Just a heads up. ... For this Monday and next, you can use the same GMT setting in the EA and it will conform to the same time (relative to London Open) as it has since this tread began. But beginning three Mondays from now (3/27/2017), you will have to add one hour to the EA's start time (GMT) to have it initiate your trades at the same relative time to the London Open......
Folks:
I forgot about the Euro shift that smoothTrader points out. So, I updated the EA to detect the GMT hour no matter what happens with DST or whatever. So when Euro does their hour shift in a couple of weeks from now, the EA wont be affected, it will just see that same GMT hour.

So far I have had good reports on performance, the only thing I have not had time to test is the profit lock, but based on the conversation that the thread is having, I don't think we need to worry about that for now.

I think we are very close and I can recommend everyone to try out v31.
Download it and please PM me if anything goes wrong.

I'll wait one week... if no bugs are reported... then on to the next phase: publishing the source code.

{quote} Thank you smoothtrader for your consistant help to others .. i will work on that ... hope it can help some others that are in the same situation.. Alex
agagukalex:
v31 has a Sunday option, so you can use it to start trades on Sunday.

Oh there is also an option to either let the EA trade Weekly or Daily.
So now you can also have the EA do the auto trading each day.
Just set the RestartMonitor to either Weekly or Daily

The automatic close happens 20 minutes before the broker's market close hour on Friday for the weekly
For the daily it will automatically close any open trade at 20 minutes before broker's midnight hour.

I also made a change the Pip count Log File. I removed the max and min counts from the file. If you look at the posts where I show an excel chart you can CLEARLY see when the max and min happen, so I removed them from the file.

Go fer it !

I start my basket with the following settings:
Open basket on Monday @ 11:00 GMT
TP:0
SL:500
LogPipCount=true

I just noticed that the EA does not clear out all of the info. It's more of a cosmetic thing than anything.
Cause as soon as the Open Basket Hour is hit. The EA WILL reset everything and start a new logfile too.
I can see why folks thought that you needed to manually clear out the globals.

Someone mentioned it, the benefit of not clearing everything out is that you can SEE how the basket ended up after it has closed it's trades.
So sometime this week I'll add a condition that will clear the info on the chart display first thing on Monday's. That way you will still be able to
see the info as it ended last week.

Peace

{quote} Hi L.m , can you run a backtest for 2016 from January to December and share with us now that we have the past weekly buy and signals that was compiled by Smoothtrader using the the same TP and SL criteria you used in this excel result you compiled? I am still trying to figure out how to run the backtest in Excel lol...though this backtest may not be accurate , it will be worth looking at....When i complete my learning on how to run backtests in Excel i will run backtests and share results..Hope you consider my request
Here is Jan 2016, attached is also the spreadsheet to build the charts. I don't upload the csv files because they are big (it's the quickest part to download data from Dukas).
Just one warning: if anybody is interested in doing some backtests, the DST issue pointed out by Smoothtrader affects the csv files too. That means now the first 5M candle of the week is the one opening at 22:00 GMT on Sundays, but during the DST months the first candle is at 21:00 GMT. So check out the volume columns to help you identify the correct start of the week.

Have you tried to change the Magic Number? I had same problem and it worked ...
However i also tried same settings on another paltform and waited,, and after 10secs it began working_

I start my basket with the following settings: Ope {image}
Nice one XMmess7 the V31 its much faster and the Sunday option is welcome although
if we need to follow rules of the system it should work only from Monday London Open, but it is good to have it
to find out more .. example if it also worked from Japan time _
I am starting to like this system and the Ea too
not too bad for a start of the week even if i was a bit too late today_

Hi everyone.

I'm a new member of your forum.I have gone read through the most of the site, and must say that I'm very intrigued with the weekly strategy.

I like to thank the Forexpinbar as well as Xmess7 ,Smoothtrader, and the other members for their hard work and their valuable contributions, which are much appreciated by all of us.

I have set up 2 demos on m1 tf. one with weekly and 1 with daily trade. But unfortunately I'm getting error of 133 on one of the mt4. Could anyone help me what is going wrong here.

HI that happens with some brokers or maybe an auto trading error_
Normally a 131 should be an order that tells you the auto trading is not on ? that green ! button on top to enable trade _
But for example i get with one particular Broker the Error 131 [Invalid Trade Volume] with a sound of failed trade_
and if i try to put the trade manually with lots @ 0.01 it rejects the trade, however if i change it to lots 0.10 or 0.1
it takes the trade ...
Have you tried to take those trades that were not opened manually ? .. try with diff lots TO OPEN AUDUSD/AUDCHF/AUDCAD SEE IF IT WORKS_
If it works, it means the broker is not allowing you to use systems with lots @ 0.01.. (for some pairs only)
You can either chat with broker and explain problem or change it and get an easy one who allows all orders any type_
(Changing to enable maximum deviation from quoted price also will not help)

I disabled the chef crosses to begin with, but now I have enabled them to see if that would resolve the issue, but no , still getting these errors.

I have only have one Indi ccfp_diff v.2 and ea ccfp weekly monitor v18.3 on m1 tf.
Do I need to install any other indies from the page one on a chart.

Ps. I opened the trades manually now, till I get some help to resolve the errors.

Sorry, I didn't mean it could be a solution because I don't know what kind of error is that 133. I was trying to understand why the difference in your signals. Ok you disabled some crosses so you got less pairs to trade but that doesn't explain why the other signals are the opposite of what the other traders (me included) have.
