Steve, something else to check into:
I loaded up 1.5 last night before the 'buy hour' on 4 timeframes, m5, m15, h1, h4. Different magic numbers for each.
The only one that took the buy basket was h4, not sure why the other 3 didn't.
I have my tp levels set different on all 4 timeframes, just to have some idea of how far the baskets can go.

Good thing is, h4 was the one taken, h4 i have multfactor set to 1000, so it made some nice cash last night basket took 2hrs14mins to get it's tp, but it did get it.
Sorry. I missed this first time around.I was just doing a trawl through the most recent posts and picked it up.

It seems a little strange that the lower tf's did not take a trade but the 4 did. To be honest, I have no idea why this happened. I will think about it; in the meantime, perhaps you could keep posting if this happens again.

I cannot see anything in the code that would stop a second basket being sent with a different magic number. I will look again in the morning when my mind is fresh in case I have missed anything.

Cheers

I dont endorse using Stoch or RSI, it was just an example to use 2 if you use these indicators. You are better off using the new indicator Steve has posted in Post #1.

Go rogue ?

What for, i get paid GBP 85K basic and 12% bonus on my individual profits paid quaterly as half cash and half shares (tax reasons), i have an apartment (London Bridge) fairly close to my trading floor which is provided for free Monday to Friday. I have no risk or exposure personally as I am using the Banks equity. I do ofcourse trade personally if I need extra...
Hehe. I did warn people about the possibility of getting savaged.

I don't know if you guys are interested but I isolated some TC code and created a separate Indicator that graphically shows Market Hours in GMT on your chart with current Broker time as well. Just so you can take a quick peak to see how close you are until market open.

You are a great coder matrixebiz. You don't happen to have code that works out when an individual market is open or will open, do you?

What I want to do is code the robot to detect when Tokyo is open. From this, I can calculate when the robot needs to start monitoring for trading opportunities.

I would only work this out by Time of Day but I'm thinking you mean something different, sorry.

Near 7 years.

No, its not my main strategy, that depends on what my Bank directions are.

Since 2006 the BOJ have constantly denied their on-going involvment in their fx market but everyone knows they are telling big pork pies.

Do you find that they only intervene during tokyo? and with the forex market being a 24 hour market. do you find maybe tokyo trading in london or vise versa. I always wonder about this. being that volume is so large during london but maybe tokyo is trading. what do you think?

As a general rule they intervene prior to open and close of their session.

However, they have automated systems in place to trade the volumes in London session which have not been liquidated during their own.
