Don thank you so much for your work on universalizing the daily open. Hopefully in a week or two we will have a smooth running system with clear directions to trade.

All of you thank you for your support. This is really looks exciting.

I am going to change it from calculating GMToffset each tick. I need to come up with code for that. If I put it in init(), and the user puts it on on the weekend, it will be wrong thereafter. If I just put it in start(), it runs every tick, but as soon as market starts, it's correct. I must find a way to put it in start, not evry tick, but not wait an hour either, since the user might make trading decisions with it.

Kindest regards,

Don

P.S. Your input always means a lot to me.

George

   static datetime LastCheck;  //variable to hold the last time we checked GMT offset

   //only set GMT offset once a day
   if (LastCheck != iTime( NULL, PERIOD_D1, 0 ) )
   {
       LastCheck = iTime( NULL, PERIOD_D1, 0 ); //update the last time we checked to be this daily bar

       //now run our test like before
       if (WeekEndMode)
           intOffset = WeekEndGMTOffset;
       else
           AutoGMTOffset();
   }

Hi nanningbob,

Congratulations, nice work. What do you think to update first post with this new data. It would be nice for newcomers here.

Cheers,

99 week data-- 4 pairs over 140 and 13 over 100 pips a day average
12 week data-- 1 pair over 140 (gbp/nzd) and only 1 over 100 (eur/nzd)

The market is now less volatile than it was 2 years ago and less volatile than it was a year ago.

Now we know how to basically trade and set our TP. Excel sheet data attached

Here are the two tick generators from this forum, as Bob mentioned:

1. One is attached, no doc available
2. The 2nd exe file I am not allowed to attach. But you can google for mt4ticker (free.)

Athar.

Although I haven't been able to find code to give user input for pairs listed, I was able to shorten the list by adding input for MaxSpreadToShow and set it at 4 default. Now it's a shorter list?

Thanks for the user input (literally)

P.S. Once I nail down the open we'll be good.
There's a pic that shows the code of Market_Hours_sw with my intOffset (GMTOffset). The two highlghted lines are what we are going to be looking at. It appears that per this indicator, New York Close is 21:00 GMT. This has been my experience with FXDD close/open also. This is GMT-3, so then I show a pic where the change would be made in my code (really Daily Pivots code I am using since it was easy and made most sense and offset every day, not just added sunday candle to monday and saturday candle to friday). Where it shows input -intOffset for PivotDay function used in two places, I would just (I think) add code -3 so code reads ((-intOffset)-3) in those two places. Fix should be easy, just gotta see what goes on at market open (hope I'm awake LOL).

Kindest regards.

Don
