Hi Geoff,

In V15, Start Time = 23:00. What should we set for Tokyo Open time?
I understand Tokyo session ALWAYS opens at 00:00 but what is the real meaning of the parameter Tokyo Open?
Should it be 23:00 (when entry is made) or should it be 00:00 (the start time of Tokyo trading session)?

Thanks.

CY

Yeah, trying to point to real problem and potential fix, but message

drowning in useless spam...


"
If your Shortcut named FXCM then your GTM is -4 if it named

FXCM BT then it's 0 and, if you rename the Shortcut or your broker other than FXCM then what?"



How about just compare the freaking clock???

Common now!....

Everything is set already, The Only thing you have to change is your Broker Offset time.
Once you set that properly everything else , timewise, is good to go..

It is that easy..

You are welcome, I'm pretty sure that it's due to the difference

for the SYMBOL PROPERTIES.. ATC has higher values compare to IBFX

In CONTRACT SPECIFICATION..

Check those values in STRATEGY TESTER click on "Symbol properties" button..

IMPORTANT: Piptician, I found what causing that problem

"Each broker has their own rules for how far a stop or limit order must...
Well done Sky, I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is V15 takes into account MODE_STOPLEVEL but not MODE_FREEZELEVEL. It seems to depend on which broker you are with. I use Alpari UK which does not seem to use MODE_FREEZELEVEL, but it looks like you hae found one that does.

Hi Sky,

Well I've managed to reproduce those trailing stop errors with ATC and I've added some extra debug output:

19:56:34 2010.03.10 02:17 Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v15 GBPUSD,M5: @@@@@@@@ MODIFYING STOP LOSS: Tokyo15_S2 Ask: 1.49232 SLadjusted: 0.00220 New Stop: 1.49452 (current sl @ 1.49461)
19:56:34 2010.03.10 02:17 Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v15 GBPUSD,M5: OrderModify error 145
19:56:34 2010.03.10 02:17 Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v15 GBPUSD,M5: Tokyo15 Error modifying trailing stops: Error # 145 : [145] modification denied because order too close to market
19:56:34 2010.03.10 02:17 Tokyo_GBPUSD_H1_v15 GBPUSD,M5: Tokyo15 stopLevel: 0.00009 freezeLevel: 0.00009

From the above you'll see that both MODE_STOPLEVEL and MODE_FREEZELEVEL are 0.9 pips so the 22pip trailing stop is nowhere near this level. Not sure what's going on here but everything looks OK to me ...

Piptician

Hi Sky,

Well I've managed to reproduce those trailing stop errors with ATC and I've added some extra debug output:

19:56:34 2010.03.10 02:17...
With a bit more googling and a bit more debugging, I've figured it out ! It's trying to modify the stopLoss of a short order to:

stopLoss: 1.49451000 takeProfit: 1.49224000

where:

stopLevel: 0.00009
freezeLevel: 0.00009
Ask: 1.49231

The stopLoss is more than 0.9 pips (stopLevel) away from the market so this is OK. However, the position is less than 0.9 pips (freezeLevel) away from hitting the TP so the order can not be modified - it's been frozen.

This is easily fixed and does not effect the end result.

Thanks again Sky for finding this one and putting me on the right track to help me find what the problem was

Piptician

Got two longs for EU and both hit the SL and not a good start....
What version are you using.
I have been demoing with V 14 and got long on 7/6 at 23:22 at 1.2618 and all ended in profit.
I use ibfx
All of my trade have been in profit thanks to Geoff and piptician and everyone else.
Trying out V15 now, thanks piptician and geoff for constantly improving EA.
