal() * AccountBalance() to generate a pseudo-random number that was stored in a global and served as the magic number for the robot. The robot would hang up it hat and go on strike if the user did not enter a Brthday.
As with your method, all well and good, but it turns out that global variables can be lost by the platform before the month is up, so a robot could lose contact with its own trades - this happened to a user of one of my robots, on demo happily. No idea why, but the fact is it did. Bloody infuriating.
This is why I now go down the route of allowing a magic number of 12345 on demo. The robot will insist on a different one if the robot is used live. 'Tis the best I can do for now.

Steve, should i be loading the template prior to loading EA. I have the template and the robot running for basket one but not for the single ... wonder if that could have made the difference.
So long as you have the RS_GROUP indi in your indicators folder, the basket robot will work ok.

Set the basket robot to 80/20. Lower tf is above 80, so waiting for the higher tf to follow.

no
you set the robot OS=20 and OB=80. the robot will then check these figures on higher and lower TF's.
I just cashed in my $15 (on 0.1lot) gain on a $700 live account since i jumped in too early and now closed it. Just set a pending order for 0.2 lots @ 149.90

My individual nzdjpy just moved into profit.
Might not stay there, but it made it for a while.
