I've been having problems making the ATR BE work, perhaps i am missing something here (if this has been already been answered please be kind enough t o direct me to the appropriate answer.....).
My issue is that although i've set up the Break even (BE) feature to kick in at ATR x1 I can't seem to make it work. ATR stop loss seems to be working just fine

Thanks in advance
Matt

I might have added the input but forgotten to add the code that makes it work. I will take a look later.

I think pending trades that don't trigger are set to expire at the end of the week that they were placed. There is an option in your settings where you can specify the hour on Friday i.e. 16 is default.

So in your case it seems EG didn't go low enough to activate the multis in that week, only the main trade got triggered.

Not sure if you can turn off this "FridayExpiryPendingHours" without altering the code.

If you want to go down that route, let us know how it goes.

My Basic question, open my chart in full-screen (32" monitor) Chart in full screen and I still can't read all the text that is printed on the background. How can I scroll the text?
Right-click in chart, Properties, Common, check "Scale Fix" will not work. It scrolls the candles around but not the Bot text.
Thanks

The only dumb question to ask is the one not to ask.

Will we need to modify our tradingHours settings due to Daylight Savings Time change in USA? Here's an email I got from one of my non-US-based brokers-

"Please be aware that trading hours will be affected by the Daylight Saving Time (DST) change in the US this weekend, when "end of day" will shift from 22:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT (Empty4 server time).

Market Opening Time
The currencies markets will open at 21:00 GMT (equivalent to 17:00 EDT) on March 8th, 2015, rather than at 22:00 GMT."

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think it doesn't really matter at all. It doesn't matter what time zone you're in or if you have DST or not. It all comes down to broker time. Typically you want the EA to act just after the formation of a new candle, which normally for most brokers will be at 0:00. So just leave the setting at default and you should be fine.
