Jagg, you are the best, thank you so much! I think this is what I was looking for, calculation using the real volume, not the number of deals, seems to be well thought: The trade data is interpolated based on the most accurate terminal data ...

Hi guys, I have been searching this forum for days, but still can't find a simple 'volume by price' (or 'volume profile') indicator for MT5. Does someone happen to know where to find one? Just a simple side-bar (y-axis) showing cumulative daily ...

Happens every single time, literally every time. I should have moved earlier... So last time I traded on news, there was a 20 pip candle, MT4 showed that my order was opened almost exactly were I placed BUT in a second I was -20 pips! the slippage ...

Thanks achab, very informative. Are those demo accounts? And I was wondering what was going on with my trades, the Ticks file is an eye-opener indeed. On a different note, what's the alternative to retail forex? Are you saying that the only way to ...

Hi Greg I use default settings for modifying, except for when setting narrow PointsAway I respectively use lower than 10 ModifyGap. Well, I think this is one of those things you never experience on demo with slippage: 1. Absolutely zero positive ...

Guys, is it normal for a broker to open your pending order 300 points away from where it was placed? I am experiencing this almost on every release, is it just me or is it general practice? I believe it is too much for just slippage

I finally got a handle on this EA, and it is Amazing indeed! Best tool for straddle trading I have come across so far I stopped experimenting (almost) and focused on a thorough pre-release analysis of each event and fine tuning the settings, a week ...

Does anyone know what happens when orders get triggered while being modified by the EA? When big movement happens before the release time, is it forcedly closed by the EA? Say SecBMO=0, ModifyGap=10, PointsAway=20, and then price change is bigger ...

Did you use default settings?

As far as I remember you triggered both orders, the result is positive but arguably dangerous. You went into loss with one order, but thanks to SL moved into profit with another, but what if slippage/whiplashes/smaller movement happen? Also it is ...

I changed my approach today, will keep you updated, so far so good, but it might be temporary, we'll see...

Dear Alan, Dear all, Please help I am starting to give up, I wanted to test the old version manually before buying the latest one, so far I have been trading with a relatively small (but real) deposit on an NDD account, it's been 2 weeks and I am ...

arrgh my broker gave me a 20+ pip spread on EURCAD overnight rate any luck?
- wizardaram8 replied Sep 6, 2016
just traded USD PMI: +16 pips out of a 32-pip candle, not bad! although the order closed exactly half way through, I guess trailing stop of 12 points is too tight, it probably bounced back for a sec bless you Alan

Same here, pointsaway=88 and was whipsawed The problem is, there was just no news previous 1.5% forecast 1.5% actual 1.5% The issue is with the news, not with the EA Just use wider pointsaway

Thanks Alan A compliment coming from you is automatically doubled in effect

This is my personal understanding of slippage: It happens with big movements as the new chunk of information about the current price (a "tick") that comes in is substantially different from the previous information about the current price. I ...

Thanks for the tip Alan! As opportunities are rare, it does not make any sense to trade less lots, so maxspread really helps to avoid losses if the impact is not as strong as expected.
