Suggestion: Would it be possible to add a parameter for the maximum allowed spread? I noticed that some currency pairs (on one of the 28 pairs that i am testing) have really big spreads at certain times during the day (often late in the evening or at night). I would like a setting in the parameters where I could simply say: don't open a trade when the spread is more than x pips. I have seen spreads that go over 25 pips (250 pipettes for a 5-digit broker) during the night. I would like to limit my trades to a maximum spread of 10 or 15 pips. (EURDKK goes to above 80 pips at some times, but i stopped trading that all together - not a member of my 28 pairs).
This is a bit of code that I use in my programs:
Inserted Code
// === Check spread, do not trade huge spreads ===
// If the spread is unreasonable high it becomes difficult to make
// any profit at all because the chance of gaining just the spread
// is very low. The spread is not constant so we better check it.
double ls_allowed_spread = cSpreadLimit;
double ls_current_spread = MarketInfo(i_symbol, MODE_SPREAD);
if (ls_current_spread > ls_allowed_spread) {
// str_detail = "actual: " + DoubleToString(ls_current_spread,0)
// + " - allowed: " + DoubleToString(ls_allowed_spread,0);
//return NTR_HIGH_SPREAD;
... do not trade huge spread ...
}
In my code I use a function that checks all kinds of no-trade conditions. If a no-trade condition is found the function returns with an explanation (str_detail) and the type of error (NTR_HIGH_SPREAD). Just an example of how I do this.

I have been doing volunteer work for the past few days and I haven't had a chance to try out the lower timeframes. As soon as weather conditions change here I'll post some results.
Hi. I came across this thread and this incredible EA couple of days ago and I must say that this is amazing. However I know that this is supposed to trade on higher TF, but I like better low TF and got idea from MT Pockets to test M5 with H4 inside bar and it looks very good. I wanted to test in hard conditions with little deposit of $400 with fixed lot 0.1 no exit, TP and SL 100 pips and trailing start 60 pips. I've got around 50% DD first day after opening asian sesion and after that got in profit. This is demo account and just 2 days old but it looks very promising.
[Quote = majamivice; 10236149] Ciao. Mi sono imbattuto in questo thread e questo incredibile paio di giorni fa di EA e devo dire che questo č incredibile. Comunque so che questo si suppone per scambiare su TF pių alti, ma mi piace pių basso TF e ho avuto idea da MT Task per testare M5 con H4 all'interno del bar e sembra molto buono. Volevo testare in condizioni difficili con scarso deposito di $ 400 con lotto fisso 0,1 no exit, TP e SL 100 pips e trailing start 60 pips. Ho avuto circa il 50% di DD il primo giorno dopo l'apertura della sessione asiatica e dopo che ha ottenuto il profitto. Questo č un demo account e ha solo 2 giorni, ma sembra molto promettente. {Image} [/ quote]
can you post your settings?
