Help setting up SBB

Is there something wrong with the time settings in SBB? I set the tradingtime to +00.01.-09.00,but it opens trades outside this time?

Check out if you did use the right format it should be Example: '+07.00,-10.30,+14.15,-16.00' and note it is the time on your computer used not the brokertime...

Cheers

Look more closely at your input posted here. I spotted your mistake instantly. You will learn from finding it yourself.

I don't object to other inexperienced users posting your bloop; you can all learn from it.

Oh, and never ask this again. The code was provided by Baluda. Baluda is one of the, if not the, best and most experienced coders at shf and this code has worked flawlessly for years. The idea that it might be faulty is ludicrous beyond belief.

In future, instead of wondering if code is faulty, wonder if you are doing something wrong. Us coders are getting quite good at this stuff these days.

Sorry,it was not my intention to say something negative about Baludas work...Not at all...

Typically, the ATR is based on 14 periods and can be calculated on each timeframe as basis, but mostly the daily basis is used. So this indicator makes sense for calculating SL or TP on a volatility basis, or it can be used as an filter to exclude trades in phases with not enough volatility or to much volatility.

Thanks Tommaso...It makes sense. I am guessing that is why Steve had ATR set to a min of 100. So the pairs would be more likely to hit the target as a basket.

Hi,

I have a question about the Trading Hours parameters and I hasten to add I'm not questioning the code only the parameters as they apply in my situation.

I'm located in Melbourne Australia and I notice that when the market opens at 09:00AEST (22:00GMT) the SSB EA still stays at EXPERTS DISABLED.....OUTSIDE TRADING HOURS...until I believe 10:00AEST (I'm not able to confirm it starts exactly at 10:OOAM as I'm away from my platform at that time).

I have OOTB Trading Hours parameters ie. Blank Input for Sunday and Monday etc.

I've tried stating explicit opening hours for Monday local time (+09:00) but it still stays disabled. Can anyone who is in AU possibly tell me what I'm doing wrong?

thanks

Webby,

To help you we need a screen shot that shows the platform time and your broker.

HI RM,

Here's a screenshot as of now but if you mean when the problem is occurring then I'll have to wait until start of next week. My broker is GP (demo).

thanks

No Need to wait until next week, just go to the EA properties (if it is still set to how it was configured before the missed open time) and save as a setfile. Once you have done this attach the setfile here or send to me in a PM.
