Disliked{image}Gents, Trying to find out why this EA automaticall opens and closes straight away, the instructions or trouble shooting guide is a bit vague. This was a back test on the AUD Retail news on the 04.04.2016 @04:30 (09:30 AWST Time). Any help would be greatly appreciated Greg {image}Ignored

{quote} I'm happy for your profit! I was also in the trade at about 1.2700, but had too tight trailing stopAnyway, next time I use wider trailing stop and maybe not use from the beginning.
Also I had a nice spike ride on AUD Trimmed CPI, as my straddle got kicked out early @ my TS
Hi All,
Just discover this EA yesterday, and would like to test it on USDCAD - GDP this afternoon (14:30 GMT+2), so I set it up using OOTB settings (V7.0). Is there anyone planned to test it or use it live on this new? I also wonder if it can be relevant to link the EA with the FF calendar. I suppose you already think about it and would like to know the reason no-one already try it.
Regards,

Hi all,
No much activity on that thread, quit a shame...
As I did not received any feedback(post #528), I did it to give it a try next week.
So please find enclose a mod of this EA, which will just automatically update the next news time to trade all news having a specific impact for a given pair (see screenshot).
So new settings are :
1. Auto trade news from ForexFactory Calendar : if set to false, no difference from last version. If set to true, the EA is downloading once a week the FF calendar.
2. Trade news having impact greater or equal to : To avoid trading news with no impact on price action
3. Currency need to be either base or quote : That's mean if you are running the EA on EURUSD for example, the EA will just focus on news from EUR and USD
4. Force trading symbol news : As in the screenshot, if you are running the EA on USDJPY for example and you want to trade a news from China (as the one coming this Sunday) because you know this will impact the currency you are trading, just insert the country 3 letters acronym as in FF. For example if you want to trade news on GOLD or OIL use USD. If you want to trade news on Indice as well (SPX500, US30 - USD, CAC40 - EUR, UK100 - GBP, and so on..)
Once again, I have absolutely no idea yet if this is relevant or not, need to forward test...So I will put this EA on let say GU, UC, GJ, EA and AN, all with OOTB settings, on a GlobalPrime demo account, and will report at the end of next week.
Good luck, pips

Not sure if I am doing anything wrong here Och but the EA does not seem to be syncing with Forex Factory and my broker correctly, is picking up the next day when there is news in 2 hrs for GBP. This is the Och Version with the calendar added. Also there seems to be a descrepency in the broker time as well.
The EA is set to true to auto read the FF Calendar but am I supposed to have a particular on ein the system to read it, I have added your news header in the include folder which I believe is the correct place?
Not sure what else I need to get it right.
LETS SEE WHAT THE GBP CAN BRING IN 15 MINUTES!!
Closed out trades manually as I could see price stalling!!
By the way these are all on demo gents!!
Cheers
Greg
Hi Crooster,
Don't know what to say... Indeed the include folder is the right place for the mqh file.It is working like a charm on my VPS.
Did you pay attention to the impact. There is no news with High impact until tomorrow on GBP, neither on USD...
I check on several pairs, and the EA seems to update correctly the next newstime (NDay, NMonth, NYear, NHour, NMin and NSec) field of AmazingEA. Anyway this is just what the mod is doing, nothing else...
By the way, no need to add any calendar on the char. The mqh is retrieving the xml file from FF webserver(and saving the xml file on <MT4 folder\MQL4\Files>.

It seems the Manufactured PMI news event has been correctly trigged (on GBPUSD, and on all pairs). Too bad the TP has not been reached... I will probably add an email/sms alert to allow to jump to the vps during the news to manage the trade manually.
All orders seems to be triggered correctly, but I need to understand how to set it up more precisely, anyone have relevant set file for different pairs?
