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.
Hi Mac

I'm sorry but I can't add these to v9a, if you want these why not use Tokyo v17 where they are already provided?

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...
"Always remember that when it comes to running this type of backtest whatever broker’s platform you happen to be using is irrelevant.
However if you wish to actually run the EA you backtested with Dukascopy data on a specific broker then you probably will notice a different in performance/behavior as naturally your broker has a totally different price feed.
Using Dukascopy’s tick data is only useful in the sense of seeing what potential the EA has under as ideal as possible market conditions.
So once again when you backtest with Dukascopy data the GMT is 0 and whatever your broker’s price feed GMT setting happens to be is TOTALLY irrelevant."

Hi Mac

Yes Geoff.

I use all Tokyo v15, 16 and now v17 on FXCM, Alpari, Fxpro and SIG demo acc.
Only SimpleV9 latest version with a bit modernised clock (StartTime = 23:00pm; StopTime=8:00am) gave me best result on live micro acc.
Now, thanks to You, I've got V9a which absolutely great for me.
To many cosmetics simply confuse me about behaviour of EA,s during the
tests.
However I'm respectful to your decision and appreciates your hard work you
have been done so far.
Great thanks again for all of it.

Regards

Mac.

I think I know what you mean about the outcome being different on two timeframes.

I had entry on 5MN today, which resulted in 3x S/L. This is v17 on Alpari Demo. I don't think there was an entry for H1 timeframe.

Anyone else has entry today? on 5M or H1?

It's been a devastating 2 days hitting S/L for my micro account T.T

You inspired my on that case, so I'm sorry for my laziness.
I've got it for now, thanks anyway.
I always will respect you Geoff.

He's so cool though, and so smart and so everything. Maybe.....after these 4 yrs those pic's won't matter. Suppose?.... I'd vote for him.

I am really sorry, it is an absolutely horrible feeling especially when we all have such great faith in this wonderfull EA

As an asides, what broker are you on as Alpari UK live didn't take the trade?

I also remember Geoff saying that if the EA had 2 losing trades in a row (on Alpari UK as this is the broker he uses) he would suspect the strategy to no longer work in current market conditions...

On that note, what are the ideal market conditions for running this type of strategy? so maybe we can somehow check the behavior at the start of the week.
Thanks

I called Alpari US twice yesterday to find out what their GMT offset is and got two different answers: +1 and +2. I see that Alpari UK is +2. So I called again today and they said US is +2. They didn't know what the Alpari UK offset is. I told them I was quite sure it was +2. Doesn't seem as though they should be the same offset. Anyone who has Alpari US as your broker: what GMT offset do you have?
