Try this website. You can adjust according to the time zone you live in. It's a Forex Market Time Converter. I hope this helps.

My basket opened yesterday was stopped out. I want to open another basket after the loss, I tried to set a new time and new days of the week, however, the EA didn't open any new trades, any body knows why? Thank you.

Make sure you clear your global variables. That should do it, if not try removing ea and re-attach.

We have a number of forward testing weeks complete. I was wondering, is there any number of pips positive the basket has always hit every week? 200, 300 pips etc? If so, maybe we should set that to be our TP?
If you are using the weekly signal on a Monday and trying to let it close on a Friday then take a look at the Wkly March 17 Tab on the google spreadsheet.

How does everybody think change TF to 1440 instead of 10080. Since we are trading within one week, based on daily time frame is more accurate I think. weekly time frame is too long for just one week trading.

Look through the thread. Tiivaa has 1 min 2016 & 2017, 1 min graphs for each week.

Test it, collect the data and post the results. Maybe it is more accurate. We have only done 1 month of forward tests at the end of the week. I can make room on the google sheet to collect the results if you want?

Cool! Seems to be all kinds of ways to make pips, different start hours, days and varying durations in length...etc. Waiting for xmess7 to incorporate risk management into EA and for Monaghan to report on his trading live experience.

This was a good day, my 9:30 GMT basket has ALL positions in profit..I opened baskets from 9:30 to 11:30 GMT at 30 min difference and at some point I was about 1000 pips up from the 5 baskets.

Green pips to all

Hi pipchef,
If you are using v33 just click on the Reset Globals button and reload the EA. If not then hit F3 and delete all global variables manually that start with xm7 then reload the EA.

Or simply set the day/hour input to the next da, no need to reload EA. in thIs case u have to wait for the next day to happen.

You see the EA is designed to stop trading after it reaches either TP ,SL, or if u hit the CloseTrades button. The CloseTrades button is an emergency button so that is why the EA will also stop trading when that is hit.. The EA then resumes trading on the next day and hour input.

If you have the computer resources, maybe try setting the intraday net take profit to 50 pips. From my brief testing of CCFp (about 2 weeks), the 50 pips seemed to be a minimum for the intraday signals. Of course things could be different now.

Merlyn:
Could you do me a favor and post again that info you had about the Bacon, Sausage, Thing.
Please display the market watch window (broker hour), the Chart display that shows both GMT and Broker hours and that extra display you had that displayed your local time. Oh, and also the global variables. In particular I want to see what the brokerGMTshift is.

This will help me verify if the hour adjustment I make are correct. I noticed in previous image you provided that GMT is actually pointing to BST. Since GMT is still GMT it cannot be displayed when in fact that number is BST. Plus I want to confirm that the adjustment that was made is correct and that the broker hour is correct with respect to GMT. The key thing is that the broker hour shift vs the GMT shift is correct. If that shift is not correct then we will have an additional hour added to the broker. Which will not batch the expected time that the user wants the basket to open.

Hello Jess,

Please find below the original image and one I've just taken showing the extra bits you requested.

I managed to rectify the time issue myself which is why I deleted that post. By replacing the"0" against "LocalGMToffset" in Global Variables with 1 and then resetting the EA it all displayed as it should.

In practice I prefer GMT Current Hour showing BST as, as I am in the UK, it shows me the correct time for London open without my having to remember to adjust for Daylight Saving, but that's just me.

Keep up the good work, it's all coming together nicely
