Would you mind doing remote assistance or using TeamViewer?

I hate team viewer and will not install it.

Set OpenTradeTimeSlippageMinutes=0,
attach the EA to a M1 chart and put the OpenTradeTime 2 minutes
into the future, then you will get the log within the next 3 minutes
and post it.

And tell me what you see displayed on the chart before the OpenTradeTime.

We are getting there.

Make sure you choose the correct time. It must be according to the MarketWatch where the broker server time is shown, not your local time.

Use the new attached EA.

And tell me your local time and the broker server time when you attach the EA and post again the new Journal.

The EA does not even go into the section where it attempts to open an order because a condition is not ok and the new EA will print the error into the Journal.

cyber1 and nubcake are correct.
You have to read instructions about Mt4.
How to use indicators and EAs.

First read and learn the basics about Mt4 and maybe about Forex too, then
you will know how to copy an EA into the experts folder and how to attach it to a chart.

Nubcake, you can count on me to TRY and ignore you and i'm positive i'm not the only one who's TRYING to circumvent your wide spread belligerent trolling as well. Aside from the Troll of Trolls, i appreciate everyone else giving their time. Particularly fxtr51. If you want to ignore this thread please feel free to ignore. I'm just trying learn. I know how to attach .mq4 files, and i know how to use indicators. I don't know about .exe files.

I got the open time correct as shown in these screen shots but no trade was recorded and non still yet.

The answer is on your second screenshot.
Although it is hard to see anything on it, I was able to read this:
"Tried to buy but bid < mPrice "

What does this tell you ?
Why donīt you choose another mPrice ?

What is your broker ?
Is it ECN ? Then you will get Error 130 anyway when it tries to open a trade.

Another thing: An ex4 file of an EA belongs into the Experts folder.
Then restart Mt4 and you will see it.
That is the EA.
And you just attach it to the chart and set the inputs.

I posted the ex4 because you managed to get errors when compiling the mq4 I posted.

I now have modified the EA and it will now print all messages to the Journal. This way we finally will see why it doesnīt open a trade.

Please use the version 3 which is attached only.

again, just delete my code and save everyone your troubles! you are undeserving of the trivial effort i put into writing this.

i'm now just watching the side-show as others try to educate you on the utmost of basics, not realizing they are wasting their time. troll on mr new username, and enjoy using my code while you do so.

I did what you told me and MT4 crashed after it gave me this error message. I restarted MT4 and the EA was attached. I then opened up properties and inputs and it crashed again after giving me the same error message. For whatever reason, FF isn't letting me copy and paste the text of the error message so i copied it to a notepad file.

I used the TimeBasedEA-1_mod and adjusted the pip slippage to 10 pips. Afterwards, it told me " Buy/s attemped!" which i haven't seen yet. The price stayed with in the 10 pip range of the mprice but no trades were recorded.

I asked you what broker you use.
No answer yet.

I asked if your broker is ECN.
No answer yet.

I predicted the error 130.

I attached version 3 and asked you to only use that version.
You used version 1 instead.

You should update your mt4.
Google: "how to update metatrader4" or something and find out how to do it.

My broker is Gain Capital(forex.com) and they are a market maker, not an ECN.

Version 3 crashed my MT4 with the error message i posted.

I re downloaded from http://www.metatrader4.com/traders and not my broker. When i installed it didn't auto replace my prior mt4 installation. It just made another with a different icon. I tried out the EA on the new MT4 platform and nothing happened. I have a feeling i'm just gonna have to change brokers.

"Nothing happened" is impossible.
What does it say in the Journal ?
Did you allow live trading ?
I doubt it.

You have to learn how to use Mt4 first.

Strange things happen at your place.
On my brokers, the EA works, on yours it crashes Mt4.
On your new platform "nothing happens".

This is a never ending story because you have no idea about Mt4.
Why donīt you first read the basics about Mt4 ?
Where ?
Just google "how to use Metatrader" or something like that.
Then read and try to understand.
You have to learn how to activate EAs, how to update the platform,
how to attach an EA and how to read the Journal and such things.

I will not answer you anymore. You are driving everybody crazy because you donīt study the basics . Why donīt you study it ?
