Cheers Johnny... This actually explains why some of the 3Tier LBO boxes were not positionned where they should have in some of your screenshots (and in some of my charts as well!!!)... Damned MT4 that won't tell you about those missing bars!!! SQ

3-tier EA, not 5-tier yet — Hi, the EA still trades only the 3-tier version currently. You can still setup the 3-tier so that its far end (TP3) is your 5-tier far end (TP5). A 5-tier version EA would open 5 trades instead of 3. That has also ...

johnny, While the box is forming, ZZ-sema will follow the highest/lowest bars. On sep 2, you end up with the ZZ showing the BOTTOM side as the best place at the time the box has formed. Here is the 3-zz-sema at the end of the box on sep 2 (GU): as ...

Thanx for that change, i'll check it out. Don't know why M30 would not work, though. The EA handles every tick, not just bar close. Anyway, i will test your change. SQ

hehe.... that's my "news trading" BO template for 14:30(gmt+2) news trading; been using that for a while (since LBO V1 actually!) and works really great. Put it on M1 charts. As you can see from the template, i use a very short box -- only 5 minutes ...

EA uses the broker time — EA uses the broker time, just like all your MT4 charts. MT4 only knows about the broker time. Local time is accessible programmatically, but is not used in the EA. The Comment area of the EA (up left corner) gives you ...

It took me several minutes to understand that one... Tell me if i got it right: What you're saying is that the Stochastic indicator code invokes one of the OHLC lines to determine the hi/lo over the given %K period: High[],Low[] and Close[] for the ...

hi I'm glad you are doing well with it, but be careful with live trading the EA. It is ok trading only 1 trade at a time, but i have not yet released the fix for the Trades2&3 not moving to BE after TP1 hit. You are welcome to post your settings and ...

The box size is our SL. I put 20 pips because i think that if the box is plotted at a "good" place, then we shouldn't need a bigger SL. You can make it bigger to allow the trade to breathe more, but bigger SL also means bigger losses when it's hit. ...
