I don't see any problem using MM with v5 and I will be running some tests to see how it performs.

Now it is optimised for the Tokyo start time it is doubtful if it would work at other times of the day but, you never know!

I would never rule anything out!

For v5, "Confirm DLL function", check or uncheck

Can you run it on the tester and see if there are any error messages in the journal?

One thing to note in v5, at the bottom of the settings you can select Mini or Micro accounts, make sure the correct one of these is set to true.
Geoff,
I don't see this on the inputs page. But I listed the lot size as 0.01. What do you think?

Confirm DLL should be unchecked.

Is that good enough?
Actually I made it 0.05 meaning I used micro lots.

The Micro and Mini selection is on the Settings that you see when you first install the EA on MT4.

For 0.01 lots to work you must have Micro Lots set to true.

While I am not a great fan of Money Management, here is a chart showing V5 operating on High Risk (10%).

Starting with $5000.

I think the default was set to Micro Lots true when I uploaded the files.

0.05 is a good level to try, it's $1 per trade split in two, spot-on!

i got this idea from a great guy i know that presented us with a great EA (his called Geoff, don't know if u know him) and i am thinking of using a VPS to run my MT4. they have a limit of only 10Gb (for what i am whiling to pay) so it seems i can't run backtests from there (with dukascopy data, that is).

if i stick with the original idea of using an external disk, installing MT4 on that disk could be a solution, right?

(sorry for the ignorance: what is the loader you refer to?)

after seeing the results with the compound (MM) instead of fix lot size i am already looking at what bora-bora island to buy you. i have been talking with few of the people here and we agreed to put in some of the money we will make to give you that present. u earned it, man.

You need to place data in your MT4/tester/history folder, so it must be on the same HDD. Also, make sure that you mark every generated FXT file as read-only, otherwise MT4 will remove it if you forget to use the loader...
dreams do come true.

Hi Geoff
Thanks for the timezone details for AUS.
I configured the EA with the default settings on my demo account. for last two days no trades were initiated. where as if i run back test it is making some trades. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
Also, if i try to open up the properties of the EA to modify it is not opening. I have remove the EA and reattach again with different setting.

thanks for you help and assistance.

Regards
Velli

Hi Geoff,

In the next release you might want to comment out line 325 -
PHP Code
Print("Trade hour = ", trade_hour);
So that it doesn't fill up the journal with this info. I imagine you had that in there for debugging.

As the Start_Time is so important for this EA, would it be possible for you to add an auto GMToffset function? Then a person could attach the EA to a chart, it will tell them their Auto GMToffset, and they can then enter that value in GMToffset when backtesting. So on the EA screen you show something like this:

Quote
Automatic GMTOffset detected: 2
GMTOffset: 2

Cheers, Andrew.

Few updates ago MetaQuotes disabled import of FXT files, so you need loader (or mq4 script) to use them.

Thank you Andrew, I have commented out the Print line!

There was a bug in the program so I will be re-posting it with these fixes.

Can you help me, I fire two orders in quick succession but occasionally only one order is created, have you any suggestions why this should happen?

We measure the slope of the SMA line and there was a small kink in the previous 2 hours before Tokyo.

I am trying to find out why it occasionally only creates one order, so far with no joy, when I do I will post the fix.

My own live account did not trade last night either.

The program will not trade every day and it may well trade on some brokers but not on others.
