Take it or leave it, your choice!
The real point is Geoffb65 is that when the original idea come to the forum many person (including myself) make a contribution to make it better. I think you will agree that the idea has evolved into what it is now because of the input of others.

For the fun of it, I put v13 on demo for the NYO. It pulled 59.5 pips. GU.
Worked perfectly. ONe hour and 17 mins.
I like it!
PS- I'm not suggesting that anyone do this. It was just for fun to see the EA in action.

inkuumba, chill man and show a little appreciation...

If you want to tinker with the code use v9 as its practically identical to v13 just without the bells and whistles

If a trade does not close for 24 hours and the next session begins, will the robot open another trade in the same or opposite direction? I was curious because I was going to open a demo account at IBFX, but I know they don't allow hedging. So if the bot attempts a trade in the opposite direction of the existing order, it won't get triggered.

What other brokers are you U.S.-based traders successfully using with this EA? The new NFA rules have made finding a decent broker a real pain for us.

Thanks,
Scott

I have been having the same errors with version 11 & 12. Still don't know where I have gone wrong.
I'm sure others have them as well, they probably looking in wrong

place in Journal, but Experts TAB got full of those error.

The problem is, that you cannot leave the station, cause TSL doesn't

working and you can wake up into huge loss, if leave MT4 unattended.

Can anybody else check their Experts Tab???

Thanks.

Sky...i have found that trailing stops work differently from broker to broker. TS's work fine with forex.com, but on fxcm-uk, i dont think they work properly, so i try not to use them.

Hello.

Afflicted if I put a question of beginner or if the answer were already given.

I would like to be sure that my adjustments are correct.

I live Brussels (Belgium), I use Alpari and the session of Tokyo opens at 2:00

GMT +2 (summer-time) adjustments of origins.

Which will be the adjustment for the time being of winter, GMT +1?

Are my parameters correct?

Thank you by advance and good trades too all

I have my hands full with two projects at the moment, otherwise I would do it, but we need a FAQ.

To answer your question Mr. Bosh, this comes up every few days & while the EA doesn't work for 2009, it does for 2010.

Only for 2010?

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...
Sky,

As a temporary workaround, try setting the OrderModifyMillisecondDelay option to 0 and let me know if that helps.

Piptician

So Piptician is the Author now?? What has he done to the code that it is now private. As i recall I suggested a way around missed trades using retries. Suppose I want that to be made pulbic.

Making the code private is not in keeping with the spirit of the thread nor the spirit of FF.

just my 2 pips

Hmmm... I feel a rant coming on ...

I've spent a considerable number of hours completely rewriting the code so that 1 EA can be used instead of 3, it does error checking on the numerous parameters and combinations of parameters, it handles trade server errors including retrying missed trades. With Tokyo13 it runs on 5min charts and annotates fractals, moving average directions and gives you 3 thumbs up if everything is aligned for a trade. I've made all this available for free and people are making real money from it.

So how is this not " in keeping with the spirit of the thread nor the spirit of FF" ? I think you'll find there are very few on this thread who will agree with you

What are the red and green figures on the H1 please?
If you mean what are the red/green triangles, blue arrows and thumbs all about on the 5min chart then see post 5411:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=5411

Things moved on a little from that point but, the descriptions of what the red/green triangles and orange bar depict are correct. Since then 2 blue arrows were added to show the directions of the 10 period SMA and the 197 period SMA (both up or both down means they are aligned). The three thumbs indicate aligned SMA's, aligned 15min fractals and aligned5min fractals. If you have 2 blue arrows pointing in the same direction and 3 thumbs up then a trade will be initiated.

To see this in action try running the tester with the start date set to last Saturday, the EA set to Tokyo13, the Period set to M5 and the Visual Mode checkbox checked. Run the tester and a 5min chart will appear (you may need to fix the chart scale so that you can see what's going on at the top of the chart). The tester will simulate the ticks for Sunday until today. When the current bar reaches the red line all these annotations will magically appear. Initially the last 2 thumbs may be pointing down but as the 15min/5min fractals line up then will point up and the trades will fire.

In fact, I recommend everyone give this a try as it is quite fun to watch things unfold

Regards,
Piptician
