In that case I shall leave the code as it is. I coded my understanding of what you sent me originally, and this appears to be working fine. |

My charts continued to show the daily target hit message after the open of a new D1 candle. I have looked at the code and think we need a new line in void CanWeStopTrading() because DailyTargetHit is only reset if there are no trades in the history tab - and they are showing in mine even though it is a new D1 candle and my tab is set to show only trades taken today. I will fix this in the morning. In the meantime, anyone experiencing the same just close down and restart your platform. |

I am getting a lot personal pms' for my set file and my codes. The code here is perfect in the first post here. I share almost all the setting here. Only thing missing from the code is the big round number trading (which I personally wont recommend). The original thread in FF aims for 10% weekly target (or 2% daily). With this code here, we can achieve that within a day or two trading. Question is, have you all got the will power to set a reasonable target for the week and quit? My weekly target is 15% at the moment. I did not expect to hit that limit within 2 hrs of London on Monday. Now, I need to ask myself whether I should stop or continue to bugger up my 21% gain to -30%. Hard question to answer |

London open two losses today. Should have deleted GU pending short when GY hit sl. Part of trading to accept losses. 9am London no trades taken bcos of massive news for GBP. -6% for today. Asian trade AU BE after moving +7pips. Will wait for US open for the last trades if any. Jus stick to minimal number of pairs for trading. I analysed all my trades and now only trading AU, AY (Asia) GU,GY,EU,EY (London & US) |

Been naughty and took the EU short trade at 00 level right after the news. Managed to get +3% for this trade. GBP news trades always go into losses from experience. AUD and EUR at least will break even before moving against and very less slippage. If we stick to EU,EY,GU,GY for London & US (minus the news time), I think we should make a decent returns weekly. Unfortunately today been bad with losses but still up for the week because Monday trades were good. Still another 3 trading days to go. Anything goes |

Bonjour Dsugums and Steve, Many thanks for sharing your approach and recommendations.. One question: Would it feasible to code a filter in the EA "No trading < 1 hour before red news " and "No trading < 30 min after red news" ? Merci |

V 1n is in post 1. There is a basic logic bloop in V 1m, which would result in not always canceling the 'trading done for today' flag at the open of a new D1 candle. Those of you who can (and if there is still anyone here who cannot then be ashamed of yourself) make the change yourself and conserve your hard-wired settings:
Code: Select all |

Hi dsugums, A suggestion...maybe you can check out how long it takes for a trade typically to hit tp. Probably good to have a filter: 1. If trade time > 55 minutes (example) 2. Trade profit > 1 pip Close the trade. Might be nice to close off trades which are dragging out too long. Cheers |
