Simple 3 order GBPUSD EA

The only problem I can see is that the EA as it stands looks to the slope of
the two SMA's in the previous 2 1H bars only.

In some cases you might want to look at a reversal of the trend or at the
slope over a longer period, there are many variations but, I think there is
only GBP pairs that have the necessary volatility.

When I first noticed how the trend continued, I was only looking at a very
small period of time to establish the trend and the EA merely confirmed that
what I had noticed was a valid strategy.

I am sure there are other similar trend continuations or reversals that could
be used but one is quite enough for me, it has been a hectic time just
developing one EA!

[quote=geoffb65;3785541]Here is the latest version of the EA completely re-writtin by piptician with
many new features, please see post #1 on the other thread:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=231650

From now on only one version of the EA is supported and all information
can be found on the other thread.

EXCELLENT WORK, MATE !!!

[quote=Freddyfx;3786068] All thanks should go to piptician for his excellent work!

Not all!

Thanks Geoffb65.

Why the name change to tokyo? I love VS 8 thus so far.

Just to indicate that this is a completely different EA from the older ones!

Into 3 buy orders live with Tokyo - any one else??

Can you show your chart please, the EA should not have traded today!

Here you go. I have just closed all trades for a small profit and have binned it now. I have the gmt set to 3 so this is right. Just not happy with the risk reward on this boy anymore + every one is getting different results.

I haven't had an order triggered yet on FXDD demo. I have had time to play around with some of the variables. Not to curve fit it for this year but to find the sweet spot in the numbers. I will post this in the other thread since we are all moving over there.

camvcooV5 traded today, 2 closed in profit and the 3rd one is still hovering around in positive..
GoMarkets GBPUSD

3 TP on both Alpari and FXpro, though the second broker had a better entry point and collected more pips. Funny how the third trade stop loss resisted for a few pips.

Good result either way!!

hi geoffb65,

yr EA seem very interesting.i have a question here,if i am currently using avafx as my broker and iam staying in malaysia,what should i set in GMT offset,is it 8?and how about start time?is it using 23? it is appreciate if you can help in this,thanks and happy trading

You need to find out for sure your broker to GMT offset, if it is +8 then put
that in the GMToffset setting then you can leave Start time as 23.

Hello everyone I am still having trouble getting EA to work.
I have been trading for 3 years now and have never used an EA, so this is new to me.

Weird. I found this morning two open longs on Alpari and three open longs on FXpro. All positions are negative for now, not sure if this entry turns to be profitable. Let's hope cable will push another bit up.

Well first trade TP and the others stopped out. I just can't understand why Alpari had 2 trades while FXpro got 3.
