I don't think I understand... but if the execution takes longer then we get slippage. Orders are sent but the broker still must execute them, isn't it? p.s. Besides, I'm also using FNG some times

Ok, people, I need your help I fail to find a broker since Alpari UK's went broke. I tried Activ Trades but for some reason their execution speed is too slow on the live account (500ms-6seconds even on 0.01 lot during good liquidity?!?!) . Maybe ...

Does anyone here trade on mt5, and with ActivTrades in particular? Have you compared the execution speed on demo vs live?

Can someone please explain what magic number is all about? I tried to look for but didn't find a clear explanation.

Does anyone know how can I borrow the STWAN code from the AmazingEA and add it to some of my other EAs? Is it even possible?

I traded the Canadian news yesterday . Got 45 pips! One of the best ever But I did it with fng. When analyzing it I came to conclusion that I don't won't to use straddle on this one. Not enough clear history of independent movement. It usually ...

I asked them. Does it sound ok? [Ecaterina ] at 10:59 pm CET [me] It only takes one minute? I want to know when NOT to trade [Ecaterina ] no, the trading doesn't stop at 11 pm. You can trade all the time from 11pm CET Sunday untill 11pm CET Friday ...

Alan, thanks for your work!! I have a question here... I think you mentioned it but I can't find. What happens if the market gaps or if the platform freezes right at the opening of the news minute? How does AmazingEA handle this? On yesterday ...

Has anyone tried to convert the AmazingEA to the language of JForex for using it in Dukascopy? I did it and it said the conversion succeeded but it doesn't open the orders. Though all the real time info on the chart does work.

Straddle trading EA

Dukascopy say that their liquidity is 100 – 200 mio on Majors. What do they mean? That you can enter 1000 lots in one position?? Or is it the liquidity offered to all their clients at any given time? Sorry for this newbism but I have never traded ...

Your right btw. Selling the eurchf was the only sane option because it was obvious that franc would leap when the pegging is quited. But the thing is that you probably won't get your $10k

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

Btw guys, I just don't get it how anyone could even trade the franc... It was so clear that the pegging creates an artificial price and puts too much power in the hands of SNB. This scenario is the opposite of free market. They HAD the power to ...

Alan, I've just realized what "stop limit" orders are all about! MT5 always has them included. They are perfect to control slippage! Don't you want to code the AmazingEA to use them instead of just "stop" orders? Btw I think virtual straddle with ...

Well it was couple times PointsAway=30 and ModifyGap=3. I felt that I should have set ModifyGap to be 1/10 of the PointsAway. For example PointsAway=50 ModifyGap=5 or PointsAway=100 ModifyGap=10. You think the next is safe enough? PointsAway=30 ...

Straddle trading EA

I see, thank you for explaining again. I just hope that ModifyGap=10 will be be safe enough if, say, PointsAway is only 2 pips (20 points). I've already set it this low with success.

Straddle trading EA

Alan, if you make it at least like 1.1.8 it will be absolutely awesome! But how is it MO? Every point? If it is could you code it to be adjustable or is it too difficult?

Straddle trading EA

Ok here I changed the code for PointsAway (that is hard coded and can only be changed through the code) I changed it for 4 pips (40 points for 5 digit broker) but if you want to change it search for this part of the code: spread = Ask - Bid; HO = H ...
