Call me a dummy  but i am still confused with the time difference, i dont understand why the clock has to be set back 2 hours on ibfx or forward for others..
Good idea about giving something back to the creators when we actually make money from this, i'll support that.. |
The time difference is needed because the ea uses hours to place trades as a filter. The time used is the server time. I hope to change the settings within the ea eventually but I would need a list of all brokers being used and the time zone used by the broker. There is a check in MT4 that will tell me the broker but I do not want to spend the time checking evey broker platform for the time settings. FXDD is GMT plus 2, IBFX is GMT. That is why the 2 hours less difference is used for IBFX. If your broker is GMT -2 you would need to add 2 to the time settings.
The indicator settings on the chart are only for a visual confirmation. The ea calls the indicators with the values used as inputs. The ea will work even if the indicators are not on the chart.
