Do like what I did, either use a notebook or asus eee with 8hr battery life, or I modified a normal PC UPS with a 100VA truck 12V battery which last about 8Hr with a normal PC.

Quoting lolbin7
3 longs @ 1.58911 and 1.589116
TP1 +22 @06:35 GMT
TP2 +50 @07:37 GMT
TP3 +19 @08:56 GMT

I wasn't stopped out at TP2 @1.5910ish because my computer was off so S/L didn't modify! There was a city wide power outage for the last 2 hours! I couldn't believe it, I was so worried about the trade and no cyber cafe around my house had power :S But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because TPs hit! Want to say thank you to Geoff and everyone else for this EA

Have a question, I have to open a alpari us account , I tried to open a uk account but they will not do it. I wanted to run a different ea that hedges, if you live in US ,only US accounts,fxcm allows a uk account but need $2,000.00 to open standard account, then have proof of haveing a prior mini account with a different broker to change it to a mini account. So ,what would be the GMT start time for New York time est. is it -4 ?

Hi Geoff and all

Used your EA (1st one somewhere in April or May) on my live account with great success. Then everything bombed out....don't worry everything meaning all hardware/software...not your Ea....

After weeks of struggling swearing and sweating I am up and running again. When checking this thread to download EA I see that you have been a real "busy ol chap".

GREAT STUFF!!

My problem: what version now?? I tried to download as per post 1...It downloads as attachment and that is as far as I get.....

Any suggestions?

Took me a whole day to work through thread...I might have missed it..even just post no will help....and don't fear....I have no questions regarding gmt/edt....been there..done that..!!

Thx so much.

Hi lawgirl21

I thought you must be on vacation!

Are you still making big wins?
No, no vacation for me this summer..will have to wait until fall. I am having great success Geoff..may be able to leave my day job and get out of California before long...my prayer.

I am still trading the same with your EA as I was. Took a big loss on that Black Friday a couple of weeks ago, which had to happen sooner or later, but now have almost recovered from it. Thanks for asking.

That's weird. i would think they would perform similarly since logic is same. 16 just more code cleanup and visual features.........
Stifland -

I had three -140 pips trades on July 16th. I can't remember if I setup something wrong...probably did. Anyway, since then I've been up +356 Pips.

So, since then, both EAs have been positive

I am hoping to do the same (I really hate my day job). Can you give us some more detail of what exactly you are trading? Is it just the EA and the manual EA and big lots?

thanks

p.s....because of your suggestion, I did trade Sunday night and won......but I did not get trades last night on fxcm UK.

Geoff and Piptician,

Just like many others here, thanks are not enough for our appreciation for your efforts with this EA and patience with our enquiries

I have been using all the versions and manual indicators to great effect.

When using the manual version I noticed something which I wonder might be useful to add to the EA. When the SMA's are in agreement, the EA takes a trade and it seems that in 99% of the time the SMA's stay in agreement until the trade hits TP . However I have noticed that when manual trading outside of the Tokyo times that once a trade is active and the SMA's later disagree it seems pretty likely that TP is not reached and it is better to move the trade to break-even (assuming they are already in profit of course!) to avoid a SL being hit.

I am by no means an expert and this is just an observation -whether this can be proven I dont know but it might be an added safey net. I hope it makes sense

Cheers
Rich

Interesting Points! Definitely worth exploring! Will go back and check on those very few black days and hope that we can come up with some valuable info.

That's exactly what I trade, Jacob. Geoff's original EA 4:00- 5:00 p.m. PST and Geoff's Manuel EA adding EURUSD.

Hi Geoff,
I have traded this method manualy the past two weeks it has worked very well.

I have been running the ea v16 but as yet had no trades taken.
I am new to mt4,
I dont want to ask a stupid question, but after uploading and adding the ea do I need to change any settings apart from gmt time or is it all automatic, plug in and play?
Please adviise
Thanks
