Sorry for probably asking the same old question, but it's such a long thread that I can't find a quick solution...

I have Alpari-uk classic account, Alpari is +2 GMT during the summer time, and +1GMT during the winter time. But, considering japan is not changing between DLS and normal time, I'm not sure which GMT-offset to use with this EA.

Now I am using +1 and in the summer I used to put +2, but I am noticing a lot of bad trades with this right now, which was not common in the summer with +2 . They don't go all to stop but they often stay all night in a small minus position and the they just break-even with the automatic close (after x hours)

Please give me an advice how to set the GMT for the winter time (non-DLS).
Thank you very much
Lorenzo

I live in Hong Kong and when I use the clock indicator in 1M, it shows that:

Bar: 00:05
Broker: 01:05
Tokyo: 18:05
London: 08:05
New York: 03:05
GMT: 09:05

And when I ask my broker, they told me I should set +0. Is it correct if I set the offset to +0?

I have read a lot of post in this thread and I still can't find the answer.

Happy New Year~

and here is a run I did from Jan 2006 to date with same settings (200 pip spacing between recovery trades and fixed lots). This bags 16500 pips!!! Note that there are only 2 occasions where there is a heart attack inducing drawdown - I'm sure with some fine tuning these can be smoothed out.

I would first verify if you are using an ECN broker or not and if you need to change that setting to true.

Then the other item is to verify the lot size that your broker will take. Most will take a 0.01 lot, but not all of them, some only take 0.1 as a lot size.

I know that Geoff wants to keep this thread to GU only, but has anyone done any backtesting on other pairs, eg EU, EG, AU?
If so, with what results? And what settings (particularly start times)?

Thanks a lot dryclean. Much appreciated.
Is this as an additional entry point or a substitutional one?
What results have you attained?
Similar or better than V17?
Have you per chance tried EJ?

v17 Alapri and FXDD

What have you found
I traded live GU Tokyo for 6 months last year with acceptable results. V17 on defaults.

In October last year I tested various other pairs on demo. Again Tokyo open on defaults except for AU where the start was altered to 5AM GMT.

Attached is a statement of a demo account on which I try out various EAs/strategies. You will see that for the limited period that I tested on other pairs, the EA gave excellent results.

I was wondering whether other pairs could or were being traded successfully. Or whether mine was just a fluke experience.........

I have not backtested for any other pairs........Have you? With what results? Are you per chance forward testing other pairs? Again,with what results?
