Another profitable night here on both Alpari and FxPro. Standing ovation for geoff.

Now the only question is how long will this strategy last.

Hi Geoff,

What if we test two different time for trade?
I did a test for this from Feb 1 to June 2 on Alpari UK. Image 1 is default value test(23 GMT) and Image 2 is using two different times(23 GMT and 16GMT) with $1000 opening balance. I think you can better test it if you have time.
Another good one is 7 am.

Hi kijkij
There are a number of start times that have worked quite well but I aimed
for the one with the least number of losses and my original strategy was
based on the SMA slope between NY close and Tokyo open.

I kind of left it to others to try different start times and different pairs!

Many thanks to you for the wonderful EA, Geoff!

I set the EA on live for the 1st time to day..hit TP2=14 pips ,TP3=9 pips but
without the order for TP1.

I recheck the setting which is all right. Could someone explain this ?

Thanks!

Hi Pipenjoyer

I had the same issue last week. Second and third orders were OK but not the first. When looking at the logs I found a disconnection and re-login immediately before orders 2 and 3 triggered. I can only assume the disconnection caused the first order to miss.

Have a look at your logs and see what it says.

you must choose micro OR minilot
I have had the same issue
This remark was on page 14 of this thread. Does it mean I have to set MicroOrdersAllowed OR MiniOrdersAllowed to "false"? Or do I do I have nothing to change in the settings except GMT offset?

I use a MB Trading 10.000 dollar demo account.

Thanks,Geoff.

It's on live Forex.com. I checked "journal"'Experts".just stated"loaded successfully"..Yes,it's really trange.

But on my another demo account(same,Forex.com),We got 22,12,8.

They are on different folder..May it be a problem for the EA?

Hi,Zr-fx

It might be the reasonable reason...But a few hours ago,I turned my laptop off,so the previous "logs" is no more existing now...
Let's see how EA works tomorrow..

Thank you.

Dear Geoff,

Alas! they have the same magic number, as the default from EA..I don't know its function and how to play with...Which posts have the explanations?

So that's the problem and answer,yes?

If the first trade (TP1 TP2 & TP3) has been executed, is it oke to turn the laptop off and turn it on again before GMT 23.00 ? Assuming there's no 2nd trade?

Thank you.

Hi again. Although the your issue may have been answered by Geoff, remember that MT4 stores the last few days of logs on your hard disk. Usually in
Program Files/MetaTrader4/logs (you may have a different path)

In the EA settings double click on the magic number on one of the charts
and edit the number, if you just add one more digit that will ensure that
there will be no conflict.

Each order has the magic number attached to it so that the EA can
recognise its own trades, if two charts have the same number you can
imagine, there will be confusion!

It's like a lot of things in forex, it is assumed that people know about things
like magic numbers, I'm trying to change attitudes and explain things but
forex forums seem to have a lot of people who don't want to share what
they have discovered, thankfully we have lots of members here who will take
the time to explain.

EDIT:
Forgot to answer your other question!
Once the trades are completed you can switch your computer off.
