Dave thank you for your attention.
I'll be using your EA with the configuration you posted earlier and every week I will post the results starting next week.
Now I have the following doubts:
1st to use the news filter for 15 minutes before the news the configuration correct?
2nd Pivot to use on a daily basis should I put in the configuration 24?
I'm studying new settings beyond RSI EMA5.
I see a lot of people negotiates with the TDI Red Green leave the suggestion to include in the EA, it is clear to their discretion.
Good weekend

The news hour as well as the news minute needs to be nominated. If you leave the setting at -1, the news filter will be ignored.

The MT4 offset with the Pivot Filter is the time that your MT4 displays relative to GMT. So if the time is 11am on your MT4 and the GMT time is 9am then this value would be 2.

TDI is already built in - TradeClosureMode = 2

If your news release is 9:15 am you would put 9 in the NewsHour1 input. If you set 0, that would mean the news release was at 12:15am MT4 time.

I don't know where your server is situated, but the most MT4 installations are plus 2 not minus 2 for the MT4 offset and I suspect that may be the case for you.

Enclosed is an equity curve example referred to in Post #339. The quick jump up of the red line was the EA closing down all trades because the profit had reached the Take Profit from a starting balance of 8500. (I set 150 for TP and SL)

I restarted trading again at 8650 just for the demonstration. As previously mentioned, re-input your new starting balance and TP and SL values and then delete the dummy buy limit order to restart trading.

You can see this EA in action (running continuously) at the top of the page. If you click on my name at the top of the post you will see 3 other strategies as well.

Hi Dave.

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for all the hard work you have done, and continue doing, och this EA.
I am currently running some optimization simulations on a basic EA cross strategy. Will be exciting to see how it turns out.

Best regards

Hi Dave
Loaded up your new profile this morning and set the closeTrades ea as follows
Attached Image


enabled auto trading and all ea's appear happy but so far has only placed pending buy & sell orders for GBPUSD continous straddle correct me if i am wrong but i would have expected all the continuous straddle ea's to have placed an order for each pair.

and whilst typing this the GBPUSD pending continuous straddle has just placed a sell order but not cancelled the Pending Buy
I have checked the journal but cant see any errors

Wait for some trades to be opened. Continuous straddle only opens trades when the straddle buffer is breached. Also see post above.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I noticed the same and have just found the error that I made when trying to get the new strategy out in time for London open. I do appreciate your early advice

If you look closely, you will see that the pending orders do not have SL or TP. Only when the order is fulfilled does SL and TP get appended. If you look at 11135399 you will see an example of that. Did you by any chance set the TP and SL on the close trades EA at 5100 and 4900 instead of 100 and 100?

Hi dave

Thanks for getting back so quick, i know about the pending orders from previous testing, but if you look above at the active orders the usdjpy is trading without a stop loss or take profit and the pending order for the usdjpy hasnt been cancelled
  • #359
  • Feb 6, 2015 8:23am Feb 6, 2015 8:23am
Dave this is the chart with the active trades and the usdjpy and the TP & SL are showing as 0 and also you can see that the corrosponding pending trade hasnt been cancelled

Sorry. I just realised I was only looking at the bottom chart. There is a very simple answer to your problem. You haven't deleted the dummy buy limit order so the CloseTrades EA must have done it's job.
