Hi Alan. Does the new(er) versions of your EA require the same chart setup as the older versions? For instance, in the older version, if I wanted to trade US news, I would set the news time within the EA then load it up on 5 USD charts (ie. AUD/US, EUR/US, etc).

Now with the automatic news retrieval, is this process the same? I'm guessing the only difference is, I don't have to manually enter the news trading time, but I still need to load the EA on the 5 charts I want the trading to occur.

If you were trading just one pair per trade, you could load it on one chart and using the spreadsheet, it would pick the currency pair associated with that news event, and change currency pairs traded based on the spreadsheet settings.

But if you want to trade multiple pairs per event, there is a way of picking up the settings from the spreadsheet by setting the Currency Pair in the spreadsheet to the word 'Default' instead of 'USDJPY' or whatever. Then it will trade on whatever chart it is loaded on and if you wanted to trade 5 pairs you would load it the 5 charts.

If you want to trade multiple pairs and use different settings per chart then you can set each one up individually like the old EA and not using the spreadsheet (ReadSettings=false). Here the only advantage is the time is setup automatically.

One last thing is that AutoTradeNews picks up all News Events so to restrict it to US news only you need to use FilterByCurrency=True and FFSymbol=USD.

Hope that all makes sense. If it doesn't I can elaborate, just let me know.

{quote} Dear Alan, good afternoon. This is your thread, where you answer to the people questions because you are selling something to this people, because you are using this public place for business. Not me.

Hey man get lost. You're an incredibly rude individual with a self righteous attitude. No one owes you ANYTHING. If you don't like it go to another thread promoting something else. If I were Alan I wouldn't answer another one of your silly questions.

Version 9.03 Released

24 October 2016
Version 9.03 Modified by Alan Prothero

Account Name Checker now ignores spaces and case
Fixed a bug where the News Time was incorrect when using UseBrokerTime=true
-If your PC Clock is accurate, set UseBrokerTime=false
-If your PC Clock is not accurate but your Brokers Server clock is accurate, set UseBrokerTime=true. Your PC clock can be upto 30 minutes out and the EA will still work correctly.

For existing Real Account (i.e. licensed) users:- If you set UseBrokerTime=false which is the default, there is no improvement in this EA so I won't be sending out an update unless you specifically want one. Please let me know.

NEW USERS: Please try the EA without using the spreadsheet as it is much easier to learn

Hi Alan,

The SettingsLine does not match the csv file's line. Isn't this strange?

Pls confirm this is all right.

Thanks,

Akira

GBP Prelim GDP is Row 54 but the EA doesn't count the Header Line so it says it's 53, but that's OK.

Just a quick question.
Alan I've downloaded the latest EA For my demo account,
I put it on my chart. Which was the one min GBP/USA everything was set up and I was waiting for USA Unemployment claims.

With 30 seconds to go. The EA placed a buy and a sell trade. and 10 seconds later it took the two of them off making no trades. My question is, Is the demo version not a full working EA or is there something wrong.

This typically happens when the PC time is slightly out. In the instructions I recommend a tool called Net Time (www.timesynctool.com) that you install on your PC and it keeps the clock extremely accurate.

You can also check the logfiles to see if your trades were deleted before the news.

If you can't install something like that for any reason set UseBrokerTime=true and the EA will use the server clock.

The default setting is to cancel orders after 5 sec., if not triggered. For some news, it is set at 10 sec. or 15 sec.
Hope this helps.
