I'm adding "President" and "Chairman" to my Day_Target_Events.txt list. Seems when a President or Chairman of anything speaks then entire world moves...forex included
i did notice that 120 minutes (2 hours) is not enough time for closure. i do recommend to change it to 180 or higher.
i will revise the news you are suggesting.
thanks, bauta

Hi Akkus,
As had already been stated, EG104_day_target is an optional EA. Its designed to keep your accounts safe and work towards a long term goal using a fully automated system.
There is good reason to close all charts when News Events happen. I have seen currencies move dramatically from news events related to other currencies (Example here is CNY and JPY events moving the USD and AUD).

What we are trying to achieve with the News Filtering, by using the combination of High Impact news and Keywords, is to only filter out events that have a dramatic Impact on the market, for example an Interest Rate decision which historically has a big effect on given market. Review the Day_Target_Events.txt list and add any Keywords that you think relate to High Impact News. As we gain more experience, we should end up with a list that will filter out the Events that cause our charts to go AWOL, and avoid those pesky 7,8,9 level Grids!

Yes it does also make perfect sense to only close the charts related to the news, therefore increasing risk on other charts, but since the closure would only be for a few hours we may as well close all charts and remain in the game. This will give us a better chance at reaching the 1% daily goal with a lower draw down and overall safer, less stressful trading.

I hope this answers your question.

{quote} Thanks akkus, i will replace ATR by range, instead of using the total i will use the average including two times the 1 day range, and i will change GridFactor default to 3. Example: (see http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...65#post8886165 ) (177.3*2)+122.1+126.6+126.3=409.6/4=102.4 102 pips / gridfactor of 3 = 34 i will implement it on the next revision. I am testing it now. thanks, bauta
Hi bauta, this math does not add up correctly. It appears that the decimal in 177.3 was calculated as 17.73. Here's what I see: (177.3*2)+122.1+126.6+126.3=409.6 BUT what was actually calculated was (17.73*2)+122.1+126.6+126.3=409.6. The corrected equation is (177.3*2)+122.1+126.6+126.3=729.6/4 = 182.4 / grid factor of 3 = 60.8. Thanks.

you are almost right. I did disclosure it wrong. Note it is not divided by 4, it should be by five.

(177.3*2)+122.1+126.6+126.3=729.6/5 = 145.72 / grid factor of 3 = 48.5.
OK, to make it even clear, this is the actual code:
Inserted Code
R1 =  (iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,1)-iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,1))/PointValue;
for(i=1;i<=5;i++)
   R5    =    R5  +  (iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,i)-iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i))/PointValue;
for(i=1;i<=10;i++)
   R10   =    R10 +  (iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,i)-iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i))/PointValue;
for(i=1;i<=20;i++)
   R20   =    R20 +  (iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,i)-iLow(NULL,PERIOD_D1,i))/PointValue;
R5 = R5/5;
R10 = R10/10;
R20 = R20/20;
ATRAvg=int((3*R1+2*R5+R10+R20)/7);

Thank you Srbaude for great answer . You're quite right . I asked this question for , charts can not to be closed quickly with 3 grid factor number and I wanted to do not close other unrelated to news charts.

when gridfactor have small number , ıt's closing is have to been difficult. I'm starting closure before 250 minute but some charts can not close to news time.

I believe you that you can make a solution path for this situation.
Thanks Bauta and Srbaude for your great effort for us .

Added target type "none" to only monitor the target. News closure has not been changed.
Added events to DayTarget_Events file as referenced on post 1301 by srbaude.

Thanks you all,
