Hi Velli

I don't believe I released v5 for use with EURUSD, others may have used that
version to test other pairs because it was easy to change various parameters
and lent itself to testing different ideas.

I would go so far as to say that this strategy will not work on any other pair
than GBPUSD, certainly my limited testing would support this view however,
you have had some success with it so I must bow to your experience!

My view is supported by the fact that the settings are optimised for GBPUSD
so it is doubtful that they would work with...
Hi Geoff,
Sorry for the wrong details. It was by Roman and discussed from thread 1218 and post 1829 onwards and was modified parallel till V7a and then stopped.

Regards

Greed...no, it's the exact opposite, I don't want to hang on for the last pip. In and out..I don't even look back to see what I missed by getting out early. But, I am not going to allow myself to lose the full $8400.

I have Bernard Baruch's philosophy: I don't want to predict the top or the bottom, I just want 1/3 of that in-between, but I want it over and over again.
I share this view, lawgirl21. I set the three profit targets between 22 and 30 pips and monitor the trade closely. I'm in Northern California (grew up in San Diego) so the trade opens between 4pm and 5pm Pacific Daylight Time which is a great time to watch it. My account is smaller so my $/pip is one-tenth yours - temporarily... Love this EA!

I think that I have to take the blame for that release Geoff. It was early days of the thread and we were somehow a small community in comparison to now. Off topic was not an issue at that time but I did not follow up on it as I had some nasty live trading experiences back in May which drew my attention away from the original purpose of the ea and this is to trade GBPUSD in the most successful way.

Hi Roman,
thanks for the clarification. I was bit surprised and was going through the previous posts where i got this ( as i am sure i was following only this thread by Geoff). Hence the delay of my response. you all already posted. I am so slow ....

Anyway what is the status about that EA Roman, I got 2 times loss trades on version 7a

sorry for going away from the main thread and will not write again other than GU...

Glad someone agrees with me. I am in Southern CA, so we are very lucky that the trade time makes it easy for us to monitor. I love this EA too. We are so lucky to have found it, but it took kissing alot of frogs for me before I found Geoff. I bought many of the $99 specials!

Mr Sky.. ridiculously bring me down calling me ..well, forget, I'm not angry with it.
Unfortunately in the same time my fx-angine was broken down.
Now I've got my staff on track and I'm back to optimization Camv5 EA which I believe has got great potential on other TF with different pairs.
That's my point of view about Camv5 and Tokyo even only for GBPUSD .
.
This EA works on Cable only, If you want to proof otherwise, please

post at least 6 month backtesting Graph on any other pair, then

we'll go from there. I run about 100 tests on many pairs and it simply

doesn't work.

Hi Geoff and Piptician,
I still get the same error for version 15 also. no trades initiated from Axis with version 15. but got two trades from V9 ( I am still using it as none of the Tokyo version worked for me AXISODL)....
since stop losses are huge, there are could be only 2 reasons to get an order execution refused from the server:
1) unnormilized prices in stop losses (open price also if order is pending), so need to use a NormilizeDouble() func
2) misplace bid and ask (or buy and sell functions if they are called separately)

any other reason is not in play :nerd:

How you use the EA is entirely up to you, make as much money as possible is
the only advice I can give but you already do that!

Good for you!

Congrats on your wins and thanks for the offer of help, bluemele. I'm sure you agree that the "read the thread" dictum helps to keep the thread size under control. When I can't find the answers I need or understand what I've read, then it's time to ask.

Hi Sky.

I'm not against you at all, trust me please.
On your post and my present post's title is your " statement" which is simply not true.

All what we can say about that EA for sure is that " it doesn't work on other pairs for now" or perhaps with more acceptable results, which doesn't mean it doesn't work at all.
One day somebody can surprise you or maybe with even better ideas about
Tokyo for GBPUSD "ONLY".

To be clear , you know that very well.

Best wishes to you Sky

Mac.

Hey, guys. I haven't chimed in at all yet, but have a question now. I'm using the original Tokyo since it backtested the best for me. But I haven't had a trade yet at all after more than 2 days. Is that normal or is something wrong? My demo balance is only 2000, and I set the lots to 1.0. Is that preventing the EA from wanting to trade?

Dear IBFX users,

Just got news from IBFX that they will be implementing new changes to their system affecting how trades are placed effective 10th July and 17th July for demo and live accounts respectively.

http://www.ibfx.com/Corporate/post/2...rder-FAQs.aspx

Understand that changes entails moving to 5 digits and something to do with how order is placed (not too sure abt this one).

Could anyone tell us if there is any settings that needs to be changed from current settings for 4 digits account? Like ECN settings perhaps?
Thanks

i understood that like they (finally!!!) moved to non rounded numbers in price that gives you more precise value while open and close orders

Now that I have multiple MT4s installed on my PC, I have been bitten by the GMToffset gremlins. To help fend off those nasty gremlins, in the next version of Tokyo, I'm planning on getting it to read an external file containing all the broker terminal names + their assocatied GMToffsets so that the EA can auto-set the GMToffset for you.

To achieve this I need everyones help to compile a list of MT4 broker terminal names and their respective GMToffsets. For each of the brokers listed on page 1 of this thread I need to know what it says in the title bar of the main MT4 terminal window (excluding your account number).

This is what I have so far based on the 5 versions of MT4 I now have installed on my PC (I need to know the full text of the terminal names for all those marked TBD):

"MetaTrader - Alpari UK") return(+2);
"Axisodl") return(0); // TBD
"MT4 ECN powered by ATC Brokers") return(-4);
"CFGTrader") return(+2); // TBD
"CoesFX") return(+3); // TBD
"Fibo Group") return(+2); // TBD
"Forex.com") return(0); // TBD
"Forex LTD") return(+2); // TBD
"FXCM MT4 Trader 4") return(-4); // TBD
"FXCM MT4 powered by BT") return(+1);
"FxPro - MetaTrader 4") return(+3);
"FXDD") return(+3); // TBD
"Interbank FX Trader 4") return(0);
"Marketiva") return(0); // TBD
"Metaquotes") return(+2); // TBD
"MoneyTec") return(+3); // TBD
"Netdania Charts") return(-8); // TBD
"North Finance") return(+2); // TBD
"Oanda") return(-5); // TBD
"Orion") return(+4); // TBD
"Real Trade") return(+2); // TBD

Thanks in advance

I wrote a library called LibGMT.mqh (search in programming forum).

It uses Windows calls to figure out true GMT regardless of broker (assumes your Windows computer is set to proper time & time zone), and computes local time in NY, London & Tokyo, including daylight savings corrections up to about 2020 or so.

Remember that some dealers will change their time offset with daylight savings and others will not. Also daylight savings doesn't start/end on the same days in USA and UK, and Japan doesn't do it at all.

I believe the library is pretty useful for EA's which are going to work live: you cannot afford any dumb operational errors.

It does not work for backtesting of course.

You will need to adapt EA to use it.

Thanks, sounds useful. However, it's the broker's GMT offset that matters for this EA and unfortunately you can't get that via MQL4.
