Hello!
My name is Valentin.I am from Bulgaria.
I'm new in the forex and in this forum and I need a little help.I think,the EA BS Asia Breakout is good for my trading style and I was testing the ea in demo for 3 days.He works but seems have a problem.The range is the same for all 3 days.And after 60 minute sleeping the ea made a new trade.My question:How the ea can change the range every day and how he can make only one trade per day?
Cheers from Bulgaria :D

Was the ea running all over the time? Or did you switch it on manually?

look at line 1080 in the code:
//Read Asian session hi-low at the start of the London session
if (TimeHour(TimeLocal() ) == Europe_Start_Hour)

So, if your EA is not running during your local hour you set in "Europe_Start_Hour", then the ea will not update the globalvariables ...

Another approach -
I think that could rewritten using ibarshift and so on, see also for examples:
http://forum.mql4.com/52745#726722
http://forum.mql4.com/52750

or like that, just as an example:

Code: Select all

int Europe_Start_Hour = 12345;
int Europe_End_Hour = 12345;
int Asia_End_Hour = 4;


  if (TimeHour(TimeLocal() ) >= Europe_Start_Hour  && TimeHour(TimeLocal() ) <= Europe_End_Hour) { // inside european session

    int CloseBarShift = iBarShift(Symbol(),60,StrToTime(DoubleToStr(Asia_End_Hour,0)+":00"),False);

    int highest_bar = iHighest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_HIGH,9,CloseBarShift);
    double h = iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,highest_bar);

    int lowest_bar = iLowest(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,MODE_LOW,9,CloseBarShift);
    double l = iLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_H1,lowest_bar);
  }
