Last night AUDJPY closed again at rollover, together with a bunch of other ones gaining 109 pips.
I hate it when a mulfunctioning program delivers positive results.... :arrrg:

I changed the inputs, and among others, I let it stop during rollover, and set the spread detectingmode at 1000 times the average spread.

Will keep you posted.
Do me a favour please. Do a search for "}//if (!IsTradeAllowed() )"

There are two code blocks that follow:

Code: Select all

   //In case any trade closures failed
   if (ArraySize(ForceCloseTickets) > 0)
   {
      MopUpTradeClosureFailures();
      return;
   }//if (ArraySize(ForceCloseTickets) > 0)      
      
   //Rollover
   if (DisableEaDuringRollover)
   {
      RolloverInProgress = false;
      if (AreWeAtRollover())
      {
         RolloverInProgress = true;
         DisplayUserFeedback();
         return;
      }//if (AreWeAtRollover)
   }//if (DisableEaDuringRollover)
Swap the order around, so that the roll over check comes first i.e.

Code: Select all

   //Rollover
   if (DisableEaDuringRollover)
   {
      RolloverInProgress = false;
      if (AreWeAtRollover())
      {
         RolloverInProgress = true;
         DisplayUserFeedback();
         return;
      }//if (AreWeAtRollover)
   }//if (DisableEaDuringRollover)
      
   //In case any trade closures failed
   if (ArraySize(ForceCloseTickets) > 0)
   {
      MopUpTradeClosureFailures();
      return;
   }//if (ArraySize(ForceCloseTickets) > 0)      
I cannot see it making any difference, but is easy enough to try.

Read the effing manual, ok?

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

Unfortunatually to no avail... :arrrg: :arrrg:

Same thing happend, irregular closures of both winning and losing trades.
I can't understand why the same thing running on a lower TF has no issues, and on D1 keeps throwing curveballs at me.
This weekend, I'll swap all inputs and let it trade the H4 with the same style.
Maybe I can find out if it is profitable enough to commission Steve to write an EA for the D1 on its own.

What REALLY irritates me, is that I'm up 1.5% on the balance with this error in place... :arrrg:

So apparently HGI indicator has expired, according my Experts tab. Can it be the reason why bunch of my trades (but not all) inexplicably closed at midnight? HGI is set to false in settings.

I don't think the standalone indicator is the solution here.
