Hi Guys,

can help me step by step how to install the EA to my mt4? i got no idea how to do it.
Download the PresetsX.zip and Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v11.ex4 files from post #1 to your desktop.

Place your EA file (the file ending in .EX4) in the "experts" folder while MetaTrader is not running. The experts folder of your MT4 installation is usually: Crogram Files/MetaTrader 4/experts
Unzip the PresetsX.zip on your desktop and copy the 3 .set files to the "experts/presets" folder
Crogram Files/MetaTrader 4/experts/presets
(To unzip the PresetsX.zip right-click on the icon and choose "extract all" from the drop down menu.)

Start or restart MT4. You will notice the new EA in the navigator window on the left under "Expert Advisors". Drag and drop the icon of the EA to the H1 GBPUSD chart . This will result in a pop-up box that will allow you to enter any external variables that may be needed on the "inputs" tab. Make sure you click on "Allow live trading" under the ‘common’ tab of that box so the EA will work. You will typically also need to allow "Long & Short" trades to be enabled.
In the "inputs" window select "Load" and you can select the .set file for the number of trades 1, 2 or 3 options.

You must change the GMT offset to suit your brokers GMT offset, this is very important and must be correct.

Click OK. If you did everything right you will see a tiny smiling face () at the top right hand corner of the chart with the name of the expert advisor program that you are running next to it. Your EA is now up and running.

NOTE : If the face is not smiling, () it means you did not check the "allow live trading" check box when you attached it. To fix this simply left click anywhere on the chart, and select "expert advisors" from the drop down menu and then "properties" to get to the current EAs properties. Once there, on the common tab, click to allow live trading and click OK

If it is still not smiling, be sure the click the button in the MetaTrader toolbar (right in the middle) that says "Expert Advisors". It must have a green icon next to it. If it’s red, it is disabled.

that sounds like the reason i havent triggered a trade, i hope.
there are 2 sets of presets, one set for the original Tokyo and one set for Tokyov11.
the presets with "x" are the ones for Tokyo v11..

With Tokyo v11 there is no need to set GBPUSD_ONLY to false, this has been fixed.

If you are using Tokyo v11 and .set options 2 or 3 your EA may not have traded
because the conditions are not right!

If you are using Tokyo v11 and .set option 1 your EA should have traded today.

what am I missing?
(never mind, that would be a long list )
I have attached v11 and loaded x1, set gmt +3 to my broker FXDD (like I have done many times before, no problem) but the lines marking market opens are 1 hour too early. That is a desirable function but it is off 1 hour, also makes me to wonder if I use this llive maybe it is not set correctly for trading.

No, all versions work correctly!

Tokyo 1 order works slightly differently, that's all!

The lines can be set to any time you want they don't effect the EA.

I hate to act "newbish" here and post a potentially ridiculous question, but when attempting to download v11, it appears as a .php file not a .ex4. Suggestions for me? Thanks.

Three orders Tokyo loaded on Alpari and FXPro. It didn't trade on both. I expect to see a big fat trade wednesday or thursday.

Last loss position did make me think, why did the Tokyo did a short, even both 10 and 197 sma's slope obviously were heading north!!

Geoff,

I think piptician has set it to work on broker time so you can just put the
lines wherever you want them, I knew putting time lines on the chart
would cause problems!
