Hi Geoff,

May I know if the function of ECN setting is hiding the SL and TP from the broker? I am little bit worried about this...

How long does the EA continue to look for a possible trade after 2300gmt? What is the window of opportunity that this EA tries to trade? Is it ONLY during the 2300gmt hour? The next two hours? How far into the Asian session will it try to find a trade?

Again thanks,
Raymond
Hi Raymond

The EA only looks for trades during the 23:00 GMT 1 hour bar, that is the hour before Tokyo opens.

In answer to your earlier post, in Tokyo v11 there is no "Hide_Target" option, SL and TP data
are sent to the brokers server at the time of the order, this is safer than relying on the EA
to monitor SL & TP, if you go off-line only the trailing stoploss is effected.

Hi Sky,
do you mean ECN-true will hide stop loss value and take profit value from the broker, and vice versa? I’m little bit confused...
ECN true will not hide SL & TP data, there is no Hide_Target option with Tokyo v11.

ECN brokers require a 2 part order sequence, the order is placed without SL & TP then it is
modified in a second operation to include SL & TP.

Me too!

It is very slow through the Asian session so it's better to sleep through it!

that's the question i always wondered, too. on some days orders open right after 23:00 gmt, sometimes half an hour later, and even after one hour. what control is built in, want geoff to answer
The EA only looks for trades for the hour before Tokyo opens, that is during
23:00 GMT, if it has not placed a trade by 0:00 GMT, it will not place one at all.

It is worth mentioning that, although the Asian session appears to be "slow" compared
with the London and NY sessions, this is part of the reason for the success of this EA!

thanks geoff for your attention and clarification.

one point remains to be explained if you don't mind, is why there is varied execution times depends on the day. sometimes orders are placed right after 23:00 but sometimes 30 min later like today (35 min ish). is the logic such that the EA waits the short sma to match direction with long sma and trigger?

i can't read the code so ask this question, and it is purely out of my curiosity, and nothing else.

good flights and lots of pips to you.

The 10 SMA and 197 SMA only give the EA the slope direction, it then uses a combination of
M15 and M5 fractals to decide when to trade!

Hi Geoff,

The ECN setting does not hide SL & TP from the broker.

ECN requires an order be placed without SL & TP data then modified in a second
operation to include SL & TP data, so the SL & TP data is sent to the brokers server.

Hiding the SL & TP data from your broker requires a different approach where the EA needs
to manage the order from start to finish and, although some people may like the idea of
hiding this information from the broker, it is very dangerous, if you lose your connection
during a trade the EA will not close the order!

Personally, I like to know that SL & TP data is present on the brokers server so I can
be sure that my order will be closed correctly.

am aware there are two schools of thoughts. but while the account size and trade volumes are small, i think brokers wouldn't care less.

my 2 cents is to just trade the EA as designed. so far none has reported negative incidence, if i remember correctly.

more important is one becomes confident with the EA and rely on it fully imho. after 3 weeks of demo trade, am becoming very positive about the concept, logic and outcome, thanks to geoff.

im using tolyo on 5 pairs, gu, eu, uj, au, ucad

no trade on ucad, which is correct since the sma's are not lined up.

but my question is, uj, had two trades, with tp 50, and 80, meaning, the 1st trade with tp22 was not set?

anyone experienced this? on other pairs on the main gu?

Hello.

Its verified TSL on Tokyo V11 doesnt work on my IBFX Live account. SL were not modified during last night. thats why I reached 2 TPs and the third I close manualy for 50 pips. Which is good but it was a lucky day...

I am attaching a log files of two last TOKYO trading days...

DO respect the name of this EA. geoff prefers not to discuss about other pairs. so mentioned in the past posts.

You need to check the MT4 journal to see if any errors are reported at the relevent time.

However, I should point out that this EA is designed to operate on GBPUSD H1 only and
we cannot support any other pairs or time-frames on this thread, it is just too much for
myself and piptician to cope with!
