Absolutely. Since your strategy says look the high / low of the candle that opens 2 HOUR before London opening , i wrote the code of ea to work on 1h chart.

Zen you've attached the ea on 15 minutes time frame. It should be 1h. Never change the time frame while an ea is running. Open a seperate 1h chart. Attach the ea with default settings except commisssion. Change it to 0.55
