Yes - crap isn't it
Inside Bar Trading RevisitedI'll change it, probably over the weekend if it's not too big a change.

Hi, yes, the EA will only look at most recent IB. I was thinking of changing this for the case where you have an IB within an IB and the smaller IB is too small (according to MinIBSize). Currently it does nothing, but perhaps it should go back to ...

Because I don't want to give up on the 30M just yet. I'm the sort of trader who keeps pushing the SL back on a losing trade
Inside Bar Trading Revisited- that's why I prefer EA's
Seriously though, if I move to 4H then there are a limited number of opportunities for me ...

Attached are the individual currency charts showing when it's a good time to trade. Note that these results are from Alpari UK's demo feed and the hours are GMT+1 on the 30M charts using Outer bar IBs. The results date from late Jan. The EA has been ...

Cumulative trading charts. Last weeks charts are here. EURJPY and GBPJPY are the big losers overall. Note that 0900 GMT is still the best time to trade, but is not as profitiable as it once was. I think this is the issue we've talked about where the ...

Hmm, you are the first person to report a crash with the EA. I can only think that, as $aly suggests, there is an issue with your older version of MT4. Build 223 is the latest one. You may be able to download it from your broker, alternatively ...

If you want to see how the broker affects the performance of an EA, then look at PipCop's site. He has the same EA's running across 9 brokers and all vary wildly. For instance, Evolution V is making $361 on the best performing one and -$115 on the ...

Further thoughts on this. Not all the world moves to DST at the same time, so trading patterns will vary whilst part of the world is using DST and the other not. e.g. when the US moves to DST Europe has not, so the US is perceived as opening an hour ...

EA Connection Checker — For all you people who run MT4 on another computer full time, here is a potential useful program I wrote that monitors the connection between MT4 and the broker. In the event of any problems, it will try to email you so ...

Hi Kirl, Let me see if I've understood you correctly. You are using the IBTrader-Ind extension to control when the EA should trade, yes? In here you are using a custom indicator and writing some logic to return true/false when it's a good time to ...

Nice smilee89. I see that the average win ratio is not much different to the results I achieve. What is different is that your average profit and average loss ratios are much the same - my average loss tends to be 5x the average profit, thus ...

Hi Kirl, The intial SL is set to the opposite side of the IB when a trade is opened. If I understand this correctly you would like to be able to add an additional 'x' pips to the SL so that it is larger and less likley to be hit? OK, I can add that ...

DST — Folks, whilst working on another EA which is very time sensitive we have noticed that the switch to DST has caused a few problems. In the UK, Alpari use BST (GMT+1) all year around. Do other brokers do this? What this means is that if ...

Thanks Abnormalone, that answers kostas1 question perfectly
Inside Bar Trading RevisitedI looked at your chart and wondered if it should have broken out on the 7th bar for a sell. However, perhaps it broke the bar but not if we include the BarOffset. A quick note on ...

OK, this has been done. The EA on the first post has been updated. Set the parameter IgnoreFirstIBBreak to true to turn this on. By default it is off. The EA will ignore the first bar to break the IB when this is true. It has had limited testing, so ...
