I very much understand the problem, it is why for years I never traded with SL and TP or they were based on programs running from my computer. Scalping however, requires tighter SL or you never will make money. I am sure the Jump EA will eventually be an all inclusive EA. Steve's MPTM has become so big with add ons it is really time for a simpler MPTM designed just for this system. We will upgrade it with each adjustment. I really want to finalize the trading system first and then add the bells and whistles. I am sure you appreciate seeing how a trading system is put together and the amount of time and multiple parties it takes to get one working.
For example Don's work on trying to get the Pivot and Open to GMT time so we have a universal system. That takes tremendous work and patience. Once he gets that to work then he has to make sure it uses as little CPU as possible so everyone can use it instead of just the people with super computers. I have a dual core with 8 ram. If it slows down or freezes my computer then I know others cant use it. So these things do take time. But hidden sl tp etc. will end up in the final product but other things need to take place first.

Thx. I understand that and it's logical. Great work of you all! Very nice forum here.

my be this function will help you for GMT time...

Code: Select all

#import "kernel32.dll"
int  GetTimeZoneInformation(int& TZInfoArray[]);
#import

#define TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN   0
#define TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD  1
#define TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT  2

int TZInfoArray[43];	

datetime TimeGMT() 
   {//modified by euclid
	int ret = GetTimeZoneInformation(TZInfoArray);
	int bias = TZInfoArray[0];
	if (ret == TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD) bias+=TZInfoArray[21];
	if (ret == TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT) bias+=TZInfoArray[42];
	return( TimeLocal() + bias * 60 );
   }

It has ibarshift set to false, so if the criminal does not have the equivalent of the 17:00 bar on a certain day (sunday or H4 chart not having specific time looking for) then the next bar in time should be used.

I gave this code that should be able to be implemented easier, since both function to get EasternOffset and GMTOffset are both in here and give info on chart for both and functions anyone can use to get the offset they need, even though code in start uses EasternOffset.

Any coder is welcome to improve and/or update another indicator with these functions. I have it set to updating as paragraph below says, so shouldn't be slow after first couple of minutes of week, because the offset used is locked in and not looked for again. Once StartBar code fixed for open, can be used in pivots also.

Implemented a function in start that checks the criminal time, and then checks it again in a minute, and if it's different in a minute, then that means the market is going, then I can get EasternOffset, and set WeekEndMode to True, and lock in AutoForexDayOffset as EasternOffset. This way, it checks the criminals time to see if criminal is going, and then only has to get offset (go to the web) once.

Note: Even though I implemented as much as I did today, StartBar is still wrong it looks like (I set WeekEndMode to true and on FXDD set AutoForexDayOffset = -7 to get what I think is MB Trading/Eastern time).

Kindest regards,

Don

Hey Bob,

How was the Calzone. Hope you had time for a nice nap after the A.Y.C.E.

Looking at the template, was wondering if #8 should read:
"Pink and Gold lines = Market is Ranging = Smaller Profits" rather than
"Pink and Yellow lines = Market is Ranging = Smaller Profits"

No big deal, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
