Woke up this morning to a -26 pip lost on my live account on IBFX. V9 took 2 short trades at 1.4580 and both hit stop loss.

Also had V9 on my demo account yet that did not take a trade. Wonder why?

Thinking of going back to V8.

Did the new Tokyo trade?

Here is the latest version Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v11 the .set files are
in the PresetsX.zip file, tokyo_x1.set, tokyo_x2.set and tokyo_x3.set.

It is reommended that you upgrade your existing files as soon as possible.

 

  1. Now handles GBPUSD symbol names with extra characters
  2. The issue with the single order setting not trailing the stop has been fixed
  3. The issue with the 3 order setting trailing the 3rd order stop instead of trailing it once has been fixed
  4. New parameters for specifying the market open times TokyoOpenTime, FrankfurtOpenTime, LondonOpenTime and NewYorkOpenTime (these default to Alpari UK time which is CET i.e. London + 1 hour)
  5. New server friendliness parameter OrderSendMillisecondDelay which specifies the time delay between sending each order and OrderModifyMillisecondDelay which specifies how long to wait between modifying the orders i.e. trailing the stops (all previous EA versions were trailing the stop every tick which would overload the server).

There you are she's bouncing off the 197 MA...needs to break it and hold below....thats why the entry should be below the 197 MA...

If she breaks down..look to the low of 1.4503 and then if she breaks that and holds Iam looking for 1.4440..

Lets see if she breaks down.
I told you that was 100% LONG not short, you gotta watch Dollar Index

next time.. Dollar was diving.. I escape just in time..

GU heading to Triple TOP, if breads before END of the day then maybe OK to take a LONG

otherwise, I wouldn't take LONG there. "Buy Low Sell High", - I feel more comfortable with that

approach.

Yes it's possible but you have to keep in mind SL pips multiply

by numbers of position taking, but on Demo it doesn't matter I guess.

With regard to the stops being hit last night it is important to keep things in perspective. IBFX is one of the few brokers that has a brief Sunday D1 candle, hence many of us get in at that time. Most brokers do not have a Sunday candle, but start the new week with a Monday candle.

The Sunday candle is often bypassed for trading, as is Sunday evening in general due to the fact that there is almost no liquidity at this time. Also, China and Australia were closed due to holidays, which made the usually thin Sunday liquidity almost non-existent. This leads to two consequences:

1. Relatively small players can move the FX markets wildly since the lack of liquidity does not have the usual smoothing effect

2. Technical indicators, especially oscillators do not work well with low liquidity

The result last night was a signal that, while valid, should have been ignored based on the aforementioned issues. EA's are great, but they cannot think for us. The best use of any EA is in conjunction with our own brains. The professionals in quant shops use a basket of algorithms that they apply for specific purposes and market conditions. We also need to be judicious in our choices for running EA's. This EA can run almost 24/7 due to it's entry conditions. However, Sunday night with 2 of the largest liquidity providers out of the market for holidays is time to shut it off and wait.

Hi all,
Sorry for my ignorance. I read in previous that we need to change the magic number to avoid the broker know that we are using the EA. Does that mean the brokers' don't allow any EA to run?

Absolutely agreed.. I never turned on before, just yesterday ones..

Manually I don't trade Sunday as well, liquidity is low, too risky.

Broker wants you to lose and if EA is a winner, yes, they

won't like the way you steal their money.. Changing Magic number

will not help you. You can clean TITLE field, trade_comment field

and set iMagicNumber to 0, assuming you have only 1 EA running on your

MT4. That should look like a Manual trade to broker.

Hi Geoff,
there may be something wrong with the Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v11.ex4 download on this post. At least it would not download from there. I was able to download from the paper clip..
As ever thank you for the ea and the great thread. The shared knowledge and insight here in the atmosphere of open and focused exchange is invaluable.

When you attach the EA, under the input tab, click load, select tokyo_x2.set from the set files. You have to save the files from preset zip as attached by Geoff
