When the EA gets activated on a hourly chart, does it trade according to the hourly TF or do you have to change the EA's settings to do that?

It runs on whatever timeframe you load it on. Thus if you put it on the hourly time frame, it runs using the hourly time frame.

The only thing I can see is zk74's very narrow broker margin.

First, average spread for real account is 2, but yours are 0.7

Second, the broker can send you " context busy, no connection,requote sometimes"

I can guarantee you, this EA wont survive on real acc for a week.

But if you use it on H4, that will be another story.

Please be so kind to share your 4hour results.

I just found something I would like to share, when the EA goes below the specified margin percentage it freezes. meaning that even if the price returns to our favor the trades will not be closed.

Do you have to restart the EA every time it reaches its profit target?

Is there a pdf on the method this EA is trading?

I have activated it and it has been running for about six hours now.
It made 26 trades of which one was a loss. very good indeed.
What i do not understand is the EURUSD is in a downtrend and the EA has made 12 Buy trades whilst we are in a down trend. All buys were winners!

So far so good. Caillou v1.10 Edd

Reached 20 long trades so far and EA is heavily in DD, so don't know what others do getting "good" results.
Weird that not a single short trade has been taken the 9 hrs.

Running it continuously blows up your account if you run 0.02 lotsize on a $500.

Confusing is that everybody seems to be running different settings and this can go on till eternity.

I have downloaded the one in post 348 and used it as is. i haven't changed anything.

I have no idea what a set file is. If you can explain more i will post it for you... Sorry.

Caillou v1.10 Edd.mq4 - not doing good. Blew my account up. It was able to make all the buys on eurusd but never any sells. Can someone explain? Back on Cailou 1.02 it seems to open in both directions and close out at a $1 profit. Seems much safer but I guess I'm missing something because it reached max trades and just blew up.

Also tested that version.

As long as certain essential settings do NOT function, like the trading hrs setting, not much use to test this.
