You must have your settings an hour latter than my setting,as yours started just after midnight.
My broker is Alpari UK.. and my settings are default for V5a. GMT is set to 0 and Start time is set to 1. Past 2 days EA has taken trades on live

4.26 got filled LONG @ 1:50 --> 1.53910 (tp1 and tp2 reached)
4.27 got filled SHORT @ 1:25 --> 1.54792 (tp1 and tp2 reached)
2.28 got filled SHORT @ 1:20 --> 1.52457 (now)

Yeh, I called the alpari uk desk,and they couldn't give me any constructive reason why the live account doesn't fills in.

Have no idea so far, a bit strange though.

I have live running on my main PC and running demo on laptop.. so far from what I seen, the demo gets different fills and TP1 and TP2 is reached a lot quicker then on LIVE.

What do people think of the SHORT position opened tonight?

I did not get filled today on the demo version both for EU and GBP. I got your mentioned trades:

4.26 got filled LONG @ 1:50 --> 1.53910 (tp1 and tp2 reached)
4.27 got filled SHORT @ 1:25 --> 1.54792 (tp1 and tp2 reached)

But today nothing at all. Can it be that my laptop was hibernating and therefore the ea was not able to send orders?

All comments welcome!!!

I thought it would go LONG but it went SHORT on all demo accounts.
Forex.com and IBFX at the same time (23:40) and FXCM 25 min earlier.

is one of the reasons i am not a fan of alpari, on the demo account they requote often, and the live account is even worse. there is no reason whatsoever they should requote on minilots of demo accounts.

Has anyone thought about taking a hedge say at like -50 to help minimize the loss? Just throwing it out there since seems were are on wrong side of trade, as of now!

Thought about it when you first posted it. i have not run a simulation on it but my gut feeling would not take a hedge as the entire systematic behind the ea would be changed dramatically (profitablitiy, risk/reward).

Can you tell me if it matters when laptop is hibernating? I am still investigating the topic why I have not opened any trades today on Alpari Uk demo for v5a both for EUR and GBP in default setup.

I am not sure.. I set "never put computer to sleep" and just turn off screen after a min. So I guess that when it hibernates it does not run the EA.. I could be wrong. As for the hedge option, probably better to let it run and just deal with SL when it comes..

I have seen the EA open a position before and its moved against it, So i closed the position only to see it return to what would have been a profit...So Iam leaving the short position and lets see what happens...

After all the overall trend is short..

i am not sure if ill get banned for suggesting brokers. but there are lots out there. i have not found any similar problems with any of the others. its bizzare really, you would think they would go out of their way to provide the best demo service possible

Thank you very much for your comment Tommycz, it is very much appreciated. One more reason why we should be correct on our assumption that hibernating stops the machine is the attached strategy report which I just ran and it shows 2 openings of

Q.E.D.

Unfortunately I think there is no better way than to let the S/L run and if it is hit I would double the lotsize the next day if there is no major shock to the market. Mind you, Greece is according to S&P junk status and all em currencies tank, look at USDTRY, EURPLN, EURHUF...all down the toilet. Risk Aversion is back. In this circumstance you might only want to sit and watch what happens next before deciding to go against your trading model.

In any case I switched off the hibernating mode and the stand by mode and I only allow the machine to turn off the screen and the HD. I let you know the outcome......

I am wondering if I have the EA turned on and there are active trades. Can I still take other trades on the G/U ? or will the EA have a problem with more orders?
