Hi Retlaw, once more thanks for hard work. v1.2 and following EAs - default market order is 0,1 and limit 0,15 - could you implement LondonCloseHour "Now" ? (I will try out different Profiles, for instance 06:20 London Time) - could you check which underlying is running (MinDistPoints, LotsForMarketOrders, LotForLimitOrders are now not suitible if broker wishes for Ger30 min 1,0 Lot) - could you in comment implement EA and time used?
My pleasure Isabella_D!
About your remarks:
1. I'm following GB's rules
2. Totally not relevant to the strategy
3. If using on such instrument, simply adjust lot size
4. Comment will be like: Walt_LCTS_v1.2 EURUSD MO or Walt_LCTS_v1.2 EURUSD LO1 or Walt_LCTS_v1.2 EURUSD LO2
The time of the order is already there in the terminal.

ok, i found the code for auto Magicnumber:
it is:
extern int MagicNumber=0; // if 0 then will autocreate a unique MagicNumber
if (MagicNumber == 0) {
MagicNumber = create_MagicNumber("");
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int create_MagicNumber(string s)
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
{
// create a magic number that is "unique" for a given {EA_name,Symbol,Period} combo
int magic=0;
s = s+WindowExpertName()+Symbol()+Period()+objPrefix;
magic = hash_string(s);
while (magic < 10000) {// magic number is not long enough, make another one
s = s+magic;
magic = hash_string(s);
}
return (magic);
}
this is for most laziest traders or traders with handicap such as myself. you don't have to put in unique magicnumber as the ea calculates it by itself

Thanks for the snippet but auto magic is already in the latest version
(and a little useless because hash_string(s) function is missing)

I'm not sure what you mean because English is not my native language (I hope it is not bad)
I can not just go about implementing everybody's ideas.
All suggestions are welcome but I will wait for GB to give me a green light.
I think that everybody can understand and will agree with that.

@Retlaw: a ExpertAdvisor is good, but not so complicaded with 25 Indicators and 10 scripts
All EA here by FF.COM with 1500 numbers in one Dashboard bring not a win.
A EA must easy unterstand for control and work and not heavy understand or understand
only for the proggers and not for traders

OK the automatic magic numbers are for the different Orders I understand now

I will give you more tipps to complete the EA. I will sent it this evening

That's why I now let it generate the magic numbers on auto, so that nobody has to understand or worry as opposed to the first release of the EA
Almost done with the changes in the new version
(Break even, order comments and some cleaning up)

And the Saga continues...

First let me say Thank You to all contributors here. I am one of the few that are in the US, so language is no issue for me. For all of those that work at conveying information in english, I special thanks to you.

Whilst I slept, much more has happened here.
• Rules have been modified, much to my liking.
• EA update is superb.
• Detailed backtest update is quite revealing. Thank You Clint2008 for this.

We should all be armed to do battle now. Take no prisoners! (Only take Pips)....

oh no , I'm really very pleased with your work where you accompany ghostbikers project. Unfortunately I am not a programmer.
It is ok that you concentrate on the essentials.
English isn't my mother tongue too.

Here is an update!
Version 1.3

What's new:
1. Added Order comment:
Format = Walt_LCTD_v1.3 EURUSD M15 MO, LO1, LO2
0 = EA generates the order comment.
Leave blank for no order comment or enter your own order comment. "(same for Limit Orders)
2. Added SetBreakEven feature: default disabled because worse results on short back test on EURUSD 2016
3. Some more instructions in the input
4. Some minor improvements in the code

Enjoy and many green pips!

{quote} ​Hi Mastermind, the 10 pips distance refers to how far the price at London close must be from the 23,6/76,4 levels and not to the distance between 0/23,6 and 76,4/100 as shown in your chart.
Yes got that... thanks!

@Mastermint: after a time 1.5 hours or so I look for the orders in win and close the orders or I reduce the TP for all orders with the same currency pair to the same TP
Ok nice bit of information.

Keeping a close watch over your trades is key and making any adjustments .... nice work.

Thank you,
