This is an .xls file that has been around for a while. You are given the option of standard, mini or micro account.....
This XLS file calls MT4.exe to start DDE data exchange, but my Metatrader is caled "terminal.exe" and not mt4.exe, and also datapairs have FXF at the end so this calculator didin't work automatically to get dynamic ASK values. To work you have to change content(formulas) in Column "G" ("MT4 Exchange Ask") in sheet "DATA" to (example):

terminal|ASK!AUDUSDFXF

I used Tokyo v12 with preset 2 (2 orders)

Used the Preset file without reviewing.... Has GMT= 2
Needs to change to GMT= 0

Made a mistake in setup and got a good win

Will change GMT = 0

Hello, the have the excel workbook in my trader folder and my platform executable is also called terminal.exe but the excel sheet still errors and says Cannot run terminal.exe

What do you think is wrong? My broker doesn't use any pair suffix.
=terminal|ASK!USDJPY

I had no trades on Alpari UK Demo last nigt, maybe because i had four disconnects (as usual). Now i changed the broker (that Fifo thing was crappy too).
However i suggest everyone to use the Reconnect EA. (simply drag to a chart for automatic reconnect attempts)

That is because we are all chicken when it comes to real money!
Absolutely right...
if Demo Account i never worried, n entry also do same like system, but when in real account always play by emotion, hard to be cool n leave it, many times fail because this..
today i found couple trader closed manually they entry position with little profit , at the end this EA close perfectly all entry, when i monitoring that price many times make me feel unstable emotion n want close that manual, because sometime price fight this EA (21-06-2010 price fall ), some looks like hard to reach (today t/p 3 looks little hard to reach it, many times up to 70 n fall to arround 40) but the end this EA close it on 80 perfectly ..

Here is a very simple yet profitable strategy that anyone can follow and
make an average of 50 to 100 pips a week.
Can be traded manually or using the attached EA.

I noticed that between the NY close and Tokyo open, whatever the trend,
the market seems to follow this trend for several hours.

Of course it doesn't always work but I have had better than 90% positive results.

Place the order one hour before the open of the Tokyo session.

Simple strategy, only two indicator, 10 SMA and 197 SMA.
If the slope of both is positive place a long...

Thanks so much for sharing this system or EA. I believe it's going to be a great tool for me. I would have loved to test this EA during other trading sessions and see how it performs. Can that be possible? If yes, how do i go about it?
Also how much risk did you use here;

Yes its possible and if you read the entire thread you will see reults posted but with all due respect if you are asking "how" to do a backtest you should first aquaint yourself with the MT4 platform

Please also remember that this thread is primarily dedicated to trading the GBPUSD, hence its title...

Happy trading

The risk on the fxstat report is 5% per order using 2 order option.

You can change the start time to suit other sessions but all the settings are
optimised for the current start time.

I noticed on one of my demo accounts that I had the 10 & 197 set as EMA's and not SMA's. How or when that occured I have no idea. My reg live account on the VPS with V11 is set right. Wonder if this might also be a contributing factor for others when I see postings of traders with the same brokers reporting trades opening or not opening?
in the EA it is set SMA and fixed
if you put an EMA on the graph it is indicative only

That's exactly what I had done - I placed 'colored' MA's on my charts and apparently had failed to change that demo to SMA's. Thanx for the answer. And by the way, I almost always delete my previous postings to try and keep the thread as 'uncluttered' with unnecessary non-info postings as possible!

Geoff,
Do the low risk settings from v9 apply to v12 as well? Or should we use only the default settings?

If a broker is banning this EA it is a proof of its quality
but a bad news for us
but generally the brokers lets take the trades and if it becomes profitable they
have disconnections
