Sure Geoff, here is a backtest for the last couple of months using the exact settings I have been using on the demo account. (I realise the modelling quality is poor, but don't think it matters in this case).

The only things I can think of are the Micro/Mini settings or the fact that my account is in AUD?

The account is a standard account, allowing lot sizes down to 0.01 lots.
So it works on back test but not on live, interesting!

If you were to run the back test right up to today you would see if the EA should have traded last night!

Usually, if the EA works on back test it will work on live trading!

Morning Guys

Just out of interest I had to set my Micro to false and Mini to true or the back tests wouldnt work, my account is a mini account....but with those settings it traded on demo fine last night, will watch with interest to see how the live account is from now on.

Indeed it is strange, I will experiment with the micro/mini options some more...

The backtest was run until today, but the last trade was 24/6/10 so that means it wouldn't have traded this morning (last night depending on where you are) anyway.

Hi Sanyhuis

Are you using three orders?

I'm on the two order setup with MM also with Alpari UK Live. Got 22.0 + 10.2.

I was on #2 v12. I set my TP's at 32.

I was on #2 v12. I set my TP's at 32.
Then it must have been a very close call to TP. My orders triggered at 1.50378 and 1.50384. I think highest it went on my chart was 33 pips.

Great result.

Attached is Tokyo13 which can run on 5min charts producing exactly the same trades as if it were run
on a 1 hour chart. Obviously on a 5min chart you get to see a lot more candle detail. Tokyo13 will add
various annotations to clearly show where the relevant fractals are, which way the Simple Moving
Averages are pointing and whether the desired 5min fractal appears before the 1 hour trade window
closes (a vertical line is drawn to show the trade window close time). If you get two arrows pointing in
the same direction (Moving Averages are pointing in the same direction) and you have three thumbs up
then a trade will be initiated. If you hover over the tips of the arrow/thumbs/fractals then a tooltip will
appear describing what the annotation is.

The files in post #1 have also been updated to v13.

Hi Geoff,
thanks a lot for the next version. ....

I am still having problem with V11 and V12 anyway.

some clarification.
1. you mentioned it is for 5 minutes chart. how about the orders will it take only during the original break out time?
2. Do we need to worry about the GMT offset as it is for 5M

Regards
Velli

It works exactly as before at 23:00 GMT so you definitely still need GMT offset!

Being 5 minutes chart will it create more orders or it is going to do only during the NY close and Tokyo open....

I've been using "0" offset because IBFX uses GMT.

IBFX three winners: 21 + 14 + 4 = 39
Strange my 1 trade version on IBFX trade still open, I just close all open

orders manually. Order was open, because GBPUSD wasn't moving

whole night.

I believe, if you not close orders manually order 2 and 3 with TSL 22 should still be running.

In Experts TAB for 1-2 trade versions on 2 brokers (ECN and IBFX) I have:

"Failed to Modify trailing stops", "Modifying too soon sleeping for 2,5000 seconds"

I'm glad pair didn't drop..

Guys, check your EXPERT MESSAGES in Expert TAB, anybody have same messages?
