{quote} I got the answer for first question - YES it does, all my trade opening times are right on the hour eg. 11:00, 13:00 and on the open price of new 1 hour bar
Thank-you Erebus, I have CheckOncePerBar set to false and it did open a position on Nzd/Jpy at 11:57 when I activated the EA, seems to be doing what I want.

I am forward testing the Close_Trades_On_Opposite_Signal so will see how it deals with a change in D1 MACD.

The delay doesn't seem to be working properly. I have it set for 6. I show several occurrences where orders were opened closer together than that.
yes...you are right, I also got several trades less than 6h apart....but just several minutes till 1h apart form 6h delay...!
I never lose - either I win or I learn...

On the same pair?
Prices are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

noticed weaknes EURUSD on D1 chart - testing trade only short turn off MACD
Use_MACD_Trend = false

GoShort = true

if I understand correctly EA will open trade based on the WPR settings

I don't think you understand. The delay prevents multiple orders from opening within 6 hours (or whatever your delay is set to) on the SAME PAIR.

Scott, I do understand for the same pair...f.i. EURCAD trades opened today at 10h and 14h...

The time delay is per pair. So you could still get multiple trades open within your trade delay parameter of 6 hours, but it should be for different pairs and not the same pair. Thanks!

Hi Norm, let us know how it works, it should close all open trades for that pair, once a valid trade signal is determined.

Hi TCO, yes I will let you know how it handles the D1 MACD change over.

All the best.

Not sure what to tell you. I have two EURCAD trades opened as well, but one was yesterday and one today (I am using 12-hour delay), so seems to be working well for me.

Hi Scott, TCO

I'm trading 20 pairs, now I have set the option CloseAfterPctProfit to 10% on one pair AUDUSD and immediately the EA closed all 20 positions for that profit of 10%...is that okay so!

Thank you, jdva

If you had profits of 10% of account balance for all open trades, then yes it would close them all. Is that what you were asking about?

Yes, TCO, that was my question...I understand 10% of balance not of equity, thanks!
