IBFX has a really nice spread on this pair - 2160 points!!!
hmmm.
maybe will forget about USDMXN.
Manually I have had some very good trades, but I could control for spread. The spreads during active hours like London can be decent, the pips are cheap... But maybe not so good for this strategy...

No, I'm using all defaults except the GMT offset. I'm in California and my broker's new day is at 2:00 p.m. PST, which makes it convenient to know what is going to happen very quickly.

if a trade was going to be triggered wouldn't it be triggered now? EURUSD is set to short, I have the ea loaded, ea4, but no trade. Am using FXDD gmt +3. What's wrong.?
the screenshot is from another account on a different computer so it doesn't show ea. The trade on the screen shot has been placed manually.

EURUSD is set to short
Don't be so sure about that.. EURO Zone Bank holiday today..

ECB might start pumping EUR again when Europe session starts,

besides you have to wait for pop to short.. EU more LONG now than

short. Buy low sell high..

yes that makes sense. But I am trying to test out the ea. The conditions are right for the ea to automatically trade short. But nothing triggered. I want to see how to set the ea. Winning trade not so important for me right now. Just to get the ea set up properly..
help..

Hi there,

I thought the ea only triggers after 2300 GMT? And we are 5 mins away from 2300 GMT? so any trigger should only happen from 2300 GMT - 0000.

Pls correct me if i am wrong?
Thanks

I'm not good at fixing things, but I am using FXDD and got a EURUSD trade that took less than an hour start to finish. Here is how my chart looks..hope you can see it.

I've been back testing version 8 with default settings and from beginning of this year until today, results were pretty good. Same thing for all of 2009. 2008 however, results were not good at all. I like to test any EA through 08 since it was such a wacky year. Are you guys getting poor results for 08 also? I guess optimized settings would have had better results that year but then that's kind of a guessing game as to how the market is going to move.

Why you guys trading anything but what this EA was write for?

I don't think you going to risk real money on that Crazy horse pair

like GBPJPY, I never trade that and never will, it could kill your account

10 times faster than EU.. You'll need 500 pips Stop loss there not 140.
