Thanks...

Just waiting for some exits but loving the results so far considering this is just every M15 signal on it's own.. +5% in less than an hour not bad for mid afternoon haha!
too funny..! I mean I only gave this Beast just one M15 crossover only to test it out .. and what do I get?
... + 14% in a session. Gertje perhaps you are right about just letting it go without restriction. :uff:

Anyway I shall readjust my expectation for now and stick to the plan. New clean £500 demo. M15 in direction of H1 and H4... Session times only. Let's see what the last Friday of the month can bring. Today has been an awesome day though hey :yahoo:

And on a separate note, I've messaged Steve and he's happy to collect and split any donations for this little project.

From now until the end of next week the door is open to give something back. We get so so much for free here at SHF and I am very grateful.

I've been a member here for roughly 3.5 years and like many people I found this place from following Bob's teachings initially at ForexFactory. I never contributed there.. because I wasn't ready and also the setup and energy just didn't seem quite right but I did read and I did learn and I followed the yellow brick road here.

I've been trading on and off for 10 years now and it's only the last year or two I've started making some money. I quit my job last year to focus on family and trading and it's the best decision I ever made. Sometimes it's tough going just me and my charts so this forum has been a great source of inspiration. I've shared plenty of what I thought I knew but I've learned so much more. Between the teachings of Captain Jack, and Bob and the ideas of Steve, Gertje, Zennor, Pipsmasher, Rene, Boulder, and now Mathias and more I feel I've really matured as a trader and that's just one of the reasons this is a good opportunity for me to give back.

So I just want to say cheers all of you. This is an awesome ride.

Now we all know Steve's Paypal account.. or at least we should. It is pianodoodler@hotmail.com

It's important any donations related to this little project have a common reference so for my one moment of glory the reference is TraderJoeForex :lol:

And this pool of funds will be split between Compassion, Steve and Mathias.

I've just sent mine so everyone that has offered to chip in and anyone that hasn't you've got 7 days from now to share what you feel this little adventure is worth.

Are the lot size based on ATR calculating correct? All lots for me say .01 base on the set file provided.

Awesome EA and dashboard. I am new to using EAs and have read your pdf. I am a little confused be the trading hours and session times. I have set session times to Brisbane times. With trading hours I have just set it to +0:00,-23:59.

If I want to test this strategy as per TFJ's strategy of entering on M15 with H1 and H4 in agreement and exiting on opposite M15, is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks!!
Should be fine .. just make sure SL and TP are 0 and trailing stop/BE are Off unless you want them.. i dont. Stick it on demo tonight and lets see.

Thanks Trader Joe!

I have it set on demo and will watch with great interest.

I have been struggling to trade Zennor's strategy mainly because of the timezone difference. Last night I went to bed at 11pm local time and had a lot of crossovers which happen shortly afterwards that I didn't trade. I am now seeing if I can bring it back under control and get to 1.5% like I did yesterday :smile:

It is like this:
If you just want tradinghours like 8 - 16 GMT then you set TradeHours to you equivalent local time and it will only allow new trades between those time.
If you want it 24/5 then you can leave the field TradingHours empty.
And if you do not want any other filter of the TradingHours settings then you can just set UseTradingHours to false.

Then SessionTimes is another thing.
Here the thinking is that you only allow trading of symbols where at least one currency belong to the active session.
This means that In London session you only allow symbols that contain EUR, USD, CHF.
And for NY session you only allow symbols that contain USD, CAD etc.
Then there may be overlapping session where we allow more symbols like when both London and NY are open, then we allow EUR,GBP,CHF,USD,CAD as one of the currency in the symbol.
And it is up to you to state when each session start and end.
This is very powerful if used correct.

I will try to explain better in the next version of documentation.

Thanks Mathias. That explanation makes perfect sense. Thank you :good:
