EG104_DayTarget EA

to get a better chance for being flat during the Big News events I have changed the times as follows:

PreEventStop Time=240
PostEventStart Time=60

Moreover press conferences often start 30 min after the Rate Decisions release times!

Happy trading, jdva

Nice, note how the EA played the big moves nicely. Here we tested the accumulation delay feature introduced on release 035 (M1 fractal and M1 moving average) {image} bauta

{quote} Alert: I am Setting all my live/real accounts to closure mode right now, resuming trading in 24 hours. Note I will keep the explorer EG104.035 running to be able to test the new M1 fractal and M1 moving average confirmation when the market moves in one direction without small pullbacks. (pausing the symmetry accumulation execution) it is needed to test it. I did change GridSizeFactor to 5 in this explorer. stay tuned and good luck trading, bauta
Do we need to put the EA on M! chart?

Thanks you all.
EG104 is not using the user displayed time frame. It calculates its internal variables using virtual memory charts.
Any time frame you select, the results are exactly the same.

When will 035b update be available for live account? I run the MQL5 purchased version live, however it is only updated to 034 so has no accumulation delay feature

News Release Alert. due to expected volatile tomorrow, Wednesday, I will set the terminal into closure mode at the beginning of 9/21/2016 session. I will resume trading at the beginning of 9/22/2016 session. how to set the terminal in closure mode? Hit F3 key, create a variable named closure and set its value to 1 how to resume trading? hit F3 and delete any closure variable thanks, bauta
Hi Bauta, to set terminal in closure mode, could I set Continue = False ? After that, I run script "Apply settings to all"

just set or delete continue to false (0)
note that continue is case sensitive.
by now, flatOnFriday should be on effect. EA is not going to resume trading if flat on Friday is true.

{quote} Good And, this is my closure on AUD{image}..
Nice closure indeed akkus!Can you share your setting? How much deposit can support so much levels? It looks like 19 altogether.
I have a $10000 account with 3 pairs start from 0.01 lot . When level reaches 7 or 8 it will give me big floating loss. I'll close the other two pairs to support the unlucky one. Thanks.

This is what Bauta said about account funding. In my underestimating, $2000 per chart with lot 0.01 should be enough. Dear bauta please advise.

create a demo account and set the EG104 035a with default parameters. Let it run for some weeks and let me now if you see profits. If you prefer to speed thinks up a bit, set GridSizeFactor to 5. No manual intervention please.
use 2 times contract size per setup,
example, if contract size is 100k, you need 200K per each 1 full contract, 10K per each 0.10 and 2K per each 0.01

Why closing two pairs? Floating losses are normal with this and any EA, you have to bear them. If choosing the right (non-correlated) pairs, default parameters and account leverage 1:400, you shouldn`t get margin calls...the only thing you have to avoid...IMHO!

Correct!
That is the formula I am using, but with a 40% capital reserved.
Example, let's assume you have 50K in a 100K contract size account.
reserve 50K*40%=20K your trading capital is now 30K
for 100K contract size you need twice it size, then 200K, for 0.01 lot size you need 2K, for 0.02 lot size you need 4K
you should trade 6 to 7 charts with s_StartLotQty = 0.02
Note this formula is hypothetical, I do recommend you to reserve more capital.
good luck trading!

Thanks bauta for updating 035 on MQL5 Market. Just wondering if you have considered adding money management for the initial lotsize to be calculated by % of equity? This would obviously increase risk in the medium-long term however for those of us who like to run this strategy aggressively for short term outsized gains and withdraw funds regularly it would be helpful. Keep up the good work.

I am considering this approach for money management, but it needs more testing time. At least 6 months.

Hi Bauta,

I'm using the latest version35b on EURGBP, i see that the EA didn't hedge the position. Please see the image attached.
