also - the EA will need to continue to manage any and all positions that remain open AFTER the end time setting.

future versions of the EA will have to ignore it. i am also running some test w simialr Trading hours - 1 am to 7 am. my acct balance would be positive if the EA didnt take the late signals and enter trades exactly at 1 am based on old signals. once ...

notes re: v1.2 and time parameter — i think the EA failed to enter on valid signals due to an issue with the time parameter ( a guess). magic number/take profit parameter would be nice too. pic att.

this type of setup - Sell, Sell, Buy (only w/good profit/reduced lot size) A to B = Sell if u can catch it. B to C= Retrace C to D = second chance beyond D = likely to chop around, consolidate or reverse. in this case, beyond D made a dbl bottom, ...

yes, i understand your point. style comes into play. it is not a setup that i would take at random. i actually was watching something else too for confluence. the 5 min trade setup is something i am experimenting with between 7 am and 9 ish; until ~ ...

yes. manually overiding the EA also causes some issues. i maunually closed out 1 trade and it re-entered me on the next bar open due to old signal. i also wonder how the EA trade time treats any open trades during the time after the last hour in the ...

Thanks. Yes, your points are valid. such a setting would be for experimentation. with a signal like SN maybe swapping it 75 then 25 might be better. also - TF have slightly different personalities so it might work better on smaller TF. don't know... ...

idea for retracement parameter for scaling in — since mkt can (but not always) retraces after a valid signal, it would be nice to have a retracement entry setting to control scaling in of positions. Since lot size is already determined by EA ...

i think if u enter manually the bot wil still manage the stops and take profit settings. i am conducting an experiment where i entered manually and when the nxt bar opened (HRLY) did not enter me in a trade based on a 'late signal' like it has in ...

OR - if u leave the EA on then quit ur platform and open it hours later and an old signal exists, u may be entered into a trade. that just happened to me.

no. sorry. 2 am to 7:59 am est is good. it just looked like u got entered on a new trade at 8 am eastern if i read the statement correctly. i was suggesting maybe the time range could allow for "minutes" because i think there are times where i would ...

right. got to get the EA to only take the first signal after the dot. OTHERWISE - wait for next dot and signal. what happened to u is exactly what we need to avoid. starting your platform only to beentered late into a basket of trades. in time we ...
