The default box times are from 05:00 to 08:00 GMT .If your broker is GMT +0, you do not have to change anything.

Mak,
if you're GMT+1, then you're in-sync with London that is DST currently, thus GMT+1. This means you should use 5-814 for box determination, not 6-914 .... you're 1hour late ;-)

This will be fixed soon.

As you can see, your _broker time is at GMT+0, while you are at GMT+2;
Charts are using Broker(=Server) time.
You box is shifted 1 hour LATER than Mer's settings.
You should subtract 1h from your box and session times settings (which i can't see on your pics...) to reach Mer's settings.

Yes I understand that...but then is Mer's manual wrong, or not?



I have to set the time to 04:00 to 07:00 to become the same range like Mer!

Squalou...I hope you can fix this missunderstandings with the new EA-version

Mer's "manual" in post #1 is not up-to-date: he has changed the box settings to be 6:00-09:14 (GMT+2).

That is confusing indeed...

If the first fix is not enough, here is the "delay" fix as well:
you might want to play with the "2000" (=2seconds) duration if it won't work...

I would like to suggest a way to control a runaway martingale sequence that could be incorporated within the system and EA.

Squalou and all,
....... A different EA will need to be written for backtesting ... or will need to code a backtesting mode in the EA (not really complex but is it worth it ?)
