Tanks for this great system
NY open today is my first trade with the EA
It opened and hit the stop -1 pip

so what happen with you?
what is your results?
Thank you all.
I was stopped out on London and New York, only running demo's right now, will be glad when these spreads settle down, seems like the only brokers I can find right now that have spread under 1 pip are ECN brokers. I don't really want to have to pay a commission if I don't have to, will see what the new year brings and decide
May the pips be with you!

You might want to increase the Stop loss to more than 5 pips, seems like your broker requires more pip distance to current price.

Hmmm. I have SL at 15 pips (will test more). Can be this problem with digits (4 or 5)? Same problem with GoMarkets and IBFX AU.

tried the EA it went long and got stopped out, did it do the same for everyone else?

also, is there a way to change times and let it 'run'? I find if you try to alter to try certain other times it disables and says theres a problem.

i understand its good to have that, but can it have a disabled true/false option to select it depending on the application? (to give users a choice).

I am using it on a 5 digit broker no problem even setting SL to 2 pips.

check false on checkhourofattach and you can define both the london and new york open to different times.

Same here, 2pip stop with no problems on FinFX and 3 pip stop on IBFX. May be something with the broker? I still can't get it to take a trade on MBT, anyone using it there? Me last error message was for trade volume, settings seem ok, will continue to play with it.

I got it working for MBT, trying setting the decimal digits settings from 2 to 1 if you are using the percentage of equity. Now if we could just define 9.30 for the NY to take advantage of the stock market open.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'll ask my friend if he can look at the code and see if he can mod it for 9.30

Hi guys,

It seems there's been quite a bit of talk over the EA I wrote. just a couple of things I want to make clear.

This is Tony's thread and it is about his strategy. One of the key idea with this strategy is everyone goes in at the same time to hopefully push the market in the same direction (wishful thinking? perhaps... but people used to laugh at the concept of flight)

So I coded the EA to work on his concept. Especially about the entry.

the "CheckHourOfAttach" value is there to restrict the accidental attaching of the EA on the hour of a session.

Imagine session opens at 8:00, you attach or run the EA starting at 8:03 or something. during that 3 minutes, price might have gone up or down past the 2 pip trigger... Tony rules clearly states that the tracking of the 2 pip trigger should be started right at the opening of a session, not after. if you've only started looking after the session has started, it should be considered that you've missed the boat and should wait to catch the next one.

That's why I coded in CheckHourOfAttach as a failsafe.

And those Floating stop and Jumping stop mambo jumbo are just sugar coating MM logic that I left in there cos I was lazy to take them out. According to Tony's strategy, you won't need those. just SL (bring to BE) and TP will do fine. you either win at your Target, lose a little or lose nothing.

As to talks about changing the session times to 9:30 instead... Is this Tony's idea?

my EA does not allow that because I've coded it to track hours, and not minutes. It's a simple mod if you want minutes but please do so on a separate thread. My worst fear is to have the EA or discussion related to my EA causing pollution to a good System's thread.

If there is going to be deviation from the trading concept that Tony has provided, please start a new thread and we discuss there. Let's keep this one clean and just focus on the what the thread starter started.

Many thanks.

Best regards,
Zen

Hope you folks caught the NY long on the EU, floating 70 pips as of now from 1.3232. This is what this system is all about. Happy New Year to all.
