Do you have Trailing Stop Loss in place? That's what most important

protection.
Yes. Thank you. And I'm not aware of any time that the connection was lost. It must have been but I'm not aware of it.
Bummer.

Geo I have a question.. Version 4a any different? I mean, if I just

set Tokyo EA with 1 trade and change MA 10 to MA 16 (TP and SL and TSL

to the

same settings as in V4a ) that should be the same thing, right? Thanks
Yes you can change the settings, but the .set file will do that for you!

Bugger.

As far as I know I have the settings set to never sleep. What else do I need to do? Please and thank you.

What time did it close out?
It is difficult to be certain with a pc, obviously it is much better to use a vps
but much more expensive!

If you did loose connection it would be logged in the terminal's Journal.

Thanks, I just tested 1 order setting, something is wrong,

Trailing Stop (thought it's set to true as usual) doesn't working, run few times, not sure what's

the reason ECN=true and still only have either SL or TP executed

don't see any Trailing Stop involvement. Not sure what is the

problem, Geo please run the test with 1 order setting and see if you got TSL working.

Hi Geo,

I m curious here, as i didnt know what went wrong

I used v8, v9, and the TOKYO version (same setting) for both live and demo of FxOpen..

My demo is running smoothly, almost everyday it made trade, somehow my live never traded since 3rd June 2010..

What are the possibilities it happened such way?? IS it the broker??

I am questioning because i didnt know how to get around this! If no trade for both, fine for me.. Because the demo, it changes the 42K into 49K only in this week!!

Tell me if there are things i should know..

Thanx in advance

First of all, I love this EA and want to give everyone a big thank you... Especially geoff. This has been a well managed, friendly and fruitful thread.

Just had trades go on my live IBFX acct with V9.

Buys at 1.4548

Have not placed Tokyo on any charts yet

The Trailing stop in V4A is 9 and the target profit is 80.

Alpari uk live

v7a long 1.45487 and 1.45488
v8 long 1.45488 and 1.45485

both long trades opened allthough high was at 1.45456....so that is a classic broker charade.....

interestingly the demo version on Alpari and MIG did not get triggered for either v8 nor Tokyo nor v9 on Alapri and v7a on MIG.

16 and 197 direction up.
so v4 would work for a trade.
there's a trend line below the pivot that could be tested so if a buy is triggered might be a big drawdown and even a loss.

What are you think I'm stupid? Run the backtest, then we'll talk..

Shut your monitor down and relax, that's the purpose of EA and

not to watch it like manual trade and guess where and what..

1 year data speaks for itself. Today more quiet. I don't expect

EUR to tank since US session went just fine.. GBP even stronger.

ES, good morning.

Can I ask you at what time were your trades triggered?

As I am on Alpari uk live and both v7a and v8 got triggered at 23:00 GMT at 1.45488, 1.45487, 1.45485 although high was trading at 1.45456......

Interestingly both MIG and Alpari demo did not trigger any trades so far for v7a, v8, v9 and Tokyo

Nothing here still.. Manually I wouldn't buy it, why hurry, while pair still setting down..
