Very small world

You write Vaxjo, its Växjö but ä and ö only swedish.

Now You don´t work for Eltex, You are developing EA´s instead.

Lets see what happens tonight. Tradestart 01.00 mine time, tomorrow I must go up 06.30 for go to my teaching job. Your EA makes it difficult to go to bed before trades is open

Now I am a senior citizen and retired!

I go to bed, because if I watch the trade I panic and ruin it!

Plus I am up at 6:00 every morning as I have 35 MT4 accounts to monitor for my business.

CLOCK.mq4, an April 25th file posted in this thread, is the current best answer for me. It shows me everything I need to know about times: the broker time, local time, GMT time, London time, etc. If that logic gets embedded into your next version, that would be the cat's meow!

Thanks for your excellent EA and all your hard work!
It is probably better to still use the CLOCK indicator separately as I am only interested in broker time and GMT for the EA but I will think about it!

Geoff,

Thanks for what seems like a great little EA, I have gone live with it as of last night, and even felt the need to register at forex factory today to congratulate you on it.

Can I make a small suggestion.

Many, many times the EA will take a trade and then we drift the opposite way before turning around and finishing in profit. This is obviously normal, but I wonder if we may use this to our advantage in a number of ways.

Thank you for your interest and your kind remarks!

As you have probably guessed I have had many suggestions on how to improve the EA and I am sure that yours and some of the others are worth investigating when I get some time!

However, for now I think is there is very little improvement needed, the back testing and (short term) forward testing are giving excellent results and actually you can't fix what ain't broke!

Also I have some ideas of my own about how to handle a short term reversal.

I couldn't agree with you more, don't need to fix what ain't broke!! I have been reading FF for 5 years now and this is without a doubt the best of the best!! Simple but profitable! I too am your age and am not good at manual trading. This is a great EA and I like you, love making money while I sleep. Thanks so much for your support!!

What will the EA do tonight?

The SMA slope is quite definitely long and the price is rapidly approaching the 61.8% retracement of the last move down.
I just now took a buy at 1.5354
If you're scared get a dog.

Very good morning to you Tommycz! How are you?

1.20 Alpari time 0.20 GMT 2 longs at 1.53541

just getting up here in Shanghai and not sure about market sentiment today. Strong corporate earnings in the US helped for a technical rebound in stocks which is followed by less risk aversion in fx.

US unemplyment agn not convincing (jobless recovery) and as we speak I wonder how the rather no event JPY figures released right now will drive the market towards risk aversion. Not today I guess, it's Friday, people looking for a break from all this tragedy...we should be save with short USD....any clue abt the USD not filled?

Don't change the timeframe which the EA is running.
This EA looks SMA of the current timeframe. If you change tf to 15m tf, EA looks 15m SMA.

Exactley thats wath I thought.

I will point this one out to Geoff in the morning.

There should be a logic behind this,or there could be a bug in the program.
