After one day, no manual intervention and use APTM to manage trades.

So this is driving me crazy. I CANNOT get the time settings to work on my VPS. Any ideas at all from the group here? I use NY time and I have the EA set to turn on 30m after Frankfurt open (3:30) and turn off 2 hours after New York open(10:00). Broker time that is 9 to 18:00.
As you can see only 2 of the trades fall into the time period.

I am running Georges setfile also but I have had 0 trades this week. What times are you allowing the EA to run Jason? and what is your lookback set to. I have never even come close to having my dashboard light up like that yet.
Original. Nothing has been changed.
:arrrg: Somehow in the whole translating Georges set file from a txt file I ended up with a look back of 60 minutes instead of the original 240 which would explain why no trades for me.
This is what happens when you run 4 different settings for one EA lol.

I believe your timing is wrong - it should be +15:30,-10:00 but I stand to be corrected and Rene should confirm.

The manual says
TradingTimes (Default: +17:00,-22:00):
This is similar to the tradingHours setting in Steve's code. Times are in local PC time. Prefix the start time of a session with a '+' and the end time of a session with a '-', and separate these times with comma's. These times should be entered in ascending order. If there is anything wrong with the entered string, the EA will print a message on the Expertstab and assume 24-hour trading (i.e. always on). Leave blank if you want the EA to be trading 24 hours.

Closed manually as the retracement is too fast and no sure if the Trade Manager has in control or not and it is real account. Close all for a gain of 548 pips :party:
