Simple H1 GBPUSD EA

  • #1,381

both Alpari UK demo
The fills in GBPUSD happened 23.30 GMT
The fills in EURUSD happened 22.35 GMT

Interestingly the machine is now shorting EUR/GBP effectively which wonderful fits into the overall fundamental picture today that London will come in after the bank holiday and trade first time the european bailout for Greece which might be a heavy burden for EUR again. The eas still can be terribly wrong but at least right now it looks ok. SkyzerFX, you agree?

cheers

I use forex.com/uk and I have installed version 6 on a live account on GbpUsd one hour chart. Their GMT setting is 0.

My mt4 trading platform settings allow (both checked) DLL imports and confirm DLL function calls.

The EA common settings allow (both checked) DLL imports and confirm DLL function calls.

I'm using the default "Fast_ema" setting of 10.

AND, the smiley face shows in the upper right corner too!

So if I set "GMToffset" to 0 and the internal clock for version 6 is 23, shouldn't the EA enter two orders at the start of the 2300 hour candle?

I was expecting two short entries at 1.5247 an hour ago.

Obviously I'm missing something but I don't know what it is.

I'd appreciate your help, Geoff? Any of you other helpers?

Thanks,
Raymond

This EA takes orders between 23:00GMT and 0:00GMT.
If the condition does not meet between 23 and 0, EA takes no order.

Could the following be a factor in whether or not trades are entered?

If I understand correctly, it is the rising or falling fast ema that determines long or short entries at GMT2300.

There was no change in the 10 ema readings - per the data window - from the GMT2200 hourly candle and the GMT2300 hourly candle.

In fact, thanks to the bank holidays today and the low trading volume, the 10ema has been flat for the last 3-1/2 hours!

So........ if the trend is flat, no entry? Is this a factor in order entry?

Again thanks,
Raymond

10sma(not ema, in spite of parameter 'fast_ema') determines long or short, but it does not determine the time when take order. It is determined by fractals.

Thanks for your clarification. Now I understand why it should have placed long orders rather than the shorts I was anticipating.

Though it is not required for the EA to work, of course, I have now revised my GbpUsd H1 chart to show the 10 sma and fractals.
