ok as promised on my earlier post.. here is what i modified. I deleted the other lines and just retained the below for the filters.

Code: Select all

   //Long trade
   //Specific system filters
   if (Bid > D1OpenPrice)
      if (StochStatus == up) 
         if (AtrPeriod == 0 || HighDistanceFromCeiling >= MinimumAcceptableRemaining)           
            SendLong = true;

Code: Select all

       //Short trade
      //Specific system filters
      if (Ask < D1OpenPrice)
         if (StochStatus == down)             
            if (AtrPeriod == 0 || LowDistanceFromFloor >= MinimumAcceptableRemaining)
               SendShort = true;
Stochs I changed to 13,5,8 as they seem to be more better fitting to the pairs i used which are
GY,GU,EY,EU,EA,EC,GA,GC (high ADR pairs)
risk of 0.25 to 1% per pair. Up to your own risk appetite.
Time, i tried FFT open today but the actual setting i have is FFT 4 Hours NY 4 Hours
Target Goal is 3% only

files attached to make things easier to test

Hi Bazze, did it work already? Usually there is something with the spread when you get that kind of error. Is your criminal ECN?

Try to compile the code first before using. :good:

I use MetisEtrade and ICMarkets and both work.
Will try GP tonight

Hi Pat,

Thanks for posting the modified EA. The EA you have uploaded has Stoch settings as before, without the changes you mentioned. Could you please clarify.

You can modify to find the right settings on your H1 chart. The one that would best fit the price action of the pair :)

Did you try the template? It should make your settings same as mine

Pat,

I have put your EA and template on Euro chart and setup for the start of US session, however the EA is trying to trade now....I can see you used version n of Steve EA and i thought this issues had been resolved...! Is it possible that you edit could have re-introduced the time issues...?

hi wiggy,
Mine seems to be working as it should. It started trading right now at FFT open as per the template. Try to double check the timings on the setup inputs.

Also to take note that time you input should be your local time when you want trading to start. HTH.

Yes Pat,

I have been running this EA for weeks now.....

this is my setting, I'm located in Melbourne Australia

extern string tradingHours="+22.00-24.00";

I did a number of things to try and correct this, but just dropped the EA one more time on the chart without doing anything different and it now indicates OUTSIDE TRADING HOURS....lets see what happened when the US opens...

You cannot use 24.00. It should be 00.00. I usually get away with it by +22.00,-23.59. obviously this is for US trading hours.
All times are UTC Page 30 of 33
