0.69 Lots - FNG Spike
1.90 Lots - Straddle

Had a 30.7 pip entry slip (Max Slippage 20 pips), and amazing closes the trade for me for about -8 pips

The other trade was due to my spike trade with FNG which I exit manually @ candle close, since BE wasn't activated

I wish I did the trade on CADJPY though, cos I never thought the USD CPI news would affect USDCAD move

{quote} No!!! you can't drag and drop, since it's news & everything happens so fast. That's where the FNG auto-click comes in to do the necessary clicking on the script

{quote} {image} I set the deviation range 3 times & direct the clicks to the same scipt-spot (trying as much as possible it's on the same spot, say on the hash tag before the script name). i do it thrice just in case FNG skips 1 click, so i should be able to get @ least 2 clicks

awww, thanks

Buy on GU, Sell on GJ

What a whip. Though it activated my BE and trailing stop up to about +3 pips on GU, ended up with about -24 pips exit slip. Reversal was even faster than my script could close out the GU trade. News release was kinda late though

Unfortunately, GJ trade couldn't make up for it

Hi Allan,

I found that indices are more volatile. But not quite sure on slippage and spread widening.
Will this system be able to run on index? I tried the same setting but it doesn't trigger anything.
Do you have any experience on straddling indices?

Hi everybody, I need some help.
This morning, I ran the EA to trade the swedish news, and the pending order doesn't move. On the log, I have this message "10:29:47.330'(account)': modification of pending order #768...... sell stop 0.01 USDSEKm at 8.39741 sl: 8.44552 tp: 8.29741 -> price: 8.49700 sl: 8.54700 tp: 8.39700 failed [Invalid S/L or T/P]"
I don't know what is this invalid S/L or T/P, I managed to have a pending order at the difference they specified.
I use real mini account at exness.
Thanks for your reply

Could you please explain? I don't really get it how you do it. The sell positions were started by the AmazingEA? And what are the buy stops? I see they worked as a stop losses.. Anyway I'm confused Please explain...

And how come you've let most of the Sells trigger before the time of the news? Isn't this exactly what we usually try to prevent because before the news it can go in the wrong direction?

I have made a couple of small changes which are affecting the way I'm using the EA. Most of you won't notice the difference

Version 5.20 Modified by Alan Prothero
Fixed: EA was modifying orders early when PointsGap or SecBAO is 0
Added: DeleteOnShutdown parameter. If false then orders must be manually removed.

As you know when we put Amazing EA it open sell and buy pending orders. Then according to my setting both go live when 30 seconds left for news (to avoid the freezing time which my broker is doing sometime). So some time it goes live early which ever hit first by the CMP. Now, as you mentioned that open the order early could go wrong direction, for this we are not sure which news and what time news create backlash. So its 50 50 chances. But to know that which news is best or important for trading and also go only one direction even before news time, I have Alan provided BEST NEWS ITEMS file which I am testing all the news one by one (of course on Demo account) and updating the file with currency pair and positive or negative pips gain.
I am expecting that I need 2 to 3 months to fully test all the important news and also some those which are in the Alan file and see the result. Then I will upload the file and with my best setting of EA.

Great thread i trade in a similar way . Can someone combine these EA features to the ones in the surge EA. Currently the surge ea does partial close using daily fib levels, Rentry using bollinger bands, hedging mainly for autolots recovery(can be improved by making it open pending hedge trades not market hedge trades) when a trade is opened by its script.
