4 trades have hit tp, so 19 remain outstanding. Closed profit pips are c. 230, whilst closing the remaining trades would leave a profit of about 170 pips.

Going to leave the trades to run and see what happens. I am just getting itchy feet before the 7th trading day.

Spare a thought for me, I'm not starting mine till day 17 The table I posted on page1 shows day 17 as the 1st day with no red numbers, so I expect it to go right into profit with no DD at all

My parameters are :

Code: Select all

SendTradesDay = 7;
SendTradesHour = 9;

My trades got triggered 09/06 at 23h CET. I'm in France, CET (GMT + 2).

So, what I found out :
In GetTodayTradingDayNumber, you are counting TradingDay based on TimeCurrent(), that is the server time, for GP it is GMT + 3.

In onTick function, you are defining the hour :

Code: Select all

int hour = TimeHour(TimeLocal() );

(starting to see were i'm going ? )

Lower in the onTick, we have this :

Code: Select all

   if (DayTradingStatus == opentrading)
      if (hour >= SendTradesHour)

That's were lies the issue I think, when TimeCurrent() switched to day 7 / 00:00, TimeLocal() was day 6 / 23h. So DayTrading was saying "Hey Hour, go on i'm on the 7th day", and hour answered "Okay then, I'm at 23, that's way greater than 9, let's send thoses trades".

Haven't tested yet a solution as I just found that out, but just switching to an exact hour check will probably solve this.

There's probably the same issue in the closing code.

So I think I am going to run the following demo's:

1. Based on last 12 months analysis Trade Day 7 using TakeProfitMultiplierPercent at 50%
2. Based on last 12 months analysis Trade Day 7 and using Paul's MPBM set for 250 pips TP per pair (does anyone know if MPBM has been update to work on Empty4 6xx?)
3. Based on last 12 months analysis Trade Day 7 and using the average highest pips won & lowest pips won, I will set an individual TP for each pair.

922 : if (type == OP_SELL && TakeProfitMultiplierPercent > 0)

My 3 demo's fired up yesterday:
Demo 1 & 2, Day 7 - 8.00am start time, which is 1 hour into the new trading day here.
Demo 3 - 7.00am start time (1 hour earlier at day open)

Demo 1 & 3 results almost identical


Demo 2 - OAM set all TP at the same price as the open price...just wondering if that would be caused by changing the TakeProfitMultiplierPercent to 0.0? I did have MPBM set up to manage the trades as a basket. I re-set the EA to open on Day 8 so will see if the same thing occurs again.
