Sweet! Not sure why tp didn't move for T3, but worked out awesome
Thanks geoff>Beers in a few months.
I am not convinced that this is the case, and yes it has been thoroughly thrashed out on the other thread.
I believe Alpari UK is GMT +2 all year round!

Hi
The GMT offset for Alpari UK in the Summer is GMT+2 (or BST+1).
The GMT offset for Alpari UK in the Winter is GMT+1.
Our trading servers always run on Central European Time (CET).
CET has summer and winter time, which usually changes on the last Sunday of March and on the last Sunday of October respectively.
Thanks

Am pretty sure the buggers go back 1 hr (making it GMT +1) on the last Sunday in October and forward 1hr (making it GMT +2 as it is currently) on the last Sunday in March
Whatever, we will find out in October!

I think there are bugs. I am not a coder so most likely i am wrong.
Anyway, looking at market today, the third unit should be closed at breakeven instead of +80pips. I am not saying it is not good but if working as intended, i think that's how the trade should work out.

Hi Geoff,
I have not had any trades yet. I back tested from May 1 to May 14 2010. 14 wins no losses. Super 961.00 profit. My broker is JadeFX and should be +1 gmt, but +2 gmt gives the best results in back testing. Last night I had average daily range exceeded so I expected no trade.
Great work please keep it up. If I can be of any help please ask.
THANKS EVERYONE ON THIS TREAD.

The daily range is just for information, it is not used by the EA.
If the EA works with your broker on demo, it will work on a live account but it does not trade every day!

It depends on the entry point, remember we have seen a large range of values when the trade is placed depending on the broker.
TP3 does not go to BE if it fails, it goes to +10 in the latest version.

There are no bugs in the code, cheeky!

On another question. If i want ea to pick lot size I set MM risk i want and put manual to false? When i do that it says order lots = 0. Although his may be due to being flat?
Anyway great first week. thanks geoff.

But does itrailing stop 2 = 50 mean it will kick in at 50? if so i think it is right it would have been stopped instead of +80 as it bounced all the way back yo to633 before dropping to +80.

TP1 is 22 and the trailing stop should also be 22, if you have changed any of the settings from default you will get different results to me!
If you want to use MM set Money Management to true and Manual Lot Size to false, then select Low, Med or High risk to true.

The trailing stop is only used on TP2, there is no trailing stop on TP1 or TP3.

OK so tp3 3 will get +80 or full stop.
Itrail2 means that is second level trail will jump up? anyway, doesn't matter
246 pips in 2 days.
just trying to understand logic

Trailing stoploss stays 22 pips below TP2 so if the second order moves up the stop will follow it locking in profit, if it then falls back the trailing stoploss will catch the locked in profit.
I would say that 246 pips in 2 days is pretty fantastic!
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your patience for all our questions. If I may suggest something, why don't you write a detailed manual of your system, this would avoid answering 10 times the same questions. It would save you a lot of time for your personal trading!

Actually I don't do any personal trading, at least not manual trading.
I discovered many years ago that I am useless at manual trading, that is why all my trading uses EA's that I have developed myself.
Looking after the two threads gives me something to do while I monitor my server which currently has 37 live MT4 platforms running, without the threads I would probably spend my time munching chocolate, drinking beer and eating cake!
Also, if I write a manual would people read it, they don't even read post #1 before diving in with questions! lol!

In post#1 there is a .zip file, if you download this and open it you will find a full 12 month back test report.
The EA works with 4 or 5 digit brokers.
