Bloody hell but I am thicker than the winner of Mr Thick of the Multiverse.

Watch your default OnlyTradePositiveSwap input. By default, it is set to 'true' and should really be 'false'.

That EU trade has triggered. You should now safely sell eu in the confident knowledge that it will be at an all time low by this time next week.

Don't know what's going on.
On the current EURUSD, as per your posted chart
I thought Stochastic was showing coming out of OS - so long setup
EA reports a Long Trade Setup
But it does not place a trade!
(HtfTimeFrame=0 LtfTimeFrame=0)

:Steve, Are you serious my EA has just triggered a buy??

Oh yes. I have bought, so the market will tank like you have never seen before. This is the Steve Market Effect. Fear it. Fear it deeply.

You could always try reading my posts, Pat. Sorry to sound arrogant, but it never ceases to amaze me that people don't, given that I am the coder of the damn thing. Try this one: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 487#p27487 I believe it is not far above yours.

Having said that, if you have indeed already set your swap filters correctly, then no idea what is wrong but I can say this; it is a problem at your end.

I know what you mean... I sometimes think that someone is watching every trade and then turning the market in the opposite direction or maybe forex has made me paranoid!

Give me some credit
I have read the posts and had sorted the swap filter
(While I may not read all the posts I do try - especially when I have a problem and I pay special attention to your posts)

OK - It must be at my end as it's working for you and others.
That's why I asked for ideas - maybe someone else had the same issue and sorted it

Must the EA be on and running at the first tick of the new D1 bar or will it trade at any time during the day? (ie does it only trade on the first tick)

At what stage does it move from having a Long or Short setup to triggering and placing the trade?

Yep. Just because your are paranoid doesn't mean the bastards are not out to get you.

We are all familiar with this scenario:
We buy: the market tanks faster than a led brick landing in a bath. And a lot further.
We sell: the market screams upwards like a space rocket aimed at Mars. Drivewn by our old friend the lunatic lift operative on acid.
We buy and sell: the market moves nowhere for months on end, leaving us with negative swap on both trades.

Hey ho.

Sorry. Remember my signature. As I sometimes remark to people, I am not joking.
