I'm sure you've put in the right date, but just a quick note for anyone who isn't sure.
The Japanese public holiday for 23rd November has been and gone. It's now the 24th November in Tokyo. So you need to input the date for the next holiday which is on 23rd December. And you need to make sure you get the hours right in your own local time.
After doing this, if the EA still says that it's suspended and you need to input the date for the next holiday, just close and then re-open your MT4 platform.
Here's a link to a useful Japanese holiday calendar

Saved to my txt crib sheet now.
I ended up deleting a lastupdatetime global to get my proper ea v3.1 going.
Missed the basket sell at 2330GMT on IBFX. Didnt quite trigger the levels. Would have been nice into the live acct. Expected a good move this morning after their holiday.

Target 2 : Stoploss in the green
Thanks Jezza, was just thinking time to dig back through the posts for that link.

No idea. Not a hint of a clue how it works. Indi code does nothing more than leave me utterly baffled.
No idea either what yours tells me. I mean, green = buyers; red = sellers I get, but what does red with a green outline mean?

Thank you Scoobs. Are you a proponent of VSA?

If you do decide to start adding volume-- make sure the code includes volume on the close of the last/previous candle/bar- otherwise the program will just count the first 100 ticks, and V will be satisfied...BTDT...And tick V during London is alot different than tick V during Asia. (But you allready know this)
I am just the mechanic bolting all this together. I might have mentioned this before.
Several times.
In a number of threads.
Frankly, if I understood a fraction of what was going on, I probably wouldn't need to keep on writing trading robots.
Ok, so I understand that going short just because a 15M sma has crossed below a 30M sma is not a great idea. I realise that going short just because rsi hops briefly into overbought is probably not a decent long-term trading policy. Yep, I know that when GU bumps its nut on 2.000 going long is probably not a good idea. Yep, I can recongnise a half-decent point of s/r on a chart.
Anything more complicated, forget it. I am just a mechanic.

No I don't. I don't know much about anything.

Just updated the dashboard.
1) added a x and y shift so you can move it around on your chart
2) added some internal logic
To do: alert for buy/sell opportunities
Have fun...
P.S. smjones... your JPY indi doesn't work here on FXDD as well. Gives me a zero_divide message

It seems to me that, unless there is a way of measuring the volume of trading now then any attempt to use trading volume fruitless. What I have read about this in relation to our attempts to trade retail forex suggests that none of the available indicators actually represent trading volume in real time.
Given that none of the indicators available to us represent real-time results, this is no surprise.
Maybe there is a magical volume setting that is reliable? I am not being sarcastic here. A number of contributors here whose opinions I respect, have mentioned the 200 moving average. Is there a similar volumes setting?

On the 24hr ea, I know I saw something to the point where new hedging was going to be added, so this question might be out of date, but I was just wondering about something?
At the present, if for example you have a buy trade of .33 pips and then hedging occurs, it looks like the hedge is in the opposite direction but for the same amount of pips?...
In this basket trading method, we successively hedge the worst performing pair in the expectation that the un-hedged pairs will eventually bring the basket back to breakeven. I have used this partial hedging technique successfully in the AshFX V2 robot - applied to individual trades.
Taking hedge trades with lots that are greater than the original makes little sense. The original trades were taken in accordance with a trading system the user sufficiently trusts to use. Partial hedging is an emergency device to alleviate the need for stops that definitely lose when hit, whilst avoiding the potential account-wiping potential of trading without a stop at all. It reduces the severity of a continued move against the original trade.
The problem that has arisen on demo here today is that so many of the basket's trades have become the biggest losers that the overall basket of original + hedge trades has entered a kind of no-man's land where progress is impossible.
I am going to implement a maximum hedge trade setting of 2, to see how this works out.
Good fun all of this, but it applies mostly to the 24H version which is really just a bit of fun. No reason why we shouldn't try to make it work, but I do not hold out a lot of hope that it will.
