AmazingEA: Straddle Trading Expert Advisor

I have tried, without success, to set up the following simple BO trading system using AmazingEA which would appear to be ideal for the job?
Some days it works but most days the orders are not placed


On 1H chart every day Monday to Friday

At X hrs GMT place BUY Stop and Sell Stop pending orders +/- 25 pips (250 points) away from high and low of the previous Candle only (not previous + present candle)

Can anyone please help?

USD CPI m/m -0.1% 0.0% 0.1%
USD Core CPI m/m 0.1% 0.1% 0.1%

USD Crude Oil Inventories -2.1M 0.7M 2.6M
#US_Oil_V5,M1

This is amazing. Do you base on TrendCCI indicator to pick your trade?

No it's a residual from charts for other purposes. Fully sutomated with AmazingEA. Exits are by an EA, Wheelbarrel Trailing_v1.2. Setting is 40, 1, 40 for forex, 4, 1, 4 for Oil and Gas. Second trades on, all manual. Sorry for confusion.

NZD GDP q/q 0.4% 0.5% 0.2%

nzd news yielded 90 pis gbpnzd and 6 pips nzdusd. Thumbs up ALAN

GBP Retail Sales m/m 0.2% 0.2% 0.0%
Sloppy PA, sloppy decision making (of closing trades at profit).

@ toppo qqq, mine didnt trigger because STWAN is 60.

Yeah, that works as a safety valve. Worked good for you.

USD Building Permits 1.17M 1.15M 1.13M
USD Unemployment Claims 264K 276K 275K
USD Current Account -110B -111B -118B
USD Housing Starts 1.13M 1.16M 1.16M
Weak PA. Got out quickly at any TP. Profit is Profit.

wow so cool,and greattt,you are the best sir,

I use one of the big ones.. And of course the spreads widen and slippages are also a part of the game, simply because when the market is very volatile it can move a lot from the moment your order is sent till the moment it gets executed.

Guys, does anyone know if there’s a schedule for the forecast numbers? I’m just wondering if there’s a price reaction at the moments that the forecasts are released…

From what I have seen the forecasts are done over the weekend when markets are closed. Not all but most.

At least on forex peace army Callander

Just to let you know guys am away on holiday for a while and reading the thread I saw a few questions. Will be back in a few days and will answer then.

No worries Alan, hope you're enjoying your holiday?

Cheers
