Hi

IBFX spread GBPUSD. On their homepage they say as low as 2.0 average 3.71 http://www.ibfx.com/Trade/Performance.aspx I have newer seen lower than 3, often 4 in daytime (I live in Sweden, now GMT +2) I cant remember I have seen more than 4 but I dont look so often.

Correct Elovv it is a demo acc.
But both positions got filled @ 1.5202 and the second was stopped out on trail @ 1.5185
I will place it on a live acc tonight with micro lots.
Which is actually the best way to test any EA.

Maybee its because IBFX always is GMT time? Maybee 4 pips are not to bad under Asian session? I dont know what spread Alpary have Asian time. But download a demo if You have time and backtest. Interesting if You will have the same result as I have.

I think an input to change both trade comment and magic number would be great. I saw the various comments about ECN brokers. Don't know much about them myself but I know Steve H has very strong opinions about them and doesn't use them.

This is great!

Much less stressful than manual trading I think!
Not sure if anyone has replied to you yet. But - Alpari UK is GMT + 2

Quoting semelak1
Can someone please comment on what I am doing wrong ? Why am I getting different results ?

The system time is GMT. My broker is Alpari UK. In the EA settings, I have the GMToffset set to 0 and Start_time to 1 (these are the default values).

What should I change ?

If You win 14% today You have to big lotsize. I risk 10% and win 1,5% today.
You must risk 100%. One loosing trade and You wipe Your account.

Hi Geoff,
in order to make your EA work with ECN brokers,
would you please study following thread,
especially the posts of HAYSEED and 7bit :
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=213903

I think there are some pretty simple but effective ways given in there.
Tried to modiefy it myself by simply replacing all "ordersend" by "ordersendreliale2step"...
Thank you for this, I will need to study it carefully!
Blimey! this must be magic! How in God's name did the EA work when your PC was shut down?

i am not able to make the EA work. my broker is FXCM GMT+1. i set GMT Offset to 1 and start time to 23. but i dint get any signal at tpkyo open. but now i am seeing a signal that came much later, also the price doesnt look correct

i decided to do it manually. at tokyo open, i open the chart, see SMA10 . now how do i decide the trend ? current candle has to close over the line for long or it should not touch the line at all ?
The EA is working with the slope of the 10 SMA and several fractals for confirmation. As a manual trader (for now) I look at the 10 SMA on the 1H chart at the start or shortly after of the Tokyo session, if its up I buy, down I sell. If its near neutral I wait for confirmation. An update on manual entries would be helpful though.

Are you testing v3 and v4?

We are using v5a at the moment and v4 is not trading often enough!

What exacly am I looking at in your files, I am not familar with the system that you are using, is this the broker or is the data coming from a broker to be summarised on this site?

In the EA I look at the slope of the SMA between the two candles previous to the trigger candle, if you trade manually you may want to consider the slope of the SMA over a slightly longer period, mabe 3 or 4 bars.

If you use the EA your trade should occur during the 1 hour cadle before Tokyo open time, it can happen at any time during this hour when all the entry conditions coincide.

Magic?

Not quite, if the order was placed with hide_targets false, both orders would go to their TP's or SL's even if the computer is switched off.

However, the trailing stop would not work on the second order as this is managed by the EA.
