Weird thing I would like to see if anyone else has run across. I cant seem to get the time settings to work at all on a VPS. Rene it should just run off the local OS time of the VPS instance right?

Good morning :)

Went to bed without turning the EA on as my timing always seem off and resumed trading about one hour ago when the EA was now turned on. About 30 minutes ago the enclosed trades were triggered and within the 30 minutes 129 pips cool reward with no drawdown :hi:

Not bad for less than 2 hours work and I'm done for the day.

Shalom friends

I got a bit distracted but have reverted to the original idea behind this concepts, which was to trade ONLY fresh signals after stale signals are eliminated. It is the most stable thing that should give high probability trades with low risk, low stress culminating in good reward. If we are trading strength against weakness, then there should be no drawdown at all. Some food for thoughts for you guys.

Hi George. This is with your M30 setfile, right?

So George exactly how did you change from what you were trying before? This thing is made to ONLY trade fresh signals I thought.

You have to reduce the LookbackMinutes considerably.

Looking good so far!
But I have a question regarding re-entries, after the first trade on a pair is executed, I get no more trades on that pair until the first trade is closed
I have the re-entry set to 900 seconds (15 minutes), but even though the entry condition still exists no further trades are ever taken?
Is anyone else having this issue :?:

The Captain just answered you - reduce the LookbackMinutes considerably and the EA will only trade fresh signals hence eliminating unnecessary drawdowns. Just MHO and 2 cents

It is not taking fresh signals but both fresh and stale signals, when you increase the LookbackMinutes and this is one feature that was supposed to stand this tool out from similar dashboards.
