..............................................

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.

Dear Geoff & Zr-fx,

Thank you so much!
Your answers are right and helpful.

I could not express my feeling well, for my English is so awkward. I quote an adage here ,might be refreshing:

"The good are never alone,and the kindhearted are the merriest.
Those who help others and so benefit themselves are the happiest."

Regards,

Attachment Attachment Attachment Hi everyone. I'm new here, but have a bit of experience in fx & coding.
Firstly, thanks to geoff for the brilliant work & selfless generosity. Hopefully I can contribute something useful to this forum.
I have tested the EA on 3 different brokers on live accounts, 1-1-2010 to start June 2010, with MT4, b226. Report files attached. (hopefully!)

I firstly tuned the settings for maximum return on GoTrader. I used the same set file, and only set the start_time to optimize in strategy tester, (0-23), Model:every tick. I set the GMTOffset to zero.
Even I am surprised by the different results between brokers!!! Aplari, Fxcm, & Gotrader.
In the Html files from the zip, subtract 1 from the pass number (first column) to get the GMT time. The Gmt time is also represented on the bottom of the gif graf.
Before all testing, I downloaded fresh history data, & defragged the HDD.

Any comments on this?

Yes, IBFX is one of the finest to trade with for they run GMT, makes it all a bit easier. Hope they will soon open their office in London.

Thanks Freddy for your email. Yes, that time thing is always a big issue and source of confusion in many FF forums/posts. For that matter I like OANDA since you can set the terminal time to your local time or whatever you prefer. Also training your phsycology to 50:1 leverage is another merit.

IBFX: I have pulled out funds from my live accounts there since the limitation of hedge position effected. If/when they open in UK, I would like my live account transferred automatically, like FXDD Malta did.

Well the "Ny close to Tky open slope continuation" by geoffb65 is an interesting discovery no one else have ever come across as far as I know and hope it stands to market storms in the days to come. He flys glider, and so do I.

Off to tennis now. Have a great weekend. Akria

Big differences between brokers, probably much bigger than expected which
makes it difficult to choose between them.

I suppose the problem with this test as it stands is that the only value that
is truly valid is the level shown for 23, as this is the only value that ties in
with the basic strategy, all the other times are looking for the SMA slope
at the wrong time.

Are any of these brokers 4 digit?

Another profitable night!

If you were wondering how's working with FxPro I'm testing it for a week now and works like a charm even with a slightly bigger profit than alpari. Just put the GMT offset to 3 and the rest can be left to default.

I'm feeling so less stressed since I quitted manual trading.

How did you manage that?

None of my accounts traded and the SMA's were crossed!

No, all 5 digit. I have seen the same differences in other EA's. I have used a hybrid martingale on all accounts, it's amazing the difference a couple of pips can make in between brokers. At the end of the day, I have not seen alot of difference over the longer term. But I do think it is advisable to tune for each broker.
I got caught with the martingale on the wrong side of EurAud 2 weeks ago....meltdown! (I don't like to think about it cos It may do more psychological harm!).

Looking at your code, it is easy to mute screen display in code to speed up testing.
if (! IsTesting())
{ object, comment,,,etc}

That works well.

Doesn't the EA trade on friday as Tokyo won't open after New York close? Or do you have to turn off the robot on friday so it won't trade?

I'm afraid that friday has already finished in Tokyo. You'll have to wait until next week now. Have your computer on for monday morning Tokyo time.

Thank you guys, I haven't had a trade with this EA for so far, cause my settings weren't all right. Now, I have only set the GMT offset, so hopefully I get my first trades on monday.

Attached is a VB6 GMT clock. The .exe is included with the source code in the zip file. (Just re-compiled). I always have it running in a corner of the screen. R/H mouse on the clock to set properties. I prefer 24hr display.

enjoy!
