Another London Breakout method

Just addaded to the first post new 4 and 5 digits zip files.
Choose what you prefer.

hi,how ccome there is no single trade is taken while iam performing backtest from 1/1/10 until today?

Are you using the correct dgits expert?

4 digits.zip on 4 digits platforms
5 digits.zip on 5 digits platforms

Dear sir now i'm trying 4digits but nothing -- again "zero divide"

5 digits IBFX mini. Maybe you should check first if orders does exist, before

doing a loop?

total = OrdersTotal(); ????????????????????
Num_Order_Long = 0;
Num_Order_Short = 0;


IF (total > 0) { <====================== Is there any orders open???!!!!

for(cnt=0;cnt<=total;cnt++)
{
OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if (OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber()==3)
{ // Controlla il cross e l'expert che ha aperto la posizione
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
Num_Order_Long++;
}
if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{
Num_Order_Short++;
}
}
}

Am I wrong? the method can not work in range period(EU) starting from Jul 23.

Hi Alberto,

Like tpat I would prefer to trade this manually. Is this possible? I simply dont like EA's and mistrust them completely. I know you and others feel differently and respect that, but I like being on control of my trades.

thanks!

Sensei.

Alberto.

Interesting setup.

Will check it out.

Big Dog EA requires Punto.mqh to be in the included folder. The new Punto files are now named Punto_4.mqh and Punto_5.mqh. You must rename whichever Punto file (_4 or _5) you want to use back to Punto.mqh and have that file in the included folder.

Isn't that already taken care of in the attachments on post 1?

No, if you look at the code of the EA, it calls for #include <Punto.mqh>
so you must rename the Punto_4/_5 files in the zip to Punto.mqh

dont you have a template for download?

What do you mean by "you must complile the Big_Dog.mq4 in the editor"? How do you do this?

thnx for the system. i think there alot to be said for the london BO, but im yet to find success.

has anyone done backtesting either with the ea or manual. Say every day this year. just to give a win rate.

thnx

Hi Alberto,

You have specified the entry time in terms of GMT.

Is this fixed, or should it be adjusted during non DST periods to maintain the same relationship between the entry bar and the London and European opens?

All the best,
malo

hi alberto,

I got the same problem "zero divide". I'm using ibfx mini 5 digits.

look forward the solution for this interesting methods,

happy trading

It would be great to focus on the actual trading system as opposed to the EA. Its a simple breakout system. Draw the horizontal lines on your charts from the high and low of the periods mentioned in the first post and place entry orders 2 to 5 pips from the high/low of the range.

How can you make the progress of learning this faster?

hi,

i have downloaded the 4 files and added the EA to my 1hr eurusd. however i dont see the box and my back test does now work.

....

I've been looking at the recommended breakout time frame of 3-6 GMT and it looks to me like a better breakout window might be the candles from 1-3 GMT. A breakout of the highs and lows of this time frame looks like it may produce more pips. Anyway, just an observation...=>)

Thanks.
