I hate sleep. I think Shakespeare was right. It is like death.
Hamlet: "For in this sleep of Death, what dreams may come"

Just keep in mind most Heart Attacks happen when we are asleep.
Remember too that in forex heart attacks occur when the trade goes wrong when you should have been safely sleeping

This is another question about start times...again!

I will ask in terms of my own time-zone, but the principal should apply:

Pacific USA time...

Tokyo (as I understand it) opens at 7 PM Eastern / 4 PM Pacific time.

So setting back 2 hours as instructed for start time would make that
as Sell time at 5 PM Eastern / 2 PM Pacific.

Is this correct, so far?

Then add (is it?) 8 hours (or 9?!) to 5 PM / 2 PM to get the Tokyo closing
BUY times, correct?

*but here's a rub I just noted in setting up for my Pacific example:
2 PM as mentioned...
I think the robot is right. For pst, the robot should spring to live not at 14:00 but at 14:30 according to instruction.

The single trades are kicking in for fun - aud and nzd just added to the list.

Much more of this and I shall treat them as a basket and load the basket trader with their magic number so it can calculate the tp for me.

Please note, everyone, the individual trading robot has none of the sophistication of the basket robot. It was coded back in the Dark Ages - Monday, if I recall accurately.

Doesn't the Oanda site I quoted in post 1 show which times you should be using?

Hi Currymonster,

Is a bit strange, mine is selling cadjpy and nzdjpy. Based on the screenshot attached, the EA should also open audjpy and gbjpy. FYI..I'm using eglobal as my broker.

Cheers

Last word I got is Steve codes to the user's Local time (24 hour clock).

So would not your NYC times be 17 & 1 ?

(7 PM ET at Open Tokyo (19 NYC) for Sells; ... & minus 2 hours = 17)

Plus 8 (or is it 9?) to open Buys?

Regards,

Ron

IBFX server is GMT. Tokyo opens at 24:00 GMT (in about 40 min) ergo I should start to monitor at 22:00. I have Mr. Basket set to 22:00 selling period..

I'm not sure why the robot opened this trade the G/J
The Stochs were in the OS range

Just checking if something is amiss
