    Ok, got a few minutes to get this written:
    Here are my initial thoughts on how the EA should work:

    1) EA is placed on one chart to open and manage all trades
    2) Perhaps there should be a variable on opening time, but for now it seems that 08:00 GMT would be good.
    3) EA would open trades and set T/P levels indicated
    4) EA would have a variable for RR ratio to set the stop loss but initially I would think 1 to 1 stop loss to take profit ratio.
    5) EA would also have a basket close option based on $ or pips triggering global closer of all trades
    6) EA would have a stop loss to break even function for each trade with user defined variables (example when a trade is up say 20 pips, break even is set at 10 pips - ie stoploss)

    I think this would be great for starters - I doubt much more is needed.

    Let me know if any clarifications are needed.... Thanks :)

    Was just thinking that another close option would be to simply close the trade when the signal disappears.

    [QUOTE = "Telac, príspevok: 187906, člen: 33541"] Ďakujem za návrh; Urobil som to v minulosti a to funguje - len dúfam, že pre úplnú automatizáciu :)[/ QUOTE]
    Just one question. These are daily signals. Do you close everything at midnight?

    I really have not used a fixed time, I just let trades take profit (as set from the indicator) as the days goes along and then most often I just close the basket when I see a good profit which is often somewhere between 16:00 and 17:00 GMT.
    Another approach which I have not tried but which seems to make sense: I often see a nice basket profit a couple hours after London opens - only to get eaten away until around the US opening time when it often rebounds. I'm sure profits could be maximized by closing an hour or 2 after London opens, then re-enter again just before US open. This is too complex to ask for a Robot and the times not precise but something you could capitalize on manually I think.

    Thank you for your information. I like to start testing from Monday. Spontaneous attempts in the last two days are encouraging.

    Often things work out just fine, but there are days obviously when things go sideways. Having an EA just makes the job easier but I think the key is still to watch over things and intervene when necessary. Lately there has been some news spikes that have caused some havoc with the trades - I guess this could also be a feature that could be added to an EA to simply not trade pairs that have heavy news during a given day.

    The basket profit is not really a strategy as much as a personal thing for me. I live in Thailand and as such my trading day starts between 2pm and 3pm local time - I just find it's nice to be able to trade until I go to bed when often I'm in a nice profit situation and I just sleep better if the trades are closed at that point......lol

    As far as Take Profit - this is not set by indicator value?

    Will be interesting to see how it turns out using trading hours and cutting looses short and letting the winners run. I think perhaps this is the key - also employing some kind of break even pips may help to keep things going the right way. The EA will allow for more controlled testing - but my experience trading just the signals manually has been good overall but I really have not had any hard set rules doing it this way, just observations on what seems to work.

    Both the EA and indicator are time frame independent - can be run on any time frame with the same results.
