Tonight has thrown up another bug.

The robot is supposed to look for trading opps until 00.30 am gmt, yet tonight it shut up shop at midnight.

This hasn't shown up before because this is the first time the robot was unable to take a trade during the relevant period.

I am not going to try to sort this out now - I am tired and going to bed. I won't be around much tomorrow, but will post a fix asap. It isn't serious; all it does is cut the trading session by 30 minutes, so the robot is still safe to use.

Better than 2 pips - 2.78 pips

Thanks Steve for the updayed V2. Just downloaded it from post 1.
(Was starting to wonder if v1.9 was really the new v2)

cheers scalz
Hehe. Yes, did the update description but forgot to upload it.

The index on each chart is only for your visual. If you set the M15 indicator properties to 90 50 & 10 lines only and set the H1 indi to 70 50 & 30 lines only, does it look any closer to having crossed?

cheers scalpz
Hi
I have updated the levels in both the indexes and on the chart I am showing when the trade took place. Is it supposed to be like that ? I know it is a visual thing but it is nice to know why it happens.
Regards

I think we should have coded everything based on Japan time, then we wouldn't have to worry about midnight

Here, too. Opened buys on all pairs and closed out 13 mins later on FXDD...at least all in profit. This was using ver 1.8.

Dear scooby-doo an partners, I would like to thank you for sharing the knowledge. Read the whole post at the end had the sad surprise that will not post more. IŽll looking your technique and would be grateful if you come back to share your experience in this thread.

Well scooby doo, that was a short trip

Take care and thanks for the insights!

I just hope that Steve will continue fixing the EA until it's bug-free....
otherwise trading manually isn't less fun anyway!

Thanks all of you guys!

For the record I've read the entire thread.

That said, I don't remember coming across this yet:

Can anyone tell me when the EA stops looking to open a basket? I know when it starts, but I haven't seen anything about whrn or why it stops looking. One hour after Tokyo open? Two? Etc....

Also, why not let the EA follow market sentiment and Buy or Sell at any time? Why force it to Buy or Sell according to time of day?

OK, let me phrase it another way. I'd like to see a note on the chart saying that the EA is not active, not just notes that say when it's programmed to start.

Look right above the trading hours... it says "Outside Trading Hours" I think that covers it.
Over confidence can be a moral hazard.... not to mention a financial one!

On IBfx demo robot V1.9 sold all pairs at 23.30 GMT. TP was hit at 23:41. Will now load robot V2.0 for testing.

Looks like a good time to force a buy. Any opinions?
