Hey Cuzgeorge

Where does it say that we should enter the start time 1 hour before the London Open ?

My understanding is that we should enter the time of the London Open for the country we are in, so if as you say your local time is 9am when London opens then you should put 9 not 8.

Have I missed something ?

Cheers
Kim

That means "out of the box" or default settings.

my thoughts

Without using BleakEven and Jumping

Possibility 1 - lost 5%

Possibility 2 - won 15%

If we use BleakEvenTargetPips 10% and 5% BleakEvenTargetProfit

Possibility 1 - lost 5%

Possibility 2 - won 5%

Possibility 3 - won 15%

If we use 5% JumpingStopTargetPips

Possibility 1 - lost 5%

Possibility 2 - won 0%

Possibility 3 - won 5%

Possibility 4 - won 15%

UseCandlesTickTrailingStop and also a good option for this EA
someone here did not think would be better in percent?

Today should be a no-brainer: eurusd dropping like a stone since Aussie open. No matter what hour you input in MarketHourOpen - bot should be looking to go short - even if you want it to trade Tokyo open.

Why did it go long then?

PS. to avoid any doubt: at this time (I'm in GMT zone, it's 9:34am)current open 1hr bar is green, eurusd could retrace little bit, but I don't know it yet. All is see is red 1hr bars one after another since Sydney open

Hi 4xtn, all
i'm getting my a.. handed to me by Balls this week and although i have not manually interfered, i think i will start to do so next week. The account would have looked far better if i had done so, i think. I'll try from next week though.
i also had a long this morning that SL'd out to a huge loss. I was'nt watching the charts, but i have my second demo kicking in at 13. Thats 3,5 hours before the unemployment figures kick in. (gmt 2 my side, at 2-30 unemplyment figures are scheduled. my crim is gmt).
I agree with the short movement of the euro today, but leaving the ea's to trade hands free until the end of fri.
Lets see!
regards
cuzgeorge

I had an emergency on sunday, i had to go into hospital with pain in my right kidney area. my urine trackt was blocked with a kidney stone. i had an emergency operation and they placed a stent in the trackt. (this is like forcing a train through a normal door. What i mean is they place an optiscope up my penis through your urine trackt). but i was under General anesthesia, the stones are still there they will operate again and take them out then, in 4-6 weeks time.

I returned home the next day and started trading on tuesday. the basket went against me about 15% stayed like it all day till the next day then hit the basket tp. 2 trades did hit there sl but in the end made a profit of arround $300.00

Started the EA this morning 6 Pairs traded. The basket tp was hit this afternoon for $1530.40 profit.

So the method is still going strong.

I am going to Holland tonight for the weekend will be back monday to keep on testing this idea.

JTH

Have a safe trip and hope you get better soon.
It s only a matter of time before we all get that train looking at our door. Lets hope old Balls will make the pain a bit better with a few winners along the way.
Nice results jth,
i checked on my settings and saw that i had turned off my BE. :shock:
Might be the reason i've had a bad run this week.
turned it back on and hopefully we'll make up the loss.

regards and stay well,
cuzgeorge
