Hello. Recently I have noticed that EA at first leaves in the big minus, but then all the same in plus. Also that if to make that EA at first opened the first warrant on a signal of the second through points 20 and the third through points 20.

No trade using V17a on Smart Live Spreadbetters

Hmmm - looked back at 5m & 15m and Fractals appear to have formed also the 10 and 197 were sloping the same way.

Anyone else using v17a not trigger??

Hi, Just installed your new version v 17a, and put on 3 different brokers,
IBFX = 0 GMT, fxdd = +3, Alpari /us +2, the Tokyo start time on Alpari starts in the H1 time fram is correct ?, MY fxdd red start line is 1H behine your Alpari start time and my IBFX is 2 h adead of your Alpari start time, with these settings.
I have tried to change the settings but it sems to get coming up with the same red line start position. I can see all of this on the H1 candle formation. Can this be changed? Maybe Alpari US is a different gmt than UK

Also drawing wrong Lines for session.. Just now draw

London OPEN 9:00, well how about GMT Offset???

Those time values in settings must be adjusted to GMT Offset

If I have GMT -4

then London Open should be drawn 4 hours ago...

Same goes for everything else.. Wrong time Session lines.

Now we have to manually Fix that Time in settings to go around this

Followed this - get the settings but no thumbs or Fractals in the 5m

Perhaps I have to wait for the close of play tonight for those to appear

Apari US Demo V17 - extended the stoptimelimit
12, 12, 13

However, the Drawdowns in the past few days have been EXTREMELY SCARY. I feel that we are going to get hit really hard soon. Anyway to fix this?

Need to add LIMIT or Trailing STOP orders I think with resent activity

Limit orders looks better.. I'd placed all 3 orders 50 pips away from trigger price

and that will cut stop loss by those 50 pips and will equal 90

If Limit Order never get filled, I don't care.. Better have no trade then

420 pips loss. Even if you place orders 10 pips a part this still going to save 20-40 pips

and possibly attached to the profit. I don't know, why place all 3 orders at ones, when

there is 90% of the chances to get better entry.

I'm still tweaking/testing Tokyo18 which supports Calstock's suggestion of using a trailing Pending Stop. Attached is a chart of what you would have got today using this yet-to-be-released version of Tokyo i.e. +22, +14 and +10 with a drawdown of 27.50 per position instead of 49.70 per position.

The previous chart showed what you would have got if the pending stop was placed when the price moved 30 pips away from the normal entry price. The next chart shows what would have happened if the setting was higher i.e. profits of +22, +50 and +10.10 with a drawdown of 12.40 per position instead of 49.70 per position. . Of course, if you set the pending stop entry too high you will miss a lot of trades so, we will need to find the best setting for this using optimization.
