I like PipMaker

I love pipmaker too... but what pairs are you using it on, Hooshmand?

I think this EA needs a time filter. I want to trade it during the asian session alone. The current time filter only lets stops it from trading on a specific date.

Can someone help me? I am not a programmer.

PipMaker v15_1 has a start time/end time parameter in the INPUT settings.

Be sure the time of your broker, lines up with the Asian session. Contact your broker for that information.

Ok, here is updated version.
Some features requested, some cleanup,some fixes.

- Added TP (take profit)
- Added MinSpacing for AutoSpacing. If auto calculated spacing is less than MinSpacing is automatically set = MinSpacing
- Added OneDirectionOnly: won't allow buy and sell at same time
- Added compatibility with 5 difits brokers
- Added compatibility to ECN/STP brokers
- Changed time filter to not depend on day, only on hour and minute. Also rewrite of function.
- Removed Reference thing as is completely useless and added MagicNumber.
MagicNumber should define a EA, not a pair. Anyway all checks are done with MagicNumber AND Symbol so no problem here.
- Added ExclusiveMode: will not trade if any other open order is found, either same symbol and different magic, either other symbol no matter magic
- Rearange external variables to more logic order
- Some code cleanup

The EA has faced a high drawdown these last days. The max drawdown was near 400$.

Hey enforcer.

Excellent work on the EA with the new additions. The problem is, in a back test, i use the pause time functionality for trading the asian session eg 600 to 2100 which works fine. But when i want to trade the Uk session only and pause asian session (eg for AUDNZD) the back test runs, but not within the times I want.

Also, it works in back test, but does not work on my 5 digit live Alpari account. There are no error messages on my journal.

Any ideas?

For time filter - I made a quick patch, basically is working on same logic.
end time cannot be lower than start time, in other words is working on time interval for same day, like 14.20-22.10 can't work if timeframe cross midnight, like 22.30-3.30.

I can't say why not working on live, I'll take a look.
