Timeshift is 0.

PolyFitBands should be in indicators' folder compiled; no need to attach it to the chart.

Do not forget to place EURCHF_M1.txt file in files folder.

I checked now - I am having the settings exactly as on the file new_settings.set on this post:

Hi newdigital,

But this post said:

TimeShift = 0 is for Alpari with GMT +1.

TimeShift = 1 is for LiteForex with GMT +2.

so, whyGMT+3 is 0 ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

As I remember - this TimeShift is working in case of ScheduleMode = 1.

In my settings - ScheduleMode = 0 so this TimeShift should not work

(it is shifting of the time related to EURCHF_M1.txt file).

TimeShift is related to EURCHF_M1.txt file to have same open/close trades for every broker.

I am using ScheduleMode = 0 and TimeShift = 0 so all the trading time is taken from EURCHF_M1.txt file without shifting. And in this case - EA will have different trading results for different broker.

I am using this settings for Alpari and for FXCM. The performance is slightly different but profitable for both.

Hi newdigital, this EA looks great by now.. I started my tests today with your presets and its going good as in your tests.

Anyway I think there still some room to improve, I can see in visual reports that sometimes it get high profit but can't lock it.

I'm right ?

Good luck

 

I do not know ... I do not like to change something which is already profitable.

if you ahve some idea so express it here and someone will code.

 

I understand.. I'm taking a look in your last statement and I see drawndown of 0.30%.. its 30% or 3% ? And what is your total drawndown till now in USD/JPY and GBP/JPY till now ? Man this profict factor of 5.36 is amazing.. hope it keep going. Thank you

 

According to visual statement image - it is 120 dollars for 2 pairs all together.

But I think - it may be more as I am making this visual statement using H4 chart but EA is trading on M1 timeframe so ... if trades were open and closed for the short time - this visual statement chart did not catch some drawdown.

Yes, drawdown is small one.

But I am not recommending to use this EA with very small deposit size.

because ... well ... min lot size is 0.01. max lot size for Alpari broker (USDJPY and GBPJPY) was 0.62 since April this year.

But if we look at the trading since June 2010 (it is account with FXCM for same pairs) - max lot size was 7. So, if max lot size = 7 (may be - once in a 2 years) - drawdown may be big one.

Some more explanation about why small drawdown:

one trade was opened todat at 05:13 (sell) for GBPJPY at 122.99 and closed at 05:41 at 122.98 with the profit = 0.16 dollars. So, drawdown was small for tghis 28 minutes (41 - 13).

More safe to trade with Alpari (or use the time same as for Alpari broker in text file) - Alpari is on GMT +3, FXCM is on GMT + 0. It means: if some bar opened at 16:41 for FXCM so this same bar is at 19:41 for Alpari.

So, as EA is using text file to trade - it may be better to change the time on this file to be same as for Alpari broker.

Example of this file:

Mon;01:30:00;01:45:00;

Mon;05:00:00;06:00:00;

Mon;06:30:00;06:55:00;

Mon;19:15:00;20:15:00;

Mon;21:30:00;22:50:00;

Tue;00:45:00;01:15:00;

Tue;01:30:00;01:45:00;

and so on ...

So, EA will start to trade at 5 am and finish at 6 am on Monday (according to this text file).

It is good for Alpari (GMT +3). In case of FXCM - it is 2 am and 3 am.
