Nice!

To assist in the cause, we have --> https://www.mataf.net/en/tools/02-01-volatility

Looking at the pairs which has the least volatility we have pairs such as EURCHF, EURGBP and USDJPY. The latter being a tad bit too risky. EURGBP is a very good candidate and the same times should apply. As long as the fundamentals have both EUR and GBP becoming weaker without there being a monetary divergence we are good! Well try testing out EURGBP on the same timezones.

Radityo,

I come across situations like this very often :-

Attached Image


The account was in profit till $1856 odd but closed in profit at $1817. I understand that this is due to the dynamic take profit mechanism in the EA.
However, how difficult would it be to include the parameter and logic within the EA to close the cycle at X times the dynamic take profit level (if it reaches)? The dynamic take profit level could be considered as the barrier to prevent any loss and to always end up in profit (SL) and the "X times the dynamic take profit level" could be considered the bonus profit level (TP)?

Hope you get the idea I am trying to convey!
And kudos on all what you had done for the community so far. I have been seeing nothing but +pips since testing this EA out and we all owe it to you for your perservance and dedication! Thanks man!

Hi,
I am using same set file used by Radityo. Attached it here for your ready reference. Just remove " .txt.txt" from file name and use as .set file loading to EA v1.7
Since my capital was USC 2000 I changed initial lot size to 0.04.

I do close EA on all red news including NFP and FOMC. Better to be safe then sorry! I only start EA when dust is settle down after high impact news.

Knowing turn off EA on NF FCOM or some specific time, and you will make money like a piece of cake.....

....this is playing on fire my friend

One questions and you will understand.

The breakout only happens on NF FCOM or some specific time? if no, trading like this will blow up acc. sooner or later.

My exp. to use limit mode safely is:

1 On trending market, it will break and reach new high or low, start EA when market reaches a new support/resistance, i call this "Stupid Half Way In"

2 On Ranging market, try to pull the trigger at fibo 23.6-38.2, because you have 2 lvls space for up and down seperately, going up 0-23.6 will become strong resistance and doing down you have 50-61.8 classic support.

3 Avoid super impact data, It is well known that, NF FCOM etc....will bypass those S/R

I use only time window used by Radityo and did not tried to start at fib level 23.6-38.2 as some time it goes much beyond 100% fib level too.

Beyond 100% is not important, the important thing is there is a retracement before the 100% is reached.

Time will prove everything...

Hi Radityo, I have a very strange situation. My current price interval is settled to 50. For instance, bid is 1.06176 and ask is 1.06188. The first buy limit is settled @ 1.01117 and the first sell limit is settled @ 1.11232. Something like 5000 instead of 50? I push "force close all" and the expert set a new cycle with buy limit @ 1.06145 and sell limit @ 1.06261 (correct). How is it possible?
Anybody else is experiencing this problem? My demo account is on Alpari.

{quote} Anybody else is experiencing this problem? My demo account is on Alpari.
I want to understand the issue.
Is this happened every first cycle in the timerange?
Or does it always happen when EA place order?
Did you managed to check each order's interval? does it have something around 10000 points as well?

My side, I don't have any issues. Broker with XM and Roboforex, both are fine.

No idea why, but I'm suspecting your broker's TICK_SIZE is changing (which should not). To calculate, I use TICK_SIZE, which will return you 0.00001 if you are in 5 digit currency.
If you ask me to code/fix your EA... it's probably not for free...

Yes in the last 2 trading days I switched to Alpari because FXCM uses a particular way to calculate the commissions (not only bid ask but also a fixed amount) so I fear this system doesn't fit well with your expert.

Anyway, I used the following
Print(MarketInfo("EURUSD",MODE_TICK_SIZE);

and the result is 0.

Is this the problem?

Yess... that is. So, you might wanna ask the broker why is that so. My EA designed to detect both 4 digits and 5 digits. Without this, I still can calculate with Digits, but too many operations already just to "entertain" this one broker.

As usual,
while on my free time, I'm doing backtesting on a potential ranging pairs. The time range is from 05 Jan 2014 - 02 Aug 2014 (approx. 7 months).
Data from: HistData.com. They told the quotes are in EST (Eastern Standard Time) which is 12 hours later than SGT. But when I check candle by candle, actually it is 13 hours later than SGT. Starting balance is always USD 10,000.

Backtesting means there's no human interaction in between (fully automated).

Just finished testing with EUR/CHF with average spreads of 15. Time start: 03:00 - 13:00.

1:1000? Is it credible on Roboforex? I mean, the money made with that high leverage are fully withdrawable? The EA buy and sells at 21 lots at the time.
