Must have been an error as it is blank right now. Been noticing a a fair few errors with FNG server of late. Still great free software don't get me wrong, more than happy with its performance but the servers need to be restarted more and more these days, probably with more people jumping on than previously. Does any one else use Amazing EA to straddle high impact statements and speeches. Been doing this with a bit of success of late with a large swain and largish points away, lower lot size than my normal though as it is a higher risk trade?

I'm confused. I have to try it to understand better. So far, I get that this is some kind of OCO where you have the option to deactivate the CO

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your amazing EA !
I have the questions

1. What if we want to place multiple order? Can we use EA on the multiple graph of same currency?
2. Each order has its own magic number?

Thanks.

Hello Allan,
Thanks for this very nice contribution.
I downloaded and I am testing your Amazing EA, and I realized the EA collect tick data to the "Files" folder.
I would like to know if it is possible to add microsecond information to the date / hour. Like this we would have 15:30:31.320 instead of 15:30:31 multiple times, for example. Regards,

1) Please read the FAQ section Can I run AmazingEA on multiple charts at the same time?

2) The Magic Number is made up of the timestamp for that news, because of 1)

Cheers

Mate, this was due to Slow Wages growth in the US news that came out at the same time. So even though CAD GDP was weak, USDCAD went down.

A different pair would have had 0 whipsaw - like CADJPY for example.

With OCO=false, I lost on the Buy USDCAD, but was well in the money on a Sell. My TP was 1.2940 and it damn reversed within 1 pip of that, and continued to go up due to some other US positive news. 1.2940 was also the 200% Fibo Extension which was what I was aiming for. Unfortunately, I should have adjusted it for spread.

Hi Allan,
Actually there is a way of including milliseconds.
I have used another indicator that does that.
I will find it and post it here soon.

@Alan111S Can you add a new function like "wait x minutes then start trail options" If you can put that in code it will be great i think. Thanks

Here is another code that can provide millisecond precision.
This EA works on both MT5 and MT4...

OK, this would require calling a Windows system file "kernel32.dll" to provide millisecond timestamps, so it is required to allow DLL imports. I think this would slow the EA down and make install more complicated just to provide Microseconds in Timestamps, so I'm not prepared to do that.
