Thx for you response!
The second option:
Now, EA work 24 hours, every hour.
I want to choose when EA was working (In what period of time).

for example, parameter in EA:

TradeHour 0am-1am=true/false (if true, EA sets market orders from 0am to 1am)
TradeHour 1am-2am=true/false
TradeHour 2am-3am=true/false and etc. till 24 o'clock.

As a result, you can configure EA to work (sets market orders) only in specified intervals.

ok, you mean to set up particular time periods while ea will be turned on and off?

do you think it will increase the profitability?

i mean usually this kind of thing is used when ea earns during active hours and looses during intersessions time

I donīt know if I did something wrong, but got no signal today in any of the 5 pairs I use to follow.

This is my setup for v5.0

Yes, I dare swear, modul of time periods is very important.

no, i did not visit the original thread for a long time, this idea was taken from my another robot
So what this actually does then? Like now my trades underwater

and about 60 pips away from SL, not much we can do here, other

than wait till Dollar Tanks again tomorrow afternoon, after FOMC.

it looks like a some sort of martingale method which i dont think is appropriate here since we have a huge stops

i will think about the first one - but how you will figure out which hour enter and which not? you can easily miss the trend!

what the price did you get in?
around 59800?

this method is mostly for ranging markets, which i have seen a lot in backtest since jan 2010
today's case is a different one and the pips counter will save you from the deep negative (if set it up to 3 hours for example)

Exactly that the Market Order 1 about 5980 then Limit #2

5960

And limit #3 5940

Or so, Anyway this is a big advantage compare to original EA

as total SL pips would be much lower I hope SL will hold, that's

my bet

Well this is the last version V5? Yes, real money,

but micro lots, no worries here. . I made enough profit

to cover few SL hits..

I'm still looking for profit..

Cable should stop dropping after NY Equity Market close..

You mean there is never version coming out?

Thank you to Geoff, Shan, Sky and others for all the great work.

On Friday I entered my first demo trade using version 4.5 at 1.59785. Was stopped out today for -140 pips X 3 just before the price bounced off the 197 SMA.

Better things to come!

Good day, Sashasan!

For each currency pair has its own clock optimal volatility. I want to find out. It's profitable.
