ok guys, just posted a new version, which i tested during last couple of days

have a couple of more ideas to feed, but will wait for now

it might looks difficult to set up but this is the only way what we have in Mt4 right now
hopefully IFBX will approve MT5 in the near future and it will be much easier to manage complex options and settings

Could you fresh my memory? The pending orders expire at some point, under what conditions?

Sashasan,
Could you post a pdf file explaining each of the input settings on post #1. It's getting a bit difficult to follow. That way when you add something new it could be all in one place.
Thanks for your support!

That's a lot of work , maybe someone else could pitch in and produce a .pdf. Maybe someone that needs or wants such a doc could take the time to put it together as that would be a great learning tool as well.
I am quiet sure Sashasan has more pressing things to do .

Now That would be good support.... considering all the time and effort Sashasan is already giving to everyone here....

Thanks for YOUR support.....

if market goes opposite, they will be trailed back until will reach the "expiration price" which is ReverseMove value set up in pips (so you opened buy stop at 1.55000, market goes down, if ReverseMove = 100 pips and order will reach 1.54000 and will not triggered, it will be deleted)

The take profit adjust hour is suppose to sell the first open order taken at the number of hours that the trader set in the ea, correct. So I typed in 3 hours and backtested, so it should have sold the position on a 15 min chart at 12 - 15 min bars, instead it went down to hit the sl of 140. Is this the way this setting works? This feature is suppose to control the amount of dd,Correct?

btw, since these versions have no anything in common with Tokyo setup anymore it will be renamed to GEOFFs MTFSM Setup (Multi Timeframe Fractals and Simple Movings Setup) from next version

yes, you should see expiration time at the very bottom line of a message, when orders just opened, it will change take profit of a 1st order (or all, it depends on settings chosen) after # of hours

I have seen this on the bottom of the message , but if the first order never went into profit and just went the oppisite way would it still work. It may have went into just a little profit, not positive. I ran a backtest and It went well past the three hours and did not sell on the first buy order. Maybe its something I am doing wrong.

yes, because this option changes take profit of the existing orders and those orders will be closed only if a new take profit level will be reached

what you are talking about is my next idea to add - it will be a pips counter which will close all opened orders when summary amount of pips is reached

I have to learn to code this myself. Your work is splendid and I can't wait to see the timer start kicking in to potentially limit losses.

Has anyone backtested to see what the appropriate amount of time should be on the change, 5 hrs, 8 hrs, 2 hrs (:-).

This ea is very profitable, the problem that needs to be corrected is the draw down, we know the ea needs that 140 to breath, if we had some kind of % indicator of holding the position or like you said install a collective pip counter to end the dd before the stop loss. I ran a set of numbers of tp 15,17,22 with a sl of 60 it ran very profitable for a good while until a series of dd ,
made me look for new settings , I think the 22,25,28, tp is great , but the profits are not big enough to cover the 140 dd. What your ea needs is some testing time and maybe one or two more features, that will decrease
the dd , maybe you have already have sovled this problem with the new features, to eary to tell. Great Job.

orders opened at 2010/1/4/ at 12:00 (so the time when take profit has to be changed is 17:00), after 2 buy limit orders became buy (records 27 and 28 - what really does not matter buy it or limit buy) records 29-31 show modification of the take profit of all 3 orders to 10 pips at 17:00 to a new take profit value 1.62318 since order open price was 1.62218
