I'm making it a trading rule not to do that. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
As good as Geoff's ea is, there will come a time when it takes a loss.
Let's face it we do use stop losses...
If I have to take a loss, I'd rather it be
because the ea got it wrong than I gambled and lost.
It's just a little quirk I've developed.
Entering manually like that is just too borderline for me... I've done it before and it just doesn't sit well with me..
Individual tastes and preferences I guess.

It may not be a good idea, but we missed the trade with FXDD so narrowly and my trading rules for regular trading all lined up so I took it, and watched it closely. GBPUSD is one of the 4 pairs that I trade manually.

Hi Richard,

There will be an error message buried in there somewhere - just need to keep looking. Try opening the log file in a text editor (Notepad) and search for the text "Tokyo".

Regards,
Piptician
Hi Piptician:

I just tested and found out that Tokyo 15 works nicely on my new forex.com demo and still don't know why it wouldn't on fxcm. Account switching is in progress, for which I also want to thank Flamenco for sharing his vps experience.

Thanks again to Geoff and your continuous effort to improve this great ea.

Richard

Been demoing for a while.. wanted to go live today. Since I was on FXDD, it didn't took the trade and I didn't want to go manually.

However, it is good to know that EA did its job for other brokers.

I did the same as Lawgirl: a manual short for 25 pips - in at 1.5058, out at 1.5033, $5 per pip. Obviously I could have taken more pips, but $125 profit on a Sunday night is absolutely terrific considering my account balance at the present.

Alpari UK Live Classic with V15: +22, +50, +44.1

Great result

Only thing is that after TP2 was hit I manually set a 15 TSL on the third trade. I could not remember what was said about the 3rd order TSL and I felt there were too many pips to leave on the table (65+pips). Otherwise I think it would have hit TP this morning.

Can someone remind me what the EA is supposed to do with the third TSL please?

V15 took three shorts which all ended in fat profits on Alpari. No trades were opened on FXpro though, I noticed there were old ticks in the journal. Since the day I'm fooling with this EA I noticed the best feed is on Alpari, while FXpro trades randomly even if there isn't a strong trend.

I agree with skyzer, the news filter is pointless. I would rather add an option to disable trading on holidays, that would be useful.
