Hi Jiva,
Do you know if seeing a M15 up arrow on the GMT22:30 bar AND seeing a M5 down arrow on the GMT23:15 bar should satisfy the entry criterion for long?

I would think so but nothing happened on V4a. My understanding is that based on the fractal arrows seen, the EA should enter at GMT23:30 which is the 3rd bar from the M5 down arrow on the GMT23:15 bar .

Up arrows, down arrows, it gets little confusing. Down arrows point up and up arrows point down..... yikes.

My understanding is: the fractal needs to appears on top of the candle (which ever way it's facing, yahhh) the fractal on top of a candle needs to appear on the 15 min, and the fractal on the bottom of a candle then needs to appear on the 5 min for a long entry.
(vice versa short). I think that's right....

Thanks Jiva.
On my charts, UP arrows are always ON TOP of a bar and DOWN arrows on BOTTOM of a bar (btw, UP arrows are called Fractals Up and vice versa; the annotation show up if you place your mouse over them)
I have the same understanding as you as far as conditions for entry are concerned. It is mentioned clearly in the pdf doc put up by Geoff months ago.

If so, very strange why trade did not trigger for IBFX...........

only version that triggered was v13. I had some of the older versions set up but none of them triggered (I didn't have any of the camv series going)
That happened a couple of nights ago. moving averages all lined up and no trades, this was before v13 so no way to compare that (maybe back test if you trust that!)
anyway looks like a good trade for v13.
I entered manually and jumped out with 6 pips. I just don't want to sit and watch the screen all night moving stops etc.
Guess I will only use v13 from now on... robot can do the work and watch the screen all night.
Thank Geoff and piptician.

FYI Scott (thehenryfarm), v12 of the EA worked perfectly on GoMarkets demo this morning (opening 3 trades and trailing SL working perfectly). Yesterday it must not have actually triggered a trade. Whatever problem I had with the older versions seems to have gone away. I ran 3 different copies of the EA to test all combinations of the mini/micro settings & they all opened trades.

It's even sitting on a tidy profit at the moment! Thanks Geoff & piptician for making this freely available!

Geoff, if you want to update your list of brokers, GoMarkets (Aus) has a GMT offset of +2 (which doesn't change throughout the year). Thankfully Japan doesn't have daylight savings, that would really start to complicate things!

could it be that the broker has a stop requirement for more pips than the ea is asking for the trailing stop?

like preset1 stop was trailing 9 pips but my broker wanted 10 pips minimum so requests for the trailing stop were denied?
just an idea.
There are experts on this thread who can answer more authoritatively.

Bravo! You got it, but this seems to be only problem for those

Brokers which are running data on direct GMT time like IBFX.. Those who are in + or

- compare to GMT, should be fine, cause they probably adjust their offset accordingly.
Sky, I beg to differ.
It is brokers who stick to GMT +0 whole year round like IBFX that do not require changing in the offset setting. Whether it is summer or winter in US/UK, the charts shown in IBFX MT4 are always GMT+0 and since Japan open is also always GMT0:00, we need to only specify Broker Offset = 0 ( Start Hr = GMT23:00 is hardcoded in V4a).

Any differing opinion to mine?

sorry if this has been asked..........

I'm using the latest version with set file number 3. Curious to know if I must put the ma's and fractual indicators on the chart or if indicators are built into the EA. If so.....anyone know why I'm not getting any arrows or anything on my chart. Just seeing the comments and the one red line. No ma's or arrows.

thx,
todd

Been reading the thread and back tested Version 13. Forward testing on FxPro and Alpari UK. No trade on alpari UK last night and FxPro gave an error regarding invalid trade volume. I have it set to use high risk money management - does it not round up or down to the nearest mini lot when calculating lot size?

Had V13 on Demo while keeping V12 on Live, both with Alpari UK.

No trade on live with V12 last night.

V13 on Demo went Long at 01:12 with 1.5098 and currently -27 pips going south.

Both are 2 order presets with MM.

Hello!
Tonight on V13 ( with fixed lots 0.1)
Fxpro live #2 trades at 23:10 GMT ( TP 22;TP 0.1)
Fxpro demo #3trades at 23:10 GMT ( TP 22; TP 10.20; TP 0.20)
Really amazing
all charts, thumbs,fractals etc. correctly functionning
alerts for "order modify millisecond delay" in "expert/tags" but nothing on the charts and all seems OK
I only notice that it is difficult to see the green gain numbers without sqeezing the chart
A great BRAVO for Geoff and Piptician

If you want mini lots you should set "allow micro lots" to false.
