{quote} What time did u use in v14? Take that time and subtract 2 that will be your GMT time to start trading v18. If you look the difference between your broker and GMT is 2 hours. You broker is 2 hours ahead of GMT. So for whatever you had before on v14 (which was your broker's hour) then you need to subtract 2 hours. And yes, this makes the time thing all the same for everyone cause GMT is universal. The EA takes care of calculating the Broker's hour. Hope that helps. J
I used 10am GMT in V14...So how do I enter that now in new EA?because to be honest with you I still cant figure out how to use the GMT feature in V18...I was hoping to test it now even before London opens so that I can be sure it works properly.So does it mean that in V18 , I would have to enter equivalent time of my broker London open time in GMT?For instance , if my broker London open time is 8am GMT then I have to enter 8am into the "OpenGMTHour" feature in V18?

{quote} Hi Xmess..The GMT feature in EA is quite confusing or maybe doesnt work because I tried testing the EA earlier and it didnt open any trades..Please look at screenshot and tell me why EA did not open trades.I think V18 would work fine and be simple to use without new GMT you added because V14 worked pretty well without GMT feature..Thank you and I hope you consider my suggestion. {image}
Try this.
-As usual erase all Globals.
=Load the EA once so u can see the display on the chart. I want you to see the GMT hour.
=Open the Inputs window and set the GMTOpenHour to what you see on the display.
=You should see all the 8 pairs open.

Guys I found a sort of error with the CloseAllButton. If you click on it within 5 minutes after the open of trades
it will close the trades and repopen new trades. That is cause it is still within the 5 minutes of the GMTOpenHour.
So I have set the global flag to make it as if the basket reached profit and that way it will not open new trades.
This button is for emergencies anyway so we want to make sure the EA STOPS immediately.

U can use the copy u have right it will work fine but if u are testing the CloseAllButton then just be aware that u have to wait 5 minute before trying to test the

I made the correction and the updated copy with the correction is ready:

Update: Changed version number to v18.1. This will help me see that folks are using the latest correct update.

Yep 8GMT or 08:00 is entered. GMT is GMT

So u see... your broker is ahead 2 hours.. you said u used 10AM so just watch the display when the Broker hour says 10:00, GMT hour will read 08:00.

U see it's not that difficult .

Elovv: It would of adjusted, the EA doesn't care about open/closed market or ticks, cause it monitors everything every 300 milliseconds (about 1/3 seconds)

Good to know that stuff is working.
I've tested all that I could on version 18 and I saw it worked. But I do expect someone to have problems

NOTE on the CCFP-Diff indicator.

I just noticed this. The indicator from time to time may have a divide by zero condition. That is usually an error that will stop the indicator from working.

So be aware that may also affect the list of symbols from showing up. IF no list shows up on the chart the EA will have nothing to trade.

Sorry guys.

But I can not get these indy's and experts to work.

Here is the process I am going through.

1. Open the 1min EURUSD chart and place CCFp-Diff_[v2.0]
2. Place CCFp weekly Template
3. Place xm7_ccfp_Wkly_TradeMonitor_v18
4. Input current GMT time +1min to set as starting time
5. I wait one minute and nothing happens

Do you know where I could be going wrong. Love the idea of the system and really want to try it out.

Thanks In Advance - Below is what my chart looks like when I have activated everything,

JFfpx:
Are u starting fresh?? No Globals? Hit F3 and if u see anything that starts with "xm7_" delete it.
Then try it again.

Guys with that said I didn't like what I did with the button it was prone to more errors.
So I sat down and FIXED it completely. It now works and does not interfere with the opening of trades etc.
Please download the updated version. I have not changed version number yet.

http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/xm7_C...itor_v18.1.ex4
(Update: Changed version number to v18.1. This will help me see that folks are using the latest correct update.)

I just tested this on FXDD, Tallinex, FXCM, Oanda, FXChoice, TradersWay
In all brokers that EA opened all the trades at the time I indicated.

Sample image of FXDD, someone had asked me to test H4 level 1 trades, and I saw it opened all trades at the minute I indicated in the inputs.
Make sure that you are starting fresh (no global variables with "xm7_" in their names) before testing.

Hi Xmess

Thank you for the help and response but still not working.

I closed all EURusd windows and opened new ones then went through the same process again. Could it be what you mentioned above:

Hi Xmess,

I have the same problem as jbfx.
Version 18 doesn't work for me. You said to set the GMT Open Hour from Input -2 hours from Broken Time.
My broker time is 2 hours ahead of GMT time.
So if my broker time is 08:00 then I set my GMT Open Hour to 06:00 right?

Update: I did set the time to to exactly what the GMT Current Hour display and it doesn't work.

Version 14 works, opens trades every time

JBFX and Pippinitool:
U did the right steps. So did u guys download the latest v18? Make sure cause I found that the button causes the trades not to execute.
So I made a correction. I have renamed the latest version to 18.1. Just to make sure that folks have the correct version.

Please just to make sure download that version and try again.
http://xm7.info/ea/ccfp_weekly/xm7_C...itor_v18.1.ex4

This time set input PrintDebugInfo=true
Try the test again. Send me the Experts log. It will contain info what the EA is doing so I can see what is exactly happening with your settings.
MQL4/Logs Look for the log with today's date.

Also if you can pls PM me a demo account of your brokers. Login, password, and demo server name.
That way I can test it directly on your broker.

Thnx for the info...

Hi Xmess, I have the same problem as jbfx. Version 18 doesn't work for me. ... 2 hours ahead of GMT time. So if my broker time is 08:00 then I set my GMT Open Hour to 06:00 right? ...
No, in your case your broker is 4 hours ahead of GMT.
Look a the display... look at these too lines
GMT Current Hour 04:39
Broker Current Hour 06:39
See the difference?? 4hours.
Also do you see that your broker's is ahead of GMT(6 vs 4)?
So in your example if your broker's time is 08:00 u set GMT open Hour to (8-4) or 04:00. Got it?

On pg1 rule 5 states to open trades at London Open. London Open is at 8:00 am GMT.
So in the input GMTOpenHour you set it to "08:00". GMT is GMT.
I am trying to get us to use pure GMT, it makes it simpler cause every broker has a different open times.

Peace

Folks, for those of u having issued of not seeing the EA open trades during your testing.
Please PM a demo account login/password/demo server info from your broker.

I think this is the best way to handle these things, instead of populating the thread with EA questions.

Thank you and don't rush it, this will be working properly...

Jbfx thank you so much.
Like I said there would be alot of debug data LOL.
The good news is that the EA reaches a certain part correctly with the correct values.
But could you stop the EA and see of you can find a line that has gmtTime in it?
It will look something like this:
gmtTime: 2017.02.25 05:05:00 GMTOpenTime: 017.02.25 05:07:00 GMTOpenTime+10seconds: 017.02.25 05:07:10

I need to see that those dates are correct.

EDIT:
To upload the log file just put it in a zip file.
