Hi Bauta, I've setup the DailyTarget EA with settings ResetDaily=false and DailyProfi Amount=100 on Sunday morning. My Broker servertime starts trading on Sunday evening at 22h just for 2 hours and begins after that Monday european trading session at 00h. Broker/servertime is GMT+1. Now on our Monday morning CET 8h the Target amount show already $300 (account currency is EUR). Ist that correct and if yes is there any possibility to skip Sunday or in some other way to solving that problem? Thanks, jdva

is this test on 5 digit broker?
in 5 digit broker the spread minimum is 20, 4 digit broker it is 2.
note that EG104 does not returns real results when testing, do back testing only to learn and understand functionality.
EG104 requires tick data.

sorry, welcome... all times are broker times except 9h CET = 8h broker/server time...GMT+1
Sunday trading lasts only 2 hours in Europe but the DailyTarget EA counts it as a whole day, hence it is very unlikely to achieve the daily target.
Then on Monday morning the EA accumulated the initial daily target from €100 to €300 and every day adding 100 further on...

Therefore my idea was to skip Sunday as day for target accumulation if possible...I hope you could understand my intention...

Thx, jdva

still not understanding you. I know it is hard because there are three times there, computer, server and GMT
to get into the issue, do this:
click Trade, sort by Open Time and check if you have an order opened with date 2016.07.03, if so, copy the screen for me.
now, click Account History, sort by Closed Time and then check if you find 2016.07.03 there, if so copy the screen to me.

Here is an interesting picture. Fortunately it is demo.
Bauta told me be aware of Channel style. But money in multi style comes really fast as it convers both range and trending enviroment. I want to use this combination. However Channel style is not easy to control. If price range for a long time, EG104 will open huge positions.
Anyone can tell me a better way to control Channel style? My plan is to close all positions on the chart when its floating loss equals to 1 or 2 days' profit. Cut them off and use 1 or 2 days to recover.

yes, Bauta, do agree, pretty hard with the different times, especially our both local times already differ 7 hours. Obviously, my English is too bad in order to explain my "problem" well enough to you, but the daily target value accumulation (including just 2 hours Sunday trading time here) is not a real issue for me either.
I may simply change ResetDaiky=TRUE and it will reset balance and profit a the beginning of every day.

Nevertheless many thanks for your efforts and support...!

Happy trading, jdva

removing "President" from DayTarget_Events file.

M1 price movement pauses introduced on release 031 will handle this type of events.
Next event is now "Unemployment Rate"

Hello Bauta,
I have been testing for quite a while now and going well.
For a 100$ profit target per day, what do you recommend as # of currency pairs (assuming 0.01 lot) using symmetry?
Also: are there currency pairs that are preferered with this EA? Or maybe some that you recommend *not* using?
thanks!

Hi Bauta,

Some of us are having trouble getting the EA EG104 to run on a live account, when it is loaded we get the following message (attached screen shot)

I already have EAs running on my live account so I know how things work.

Dont worry I am not going live yet, Ive had too many experiences where I have spent some time testing on demo accounts and then when I go live the EA doesn't work. So now when I get an EA I throw it straight on a live for a few minutes and check that it works.

Thanks

"M1 fractal is evaluated only on symmetry, after the level 3 and on one minute time frame. The idea is to pause execution, not to stop the EA"

Do I need to use M1 timeframe on all charts for getting that feature?

Hello Bauta,

My target wasn't hit yesterday so target is automatically doubled today. It's all beginning to make more sense. Thanks for the previous basket explanation. Also, is there a situation when I should change to "reset daily"?

Any timeframe. EG104 does not uses the timeframe selected by the trader. it uses an invisible build in memory chart to calculate M1 fractal.
