Hi Radityo Ardi In my USDCAD forward demo i set the Weekly Start Day : Monday, Weekly Start Time : 08:00:00 (Broker Time). I expect that the EA will not run before 08:00:00 on every Monday. But after i login to my VPS yesterday (Monday around 02:00:00 broker time), i saw that the EA already run and create pending orders. So what is probably wrong? Is it my sets? Sorry i don't have the screen shot. Thanx Radityo {image}
It's happened to me, and it's not the EA.

It's something between the broker time, and the server time, I think you have to find it on your own. Just test it a couple of times to find out, and beware of the summertime changes.

Hi

Try make your time to start will be the daily start time. Make the Weekly time to 00:00.

The daily time will preceed the weekly time if i not mistaken read the logic in code.

Radit also have mention about this on his logic in previous post.
Look for it and you will find it

oh, really??
Does it something to do with broker time?
I never observe the broker time. Here's a hint:
broker time -> MT4 will query to the server ask for broker time.
local time -> MT4 will query directly from the current PC.
GMT time -> MT4 will query directly from the current PC and convert it to GMT.

Probably something to do with connection?? not too sure.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

radityo,
reporting...with fixed 2 spreads, the result isn't too good.
with current GTLIMITEURUSD2 (Live) setting, it only aim for 1 pips profit..
not so worth it compared with 100 SL risk...

any idea to improve this?
or maybe i think it's better if i just wd and moved to another ECN cent account broker... (that can be accessed with indo's speedy ISP...lol)

what do you think?

{quote} my account is not ECN. Have you tried FBS?
yeah, but roboforex pro-cent is using floating spread start from 0,4pips ... while mine fixed 2 pips spread.. T_T
i've checked the FBS, cent account using floating spread start from 1pips.

Now I've notice something, Normally Speedy ISP blocked original broker include FBS,Roboforex,etc,
but I can access it's affiliate IB from Indonesia... like http://roboforexindonesia.com/ or http://roboforex.co.id/
So I might consider a move to Roboforex too..

do you have recommended IB for roboforex?
Rebates might be a nice bonus in the long run, because it's keep open/close massive positions
(as long as the EA stay alive..... lol)

hi radityo and everyone

not sure anyone asked before, setting the TP to dynamic means the EA will close at TP based on what criteria?

thanks.

Just checking, the orders had been created on the Monday? ... because it could have still been orders from the previous Friday if your TP / SL hadn't been hit.
1 pip at a time ... if the entries are strong, the rest will follow ...

Dynamic -> calculation based on your balance. It will take the numbers from Take Profit Multiplier * your balance. That is your Take Profit (in currency, not in points / pips).

hi radityo

so if my balance is USD100 and multiplier is 0.015 = 100 x 0.015 = 1.5
This 1.5 is the pip value it will Take profit?

You will see in the dashboard when you attach the EA. it show TP value, pending buy and sell, and others information.
Look for it and you will find it

hi hewtwok,
i think it's not $1.5$ profit in each trade, but it's calculated from all opened positions in the grid.

i.e. grid opened 6 trades:
1. -1$
2. 0$
3. -1$
4.+1$
5.+0.5$
6.+1$
total = +$1.5 all 6 trades closed.

another i.e:
1. +1$
2. -1$
3. +1.5$
total= +1.5$ all 3 trades closed.

i could be wrong...but i think grid trading aim for fixed $ as TP is like that...CMIIW

Yes, I understand that, but it didn't worked when I set it up, when I selected broker, it started like 1 hour earlier, when selected local it started later...

And I know it's not the EA, it's the VPS settings, maybe VPS is located in a location which is not broker's and I don't understand why it doesn't work with local time, so I guess it's the server which ruled the time for the EA.

That's why I selected GMT, it's safer for me, but I have to be aware of summer time changes.

BTW, anyone knows about a cheap VPS, I don't care for latency or hardware, I'm using it for demo.
