Hi Radityo ... does this mean you won't be using any GTSTOP settings at all - i.e. that you're solely focused on LIMIT now?

{quote} 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...
Radityo, I am surprised you don't start the EA to run through the night (UK time), from midnight to 7.a.m GMT EU ranges most of the time.

{quote} that is threshold line to close all orders. calculated from the outer grid order, about X points. X is the number you get from "Close Threshold". Now, when the current price is reaching that line, it will force close all orders. this feature was requested by someone... {quote}
Hi radityo,

i am testing on the closure threshold as it can use as stop loss if price go out of grid.

I set 3 grid only, set 10 to close threshold.

Should it close all trade if pass 10 points of the outer grid? or if no when it will closed all.

hi radityo, {quote} i see....thanks for detail explanation. what happen if before 1:00am i cliked "continue"? will the ea autotrade activate upon 1:00am reached?
EA will start the auto-trade again.

Quoting hewtwok
btw sorry i need to ask the 1:00am to 6:00am is following your broker time? or your local time? thanks EDIT: Just now i saw my EA shows "INACTIVE - IN TIMEFRAME" what does it mean? Well my START MANUALLY button is gone now
The time is for SGT (Singapore Time). That means EA is inactive (based on Stop Next Cycle button, if you have pressed it), and IN TIMEFRAME means inside the allowed auto-trade time.

I feel that GTSTOP time settings is too wide. I may modify it later. But now onwards will focus on GTLIMIT.

Well, one day it trends very strong. 2 or 3 times it was trending, and made my demo account blown. The thing is, I denied the fact that it may be affected by the news day before, or news at that point of time.
We may try in the future.

I really need to see this:

Because Close Threshold will not active if you not set the Close Type accordingly. And GTLIMITEURUSD2 is not using Close Threshold.

Hi radityo

want to ask about SGT.

assuming now is 5.17pm Singapore, but the Mt4 VPS shows desktop time of 8.54am, and broker say 4.00am, does the EA follows the real world SGT 5.17pm, or desktop 8.54 am?

my EA still does not auto run no matter stop next cycle or continue or delete global variables...guess i shd delete n reinstall mt4?

Thanks.

I assume your VPS is windows based, not linux based.
Did you mean to say, your VPS regional setting is set to Singapore, location to Singapore, date set to current date in Singapore, but the time is set to 8.54am?

You may need to set your time accordingly. If your Regional Settings is set to Singapore but the date-time is not as per Singapore, you may have problem then. I don't know whether it is related.
Physical location of the server doesn't matter. Even mine is in Australia, but I set the Regional Settings, Location, and Date Time as per Singapore's.

Please make sure also you've checked Experts tab and Journal tab, to see is there any errors.

Ya is windows based.

Mt4 VPS desktop time i never set at all, it was as it is.
But i do select Singapore as my location for the VPS, is from Amazon. I guess their VPS desktop time is following US?

So the key for the EA is it will follow the desktop time of the VPS/PC it is running on am i correct?
If say now singapore real time is 8.30 pm, but i set the desktop time to 1.00am, following the GTLIMITEURUSD2 set file it will consider in trading zone (1am to 6am)?
Correct me if i'm wrong

Thanks.

To be honest, I never play outside of the standard procedure. Never change the timezone without changing the time accordingly.
But my advice, please follow standard procedure first, then we can see why it was not running. I suppose, due to server time is correct in their own timezone, but your local is wrong, probably affect the time calculation over there.

Below is the standard procedure I've followed:
Attached Image


First, set the timezone. Mine is set to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore.
Second, choose either one, set the time accordingly to the timezone OR turn on Windows Time service.

Windows time service will synchronize the time of your VPS accordingly based on the selected Time Zone.

Yo Radityo,

Yes, I was kind of "moving" the money from one account to another and added back with a bigger sum. Never thought that FF calculated all wd and all deposit. Since FF calculated the later wd and deposit, so now the total all time return is 21%. Though actually it is now 140% from the initial deposit.

Okay, just wondering because I saw on FF there's no major loss on your graph
So it must be a withdrawal

congrats man, one of your live testing account succeed to doubled the money!
it's much better than all blown.

and bro do different broker really make a different result?
let's say something like tickmill vs roboforex?
and what min deposit do u suggest for lowest 0.01 lots trades?

I can't say which one is better, both are equally good.

But if you would like to test on live, I would suggest RoboForex, because they have Cents account type. 0.01 lot, depends, cents can go as low as $10 (equal to $ 1000 cents). If you follow GTLIMITEURUSD2, Inital Lot multiplier is 0.00007, with $1000 cents, each order is 0.07 lots.

EDIT:
Just for additional thoughts, broker actually it is only a matter of trust. Which "company" you would want to trust your money.
While account type is more technical thing, which could affect the result of your trading. What I have implemented in Roboforex, may not be equal to another type of account in Roboforex, though the broker is same, Roboforex.
Just for a hint, my GTLIMITEURUSD2 is using USD account, 1:1000, Pro-Cent. You can see the details in here: http://www.roboforex.com/trade-condi...account-types/

Hi Radityo.

The live set files you had shared earlier are based off cent accounts? If so, what is the minimum recommended deposits for the EURCHF/EURGBP/1000REBOOT and EURUSD2?

If we are to run them off non-cent accounts, should there be any changes to the settings?

I wonder why speedy still playing with ridiculous internet filter
I guess it is blocked due to the site name contains "robo"...

Then you should multiply by 10. btw, if you feel nothing to lose, just try it first with $10. See what happens.

I was starting it off with $15 only each. Which will give me $1500 cents.
Settings are meant to be dynamic, it'll follow the balance you have. That means, no change is required.

why not try FBS ? it has cent account, can be trade w/ Speedy and has fixed rate ( optional ) 1usd = Rp 10.000. Good enough for experiment...
