{quote} GTLIMITEURUSD2 is only 5 hours a day, starting from Tuesday 00:00 SGT - Saturday 00:00 SGT. So, it will not open trade from Saturday morning until Monday evening 23:59 SGT

Hi radityo,
only to be sure. LIMIT is working these 5 hours. If you choose "SERVER TIME" instead of "LOCAL TIME", what would be the right setting of day and hours using ROBOFOREX?

TY and best regards

hi radityo, somehow it went weird now, after attach v1.7 to another mt4, somehow the autocontinue trade stops. i tried delete the GLobal options - dont seem working now. The first button should it be "Continue" or "Stop Next Cycle". If i press "Continue" it will switch to "Stop Next Cycle" - does it mean is now on auto continue trade? If i press "Stop Next Cycle" it will switch to "Continue" - does it mean now is on manual restart? Sometimes i notice "Stop Next Cycle" is pressed down, sometimes is "Stop Next Cycle" not pressed down - not sure if...
Probably this is something that I would like to change from UI perspective.
But, please see this explanation below.
If you press "Continue" and the text changed to "Stop Next Cycle", it does mean that the trade was stopping and is now running.
If you press "Stop Next Cycle" and the text changed to "Continue", it does mean that the trade will not open any new cycle once the current cycle is closed.

But those conditions above still tied with the StartTime and StopTime condition, both daily and weekly.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

Hi Radityo Ardi, Glad to see you back. I have an issue with v 1.7 on back testing. I back tested from jan to sep 2015. On many days from that period of time the EA did not started. Sometime once a week, sometime twice. I haven't check on my forward testing if the EA have the same issue bcs i run multiple pairs on one account. I have the screen shot below Thanx in advance {image} {image} {image}
I'm affraid this is due to the short time you've set on EA to be active. 08:45:00 and 08:47:00 is too short (2 minutes), while the candle may not be complete at that point of time. Moreover, you set the period to H1.

My suggestion, you focus on 17 Aug - 19 Aug, and see the dashboard, whether it turns into ACTIVE from INACTIVE. Just watch it with a very SLOOOOW pace. You can set the speed also.

If you do backtest, don't play on H1. It may not be very accurate. Get the data from http://www.histdata.com/download-free-forex-data/ which will give you M1 data instead of H1. Though you have M1, it also doesn't guarantee you'll get the best result. Strategy Tester meant for the developer basically. It can't simulate many things in the real scenario.

Do you think it'll last a whole week??? =O

There's been some turbulence, but in fact I hope everything's back to normal by tomorrow.

Don't you think?
A good strategy for trading is... the opposite of having a bad strategy.

So then it is correct.
GTLIMITEURUSD2 settings, especially on the close behavior will do like this:
1. If reaching target
2. If not reaching target, but surpassing the middle point range, after 1 orders are opened

both case will close all orders.
The 2nd condition is to prevent issues with getting stuck whenever target is not reached and then return back to its negative position.

Ok after check ,yes, it close type = right in start point or target based.

so what i understand if the limit order trigger and go to target, and suddently reverse direction and go to midle point, it will close the order.

or when say for limit buy trigger :

1. price go down, limit buy trigger
2. price then go up to target, but the midle point range reached first before target, it will close all orders.

is it correct?

thanks

{quote} Still remains the same, the GTLIMITEURUSD2. I think I'm now more focusing on "manual intervention" due to unpredictable movement. This unpredictable movement causing "heart-attack"-ish position... like below... (see the red circle) {image} I'm just trying to see the corelation between mid to high impact events (like NFP, or anything else) whether this could really impact on it.
hi bro,
what criteria that will trigger your "manual intervention"?and what to do in such condition?isn't there's a StopLoss setup?
a bit lost here. GTLIMITEURUSD2 run only on "slow hour" not like on major news, like NFP or anything else...

and just out of curiosity, are your GTLIMITEURUSD2 result is also got "manual intervention" too?

thanks

Hi slianto,

as i observe because it run only 5 hours, from 1 am to 6 am in the morning GMT+8 which usually slow movement/ ranging. thats why the limit order works good, and i think the close type will be the default, right in start point or target based as the cycle will close faster without reach target if cannot be reach at the moment.

And the manual intervention will be like today, eurusd is trending toningh, not good for limit order.

mine now eurusd is on loss because eu is moving down all the time.

Don't be confused. Manual intervention from my side is just like "I don't want to trade today" kind of thing. So, in this case before the EA starts, I just click on Stop Next Cycle. That's all.

I did that last night 23:00 SGT, 2 hours before EA starts (no open / pending orders that time). My GTLIMITEURUSD2 results never got any manual intervention. I never touch the trade manually, because it is always in wee-sleepy-dreamy time, bro. I can't never do that.

01:00am to 06:00am is my time to sleep, so let the money work to replace me...hahahaha...

ah i think it did not auto continue could be due to the setting for the trading hours (which i copied from EURUSD2 set file)

that bring me to the next question.
now since it has not reopen any trade due to the trading hour, as soon as the next trading hour cycle begins, will the EA starts itself? or will it still need human intervention to press "Start Manually"?

thanks

It didn't autotrade due to the Stop Next Cycle is active (which makes the auto-trade inactive). Stop Next Cycle acts like Active-Inactive for the auto-trade. That is why when you press Stop Next Cycle, the dashboard says INACTIVE. So, you can wait until forever, the auto-trade never start. Until you press "Continue" (same button as "Stop Next Cycle"), then auto-trade will start accordingly.

Auto-trade (to be honest, I like the term), as we know, will start when we unclick the first button in the EA. If it says "Stop Next Cycle", auto-trade is active. If it says "Continue" auto-trade is inactive. Of course, auto-trade is bound to Daily Start Time and Daily Stop Time, and Weekly Day and Time, both Start and Stop (wheeww.... sooooo.. many "boring" parameters here....)

Now, back to practice that I always follow. The moment I said "manual intervention", the procedure is as following. Let us assume GTLIMITEURUSD2 as an instance.

  1. Click Stop Next Cycle before EA starts. Just make sure no open order. Since EA starts at 01:00am, I will click the button around 3 hours before, or anytime which is suitable to click on it, as long as no open orders.
  2. Once the button clicked, text will change to "Continue", and button will be kept pressed. Dashboard will show INACTIVE even though it is inside the allowed trade time as per the EA settings. This means auto-trade is inactive. Then, I'll get to sleep, say "enough for the day, I'm grateful for what I have received". Hehehe...
  3. I'll wait until end time which is 06:00am is passed. Not waiting actually, but sleeping. But later on, around 08:00am when starting to my works, I will click "Continue again". At this time, dashboard will still show INACTIVE.
  4. So, now 01:00am reached again, since I clicked "Continue", auto-trade now will be active again.


Here's the key to remember it:

  1. Stop Next Cycle -> set Inactive / active for a trade.
  2. Continue -> the opposite of Stop Next Cycle.
