This would take away the need for globals and possibly get us into trades earlier.

I assume that by 'bars' you mean separate 15 min bars, not tick by tick.

Yes bars.

I noticed that sometimes if we have say 80/20 and the old bar changes to say 95 then we wait until it comes back down past 80 missing out on allot of potential pips or points. I know some here will say thats a good thing so I am not going to put up a big argument about it.

I will accept whatever is decided by others, it was just somehting I thought should be discussed.

If it is a great deal of work then dont worry about it for now. More important is making sure the SMA and hedge coding works.

Cheers,

Scoobs.

PS. I am on a no sleep clock.

Hi Ibuks,

I suggest to read this thread, there was others with the same error and you will find the solution yourself or use the 'search this thread function'. I suggest option 1 and you can learn a lot....
Investing some hours in reading this thread helped me and i learned a lot.

Ibuks, just change the settings of the ECN criminals in the EA input tabs and youŽll be fine.

You will then assure yourself as I did myself, that the idea is sound.
can you please share what exactly backtested?

do you mean this basic strategy traded mechanically have positive expectancy?

- KG JPY GROUP on levels 90 and 10 on 15 and 80 and 20 for 1h

- start to trade 2 hours before open (when stop?)

- start to trade again 2 hours before close of Tokyo (again, when stop?)

only this with no filter?


thanks in advance.

It's 6:00 am in Tokyo local time...but it's not GMT. That's 21:00 GMT if I am not mistaken.

Look at your local time now, that's what you put in the the start time for the EA

Yep me too - lost that is (oh and green from Tokyo envy).

Scoobs best you just stick to local time as in the time on the clock on the wall. Apparently its pretty simple aye.

A couple of wines helps with adjusting the internal clocks.

I think you missed the point of his questions. Check out the earlier post from smj that he was asking about.
Of course this ea by itself doesnt backtest.
But portions of the system absolutely do backtest when setup in eas to do it.
Is just taking a lot of work.

I got slammed yesterday/overnight on the 24hv2.5 - I've decided to turn it off for the moment and focus on testing the 'proper' version...which looks good!

Dont panic, i will ring a starting bell when Tokyo opens local time but you will have to figure out what time that is in your timezones.
