Hi Geoff, top of the morning to you when you get this.

I've tried a few of the older versions today and fiddled with the settings to see what I might have done to get the "error #0" message on my ECN brokers. GU didn't trade but the EU tried to activate a few trades.

And the results? Drumroll please .........

Hide_Targets must be set to "true" to be accepted by the broker. That is why I've had no results with these EA's of late.

When it was suggested on the other thread to show targets in case my computer disconnects and loses control of the trade, that is what I did all round. I didn't get any trades anywhere after that.

But with this EA there is no option to show targets for the reason mentioned above.

Dear Sir Geoff, is it possible for a man of your capabilities, to add this option onto this EA for people that really need it? The queue starts behind me! I'd be as happy as a pig in mud!

Cheers!

Good morning!

The other EA works with ECN because we hide the TP & SL, ECN does not work if you send this data with the OrderSend routine, then the EA monitors the trade begining to end and closes the trades at SL or TP.

The method works with ECN but a kind gentleman pointed out a couple of days ago that the method I used was incorrect and would not be accepted by a "true" ECN broker, whatever that is!

There is a thread on FF where the correct method is discussed but I have not finished reading it yet, when I have I will try to apply it to both EA's.

Into 3 sells and all -100 odds pips in the red - bottom twitching time again

Unless it reverses of the round number big time we are all doomed

I am in UK and it is at 1.00am Broker time which is 11.00pm my time. Broker is +2 hours in front.

The start time is 23:00 GMT and the GMT offset value is the difference between
your brokers time and GMT which looks like it should be +3.

Didnt work out - stopped out on all three orders -420 pips Lucky its only a micro live account. It turned short straight way after hitting SL

Changed my time setting now to 3 - hopefully I will get it back. Not sure why a hour can make so MUCH difference - but thems the rools I suppose.

Sorry!

One hour either way makes a massive difference!

If your broker is ECN you will get this error, this EA is not suitable for ECN.

Hello.
I´m bit confused here, my broker is Alpari gmt +2, do I have to change to start time to 01.00 then? Or it stays 23.00?

Best wishes

Danel.

no, FXOpen normal demo (not the ecn version), has been following this thread since the 1st version, 1st time getting this error with the newest version.

Anyone seen similar problems? Not sure if it will be the same for GU in live acct.. hope not..
