Experts: VFX London Breakout - page 4

 

Hi Vinicius,

I'am making an extensive test of the ea wich is very interesting

is it correct that the ea put more than one order on a cross in the same day? I had more that one stop loss in the same day

probably this is the reason why the test i did on the breakeven / trailing version give erratic results

is it possible to limit to one trade a day for a cross?

thanks

Hello!

No, if your broker's time is GMT, EA should be 08:00.

Please note that from 26 March 2017 London time will change (DST).

Kind regards.

Hello!   :)

This EA does not use indicators.

I need to know:

1. Are you testing at what time (GMT)?
- This EA trades during the first 5 hours of the London session.

2. What is the deposit amount of your test account?
- If you are testing on an account with a small deposit amount, set "Risk By: Fixed Lot - 0.01", for example.

3. Does your test account support micro lots?
- If your account does not support micro lots, try to make the change in the code that was suggested in post  (2017.02.07).

4. In your test account, is the price quote 4 or 5 digits?
- For the parameters in Points, the default settings are for 5 digits.

5. During the backtests, the positions are opened?
- Check the Experts and Journal tabs for possible error messages and, please let me know.

Also consider increasing the values ​​of Maximum Spread and Maximum Price Slippage (for Instant Execution accounts).

Kind regards.
 

the time to watch is server time for VPS

 

I made this error considering my time and not server time so I write this suggestion for all (my VPS is one hour ahead)

Hello Vinicius, I am using with good results your VFX London Breakout by a couple of weeks, with recommended pm setting.

I have a curiosity. I observe that the trade are often long, they can be closed in the following days. I'm wondering if in your optimization you have detected also a good set of parameters for a shorter trading, to close in few hours

I look forward your kind reply

Hi ericholzer

 

 - This version can open only one long position and one short position per day;

 - Now you can set the Trading Time in the London session (in the previous version this value was fixed in five hours);

 - Added the Bars To Close Positions parameter. The position is closed after a certain number of bars of the current timeframe. If you do not want to use this option, set 0 (zero).

 

I hope it's useful.


Kind regards.

Hello David,

 

I have not detected it yet, but I'm still testing new settings.

I'm glad the EA is being helpful to you.

 

Kind regards.
