Hi,

I need to clarify some things. If the session opens Sunday 21:00 GMT and the London session opens at Monday 8:00 GMT, does it mean the EA will take an 11 hours candle to form the zone.

And then, how much time should be allowed to break the upper or the lower part of the candle after London session opens?

Thanks

The EA should be set, if it was set to finish at 8 am at exp, now to finish at 7 am..8 if your broker uses gmt(+2/+3) like GP
Cheers

... ok but how many hours are in the candle that forms the zone and how many hours the EA waits to see if upper or lower limit is broken.

Initial time settings from Michal in post 1 was start of the Australian session till start of London Session (usually 10 hours) to form the candle, then all week to break limits.

Just trying to understand why the EndZoneDeterminingHour could be different from one pair to an other, specially with XAUUSD.

Thanks again

This depends much on the pair, what setting will here the best, you should experiment with different settings..
and the last version is much different from the initial idea, best you will read the entire development thread

I've read the developpment thread again. Not clear what were the last decisions. I've tried to read the code too but not very good at it. From what I understand, the zone is formed at the opening of the London session. Then if price breaks one zone limit, and all conditions are ok (taille zone, ADR, S/R...) then a trade is open. I don't find the delay to verify the conditions and open a trade. Is it one hour after London session ?

This could be one secound after, or xx hours after..

Thanks for your patience

No problem, always better to ask as let the things in the dark
Yes, after friday 8 pm servertime the EA wont open, and if there was an breaktout but other conditions aren't ok on that moment the EA will too not open anymore the trade(with the latest one only re-read please http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 158#p87158)

With my demo accounts with 16 pairs, all orders have be taken on Mondays. I have never seen an order taken on other days of the week. Am I wrong ?
