ON PAGE 1.

Fixed a few bugs.
Added: closeWinTrades = false;, Close win trades at set times, can turn on or off, times in the EA are GMT and time on your PC, so you will need to convert them.
Added: notAddToLosing = true;, Don't add to losing trades.
Added: useMovingAverage = false;, If false and SL = 0, stoploss will be placed at the next pivot + buff pips.
Added: extern int pipView = PERIOD_W1;, gives the weekly pip count on the dash, can change to Daily or Monthly, if you prefer.

Check all your settings before running the EA, I might have changed a few things while testing.

Thanks Andy.

I'll be using the "notAddToLosing" function from the start. I think this is a very logical addition. The "useMovingAverage" could work, but I want the the core system working first before I start comparing different system setups.
Personally I don't believe in the "closeWinTrades" function. You may find out, through testing data, that most winning trades are closed at a certain time period, but that doesn't mean you get maximum profits by closing at these time brackets. ( maybe I'm wrong).

Last week was a choppy ride. I decided not to close my tades for the weekends and see what happens. 2 weeks ago this work out very well, but this week I started monday with 70 euros loss in open trades. This week I had a total loss of 44 euros and 130 euro of open trades in the red, but overall the EA is still 6% in profit!

Hi,

The trading hours function is not used for the trading times of the EA,
it is used to close the win/profit trades at specific times described by Bob.

You can change these to suite yourself, just edit the string.
You can switch the function off with closeWinTrades switch.

Question 3, should be 10 pips, that figure seems to work best
for me.

Andy

+17:00,-1.00,+1.01,-6.30,+6:31,-16.99
which means the ea would trade Asian, Europe & NY sessions closing the trades if they were winning at each session?
Thanks for including this!
no, the envelope is only open for 1 minute, 17:00, -17:01
Sojourner - I am Central time too - what are your settings?

Here is my set file, rosst. you might want to adjust other settings as they are not OOTB.
All times are UTC Page 107 of 160
