That would be correct, but I would wait until I could get an answer about the actual backtested times before I would trade it for real money.
I got filled (buy using demo account) at 1.5479 03:00 (5:00 Pac DSL Time). Something's not set right. We're 1 hour into Tokyo session, so shouldn't that read 01:00 if set correctly?

Thanks, Carol, for the TrendMagic answer.

Also, Elovv and Haishang were filled going short, with Elovv at the same price!

I know....Alpary time is now 02.00 and GMT is 00.00.
But Geoff´s optimation have found that the best trade start is Alpary 01.00=GMT23.00

I don´t think its correct if You will have the same settings as Geoff. His setting on Alpary UK: GMT offset=0, Start time =1.

You use FXDD. FXDD is 1 hour after Alpary. So Your setting
GMT offset=0, Start time=2 ore
GMT offset=3, Start time =23

Geoffs start time=01 Alpary=02FXDD=23.00GMT

Elovv
What I said reflects a start time of 0GMT. Which has been what we are told is the start time.

I also added that we need to clear it up with the OP, since he has found he's been starting at 23:00 GMT.

I'll stand by what I said.

I got 2 shorts at exactly 25 minutes after Tokyo open using Alpari UK demo...and to be honest, while being happy that GBPUSD is lower now, I do not really understand why it sold either......
I also filed with 2 shorts at 154798,witch one closed with 22pips.

I also use alpari uk with +1 to gmt .

Therefore it started at 12.25 gmt.

Mind u I was expecting a long order since the candle on 1H closed above the 10sma.

Am I confused ? yes.

The times are presently in doubt.
We need to wait for the OP, to answer some questions.

first trade was filled at 2.19 CET, means 19 minutes after Tokyo came in. Geoff wanted to set the robot at 23.00 GMT to have 1 hour before Tokyo starts trading...hope this helps. Trading on alpari UK demo

I am trying to help you solve problems for yourself, and you are fighting me.....

Chaps, dont forget that UK time is currently BST, which is gmt+1

this will be the last post i will respond to on the subject of "time".
I don't ask about it.
Of course I can get the timezone from the charts. We should not discuss it.
I want to ask if GMToffset of this program works correctly because Geoff mistake the broker's timezone.
Anyway, Geoff seems to notice about it at his last post, the program will be changed or the way of right settings will be announced.

Hello everyone,

I have been using this EA on my demo account with IBFX which is a 0 GMT ...

My live trading account with Go Markets Australia is +2 GMT

I have set both the the correct GMT offset and the appropriate start time.

The demo works perfectly everytime, but my LIVE account will not take any trades.

Has anyone any idea why this might be, I have tried everything.

And a big thankyou yo Geoff for the wonderfull system, DEmo is going great.

Just want to make it with REAL money ... lol

I am in Australia by the way.

Thanks

V5a Minor bug fixed in v5 regarding trailing stoploss and option to
Hide_Targets added to hide TP & SL values from your broker.
Go to post #394 for full details and back-test results.
Simple question: In the v5a code TrailingStop() function, is there a missing brace there:

if( OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == iMagicNumber2)

switch(OrderType())
{
case OP_BUY:

Doesn't an open brace {go right after ==iMagicNumber2)?
Curious if I am missing something or not.

Thanks,
Ed

In this case you put braces or not on opening the "IF" statement, it will do the same job.
