Nothing.. On what TF you guys place this EA? I use old fashion

style H1 chart.. "LONG TRADE EXPECTED" - I saw this many times

without execution..

It should open no more than 3 positions (assuming you are using the 3 position set file). Did you restart the EA at all or something else happen out of the ordinary ? Did you change the timescale of the chart you attached it to ???

Thanks,
Piptician
Thank you for taking the time to reply! I am using the 3 position file and I did nothing except change the TP to 20,25 and 30. Might have messed something up while doing this, I just do not think I did. I had a similar incident with another version, on FXDD, when I received six positions instead of the usual 3. I'll be very careful next time I change the TP. Just was wondering if there was any other setting that could affect this. Thank you for everything you have produced here!

I was on M5, looking at the thumbs. There were 2 thumbs up, then the 3rd one came up, trade entered @ 23:45 GMT. Alpari UK Demo v17~

Nasty! SL was just hit and loss was 100 pips on each of 3 trades. Strange as I had the SL set to 120 that it should have stopped out at 100. Having hit the SL it is now rising! Forces at work here that know I am trading!!

At what price was your trade entry?
update: you must have been filled between 1.58677 - 1.59081 to be stopped out at 100 pips. I think 120 pips s/l would not have been reached, something must be wrong if you went out with 100 pips each o.o

currently floating -50pips on each position.. but expect GU to rise soon!

I want to try v17 on an ATC Brokers demo account, which is an ECN broker.

Do I have to set "ECN" to true?.

Some people report having difficulty getting the Tokyo versions working
with their brokers so have stayed with v9 which they have been able to
get working.

The trading strategy is exactly the same but pipticians coding of the Tokyo
versions is a) Much more advanced than my coding, and b) Includes much
more error checking and "bells and whistles".

If you can use it, Tokyo v17 is probably more stable and reliable!
Good morning Geoff and all traders.

No trades over night with V17 Alpari UK-demo but it's fine.
As you know I'm still V9 user on Alpari UK live.
Can I hope and ask you to be so kind, and arrange, as you did already with "Time exit option on OverN-V9a.mq4", put on "Tokyo open time" vertical line and "entry order orange rectangle" on chart , please.
I use the Simple V9.mq4 EA with set 22, 28 up to 10:00am London session
quite successfully since month and is very stable.
Great thanks in advance.

Mac.

The chart shows 12 months back test using Alpari demo account at 0.1 lots
with the 3 order option.

Hm, my backtest show better results with v16. I did tests for v9a, v16 and the latest v17 (default settings, 0.05 lots) from 01.02.2010 - 30.07.2010 using Dukascopy tick data (99% modeling quality).

Another interesting thing is that backtesting on 5MN and 1H show completely different results (pict. 4 & 5). My understanding was that it didn't matter which TF (5MN, 15MN or 1H) you attach EA, the outcome should be the same. Now, I don't know if this difference is in backtesting only or it would be the same in real time, but it would be good to check this in forward tests.

Testing with 90% modeling quality is really not that good for this type of strategies, you'll find why in the article attached.
