Here are my current results on demo :

Closed order :

Opened orders :
oamb_actives.PNG
Orders were opened at 00 instead of 09, but I don't think that would have really changed the results.

As stated previously, 2 EA running

1. Trigger day 7, profit 50%
2. Trigger day 15, profit 33% (pending, no trades opened yet)

As you said Steve, looking good for now :clap:

Hehe. I cannot read my own charts. Turns out today is day 15 and the bot sent the second basket a few minutes ago. I haven't got the hour input correct yet.

Here's mine.

Trades open day 7, 45% TP.

11 trades hit TP at 1152.20 pips total.
12 trades still open with floating P/L -606 pips. Even if I close all these trades open, I still have more than 500 pips profit.

Waiting for trading day 20...

Hi all.

I set my OAM to start on the 11th day at 8am London Time using ICMarkets ECN Demo. Everything else is ootb so 33% TP.

As you can see I still have 22 open trades at -426 pips and one closed trade at 73 pips. Amazing what a difference a few days make.

Hope this information is of value

Kind regards Rapple

Hi

The day to trade is not a calendar day but a "work" day, if you wanted to open the trade today you should have made it 17 if you have sunday candles or 14 if you have 5 full daily candles.

O, ok, thanks for the clarification Elixe :) I've set it to day 17 and hour 10 and I'll see if it opens the trades. I don't plan to use these settings for actual trading, just want to make sure the EA is working correctly.

Weird, still won't trade and no errors, I tried day 14 and 17 just to be sure, any idea what else could be wrong?

Today is day 16. Looks to me as though a revisit of post 1 here will be helpful to you.

I am enjoying this. Most of my day 15 trades are in profit and the losers only by a handful. Three of them have already closed at tp. My 'banked' profit is outstripping my dd by 600 - 700 pips. The gap between banked profits and dd seems to stretch in my favour constantly, bit by bit. :clap: I am used to it working the other way around. :roll:

Early days, so let's not get excited. We shall see. For now, the results are good.
