{quote} You are well aware of all versions of this EA so that's why I am asking question. Hopefully you wont mind. Is this option is included in any version that when Buy/Sell signal appear, EA place pending order XDistance away from current price. For example Buy signal appears so instead of opening Long position, EA place Buy Stop order XDistance away from current price? Regards
I see only opening next trade X_distance away from previous trade so I don't think so.

It could be coded into an EA of course.

Pending Buy or Sell Stop orders will give your trading more freedom so I can see value in that idea.

Good job. Please make the EA an option for subsequent trades to be opened after x boxes and after x Pips after the first trade. I want to use 7 boxes before first entry, atleast 15 pips gap and another seven boxes for next entries. Also it will be great to have partial TPs after x opposite boxes and different QDC value for exit for when the trades are in overall profit and when they are in overall losses. Thanks to all the contributors. I will be forward testing this EA on any two pairs which has no news each day with only two cycle of trades allowed on 1 Min tf and 15 % maximum drawdown per pair. I hope to share results. Its all about trying to avoid DD conditions.

First of all, thanks to reply. I am testing during high volatility like my margin call was very closed in Demo account so I closed all orders manually. But if I have option of pending orders then it wont open large number of trades. If I open orders manually then there will be only three orders. I wanted to test with 10 pips Buy Stop, in that case u can save your margin and you are not victim of one way direction.

I know your idea is great to trade in Asian session but still I did not want to take that risk.

@vlad ; please can you add the option of pending orders XDistance away from signal price. Like Buy Stop orders for Buy and Sell stop orders for sell.

Your volunteer work for this EA is amazing.

ShaolinQuant,

I have a question regarding the timer:

My session in the backtester goes from 00:00 to 08:00.
When forward testing I use GMT time, which means 21:00 to 05:00 with my broker. Should the EA take trades with this time setting (because it goes past 00:00 in one cycle). In my test I use only 1 cycle and 1 trade. The EA did not take any trades with this timer setting yesterday.

Can you clarify? Thank you very much!

So the strategy tester time is always in GMT. I am using the TimeGMT function to compare to the strings "00:00" and "08:00" Now the documentation for MQL4 strtotime says that should return current time in seconds. What is not clear is if the strings are being converted to GMT or Timezone of your system clock. My system clock is in GMT, so everything works as intended. It shouldn't matter what time your broker has. If you can try changing your system clock to GMT, that might solve the mystery.
This is what I'm going by:
Get the current time in GMT
http://docs.mql4.com/dateandtime/timegmt

Convert the start/end time strings into time to compare
http://docs.mql4.com/convert/strtotime

ShaolinQuant,

I am by no means a coder.... I just know that many EAs, including Vlads use the broker time.
There is something not working with the timer. Enclosed are my settings and the EA did not take any trades at the set time:

Well, like I said, it works for me and my broker is GMT+3. I run MT4 on a remote server with system time set to GMT. I will look into changing how the time setting works soon, in addition to allowing start time > end time (next day wrap around). Cheers

That is good for you if is working, for me doesn't
I would like to have an EA and while I sleep earn some money
Definitely you did a nice job on a loser system and I think it can be improved.
It just needs more work and deviation from Quantum.


I have tested the EA with default settings , then set the % SL and the % TP to recommended.

Pls don't over optimize the params for a period and use it with Profit factor 4 on a Live account, because that is not real in long term

Now I have missed the Tokyo open with some minutes.

The EA doesn't take trades.
The same issue you will have with the Internet connection reset.

I just made a comment in the code to display the

Inserted Code
 datetime currTime = TimeGMT();

No idea what cause the problem, neither how to fix it

That's the problem:

if ((cycles < max_cycles || max_cycles == 0) && (trades < max_trades || max_trades == 0) && currTime >= time_open && currTime < time_close && barNext)

The bolded text is false.
One date is 22 (EU) other is 21 (US)

Thanks, I figured that's the issue. Since my machine is GMT, no problem for me. I will make this fix in the next version, soon.
