Hi, I have definitly no trade when a try to backtest this "GEOFFs TOKYO BREAKOUT v3.ex4"...
I have no error message...
I use other strategies very well but not this one. For exemple the original "Simple_H1_GBPUSD_EA.mq4" works very well.

Any ideas? I'm the only one in this case?
Yes, you are the only one, because you spend 5 minutes learning
Forex, and got 1 post only.. Better spend few month/years reading this
forum before trading with real money, unless you don't care losing
all of it.

What Ideas dude??? This EA needs manual confirmation for trade

to be taken.. You cannot use it in backtesting. Got it?

hi sasha...
i've been lurking on geoff thread from V1.0 till now, and made some post there.
i'm glad you made your own thread base on geoff manual.
but i have a problem with the script, the script doesn't open any pending order,
i've try both "BUY STOP" and "SELL STOP", but both script are doing nothing.
there is a message on the journal that tell "2010.07.21 07:33:53 Script PLACE BUYSTOP GBPUSD,H1: removed"
i've no idea about that, can you help me solve this problem

Shasha,
Can you clarify what kind of MA's you are using..

The original method uses Simple MA's .

In your Indicator, Geoff's Manual Setup v3, you refer to BOTH SMA's and EMA's..

In the parameters section it list EMA's while in the on chart notes it list SMA's.

Just want to clarify so I know which kind to place on chart for visual..

thanks
tommy, thanks for pointing out, it will be fixed it in the next release.
of course it's smas in calculation but just the name error in in the indicator's pop up menu

Yes it works great when Demo or playing for Pennies, cause who

cares if you lose 260 pips on penny account.. For me 140 pips stop

loss = No STOP LOSS at all. I'll try set it to something reasonable

like 40 pips and see what's up..

I'm thinking maybe we can ADD STOCH to confirm entry? Like Enter buy above 65 and sell below 25...



P.S

Technically it works great, no errors so far..

Sasha:

I tried it with safer settings during those pre-hours of Tokyo-gmt 23, London-gmt 5 and NY-gmt 13 on fxcm vps using buy or sell stop set at pending 2 (that seems to me just like market order) with my own discretion/judgement to enter. No losers so far, though winning pips are not that spectacular, but good to know that my orders are being managed so well by this EA. I'm a very happy user. Thanks a lot.

Dry Clean. Yes I am using a 140 stop loss. As GEOFF has said that is the optimum setup. If history has shown only 1 loss in 12 months I trust this stop loss.

GB, don't get me wrong. My reference of "not spectacular winning pips" are due to my safe settings. Richard

Interesting.. How come? I use Tokyo from day one and only have few

trades and couple of loses.. 3x140 pip loss will wipe out 1-2 month

profit and no guarantee, that another one will not come around

before that..

Most of wins have been with the manual system. I have been using this since day 1. Also some trades with my own system which you now have.

As I said before I trade the manual system from 7am to 12 noon EST which is the London open and New York times
