Monday Zone Break Out EA

Post by **tibochina** » Tue Mar 11, 2014 4:52 pm

I'm new to this forum but have been a regular on Bob's 10.xxx thread for some time. I have the EA setup since Sunday 's (EST) open but haven't seen a trade. I have read about everything I've seen in the 15 pages of this thread but don't have a my arms around it yet. Please bear with me to see if I have the set up right. Using the S_R_B 6XX download from page 14 with default settings. Global Prime is the broker. I believe I saw that the time offset sets automatically. What pairs do you recommend? I see the 3 JPY pairs and the XAU trade listed. Are you guys using pairs other than these? Are you using a different magic number on each pair? Finally, Is H1 the preferred time frame? I appreciate any help or comments the group might offer.

Welcome on the thread :hi:
you can try all JPY and AUD pairs on demo please set the AdvertisedSpread always to a value that works with your broker and the pair. I had yesterday EURJPY trades, EURAUD and AUDCHF all with GlobalPrime.
Different magic numbers are not needed.
and yes you should set the EA on H1 TF..
Maybe you can post a screenshot..

Cheers

Tommaso

Hi @ All :hi:
this week was not so good, unfortunately all trades out in sl. but they are working properly and with a little more time I could have all close in profit

Thanks Tommaso for your prompt response. Screen shot attached of EUR/JPY. I set up 11 pairs on H1 charts as you suggested. I will have to go through the spread settings.

Thanks for posting your screenshot, seems all ok, but I see the were no pending prices set, the spread should work with GlobalPrime, the EndOfZoneDetermingHour you should now set to 9 as GP is now GMT+3 (DST), and make sure that the EA runs always 24/24..
For the pending prices look my attached chart

Reset to 9 as you advised. Should I be seeing some prices on the charts?

No, the prices are created at monday 9 am brokertime, so you must wait for next sunday market open..
you can too, try on a different demo next sunday market open the MondayBreakoutK.mq4 version(look first post for the download), this is the original strategy for 6xx builds..

Cheers
